Jimmy Coates (2013)
“While the others crowded round the two captured attackers, Jimmy rushed back to the window. On the carpet were two small cylinders of yellow sponge – the Capita woman’s earplugs. Jimmy kicked them out of the window in annoyance.
“Where did she…?” he began, but he knew there was no point.
“Sorry, Jimmy,” said Saffron. “I tried to bring her down, but she was sturdy. She made it to one of the ropes.” Then the purpose of the attack finally sunk in. “They’ve got Chris…” she gasped.
Jimmy leaned out ...of the jagged hole, searching the shadows below. Was Viggo still in the grounds of the building? How many other Capita fighters were waiting beneath them?
Helen pulled the torches from the soldiers’ heads and set them up on the floor to illuminate the room. Jimmy turned to look at the walls. The bullet marks formed a line around the room, but it was high up. Surely if the men had wanted everybody dead they could have easily spread the gunfire. It was obvious to Jimmy that they were trained fighters.MoreLess
