Gun in hand, Mr. Data started up, moving like a cat, slowly, cautiously.

The front door of the building had a slight squeak that echoed down the street, and the wooden stairs just inside the second door creaked far too loudly under all their weight.

They had no choice but to keep moving.

The second floor landing was lit with a single, faint bulb hanging from a cord. The stairs going up to the third floor seemed to disappear into blackness.

There were two wooden doors, Jessica’s on the right with the number 202 in brass.

As quietly as he could, Dix unlocked the door with her key and then, indicating that Mr. Data and Bev should stand back, he swung the door open, staying out of the line of fire from anyone who might be inside.

Silence and darkness greeted them.

And perfume. A wave of it covered them, flowing out of the apartment like water released from a dam.

Dix held his breath and remained still for a five count.

Nothing.

Mr. Data shook his head meaning that he could hear nothing inside.

Dix nodded, then indicated he would go in first.

Slowly, staying low, Dix eased through the door into the thick smell and felt for a switch on the wall. It was where it should be and the lights blinded him for a moment as he flipped them on with a sharp click.
