Series arc
Through book 8
The Crocodilian stripper who volunteers to drive heat two and learns park from reverse at the wheel (B8 ch. 17, B8 ch. 18). He sobs with joy back at the garage and sees Corky and Pontiff for the first time (B8 ch. 22); his Triage 5 reads nothing wrong with Dong (B8 ch. 24). The sock attacks him (B8 ch. 59); Pontiff makes amends with him, and he answers, 'Everyone dies in this place' (B8 ch. 71). By the parade he is the last stripper left, sitting it out in Carl's pink room (B8 ch. 85, B8 ch. 90).
