I’m just saying, Michael—can I call you Michael? I’m calling you Michael—the craftsmanship on these bags is a dying art. It’s like your police work, probably. Except with more leather and fewer... whatever it is you do with those little plastic baggies."70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKgTIgDIoLm

Michael Mann didn't respond. He couldn't. His arms were currently occupied by six oversized shopping bags from Le Pont, and his dignity was hanging by a thread. He stood in the middle of the mall’s valet circle, looking like a cobalt-blue pack mule.70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6dCNJCid8l

"The Captain said 'safehouse,' Madison," Michael growled, his jaw set so tight it ached. "He didn't say 'shopping spree at the Galleria.'"70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEplCL31oJl

"A girl needs her essentials if she’s going to be holed up in some drab government apartment with you," Madison chirped, clicking her key fob. Her pearl-white convertible chirped back. "Besides, I left my other bags in the garage where that creepy guy with the watch was. These are replacements. It’s called retail therapy, look it up."70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdbaZpSTQUH
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmPlg2jIUsj
Michael dumped the bags into the tiny trunk with a heavy thud. "Get in the car. Now."70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtGuKjzlbkC
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGcdMgnGfko
As they pulled out of the mall, the sun was beginning to dip, casting long, orange shadows across the eight-lane highway. Michael kept his eyes moving—checking his side mirrors every three seconds, scanning the overpasses.70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZvA8iLk0S
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbo5OIAsq3R
Madison, meanwhile, was busy adjusting the climate control. "Ugh, why is it so cold in here? And this radio station? Michael, honey, 80s power ballads? Really? This is why you’re single. I bet you have a 'Greatest Hits' CD at home, don't you?"70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4qu7wgjjno
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa1ZvMCf3mx
"I like the melody," Michael muttered, gripping the steering wheel.70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfykIyJpxou

"It’s depressing. It sounds like a breakup in a rainy parking lot. We need something with a beat. Something that says 'I’m rich and I saw a murder but I still look fabulous.'" She reached for the dial, her hand brushing his.70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwRULrPNGxA

The side mirror on Michael’s side disintegrated in a shower of plastic and glass.70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcbss8A5Oo0

"What was that?!" Madison shrieked, ducking down. "Did we hit a bird? Michael, did you hit a pigeon?!"70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQwKpdVaMAI
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡORB9oBN2UY
"Get down!" Michael yelled, his voice shifting into a cold, tactical tone. He didn't look at the mirror; he looked at the black van four cars back in the fast lane. A sliding door was open just a crack. He saw the glint of a barrel. "That wasn't a bird. That was a .338 Lapua."70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡREoZMIPHGB

Michael slammed his foot on the gas. The convertible’s engine roared, the needle jumping from 65 to 90 in seconds. He swerved hard to the right, weaving through a gap between two semi-trucks just as a second bullet punched a hole through the trunk, right through a $4,000 leather tote.70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4yy9ZFO154
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH4K1OfD7eH
"MY BAG!" Madison screamed, popping her head up. "He shot my limited edition lizard-skin clutch! That’s it! Kill him, Michael! Use your father's gun and blow his head off!"70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqrkDtDUw7c
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZ6UYtCYPX
"Stay down!" Michael pulled his service weapon, but he couldn't fire back while weaving through five lanes of rush-hour traffic.70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡostqULSsJu
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0k8wg2nGPU
Behind them, the black van didn't bother weaving. It simply plowed through a sedan, sending it spinning into the guardrail. The Marksman was out now, anchored to a harness in the back of the van, his long-range rifle resting on a stabilized bipod.70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡApx8dleHcr

"Michael! The car is doing the jig! Why is it doing the jig?!" Madison was clutching her seat, her knuckles white.70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbCTklI1EwW

"We’re on the rim!" Michael gritted his teeth, fighting the steering wheel as the car drifted toward a steep embankment. He looked ahead. A construction zone. Orange cones, a narrow lane, and a massive yellow crane. "Madison, reach into my jacket. The inner pocket!"70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡia5zYY4amb

She fumbled inside his coat, her fingers brushing the warm leather of his holster. She pulled out the heavy metal clip. "This?! What do I do with it?!"70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgiAouHN6EM

Michael slammed the brakes, forcing the black van to overshoot them. As the van screeched past, Michael leaned out the window, steering with his knee for a split second, and emptied his clip into the van's engine block.70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuCVEeAKX7I

Steam and fire erupted from the van's hood. The van swerved, hitting a water barrel and spinning out in a spectacular spray of foam and debris.70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCvPa4aRDs7
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV4Ehq2gkBu
But their own car was dead. The rim was glowing red-hot, and the engine was coughing black smoke. Michael steered them off the exit ramp, the car coming to a grinding halt in a gritty, industrial part of town.70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNPaEl9IlDX
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNqqjI4sJTW
Silence fell, broken only by the tink-tink-tink of the cooling engine.70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8lzqSCEHZt

Madison sat up, her hair a mess, one of her earrings missing. She looked at the smoke, then at Michael, who was already reloading his weapon with calm, terrifying efficiency.70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqirRdHitR2

"And you're alive," Michael said, opening the door and pulling her out by the arm. "Which is a miracle considering how much you talk. Come on. We’re on foot."70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUGkUhUp0cT
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX0FR7XGyo0
"On foot? In these?!" She pointed to her heels. "Michael, there is literally mud on the sidewalk. I can't walk in mud!"70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSeO3MCcbLT
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQrLrgpnga
"Then crawl," Michael said, scanning the skyline. He saw a neon sign flickering a few blocks away. It was a pink heart. A Love Hotel. "We need to disappear. And I know just the place."70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdAIKeI1nXZ
