From the book
‘Good morning, all,’ I greeted. Morag giggled and clung like a leach to Newf. ‘Morning, Bill,’ he said with an ear-to-ear grin. Walking down the stairs we met Shyla and Reggie in the lobby. For a moment we stood greeting each other, when this wiry little man suddenly appeared. ‘You East?’ he said, almost shouting. Newf pulled away from Morag and still grinning said, ‘Sure, what’s it to you?’ Instantly, the man pulled a 45 automatic out of his inner pocket, cocked it and aimed it at Newf. The next few moments resulted in total mayhem. The gun went off with a terrible bang and somehow Morag predicted the outcome and dashed in front of Newf. My reflexes took over. Instantly, I grabbed the weapon with my left and nearest hand, raising it high towards the ceiling. It went off with another deafening bang. Somehow I managed to hit the assailant with my right fist. Now finding myself holding the gun, I used it as a club and smashed the guy on the head with its butt. He went down like a ton of bricks. Turning round I saw Morag lying on the floor, her chest covered in blood.
