He leveled the rifle and got off two quick shots, then jumped back an instant before a storm of lead smashed into the store front. He ran back down the aisle to snatch two bright new tin cups off a shelf and a new broom from a stack. He threaded the cup handles over the broomstick and crimped them tight.
