The youth looked poised for flight. Fear lit eyes that were much too old for his fifteen years. “Yeah.”
“Why didn’t you tell the police?”
“No way! I’m not gonna end up like him.”
“Him who? You mean Thorton Biggs?”
Matt didn’t seem to hear her questions. “You were smart not to tell them everything. The cops can’t protect us, you know.”
She thought of Thad Osher and understood immediately. The man was a cop, but he was also a jerk. She laid a hand on Matt’s arm and he jumped like a startled deer.
“It’s okay, Matt.”
“No. That’s why I came to warn you. We aren’t safe anymore. You have to go away. Someplace safe.”
“Matt, it’s okay.” But his fear had communicated itself just fine. She felt suddenly exposed, standing in the middle of the alley like this. “Let’s go inside and—”
The crack of the gun was shockingly loud. The shot must have passed between her head and Matt’s because it shattered the corner brick right behind them.
“Run!”
The boy was already taking his own advice. He sprinted to the dumpster with impressive speed.
Nicki heard the second and third shots ricochet before she followed his example and ran. She headed for the steps leading up to her apartment. Her fingers fumbled with the keys in her hand, searching for the one that would open the door. Another shot. Louder. Closer.
She reached the steps. Running footsteps pounded toward her. Too scared to scream, she started to climb. The keys slipped through her fingers.
“Nicki!”
She whirled.
Alex stood behind her, a gun in his right hand. It was pointed directly at her chest.
