Excerpt:
“Tony!” Lori said again. Only now did Red realize she’d been screaming
it. Her eyes were wide, pleading. She pointed to the ground. One of the
gangbangers lay on his belly, blood running from his legs and a small pool
forming under his head. Red was bent over, knuckles clenched in the man’s hair,
pulling him off the pavement. His forearm was bloody and he pressed a
snub-nosed revolver at the mugger’s brain stem. Where’d the pistol come from?
The thug’s eyes were closed; he wasn’t moving. Dead? Resisting the urge
to let go, Red laid the guy’s head on the asphalt.
“Tony, you don’t have to kill that one.” Her voice was shrill.
He backed up, pointing the pistol at the still body. Red licked a
metallic taste from chapped lips, breathing fast and shallow as a panting dog.
What the hell was going on? A tall man an aisle over held up leather-gloved
hands, backing away. He ducked into a Dodge Charger, tires squealing as he
accelerated out of the parking lot.
Red slowed his breathing, then turned to Lori. “The kids?” Where was the
Explorer? He spotted it a few spaces away. The shopping cart lay to one side,
three boxes of number two pencils scattered across the pavement like pickup
sticks. He jumped over the mess, landing next to two bloody heaps, the bodies
of the other muggers. He squinted as the light reflected off one of the scarlet
pools and stifled a retch.
