Hard Case Crime: Passport to Peril
“Then Otto’s body pitched through the doorway to land on the floor on top of me. Whoever had seized my wrist out of the dark had fired.
The explosion was deafening. It was a few seconds before I made out a voice saying quietly, “Get on your feet. Get on your feet and open the window. Hurry.” It was a vaguely familiar voice, speaking English.
I started to my feet, and my hand touched Otto’s face. I said, “Be careful. There’s another one out there.” I felt someone brush past me, then a shot crashe...d down the corridor. I stood stock-still. There was no outcry, there was no answering shot.
I pulled down the window. The wind felt good in my face.
“Get out,” said the voice behind me. “Get out. We haven’t any time.”
I landed in the snow. There was enough light flickering through the falling snow so that I caught the gun that dropped from the window. It was Otto’s Luger.
Sound came on the wind from the station. There were three quick shots, warning shots fired into the air.MoreLess
