Silencer
“When Dino appeared around the edge of the screen and saw me, he froze like a deer in a set of oncoming headlights.
The titanium tubing and the hydraulics that made up his new knee glinted below a midnight-blue towelling bathrobe. He swayed slightly, as if he wanted to back away but I’d nailed his real foot and the false one to the deck. The crimson scar tissue and brutal toothmarks around his remaining calf showed that dogs weren’t always Man’s Best Friend.
Even in this light I could see that h...is expression had nothing to do with being startled by my unexpected presence – and everything to do with what I’d caught him holding. He’d been dropping blue-white crystals from a clear plastic zip-up into a glass pipe shaped like a test-tube, with an air-vented table-tennis ball on its end. Judging by the dark-brown stains and scorch-marks that covered it, Dino was already way past the experimental stage. He stared at me for another second or two, began to shake his head slowly from side to side, then turned back into the house.MoreLess
