This sucked. No one knew where he was. Except maybe the Watchers, and they sure as hell weren't going to help him. And even if the police or someone were here what good would that do? It wasn't like you could just shoot him or something. Shooting him would only piss him off. No, the only way to kill him was to hack the guy's head off. Now how many people besides Immortals carried the equipment required for that? Not too damn many...

Jim watched the man grab his Guide and called Simon for back-up while he followed on foot. He stopped at the entrance to an old crumbly building where the suspect had gone. Drawing out his gun, he cautiously entered...

Summs drew his sword and was just about to give the killing blow to his unconscious victim when a pain seared through his side. He glanced down at the blood at his shirt, then behind him to the man who had shot him.

"You will regret doing that," he said as he once again positioned himself for the blow. Another shot rang out and he dropped to the ground. Then, one after another more shots were fired. One of the stray bullets hit a support beam and the roof started to falter. Quickly Jim gathered up Blair and hurried outside. Moments later the roof collapsed behind them...

"There's nothing to worry about. No one could have survived that Chief," Jim said.
Blair knew all to well that that wasn't true. Summs would be back, and this time he would be after both of them...

Meanwhile, a dark figure hurried out of the rubble. Watching the scene from a distance he glared. No one embarrassed Kyle Summs and got away with it.

The End.

Will Kyle Summs return? Will Blair tell Jim about the Watchers? Will Blair be called before the Council? Find out all this and more in the sequel 'Interference'--coming to a computer screen near you--but only if I get feedback....
