Excerpt
Special Agent Patrick O’Donnell’s hands trembled slightly as he crept along, anticipating an ambush, with his heart pounding so loudly he was certain the suspects could hear it thumping. He approached a doorway, the dank and dirty back of a Chinese restaurant, the irony of the situation not lost on him. Remnants of rotten vegetables and the pungent shards of wilted cabbage draped over wooden crates stacked haphazardly near the doorway posed a small obstacle to his careful footing. The heavy garlic and ginger odors from the kitchen were not at all contained by the closed door. He cleared the doorway, and was just about to move beyond it when his right foot landed on a crumpled piece of paper. Its crackling sound shot down the otherwise silent alley and echoed loudly off the buildings in the narrow spaces. Startled, he looked down, a fatal mistake one of the suspects spied. Seeing that Pat was distracted, the man jumped from behind a large, green metal dumpster just fifteen yards ahead and aimed his revolver at him. Pat didn’t have much time at all to react. No time to try to aim expertly. He quickly pointed his Beretta at the man and fired two rounds in rapid succession sending booming explosions ripping through the alley. It was a Hail Mary of an attempt at best, but it worked. The first bullet struck the suspect in the left shoulder, followed quickly by a second round to his abdomen. Two spent shells ejected from Pat’s gun and made a sharp metal tinkling sound as they bounced along the solid pavement below. The man fell down and out of the way, his gun and his head simultaneously striking the ground hard.
