Unleashing a (silent) berserker howl, Cuban Pete leaped up from his sitting position and charged at Rattlesnake Jack. Cuban Pete was momentarily surprised that someone could be slipped and not stay still on the ground for several seconds, but got over his surpise as he charged.

With a speed and efficiency alien to the unrobust, Pete wrapped his gloved fingers around Rattlesnake Jack's throat. He switched to an aggressive stance. He tightened his grip around Rattlesnake Jack (now neck!)! Cuban Pete began violently throttling Rattlesnake Jack, shaking Jack's head like a ragdoll as he did so.
