Book Cover & Preview Text
For the first time, today he wasn’t going hunting with the Remington. He crossed the parking lot and entered the bank. He was familiar with the place, doing business there regularly. He headed for Pete Cohen’s office. The cashiers didn’t notice him or if they did, they didn’t notice the gun.
George didn’t answer. He had no words left. He pushed the door of Cohen’s office. There was a woman sitting there but George didn’t ever look at her. He raised the gun. “I want my money.”
Pete’s face turned white instantly. “George… don’t…don’t do anything crazy.”
George kept the gun lined up to Pete’s chest. “I want my money.”
“Okay, okay. Give me a minute. Maybe we can talk about this.”
