The ‘music’ is still playing, and I don’t hear the sound, but beside me, a half-empty cocktail glass shatters and Klempner, snatching at my arm, tugs me to one side. Crouching behind the bar, “That’s Finchby.”
“How d’you know it’s Finchby?”
“Because he’s a fucking lousy shot.”
“So, where’s Baxter?”
Above us, in a line on the shelves above us, the top rank of bottles shatter, exploding their contents in a multi-hued shower of liquid and shattered glass. “That’s Baxter.” Abruptly, the music cuts out…
“Thank fuck for that,” mutters Klempner beside me, inching up to look over the bar.
Another line of fire, lower this time…
Finchby’s voice. “That’s my stock you’re shooting up, Baxter…”
Klempner grins. “C’mon… They’re in the office.” His head swings. “Where’s Jenny?”
“Down the stairs. Hopefully, Michael already has her out.”
“Good. That gives us a free hand.” He checks his watch. “Right, with me… One, two, three…”
His rifle over the bar, Klempner fires blind towards the office door. It chatters then falls silent. He curses…
Out of ammo?
Jammed?
… then tugs a handgun from his pocket and fires. “Run…”
