The Devil's Teardrop
“More bullets than Parker’d ever seen or heard in all his weeks on the range at Quantico.
Glass, wood, splinters of metal shot through the living room.
Parker huddled on the floor, the precious yellow pad still on the desk. He tried to grab it but a cluster of slugs pummeled the floor in front of him and he leapt back against the wall.
Lukas and Cage crawled out the front door and collapsed into the hallway, weapons drawn, looking for a target out the window. Shouting, calls for backup, cries fo...r help. Tobe Geller pushed back from the desk but the chair legs caught on the uneven floor and he tumbled backward. The computer monitor imploded as a dozen slugs struck it. Parker went for the yellow pad again but dropped to his belly as a line of bullets snapped into the walls, heading straight for him. He dodged the volley and lay flat on the floor.
Thinking, as he had before tonight, that he was nearly as afraid of being wounded as he was of dying. He couldn’t stand the thought of the Whos seeing him hurt, in the hospital.MoreLess
