The crash of glass she heard made her tighten up into a little ball, trying to make herself as small as she could be. Maybe she'd survive this somehow.
The door to her office rattled, but it wasn't Jacob.
If it was, he would have knocked to tell her that it was all over.
No, she knew who was outside her door.
Again, someone pushed against the door. It rattled in the frame, but that was about all.
That's when she heard the metallic crack of something hitting the glass.
Molly tightened her arms around her legs and prayed.
Begged and prayed.
"Please... Please get here..."

Night vision goggles.
It was crazy that he'd have to thank Detective Jerkzek for buying them on CCPD's dime. The man had been convinced he could collar a petty crime ring using the goggles, but he'd only ended up catching himself in his trap.
The goggles had fogged up on the other detective and while he went to look for a cloth to clean off the lenses, he'd walked in on those thieves and they'd knocked him out cold and still made away with the high end electronics in the store.
He'd never been able to nail the gang either and locked the goggles away in his desk.
Walker had liberated the goggles earlier that day, and now they were coming in handy.
The assholes had left the door unlocked behind them. He hadn't had to break the access door. Another clue that Kate had been right. These guys had someone on the inside working for them.
Jacob pushed the door inward, but kept a low profile, hoping that the men in the office would be overconfident and keep their minds on finding Molly.
That would leave their backs exposed.
Like the man standing in front of him with his own night vision goggles.
Fucking criminals.
"Hey, Chris. I found her office. Get over here."
The man across the floor turned in their direction, and Jacob could only hope that the darkness would hide his silhouette behind the potted artificial ficus tree long enough.
Chris took a few steps in their direction and went down in a heap on the floor.
Walker stood in his place and the man in front of Jacob stepped out to look.
"What the fuck, Chris? Keep the noise down."
Walker shrugged and the other hitman cursed under his breath. "Fucking asshole."
He turned back to Molly's door and lifted his hands.
"Better get this over and done with." He put a shot through the glass door and Jacob saw red.
He put his gun back in his holster and reached out.
He felt the man's neck constrict under his hands as Jacob drove him to the ground.
