The Disposable Man
““You gotta be shittin’ me,” he snarled back in the car. “We just clobbered ’em in there. Right now, they’re beating their brains out trying to keep alive. Jesus, if a bunch of dumb cops have ’em pegged, how far behind can the bad guys be?”

He rubbed his forehead like a frustrated tutor. “Who cares? CIA, KGB, Russian Mafia—it doesn’t matter.
