The window behind Lemmons suddenly exploded, and the detective’s face took on a look of surprise. A bright red spot appeared on the front of his shirt and began spreading, running downward from the center of his chest. Sam stared in shock as Lemmons looked down at himself, then slowly sank to the ground.

The shot had come from a side street, and Sam spun and bolted around the building. A quick glance around the corner at Lemmons told him the man was dead, so Sam pulled his own pistol and leaned back against the old brick wall. His mind was racing, trying to figure out just what had happened.

Either Lemmons hadn’t really come alone, or someone had followed him. Sam figured it was the latter, that at least one of the other cops—probably either Driscoll or Slocum—had somehow tailed him to the meeting and heard him trying to give them up.

Of course, that meant they also heard that Sam had the video. His own life was now on the line, he knew, and it wouldn’t be long before the shooter came looking for him. He glanced around the corner again but saw no one, then hurried along the side of the building to the back and ducked low as he peeked out once more. There was still no one in sight, so Sam stood again and pressed his back to the bricks.

Straight in front of him was more of the chain link fence. It was at least six feet high, but there was a barrel standing beside it. Ignoring the pain in his hip, Sam hurried over and leapt up onto the barrel, then threw himself over the top of the fence. He landed hard in somebody’s backyard and went down, but scrambled to his feet and began a limping run across it.

There was a wooden fence on the other side of the yard, but it was broken and Sam managed to climb through a hole. The yard he entered then was unfenced, but a large Rottweiler began barking at him and straining at the heavy chain that secured it to a doghouse. It couldn’t reach him, so he kept moving from one backyard to the next until he came to the street at the end of the block.
