Love Me And Die (1988)
“The area around the motel was strangely quiet. No one had come to see the cause of the shooting. I realized the sniper must have used a silenced gun.
Toby Jessup jumped to her feet as I came close to her. She stared at me with the numbness of shock in her expression. She made a whimpering cry and began to run. She came toward me and then veered away. I reached for her and missed. I could hear her breathing in gusty, jerky sobs. She turned in the direction of the street. She didn’t act as if she... had been hit by anything more deadly than shock.
I went after her. She moved fast for someone handicapped by a tight skirt and high heels. She got as far as her car. She was trying frantically to get into it when I reached her.
I grabbed her arm. I said, “Take it easy. You’re all right now.”
She whimpered again and twisted around to face me. The shock was still on her face. Suddenly she threw her arms around my neck and pressed herself against me like a child hunting refuge from the bogy man.MoreLess
