“You sound like Switzerland during World War II. Either way, you win.” “How do you figure, Tugg?” “If Germany loses complain about the officiating to your German girl, she’ll see that you’re loyal to her team, be far more forgiving, perhaps forget the four or five times she caught you messing around on her.” “Good point, but she only caught me twice.” “You mean the two times she mentioned it to you.” Delano remembers. “Oh, yeah, right.” “On the other hand, Delano -- if Brazil loses, just take the Brazilian lady dancing, she’ll be having so much fun she won’t care who won the match.” “Tugg, you’re a genius -- I’m sure if you stayed in the Navy you’d be an Admiral by now.” Robbie takes that as an underhanded compliment. “I am still in the Navy, …show more content…
Robbie then pops open the beer and kicks back. Delano then pulled a gun from his ankle holster and places it on the table top. -- “Oh, by the way, Falcon, Skip, and Harley might drop by.” ONE HOUR LATER, five guns are on the coffee table. Robbie, Delano sat with several other guys from the Agency. A couple of dozen empty beer bottles, with devoured barbecue rib bones on a platter scattered on the coffee table – also leftover potato salad, chips, and salsa. The soccer match was winding down. Robbie checked his watch, hoping it would end sooner than later. Robbie asked bored. “Is this match going to end this week?” “We’re headed for overtime, baby!” Delano proclaims, “Put your seatbelt on!” The other agents in the room are Ricardo Diaz, Hispanic, a fifteen-year veteran of the agency that goes by the name of Falcon, Edward Jordan, a good-size African American that goes by the name Harley and Skip Collins, an older agent that mentored the younger agents in the …show more content…
“-- So, word has it you guys are headed to Costa Rica.” “Yeah, going to be on a three-million-dollar Sportfishing boat,” Delano bragged, “Gorgeous women, sun, beach, Caribbean ocean -- what could be better? Falcon answered quickly. “Not being re-deployed to Poland at a moment’s notice.” They all laugh. Delano grinned and said, “Yeah -- nothing lasts forever in this game.” Skip remembered an incident concerning a beautiful lady. “Speaking of gorgeous women -- I once had a beauty queen put a five-inch blade in my back one night. She worked for the government of a small banana republic. Suspected I was CIA -- tried to kill me.” Falcon asked, knowing the answer, “What did you do to her?” Skip recalled proudly, “I pulled the knife out of my back, smiled at her and in perfect Spanish replied, “-- La proxima vet, que me apunales en la espalda, hazlo cu, o este dormida. De es manera no recibira un disport.” Next time you stab me in the back, do it when I’m asleep. That way you won’t get shot.” Everybody laughs. Harley asked. “Did you shoot her?” “Skip answered honestly, “Damn straight I did -- in the leg though -- I’m still a gentleman.” Falcon replied, “You know -- I once had a woman try to run over me in a
At the front of the room were three people. The Ada County Sheriff, a detective, and an FBI agent. After that the FBI agent and detective explained what was going on. Several years earlier a religious group had developed a

He lay down on the bed in the dark. His lifted his gun and inspected it carefully. Interesting thing. He wondered how many lives guns had saved, or ruined.
“You will be” Ian pulled out a pair of scissors he hid in his pocket, and stabbed it into Cherlotte’s
“I plead neither, I say you are unfit to lead the Cohorts. I say you are weak and that in your weakness, you endangered the Cohorts. I say you haven't the stomach to do what must be done. I say that you have your own agenda that you pursue to the detriment of the Cohorts. I say it is time for a new leader!”
He realized the Det. Nunally and Mr. Crawford had the same type of gun. He pieced together a very important piece that before the crime had happened, Mr. Crawford had in fact switch his gun with Det. Nunally’s at the hotel, where the affair was taking place in private or so they thought. Mr. Crawford would then return to his own home and await for the arrival of his wife, where he would shoot her in the head, and wait for the police to arrive after he had already reloaded the gun. After Det. Nunally arrived at the scene of the crime, Mr. Crawford allowed for Det. Nunally to enter the house, and after a few exchanged words, they would both lay their weapons down to start negotiations. After a few moments inside the residence Det. Nunally realizes that he is in fact in the house of his lover. He rushes over to try and save her, this is where the tradeoff of weapons would occur. Then since Mr. Crawford had picked up his unfired weapon, this is where the assault took place, and the unused weapon would be taken into

‘do you want to come play some soccer or even watch.’ Adalbert use to love soccer. He also was very good at it but he hasn’t played in years.
“Do you think I couldn’t stand a man hitting me? Do I look that frail to you? You think it would be the first time? You had no business throwing yourself into trouble like that!”
“Hurry up, you idiot! If we're late they won't let us in till intermission, and you know Aithusa will be devastated if we miss her part!”
“Weren’t you frightened? They said he had a big knife, but you had a gun. Boy, I would have shot him and let the insurance clean my carpet,” Gail said.
Once the car doors closed she had the gun out, resting it in her lap. She counted the bullets quickly (three), and then made sure it was loaded before moving a little bit away from the car window. After a few moments she glanced over at Murphy, who seemed obviously uncomfortable. “Are you armed?” It took a bit of consideration, and then she offered him the gun, grip facing him because she was a polite woman. “Here.” He seemed not to like the situation or her, and the best way to offer some confidence was probably to offer the weapon. “After the lab fell, we spent a lot of time just… sitting in cars while the military escort cleared wherever we were going to be staying. They used to tell us to stay away from the windows, hold still, and don’t use the gun until the window is already broken.” She found a spot that was comfortable enough to just relax, and wait. She opened her mouth to offer up something else, but ended up not doing so. The man didn’t seem all that interested in hearing what she had to say so she’d keep it to herself.
