along the doomsday course. It splattered in just above the mouth and sent the guy sprawling onto the ground, the Thompson still cradled in his arms. The Executioner waited cautiously for some sign of a reaction from the hardsite. Receiving none, he stepped out of the vegetative cover and strolled unhurriedly to the jeep. The engine was idling in neutral. Bolan went first to the man on the ground and dragged him around to the blind side. There was no recognizing that face. Most of it was missing. He was wearing a new sports shirt with a sale tag still attached and clean white denim slacks. Bolan removed the clothing and put it on over his skinsuit, and the fit was good enough for the moment. Next he pulled the driver out and rolled him to the ground beside the other man. The Parabellum bone-crusher from the Beretta had penetrated at the base of the skull and angled up for an exit through a slightly enlarged eye socket There was not much blood up front, and the departing trajectory of the bullet had cleared the jeep's windshield.

A guy in wet, charcoal-smudged clothing stood on the porch. He gave Bolan a sour look and said, "Ay man." The guy was no freelancer. He was a Mafia hard-man and clearly in a nasty mood. "Ay," Bolan growled back. "Vince in there?" "He's busy," the guy said, moving into a tense confrontation at the doorway. Bolan had no time for games, and he was feeling a bit nasty himself.
