The Gentlemen's Hour

149

Johnny’s next two shots take out the Crazy Boy who comes in first, but the next one—the one they call Chainsaw—hits the floor, rolls to the right, and comes up shooting.

Diving to the floor himself, Johnny tips the coffee table in front of him, but it’s not much cover, and the little machine pistol blasts a swath across the top, sending splinters of glass and wood spraying across the room.

When Johnny comes up, he can’t find the shooter.

Chainsaw finds him, though, and is about to squeeze off another burst when his heart blows up instead.

Petra stands against the wall.

Pistol gripped in both hands.
