Clint pushed Donnelly along the street, the young man still slightly dazed.

“I’ve—I’ve never been shot at before,” he confessed.

“You never get used to it,” Clint told him.

“That poor girl.”

“That’s not your fault.”

After leaving the café, Clint had run back across the street and gone through the pockets of the dead men. There was nothing there to indicate who might have sent them after Donnelly.

“Where—where are we going?” Donnelly asked.

“The hospital,” Clint said.

“Why?”

“We’ve got to get Pi—Jones out of there before somebody tries to kill him.”

“But . . . why—wha—”

“We can’t think about that now,” Clint said. “We just have to get you and Jones somewhere safe, so we can think.”

“I can go back to Headquarters—”

“Not a good idea, son,” Clint said. “If they tried to kill you in public like this, what do you think would stop them from killing you inside that building?”

“B-But . . . not all of them are—are crooked.”

“The problem is,” Clint said, “we don’t know which is which. Until we can figure that out, you have to stay away from the police.”

“B-But . . . I am the police.”

“Maybe not so much anymore,” Clint said.
