What happens during the initial meeting in the bar?
I move through the seedy, smoke-filled bar toward a well-dressed man at a booth. He's got a thick head of mussy brown hair, a receding chin, and a punched, flat nose. Percy? I ask. I've talked to him via text and on the phone, never in person. His paranoid eyes fix on me.
What time is it?
I almost roll my eyes at the cloak and dagger shit, but I say, Time is a construct that can be manipulated by powerful people. He nods somberly, looking around.
Ear alone?
I thought you were bringing a team, like I asked. Relax, they're outside, monitoring everything. I point to my ear, indicating the earpiece he can't see. Seeing a book of matches with the bar's name on it, I swipe them up. You never know when matches might come in handy.
So what do you need before you can protect me? Haven't I already given you enough?
Percy, you've only told me what a handful of low-level analysts already know. If you want our protection, you gotta give me something to prove your worth. Percy shakes his head, picking up his glass containing only melted ice. I notice his hands look different. One is thicker than the other, with shorter fingers. He puts the glass back without drinking.
"'What guarantee do I have you'll follow through?'
I shrug. "'None, I guess. But you're the one who asked me, remember? I didn't ask you to spill the beans on your employer.' "'I can't do it anymore, man. They treat me like a slave.
What is the significance of the tattoo on Percy's neck?
It's unbearable.' As he speaks, I see he has a tattoo of stitches around his neck, like he's a Frankenstein wannabe. I'm about to answer when Garza's voice comes over my earpiece. Be advised, two men heading into the bar now. Can't see their faces because of hats. Something off about them. Copy, I whisper.
What was that? What's happening? Relax, everything's fine.
The door to the establishment opens and in walk two men wearing tan trench coats and sporting baseball caps with the bills pulled low. I glance at them as they scan the bar. For the first time since I started talking with Percy, I know he's important. If he wasn't, they wouldn't have sent these guys. Don't look, I say. Here's what we're going to do. When I tell you to, you're going to move toward the back door. You know where it is, right? Oh God, they're here, aren't they? They've come to get me. Stay calm and you'll be fine. From the corner of my eye, I can tell we've been spotted. I whisper, reaching out to grab Percy's glass as I slide out of the booth. Upending the glass with one hand, I shove Percy ahead of me toward the back hallway with the other.
Take a left out of the alley. My team will meet you there. I say as we reach the door. I can hear running footsteps behind us. I shove him into the alley and spin around. The two identical men surge forward without a word.
How does the protagonist react to the arrival of the two men?
I swipe the top of the glass against the wall, breaking it to produce a sharp weapon. I have a sidearm, as I'm sure these guys do too, but we're not there yet. They weighed in, perfectly synchronous. Luckily, the hallway is narrow, preventing them from flanking me. I dodge a punch, grab hold of the arm, shove the sharp glass into it next to the elbow, and drag it down. Blood spews. It all takes me too long. I shrug my shoulder to block a hit to the face from the other guy. His fist careens off and still strikes my cheek hard enough to see the headache in my skull. The first guy hasn't registered the gash down his forearm. As I block and dodge punches and kicks from both men, he slings blood all over me.
Finally, I see my opening. I kick the inside of the first guy's knee when he's setting up for another punch. The joint crunches as it breaks. As the second guy tries to kick me in the chest, I block the blow with an elbow and slam the broken glass into his face, sinking shards into one eye. I spin around, run into the alley, and jump into the waiting SUV. Welch is behind the wheel, Garza's in front, and Percy's in back with me. Weissman clones! I gasp as Welch slams the gas pedal. Percy gasps. They sent Weissman clones after me? Well, I'm guessing it's going to get worse before it gets better.
