The Littlest Client #125

We walked up four flights of stairs and I had a feeling that Nelson was about to pull something. I wondered if Dolan was even here.

I reached under my arm and pulled my pistol as we left the stairwell and walked onto the fourth floor. Nelson went to the end of the hall and turned toward me. I showed him the pistol.

He knocked three times on the door. It seemed like a signal. I sprinted to the end of the hall and kicked the door open.

Dolan was trying yet again to get away via the fire escape...
