“Quién es?” Zamora’s man stepped away from the door and into the garden. Quinn heard the unmistakable rattle of a pistol sliding out of a holster. A flashlight flicked on and the beam began to play back and forth among the trees. It was only a matter of seconds before he would see something he didn’t like and call for help.

Quinn pulled a cotton sock from the pocket of his running shorts. It was small, unobtrusive, and easy to carry. Stooping quickly, he scooped up a handful of stones before moving through the shadows. Better than a fist and easy to dump, a sock full of rocks made an excellent and relatively silent weapon.

Zamora’s man moved forward, holding his light in one hand and the pistol in the other. The cigarette hung loosely from his lips and he padded through the darkness muttering to himself as if he didn’t really expect to find anything. The sock full of rocks hit his temple like a lead sap.

Quinn caught him as he fell, lowering him softly to the grass.

“You again?” a female voice said from the shadows. Alexandra Kanatova stepped out, red hair framing her scowling face. “Why do you follow me?”

Quinn pointed at the guy on the ground. “I’m pretty sure he was about to ruin your evening. Who’s the guy with the beard?”

“A Chechen pig.”

“I’d like to ask him some questions,” Quinn whispered.

“Too late for that.” Kanatova’s eyes flicked between the back door of the house and the wall. “He is dead. Someone will come to check soon. We should go.”

Quinn shot a glance at the door. It wouldn’t be long before someone missed the unconscious security man. With any luck they’d chalk it up to an intruder who’d been scared away by the confrontation—so long as they didn’t find a dead Chechen in their garden.

“Do you ever take anyone alive?”

“Rarely,” she said.
