them?”
“He sells ‘em,” he muttered. “You said you’d give me a head start.”
“I lied.” Von pressed hard on his carotid artery. He tried to throw her off, but the insistent pressure won the battle, rendering him unconscious.
She rolled him onto his back and fished the weapon from his crotch.
A glance toward the street told her she hadn’t been spotted just yet.
She sprinted in the opposite direction, tossing the bastard’s weapon into a Dumpster. Having him wake up and use it on a cop or anyone else was a possibility she wanted to avoid.
At the other end of the alley, she checked the street in both directions. Another police cruiser, sirens flashing and blaring, skidded into a left turn headed for where her vehicle as well as Jones’s had been left.
