Chapter 17: Real Guns
"Emanuele."
He was off the bed before I had finished his name.
He didn't ask what I'd seen.
He looked at my face, and then at the black window, and his hand went under the pillow for the gun.
"Where?"
"Trees. By the road. Engine running, no lights."
"Boots," he said. "Now."
I had one on when the porch light went out.
There was no bang, only a flat cough and the sound of glass raining across the boards.
A man shouted outside, and then a rifle answered, and then the whole night split open.
I dropped to the floor.
The gunfire came from three sides, short ugly bursts that tore the porch rail to splinters.
Something heavy fell against the front door and slid down it.
"Captain!" a voice yelled. "Captain's hit!"
Emanuele crawled to the bedroom door, unlocked, and pulled it open an inch.
The front room was dark.
The stove glowed red.
