“Two muscular men squeezed into the narrow box. Cindy’s arm, wrapped around Hannibal’s right arm, had short-circuited his response to the first punch and his other fist didn’t travel far enough to do much damage. He took a couple more solid body blows and a right cross slammed his head back into the wall. Then each of his attackers took one of his arms and half walked half dragged Hannibal’s dazed form out of the elevator. He was just conscious enough to curse himself for letting his guard down.... Both attackers, young black men, wore pea coats and jeans and thick work boots. Their body odor fought through their coats to assault Hannibal’s nose. He could hear the music of the club muffled by a wall and becoming more and more distant. Both men had strong grips and when Hannibal struggled to free his arms it earned him a sharp shot to the ribs. They travelled down a narrow hall and out into the cool evening air. When his eyes began to focus Hannibal saw Cindy close behind him. A third man followed too close to her, and Hannibal saw the glint of a stainless steel revolver in his hand.MoreLessRead More Read Less
