All of a Sudden - chapter 3A Story by Gomer LePoetAll of a Sudden chapter 3 A large white limosine, smoking rubber, screached to a halt. Rapid rifle and pistol fire was exiting thru the open windows of the limo, and people all along the street, including myself were ducking behind lamp posts, mail boxes, down alley ways. I didn't know if the mysterious blond lady and her companion had been able to avoid the flying bullets or not. The Limo screeched it's tires again, and sped away down the street. I raced over and into the building to see shattered glass, but no one was in sight. I glanced quickly at the elevator as I heard the ding and the doors closing. The elevator had started it's ascent by the time I arrived. I watched the LED numbers rise and then finally stop at the 13th floor. I pushed the up button and the elevator began to descend. It had made no other stops going up and appeared it would not stop on it's return trip until it arrived at the ground floor. The bell rang and the door slid open, when all of a sudden... The cops were now entering the building with they're guns drawn, and they were looking right at me. Out of shear terror, I raised my hands as they approached. They asked me of course who i was, and what I was doing there. They wanted to know what I knew. For some strange reason, I told them I knew nothing, I was just passing by, heard the shots and ducked in here. While 2 of the cops were questioning me, another had gone to the open and dancing elevator door. He yelled for his buddies, I followed them. There lying on the elavator floor was the strange man I had seen with the mysterious blond. Blood was coming out of his neck. He was dead alright, with this look of sheer terror on his wrinkled face. I did not know if he had been shot by the people in the white limo, or, crap, I wondered if the blond had anything to do with it. And I knew she had gotten off the elavator on the13th floor . At least I thought she did. The cops were looking at me again suspiciously, when out of the corner of my eye all of a sudden ... There she was, sneaking out a side door. How in the hell did she do that? I thought one of the cops was going to see her, and again I don't know why, but I stood in front of him, blocking his view and began asking him questions. I was already under some suspicion, and my interruption was not very well accepted. He told me to go sit down in one of the chairs in the reception area, and he would be with me shortly. He had questions he wanted to ask me. Don't leave he said, I will be there in a minute as soon as my seargent shows up. So I found myself a stuffed chair and sat down, running the whole scene through my head again. When all of a sudden ... Gomer LePoet... © 2010 Gomer LePoet |
