man has killed a lot of people. It was Kurshin who attacked our embassy in Paris."

"And you have killed, too," Maria said.

"Go up to the roof, dear," Kurshin said, his voice just around the corner, not more than five feet away. He had snuck up on them. McGarvey hadn't heard a thing; he hadn't been listening carefully enough. It had been a terribly foolish mistake.

He pulled Maria around behind him, and shoved her down the corridor.

"All right, Arkasha," he said in a reasonable tone as he backed off a couple of paces and raised his pistol. "I wonder if one of us is out of ammunition. Let's see, shall we?"

Kurshin started to laugh, but he cut himself off abruptly. For just a moment McGarvey thought it was another of the Russian's tricks, but then he heard the sirens in the distance. A lot of sirens, sometimes loud on the wind, then fading, but definitely getting closer.

Someone from the hotel must have called the police to report the shooting. But a town this size would not have so many police. There were a dozen sirens out there, maybe more.

But if Kurshin had traced them this far, perhaps Captain Es-formes had done the same.

"Goddamnit, what are you waiting for?" McGarvey suddenly shouted. He was not going to be cheated! Not this time!

There was no answer from the stairwell, and the sirens were definitely coming closer.

"Kurshin!" McGarvey shouted.

"What is it?" Maria asked, frightened.

"It's your friend Esformes, I think. Maybe the army as well."

"After us?"

"I think so," McGarvey said through a red haze. Girding himself, he rushed the stairwell, extending his arm around the corner and firing two shots, then rolling into the open, firing a third shot.

But there was no one there. Kurshin was gone.

"Arkady!" McGarvey shouted. "You bastard! Come back!"
