Monica Reyes took a deep breath as she leaned against the
office wall, dreading what waited on the other side. "I know you're over
there, FBI," came a voice from around the corner. A line of blood ran down
her cheek. Her gun was gripped tightly in her hands. This was her last
chance.
Smoothly, she turned from around the corner and saw before her
a middle-aged man. In his arms he cradled a shotgun. The only way she could
react was to pull the trigger on her gun, but she didn't have enough time.
Roughly, he brought the stock of the shotgun to her gut, bringing her down.
A woman behind him screamed. Everything was a blur to her as she felt
herself fall heavily to the ground.
