He stepped through the front door of the rooming house and saw the cops pause in their conversation and look his way. After a second, they went back to talking. He knew he looked a bit odd in a way that would draw attention, but he no longer looked like the man the cops had been told to keep an eye on, so they had no reason to speak to him or attempt to detain him.

He moved down the steps slowly, the way a fat man would. It would have been difficult for him to move any other way thanks to the weight of the money. He didn’t dare risk using his van in case the cops were aware that it was his, so, he waddled down the sidewalk to where he could get on a bus or flag down a cab. The heavy backpack swung at his side and the stock of the shotgun kept banging against his right knee.

He was two blocks away and crossing the street when he saw him. It was Agent Bentley. He and his humorless female partner were parked at a traffic light. If Bentley was headed toward the rooming house, that meant that he was coming to get a sample of his DNA.

Too late, asshole.

Bentley looked his way as the light changed and said something to his partner. Ballou kept his head down and continued to waddle along. The Fed’s car began moving and Ballou relaxed. By the time Bentley entered the building and found Dinkle’s corpse he should be out of sight. He’d find a place, perhaps an abandoned building, to lie low for a while, then get away for good once the heat died down.

That plan went to hell when he looked over his shoulder and saw that Bentley had made a U-turn and was headed back towards him while speeding. By the time the Fed screeched his vehicle to a stop at the curb, Ballou had freed the sawed-off shotgun from the backpack.

Ballou was taking aim at Bentley through the driver’s side window when Bentley’s partner, Agent Fennelly, popped out of the car on the passenger side. She was standing on the bottom section of the door frame in order to fire over the roof of the car. The woman shot at him twice. Her angle was bad, and her aim was low, and the slugs struck the backpack, which was sitting on the ground. One of the slugs burst a band on a package of hundred-dollar bills and the money was lifted into the air by the breeze.

Ballou shot her twice. Only two pellets from the first blast struck her, while the second shotgun round just about severed her right arm and shredded a breast. Fennelly released a piercing scream and fell backwards into the street. With her threat ended, Ballou took aim at Bentley and found that the agent was no longer seated behind the wheel. Bentley had dived out of the open passenger door. He reappeared when he peeked over the hood at the front of the car.
