Salvation (36 page)

“
Freeze!
” The first security
guard bellowed, his voice pure gravel and menace. He shone his flashlight
directly in my eyes.

“Impressive. Do they teach you how to
sound like Darth Vader in rent-a-cop school? They do, don’t they?” I asked,
holding a hand up to shield myself from the optical onslaught.

“Hands up,” his partner barked. He drew
his gun and pointed it at my head.

“Shit just got real,” I muttered.

“We’re going to jail, aren’t we?” Trevor
asked as he put his hands in the air.

“Oh yeah,” I told him, raising my hands
high above my head. “We are
absolutely
going to jail.”
