American Blood
“He walked up the street on the reserve side, keeping to the trees. When he reached the house he could see the white Audi parked farther east. Hopefully it was empty, too. He imagined Bolt had been sent to clear the other side of the river and whoever had been in the cars was now in his home. With the woman either dead or hostage.
He stood in the trees, watching.
Light traffic on the road, maybe a car a minute. Gut feeling said there was no one in the Audi. The dilemma being if he was wrong, he’...d be seen as he crossed the street.
Which was probably more than a slim chance, because leaving both cars unoccupied wasn’t a bright move. Home invasion–cum-homicide, you want someone with eyes on the street. The very stupid or very arrogant might neglect it. Or maybe that had been Bolt’s role, covering the approach.
Choices.
The Audi had tinted glass. There was no way to check it without breaking a window. He knew it would trigger the alarm, but he preferred that to being seen crossing the street and getting shot as a consequence.MoreLess
