âBullseye!â Zollner shouted.
I screamed.
I imagined Massimo lying on the ground bleeding â
The man on the motorcycle fires his gun at my parents â
âYou got him?!â Aurelio asked.
Zollner sounded confused. âWell, it was dead center, but⦠he appears to be carrying⦠a car door?!â
I lifted my head, eyes wide.
ââ¦what?â Aurelio said in bewilderment.
Zollner laughed. âIâll bet he took it off a bulletproof car⦠clever boy!â
Suddenly I could feel my heart beating again.
Aurelio was pissed. âTake out the others, then.â
There was a clack-clack! as Zollner worked the lever on his rifle. The brass shell ejected and hit the rooftop with a metallic clink!
âI shall,â Zollner said cheerfully as he aimed again. âOh, look â theyâre wearing bulletproof vests! Thatâs so cute. Effective against a nine millimeter round, ja⦠but not so good against a .338 Laupa Magnum.â
CRACK.
