[QUOTE="talien, post: 4684890, member: 3285"] [b]See No Evil: Part 7a – Climax[/b] “What have we got?” asked Hammer, standing next to Archive in the crowd in front of the Merriweather Center. “There was some blue dust in the vacant store,” said Archive. “I think it was …” “What?” “From a corpse,” said Archive. “What does ‘Wer ruft mich an’ mean?” Archive looked at Hammer curiously. “It means: Who calls me? The German said that?” “No, the German was in the taxi. I heard it from within the room. I think it’s what set Colm off.” “Someone speaking German?” asked Archive. “A dead man speaking German,” added Hammer. He put one finger to his ear to turn on his comm. “Hot Pants?

Hames, Drinkwater, and Bhrunt arrived in one car and were hustled along the slim corridor of people up the steps of the Center. That’s when Hammer spotted the German. He was wearing a dark overcoat, with an odd bulge under his vest, seemingly oblivious to the raucous crowd around him. The German was intensely focused on someone on the other side of the crowd. Hammer spared a glance over his shoulder … “It’s Colm!” shouted Archive. Colm had jumped the barrier, a book in one hand, waving incoherently at his other three companions. Archive’s shout triggered something in the crowd. They burst through the security barrier, running towards the four Denial experts. Colm reached into his pocket. “Bomb!” shouted Archive, pointing at Colm. “Gun!” shouted Hammer, pointing at the German. Three cracks from Colm’s revolver caused the crowd to scatter. Everyone ducked, falling to the ground. Except the German, who kept coming. A woman was killed. Two men were injured. The mob’s charge was instantly broken. Before Archive or Hammer could react, Colm grabbed a young woman by the hair and dragged her kicking and screaming into the conference center. Chaos reigned outside. People were screaming and running. The police were desperately trying to break up the crowd and deal with the situation.
