A Shot In The Night (John Harper Series Book 2) - Plot & Excerpts
After the firing had stopped and we had waited a considerable amount of time, essentially cowering behind the perforated car, I went over to where I suspected the shooter had been. I approached timidly with the pistol still raised, aware that I was out in the open and that there was only the one bullet left at my disposal. Luckily I would not need to use it again as the shooter had left. I doubted he would have wanted to leave any evidence of his location but during the firefight it would have been too dangerous to remove all of his shell casings, especially since I seemed to be rather accurate in my assessment of where he had been shooting from. Walking into the tree line with a torch in my left hand and the pistol in my right, I saw the damage my shots had made. Wood had splintered off a number of trees bracketing a flattened piece of grass. Dotted around the grass, three cartridges reflected the light from my torch back at me. I knelt gently down next to them, the pistol still raised, slowly sweeping around and trying to see into the woodland, wondering where the rifleman had gone.
