47- Head Explosion

  At last 47 caught up to Cromwell. He held steady on his prey’s left side as both buses sped neck and neck. The militant turned to grimace at his pursuer through his window, intent on making it to the stage first. 47 grabbed the manual handle and opened his door. Then, with his left hand on the steering wheel and a Silverballer in his right, the assassin carefully aimed the gun and squeezed the trigger. The bullet went through the open door and shattered the driver’s window of the other bus. Cromwell’s head exploded as the slug penetrated the man’s skull and exited the other side.

  The militant’s bus swerved wildly out of control and veered to the mall’s western edge. Police unloaded a firestorm of ammunition at it, not realizing the driver was already dead. The bus made a final careen, tipped over thirty degrees, and plowed into a food vendor’s stand. The vehicle crashed onto its side and slid another twenty feet before it came to a screeching, sickening halt.
