Quick Fixes: Tales Of Repairman Jack - Plot & Excerpts
As he pulled it open, a voice screamed from within. “Stay back! I got your buddy and the owner in here! Stay back or I’ll kill ‘em both!” Gerry scuttled back down the steps. “We got a hostage situation here, Fred.” “He’s got the kid!” Fred said. “God damn! Call the hostage team. Now!” As Gerry ran off, an emergency rig howled down the street and screeched to a halt. Jack explained to the EMTs what had happened and why he had his thumb sunk an inch into the wounded man’s neck. One of the techs pulled on a rubber glove and substituted his finger for Jack’s. He held it there as the wounded cop was lifted onto a stretcher. Jack watched for a second, then began to edge backward, preparing to slide between two parked cars. “No, you don’t!” Fred the cop said, jerking his pistol up level with Jack’s head. “You ain’t goin’ nowhere! Hands on the car and spread ‘em!” Desperation gnawed on Jack’s spine as his eyes hunted for an escape route. The street crawled with uniforms, and they all seemed to be watching him.
