The second gunshot was as loud as the first, reverberating in the tiny hotel room. Abdul watched in horror as his security guard who had opened the door crumple down on the floor. Two small holes blot red on his beige uniform. The body lay motionless. Dead. Abdul couldn’t see the assailant. He was in one corner of the hotel room and the half-open door blocked his view of the killer outside the door who had shot his guard. This also meant that the assailant hadn’t seen him. Yet. He only had a second before he too would be gunned down. Abdul’s eyes darted around the room searching for an escape route. The window. It was open. It was the only way. But he hesitated. “He should be in here.” He heard shouts beyond the door. Abdul glanced back. The assailant walked past the door. Abdul could see him now. A smoking 9mm was in his hand, the face masked by a black cloth. Only the eyes showed. Dark. Furious. Deadly. The killer’s gaze burned with such intensity, Abdul felt his soul shiver. “There.” More men poured into the room. All masked. All of them carried weapons. Abdul had seen enough. His decision was made. He turned and jumped through the open window. He fell through fifteen feet and landed on the snow-covered ground. His room was on the first floor of the hotel and the snow cushioned the impact of his fall. He was alive, but he wasn’t safe. Abdul scrambled to his feet and ran.
