Dead Wrong
“Hansen made a more professional first impression, but he lacked confidence and by inference, ability. Tall and angular, freckled, with that innocent boy-next-door appearance of a jock watching his high school glory days disappearing in life’s rearview mirror. Like Doolittle, he’d probably become a rent-a-cop after washing out of a police academy somewhere. Physically he was big enough, maybe even tough enough, at one time. But now it looked like he had a bad case of gelatin brain.
Sikes offered... Hansen his ID. “Officer Hansen, Warren Sikes, Department of Defense.” Sure, it was a waste of time playing diplomacy to these walk-ons. And if Hansen had any smarts at all, he’d get on the horn jackrabbit fast, call SPD, stand back, and let the big boys play. But the longer this little charade dragged on, the more time Sikes had to personally deal with the traitor, McCarthy. The downside, of course, was the longer this dragged on, the more time McCarthy had to break through the perimeter.MoreLess
