SINFUL SALVATION
A man who loved his captive was a vulnerable man.
The sniper adjusted his scope, zooming in on the rooftop terrace. He saw the tall, imposing figure of Drake, sitting on a bench, holding a smaller, softer figure wrapped in a blanket. He saw Drake lean down and kiss the top of the smaller figure’s head.
The sniper smiled. A cold, ugly slash on a ruined face.
I’ll take the pregnant freak first, he thought, his finger hovering over the trigger. Then, when he comes running to save him, I’ll put a bullet in Drake’s black heart.
