Threats
“CHICO knocked on the front door for some time before moving to the window. David lifted the sash and held out his hand for Chico to take as he crawled in. The detective was a thin man, but it took some leverage to pull him through. He moved as if struggling against considerable weight, and the two men had to take a break in the middle of the action, while the detective’s legs still rested on the ground outside.
The detective tried to find a toehold on the brick wall. He grunted and sighed. “You...’ve got to get that door fixed,” he said.
“It may be electrified.”
“I know. I know you think it may be electrified.” He wedged his foot into a crack in the foundation and hefted himself in.

David produced one of the police blankets and made a nest around Chico’s feet.MoreLess
