It was around 7pm when we next were parked outside of Blondie’s house, about two blocks away. Dusk was coming on, but it was still warm.

I got out of the car, stretched for a minute, then took off down the road at a light jog. I was wearing blue tights and running shoes, a tight grey tanktop and a fanny pack. A visor was helping to hold on a short black wig.

I stepped up the pace, wanting to have a nice glistening sheen of sweat on my chest when Blondie opened the door. Running this fast without a sports bra on was uncomfortable, and starting to hurt, but again, I wanted his eyes on my body and not on my face, on the off chance he recognized me.

I turned around and headed back. I was wearing earbuds in my ears and had what looked like an mp3 player strapped to my forearm. It wasn’t, though.

As I passed back by the parked car I flashed a thumbs-up to Ruby. She scowled back at me. She didn’t like this plan any better than Marty did, but it stayed within the parameters I had set for this kind of operation. Only I went in, they provided technical, logistical, and getaway support. That was dangerous enough.

I jogged up the front steps of the townhouse, breathing heavily and sweating noticeably. And yes, my chest was heaving. The door was unlocked.

There were three apartments, and three buzzers. Number One said Baker, Dolores, on the first floor. Her mailbox was overflowing.

Apartment Two, on the second floor, didn’t have a name, and Apartment Three had a To Let sign on it. I was betting on Apartment Two.

I jogged up the wooden stairs, making plenty of noise so that by the time I knocked on the door to Number Two it opened immediately. I didn’t want to catch anyone by surprise.

He was still wearing his black suit pants and white shirt, but his jacket and tie were missing. He looked mildly surprised, his glance dropping almost immediately to check out my body.

“That your black Taurus out front?” I said to him in the extra-loud voice used by people wearing headphones.

“My car?” He said in surprise, his eyes still drawn to my chest.

“What?” I hollered.

“Huh?” he said, looking up.

“Oh, silly me,” I said, removing the earbuds and unstrapping the black unit from my upper arm. “I can’t hear a thing with these on.” I held the black box in my left hand while I pointed down the stairs with my right. “Is that your black Taurus out there?”

He turned his head to look down the stairs and I shoved the stun gun into his gut, pushing hard on the trigger and shoving him back into his apartment without withdrawing my hand.

He tried to bat it away, but his motor skills were already failing. He tried to catch himself as he tripped backwards, but he fell heavily on his back with me straddling his chest.

I finally let go of the button. I didn’t want him passing out.
