Chapter 6

“It’s clear. Look after him, I’ll clear the rest of the place,” Kord ordered and moved off, gun sweeping the room as he walked.

Doyle knelt by Podesta’s side and felt for a pulse in his neck.

“He’s alive,” he called out. He yanked his cell phone from his pocket, then dialed headquarters. “I’ve got a man down. Looks like he’s been beaten. He’s still alive but he needs attention. Now. Send an ambulance and some back-up.” He slipped the phone back into his pocket.

Podesta moaned.

“You’re gonna be okay,” Doyle said, not at all sure that was true. “Who did this? You know who did this?” He didn’t expect an answer but he needed to keep the man focused until help arrived.

Podesta moaned again and his eyes fluttered open. He struggled to speak. “It was…him. The guy…who…” Eyes shut now, he lapsed back into silence.
