  The burst of fire caught Warren Casey as he attempted to vault to the next building. It ripped through him and the darkness fell immediately, and far, far up from below, the last thought that was ever signalled was That’s right!

  “No, sir,” the security sergeant defended himself. “It was a matter of shoot him or let him escape.”

  McGivern snorted his disgust.

  The sergeant said wonderingly, “Funny thing was, he could’ve finished off the three of us. We were the only ones on the roof here. He could’ve shot us and then got away.”

  “No,” McGivern growled. “He had plenty of guts.”
