Death's Door (2010)
Death's Door

The phone was answered with the usual one word, “Yeah?”
The gunman said, “It’s me.” He didn’t have to say anymore. His gravelly voice was his identification.
“So, where are you?”
“I’m across the street from the cat in the hat’s bookstore. I’m in an apartment building. Number two-oh- one, to be exact. It’s empty”—he gave a laugh that was without mirth—“except for me and my M16.”
He reached down and gave the weapon a pat, as if it were a favorite ...dog.
“Nobody saw you go in?”

“Let’s hope so. Any sign of him?”
“Not so far. A car came by driving kind of crazy ten minutes ago. I thought it might be him but he didn’t stop.”
“Keep watching. If the police get him before you do, it’s going to very unfortunate—for all of us.”
The man emphasized the word “all,” turning the line into a threat.MoreLess
