The elevator doors opened, and both Angel and Vicki recognized the face within, The Ferret.  It was more ominous than the mug shot they had studied on Brandy’s computer screen.  The man barely glanced at the women and stepped forward to exit the lift.  But his forward motion ceased when each of the now highly agitated women grabbed one of his arms and forced him back inside. 

           

“What the …” the burly man shouted as he squirmed.

 

Vicki hit the “Basement Level” button and the doors closed.  In an instant, she held a handgun to The Ferret’s temple.
