A spray of scarlet stained the glass as people began to scream in horror. Just as well, too, as I didn't want to see the mangled remains of Gherone's head.
I looked over the side of building to check for any stragglers on the street, then down the left end of the busy street. A bright series of lights caught my eye as they approached my location.
Police lights.
The sirens increased in loudness as they pulled up in a disorganized bunch outside the curb in front of the Ceranine building. Five officers got out of a large van and entered the building, while the rest of the officers cordoned off the area.
Then I heard a slam.
I turned behind me and pulled my snubnose, to find a uniformed officer staring at me, radio in hand. "Hey! You! Get over here!" The officer commanded, pointing to the ground next to him. I shook my head, and he began to excitedly talk into his radio. All I heard was the words, "..deadly force."
I fumbled with my gun as I clicked off my safety, shot the officer in the foot, and ran down the stairs to the lobby of the building, leaving my Springfield behind. As I exited the building, I pulled out my PDA and made a call.
The line crackled as I heard a voice materialize on the other side. "Is he dead?"
"Yep. I want the 'cake' delivered to my door by noon tomorrow, or you're next." I hung up the phone, and dropped it in my pocket before being approached by two police officers. They were both tall, and well built. "Sir, may we ask you a few questions?"
I nodded, tightly gripping my snubnose within my pocket. One of them pulled out handcuffs and inquired of me, "Do you think these would fit on your wrists?" as he began to come towards me. I kicked him in the groin, and punched the other in the face before running down an alley to the left of McRanie that would take me to Salvador Avenue.
"Police are still locating the suspect, who had a vantage point from the McRanie Apartments across the street from which he was able to take a clear shot of Mr. Gherone, who is now deceased. We will keep you updated with information as more of it comes in.."
I sat on my couch, counting my money which arrived less than an hour earlier in a silver briefcase. Fifty thousand dollars sat in the briefcase, and I closed it, feeling very content.
Until I heard another knock on the door.
I looked through the peephole, to find nobody standing there. I slowly opened the door, and looked around. I saw nobody but a dossier sitting on my doormat.
"Wonderful." I muttered, as I scooped up the envelope and walking back inside, locking the door in the process.
