... and heard a door close, upstairs and to the right.

"Alfred," Steve said, keeping his voice low, "betcha money. What say we put a few holes in his sorry ass?"

He started for the stairs, the question rhetorical. That loony craphound needed to be dead, for more reasons than Steve could count.

Claire caught up to him, put a hand on his shoulder.

"Listen, some of the stuff I found back at the prison ... he's not just crazy, he's seriously deranged.

Like serial killer deranged."

"Yeah, I got that," Steve said. "All the more reason to take him out ASAP."

"Just ... let's just be careful, okay?"

Claire seemed worried, and Steve felt protective all of a sudden, big time.

Oh, yeah, he's going down, he thought grimly, but nodded for Claire's sake. "You got it."

They moved quickly up the stairs, stopping outside the door they'd heard close. Steve stepped ahead of Claire, who cocked an eyebrow but said nothing.

"On three," he whispered, turning the knob very slowly, relieved that it was unlocked. "One-two-three!"

He shouldered the door, hard, bursting into the room and sweeping with the machine pistol, ready to shoot the first thing that moved, but nothing did. The room, a softly lit office lined with bookshelves, was empty.

Claire had gone in and turned left, past a couch and coffee table on the north wall. Disappointed, Steve stepped after her, expecting another door to another hall, so sick of the stupid mazes all over the place that he could just shit...

He stopped and stared, exactly what Claire was doing. Perhaps ten feet away was a wall, a dead end with two empty spaces set in a plaque at about chest level, indentations shaped like Lugers.
