Chapter 40
After finishing his snack, Richard strode to stand at the window and parted the curtain to observe the street below. He was disappointed that he would be unable to explore his new home city right away. Basically, because of that damned cop, Stawski, he was housebound. Although, being confined with Julien was an interesting way to pass the time.
Richard pivoted to speak to Julien. Simultaneously, there was the sound of shattering glass and something whizzed by his ear.
Julien tackled him from behind.
“What was that?” Although he was pretty sure he knew the answer.
“A bullet.” Two more shattered the other panes of the window in quick succession. The terrible sound of splintering wood made him jump.
Julien kept his body over Richard’s. “Stay down, mon ange.”
The Enforcers came hurtling up the stairs. Charles and Denis ran out to the street. Three more bullets came through the window. Julien, with Richard beneath him, crawled across the room.
