During late evening at Judge Elyse Moravent’s home in “Criminal Opera (coming soon):”
“As David tried to slip back into slumber, holding Elyse closely, he began to dream of looking for his home in a decrepit commercial neighborhood of an unfamiliar foreign city. Then, a clank of the iron gate to 39th Street made him jerk upright. Elyse mumbled in her sleep: “What’s wrong, Bernie?”
Then he heard Larry (the Marshal guarding Judge Moravent) say, under the stoop, “Forget something, Phil? Then he yelled, “Get me some help!” before he was silenced by what sounded like a silenced pistol.
David Garvey leaped out of the bed and hurried to the closet. He jerked on his pants and jacked a round into the chamber of his Kimber. He crept out into the carpeted hall and carefully pulled the bedroom door shut behind him. David could hear heavy footsteps pounding up one then two flights of stairs from below. Although it was not yet morning, dim lights from 39th Street revealed a tall man in a hoody running toward the third floor. His head was just coming above the floor where David was standing, Kimber in firing position”
