Safe House (2006)
“He fled from the murderers, from the darkness toward the light, and was quickly out of the alley and onto his own street. He looked back. Nobody there. The killers hadn’t chased him. Then he understood why: Most of the houses were showing lights in their windows. Neighbors disturbed from their sleep by the gunfire were standing in resolutely defensive postures out in the rain on the sidewalk. The women stood facing Liam’s side of the street, arms boldly folded, while the men held make-do weapon...s in their fists: tire irons, wrecking bars, Hurley sticks and the like.
Neighbor Jack Cassidy shouted, “Liam! What happened?”
“They killed my mum and my da!” Liam screamed, pointing to his house, choking on his words. “They killed them!”
“How many of them?”
“Two…” He could hardly speak. His heart was pounding and he was breathless, not from the running so much as from fear…and rage.
Jack Cassidy grabbed him and pushed him to safety through his own front door and into his wife’s arms.MoreLess
