Running the Red Light (2013)
“Roxanne said deliberately, “about the time pigs become bush pilots in hell.”

Oh, Lord.
No one moved until the glass hit the table and exploded into a million shards. Then, the dog started barking as though he were being chased by a rottweiler. Ashton sputtered, Mr. Herman tried mopping up and Jamie began cussing in what sounded like three different languages.
