Cop (The Police Trilogy Book 2), page 4
But she heard her voice, business-like, the way it should be in this sort of situation.
“Did they go out the back way?”
“Yes,” he replied, moving off down the side of the diner to find the alley behind.
“It’s an ambush.”
She fell into step behind him.
“Shit.”
At the corner, they stopped, and he peeked round, swearing to himself again.
“You have to go,” he said, turning to look back at her.
“What?”
“You can’t be here.”
He was right, but there was no way she was going anywhere.
“You called for backup, I was close and responded.”
“Right, how often is IA rolling on the street?”
Without waiting for a reply, he bolted off and down the alleyway.
Fuck.
She moved up and peeked around, seeing him creeping up on the Mexican stand off that was unfolding between the rest of the Strike Team and the remaining gang members.
His intervention might just be enough to tip the balance.
Eve watched as he caught their attention, and everything changed.
The dynamics shifted, and the Strike Team suddenly had the upper hand. In a flurry of motion and a cacophony of shouting, they descended on their targets, disarming them and putting them in cuffs.
Conrad grabbed the bag from the floor and hitched it over his shoulder.
Whatever it had been about, it was in the bag.
Eve felt something cold pressing into the back of her neck.
“Don’t move Chica,” a voice hissed into her ear, and she put up her hands, letting her weapon dangle from her finger.
The muzzle of the gun dug into her neck and urged her forward. She nearly tripped as she went, feeling him behind her as he forced her down the alleyway with a gun to her head.
“Look what I got,” he called out, and everyone stopped to look at her.
She was a hostage now.
The last bargaining chip on the table.
