johnny, aka 23685-j, turned the collar of his coat up.
he pulled his hat down over his eyes.
it was getting cold.
and it was already dark.
and there was no sign of what he was waiting for.
it started to rain.
the big guy had told him, stay where you can be seen. no ducking into doorways. understand?
i understand.
do exactly what i tell you. exactly. no deviation.
i get it.
stay out where you can be seen.
who was johnny to argue with the big guy - and on his first solo assignment?
it started to rain harder.
and then there was an explosion of sound that almost knocked him over.
a blast of light blinded him.
stay where you are! stay where you are! don’t move!
gorilla hands in metal gloves grabbed his arms.
something was wrapped around his head and everything went black.
