I pulled out my phone and texted Rachel.
Found one. Rooftop across from hotel. About to engage. Come when you can.
I looked around, found an air conditioning unit about 20 feet away, and stood up on it as quietly as I could.
I was fully aware that I was making myself a target for any other snipers, so I had to be quick.
With the extra three feet of height, I could see the shooter’s prone body dressed all in black.
I raised my suppressed Glock and fired twice: once at his left arm and again at his left leg.
He screamed bloody murder and scrambled to pull a pistol –
“DON’T,” I shouted, “or I’ll kill you. Roll over NOW or I shoot you. Three, two – ”
He rolled off the opposite side of the enclosure, away from me.
At the same time, I jumped off the air conditioning unit and ran towards him.
I heard him SLAM into the rooftop and stifle a scream.
I whipped around the corner, my gun pointed at the ground –
But Rachel was already standing there, her gun pointed at the shooter’s head. “I got him.”
I quickly bent over and took the pistol from the man’s holster.
Rachel pointed at the stairwell. “Question him inside in case there are more?”
“Good idea,” I said –
And stomped my heel into the guy’s face, breaking his nose.
“FUUUUCK!” he screamed as he clutched at his face.
Now that he was stunned and less capable of being devious, I grabbed his vest and dragged him to the stairwell.
Once the door shut behind us, it was pitch black inside. Rachel used the flashlight function on her cell phone and shined it into the guy’s face. He blinked up at the light as blood streamed down the lower half of his face.
“How many more shooters are out there?” I asked.
The guy didn’t answer – he just glared at me –
So I kicked the bullet wound on his leg.
“FUCK!” he howled as he clutched it in agony.
“I’ll ask again – ”
“NOBODY! There’s nobody fuckin’ else!”
Nobody! Thar’s nobody fookin’ else!
I frowned. He sounded like he had a Scottish accent. “You don’t sound Italian – or Russian, for that matter.”
“That’s because I’m not, genius!” he snarled.
Thas because I’m nawt, jane-yus!
