The Big Dip (2009)
The Big Dip
“It had been a bullet.
Skip’s eyes widened. The terror in them mirrored mine. I could tell he was having the same thought. While we were leaning over the bar, the bullet had skimmed right over our heads.
People around us were screaming. They started running away, shoving at each other in their desperation to get out. There were all kinds of people, all ages, shapes and sizes, all scared out of their minds.
The stocky woman caught the fear too. Changing her mind about helping the old man, she use...d her big purse to push people aside. Behind her was a lean guy with a blue and white Vancouver Canadians baseball cap. He said something to the woman and pointed over the crowd. She kept bashing her way through.
“There’s a shooter around here,” Skip said in my ear. His voice was choked. It was the first time I’d ever heard Skip sound frightened. Usually he was so confident, so sunny. Nothing fazed him.
“Let’s get outta here,” he urged.
The attendant looked like he wanted to run too.MoreLess
