He's trying to see us, but he can't see past the lights. The big one went down the hall. I don't see the brother.' Talley keyed the portable P.A. 'We are not breaching the house, Dennis. We need to talk. Me and you. Face-to-face. I'm coming out to the pool.' Martin and Hicks hustled toward him through the shadows. Martin wasn't happy. 'What face-to-face? We didn't discuss that.' 'I'm going out.' Talley dropped the P.A. and heaved himself over the wall before she could say anything more. He wanted to draw Rooney's attention away from the front of the house even if it meant offering himself up to do it. Martin's voice followed him over the wall.
