The Scalpel Pointed Back
"Good luck. It's gone. The police are hunting you down. There is no escape."
I hurled the scalpel, burying it in his shoulder. He collapsed, clutching the wound, but his eyes burned with defiance.
I stalked over and ripped the blade out. "I never plan to leave alive. I've got plenty of time to make you talk. You're loaded and famous. Why stoop to this?"
By the second stab, Robert broke, revealing the other kidney's fate.
Sirens wailed outside, and flashlights pierced the windows, blinding me. Several police officers burst in. "Freeze! Hands on your head!"
I drove the scalpel into Robert's heart, my rage drowning out his pathetic excuse.
