“I should have put you down like a rabid dog when I had the opportunity!”
That was the exact phrase Drum had used. A coincidence? As Mark would say, “Not fucking likely!” Drum and I would have a little talk after I got Mark back to the States.
“Fuck you, bitch.” Mark’s gun was just beyond his grasp, but he didn’t stop trying to reach for it.
Anacapri laughed, a hard sound not in the least pleasant. She was focused so totally on him that it took a few seconds before she realized I was in the room. Her eyes widened, her face flushed, and she started to aim the Ruger at me.
I could have killed her immediately, but I didn’t want her to have an easy death. I aimed at the hand that held the Ruger and fired.
She screamed in pain and outrage, but whatever she might have said was drowned by the roar of another gun being fired, and then her face vanished in a smear of blood, bone, and brains. I glanced to my right. Femme stood there, slowly lowering her weapon.
