Houston Attack
“Hawker was doubly surprised because he had just checked the area ahead through the Star-Tron.
The guard must have been staked out behind the massive garage.
As Hawker edged along the side of the garage, a cold voice stopped him? “Freeze. Put down your weapon, then place your hands against the wall. Now.”
The voice came from about ten feet behind him. Hawker hesitated, then realized he had no choice. To try to shoot it out would have brought a dozen other guards on the run.
Slowly Hawker placed ...the Colt Commando on the ground, then leaned his hands against the side of the garage.
“The side arm, too, buddy. And that knapsack you’re carrying.”
There was a nervous quiver in the guard’s voice. Hawker found that reassuring. He lifted the Walther out of its little holster and dropped it in the dirt beside his pack.
Gravel crunched beneath the guard’s feet as he came closer. He kicked Hawker’s feet wider apart, then began to frisk him with his left hand.
Hawker knew it was now or never.MoreLess
