Sam Fisher- Shooting Admiral

  "STOP right there, Admiral." Fisher called.

  The man whipped his head around. His eyes went wide.

  "Not even a twitch, or you're dead where you stand."

  The main straightened up and turned to face him.

  Fisher said, "Step away from the--"

  The man spun toward the laptop.

  Fisher fired once. The bullet went where he wanted it, in this case squarely into the man's right hip. The impact spun him like a top. As he fell, his outstretch arm caught the laptop, sending it crashing to the deck. Groaning, the man rolled onto his side and reached for the laptop.

  Then Fisher saw it. Jutting from the side of the laptop was a wireless network card. He was linked to something, controlling something.

  "Don't move!" Fisher ordered.

  The man's hand stretched toward the keyboard.

  Fisher fired. As with his first round, this one struck true, drilling into the the man's right shoulder blade. He groaned and slumped forward, still.

  Except for his right hand.

  The man's finger gave a spasmodic jerk and struck the ENTER key.
