The Fifth Horseman
“TO NOON “Fox Base has cut the circuit.”
An interminable clutter of New York traffic loomed up before Angelo Rocchia’s four-year-old Chevrolet, blocking its route to the exit ramp.
Beside Rocchia, Jack Rand gave his watch an anxious glance. “Maybe we ought to check in.”
“Check in? What for, for Christ’s sake? To tell them we’re stuck on the Brooklyn Bridge?” This kid’s really got a bug up his ass, Angelo thought.
He plucked a peanut from the bag tucked into the pocket of his suit... jacket.
“Here,” he said, “relax. Enjoy the sights. The good part’s coming up. The asshole of Brooklyn.”
Slowly, painfully, he funneled the car off the bridge ramp, sped along the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway and then the Gowanus Expressway, until he turned toward Second Avenue, Brooklyn, and his destination. The young agent gawked at the sight spreading along their route: a line of three-and four-story tenements, every other one of them, almost, a gutted shell.MoreLess
