Costa had been taking a smoke when the message came in from the dispatch officer. God damnit! he thought as he put out his cigarette. He'd just lit up. Things were damned expensive, too.
Lih was off, of course, heading down to the call. All duty, that one. Good cop, though maybe a bit stiff. He'd learn to relax.The guy knew better too. Never go without backup. Well, he was coming.
He started hoofing it down to the old club. Just as he got close, her heard a gun shot. All out sprint closed the distance. He drew his weapon, fingered off the safety, and carefully peeked his head around the corner.
Clear. He headed in, quiet like, making sure there were no surprises.
He turned a corner and stopped. Lih was there, gun drawn, trying to hold a bead on two men. They were spreading out to either side of him. Their faces were covered in blood, as were their clothes.
"Freeze!"
He said, pointing to one of the men. He radioed in. "Shots fired. Need backup."
He saw the bodies. They were dead. Well, at least one of them was. "We need a bus too."
The two men eyed him and Lih. In the dark he could see the yellow eyes. Even standing still, they seemed ready to explode. What the hell were they? One of them started to walk closer to him. It seemed to flow, movements graceful like a cat.
"I said freeze! You ok, Lih?"
