Today’s
excerpt is from Dead Silent Calm, Book #7 of the nine-book Janitors Series. Billy and Jessica are in serious trouble, but
don’t know the extent just yet. Enjoy
and have a great day.
m.j.
Down in the
basement, Billy and Jessica finished checking the remainder of the rooms on
that floor, then donned their contamination suits before entering what appeared
to be the main laboratory of the building.
Once through the main door, they passed through a decontamination
chamber before entering the lab itself.
Just as they
were starting to look around the lab, a man jumped up on the far side of the
room…with his pants around his ankles.
He reached for the gun he had placed on a counter when he took off his
holster before commencing the romantic interlude he had been engaged in with
one of the lab assistants.
He was the other
of two nighttime roving guards employed at the Biao facility. The first guard, now deceased (thanks to
Hector and Jessica), had responsibility for the outside of the facility, this
one the inside. The woman with him was
married and the only opportunity the two of them had for their secret romance
was during late night hours when the facility was basically shut down for the
night.
Both Billy and
Jessica had placed their shoulder holsters containing their silenced Walthers
on the outside of their contamination suits.
As the guard reached for his gun, both Billy and Jessica saw him and
what he was reaching for. They both
unholstered their guns and fired as his gun was coming up. Billy shot him in the forehead, Jessica right
between his eyes.
The woman jumped
up screaming and was also shot by both Jessica and Billy. She slumped to the floor, dead by the time
she reached it. Her companion had not
died without getting off a shot however.
While errant, in that it missed both Jessica and Billy, it had not
failed totally to cause damage. The
bullet had smashed into a rack of test tubs, shattering them and sending a
spray of glass flying, as well as the contents of the broken tubes.
Billy noticed
that both contamination suits had been pierced.
“Jess, we better get the hell outta here. To the decontamination chamber…now!”
Jim and the
other Janitors heard the shot fired by the guard and Billy’s words. As Billy and Jessica rushed toward the
decontamination chamber, Jim asked, “What’s up, Billy?”
“Damn guy and
gal were down here behind one of the lab tables, guess they were making
out. We didn’t see him until he jumped
up and went for his gun. Guess he was a
guard of some kind. Couldn’t tell much
about her, except she was naked. Both
now dead. As I speak, Jess and I are in
the decontamination chamber, getting washed off. Our suits were torn by flying glass. Damn guy hit some of the test tubs where we
were standing and sent glass flying everywhere.
Not to mention some of Biao’s concoctions.”
Jim sighed. “Okay, when you’re through with the
decontamination process, get the hell outta there.”
“Will do.”
After their
contamination suits were well washed, Billy and Jessica took them off, and went
through the process again with their clothing, which was then taken off and
they showered in the fine decontamination spray.
As they did,
totally naked, Billy looked over Jessica’s body and grinned. “Not bad, lady.”
Jessica
chuckled. “I was just thinking the same
thing about you. If it wasn’t for Drew,
I’d make a naughty suggestion.”
“And, if not for
Drew, I’d second the motion. Damn, I got
an itch…and I don’t mean to make it with you, but that too.”
“Yeah. I got both itches too.”
Billy started
looking at Jessica for reasons other than ogling and noticed a rash starting to
spread over her body…blotches in several places. Then he looked at himself and noticed the
same thing. He noticed Jessica doing the
same thing. “Wonder what the hell this
rash on both of us is?”
“Me too. Actually, I’m starting to feel…I don’t
know…just not quite right.”
“Me too,
Jess. Not really sick, but something.”
