5.

Tom McClellan took the stairs in a run.

Once his men had the building surrounded, he headed up the steep concrete stairwell that opened up into the mall’s food court. The first thing he noticed was that everything looked pretty much normal, which was not what he had been expecting. At the very least, he expected screaming and running.

“All sites, report in,” he said into his hand mic. A flurry of short checks piped in his ear. “Keep one agent on each door,” he said once all of his men had checked in. “Everyone else, move in. Holster your weapons until we have eyes on the shooter or Abraham Snow.”

“Who, sir?” a voice called back.

Following his own order, McClellan holstered his weapon and stepped into the bustling food court. “Snow is a private contractor. Jeans and a black suit jacket. Look for a guy with black hair that looks like it hasn’t been combed in a week or two. He was last seen in pursuit of the shooter, so remember, he’s on our sides, boys and girls.”

“This is Ellison. I’ve got a visual,” a voice said in his ear.

“Where?”

“East end of the food court… near the sandwich shop.”

“What’s he doing?” Mac asked, stepping up his pace.

“He’s talking with someone,” Ellison reported. “Female. Could be our shooter. Moving in for a closer look.”

“Be careful,” Mac warned. “If it is the shooter, she’s armed and dangerous.”

“Understood.”

Agent MacClellan could see the sign above the sandwich shop. He was close. With a hand on his service weapon, he eased through the crowd until he caught sight of his men. When they saw him, they pointed, and he followed to see his friend sitting at a table talking to a woman. He assumed she was the shooter, although he hadn’t gotten as good a look at her as Snow had, so he couldn’t be sure.

He held up a hand, signaling his men to hold position. If the woman hadn’t seen them yet, she would soon enough. The last thing he needed was a shootout with so many innocent bystanders around. Her back was to him though, so the agent eased forward, slowly, carefully.

Snow saw him and waved him off with a simple hand signal.

Agent MacClellan didn’t know what was going on, but he trusted his friend. He would give him a few minutes before he had to move in.

He thumbed his mic. “All agents… hold position. Move in on my signal only.”

“Your move, Snowman,” he whispered.

Snow saw Mac heading his way.

He made a soft gesture, convincing his friend to keep his distance for the moment. When he saw his friend on the mic, he hoped he was telling his men to do the same. He wasn’t sure what would happen if the shooter saw federal agents approaching from all sides with guns drawn. He suspected it would not end well for any of them, especially if her threat of planting an explosive device was genuine. He couldn’t afford to take the chance that it was a bluff.
