“the guard’s face shook as he spoke. Sweat rolled down the bridge of his nose. Michael put his hands up in surrender, coughing on the stink of the man’s adrenaline. “Don’t you move!” He glanced at the body in the bed, and turned a purply-gray color. Michael looked around desperately for a way out of the tiny room. The guard’s body took up the entire doorway. Michael bent slowly and shouldered his bag. “I said don’t move!” his voice was hysterical. The radio at his hip beeped, and stat...ic crackled through the room. “Do you have him?” The guard jumped at the question, and let out a faint whimper. He wiped sweat off his brow with his free hand. Michael eyed the doorway and crouched, ready to run the moment he had an opening. “Do you have him?” the question came again, more insistent. The gun shook as he tried to detach the device from his belt without taking his eyes off of Michael. His sweaty finger slipped off the trigger. Michael ducked and shot forward, shoving the man’s outstretched arm to the side as he passed. He lowered the scythe with his right hand, taking out the man’s legs as he swept past. He heard the rattle of the curtain as he dove out the door and into the hall. Then he was running. He shot into the hall and back into the room next door. The nose-haired man sat bolt upright in the bed and shouted obscenities at him as he shoved everything out the window.MoreLessRead More Read Less
