Chapter 18: Kitchen Table
The shape at the hatch leaned down, and I fired.
The gun kicked so hard it nearly left my hand.
The shot went wide and took a chip out of the stone ceiling, and the man jerked back with a curse.
"Again," Bruna breathed. "Do it again, Raffi."
His boot came over the edge of the hatch.
I aimed at the thigh above it, because I couldn't make myself aim higher, and squeezed.
He screamed.
He came down the ladder all at once, a hundred and eighty pounds of black coat, and hit the stone beside Emanuele's feet.
His rifle skidded away across the floor.
Bruna put her cleaver an inch from his ear.
"Don't," she said, pleasantly.
Above us, the front of the house exploded again.
The two Cortese men from the road had come back at a run.
I heard one shout, and an engine tear off down the gravel, and then a long silence with only the rain in it.
The old captain's voice floated down the hatch, thin and cross.
