he turned back to his view from under the tarp and saw six men dressed in black, coming up the hill toward him with a coffin on their shoulders. The men were uniformly big with billowing coat jackets, which could have concealed MX missiles. Even from a distance, Sammy could see the hardness in their eyes and the tautness in their musculature. Instinctively, he reached to check his weapons. I am only one, but I am one, he repeated to himself. We have enough fuel for about another half hour, and then we turn into a stone. You better hope we come up with something Soon. Boone spoke to Tina and Calico over the helicopter intercom system. The bird was rising over the trees on the south border Griffith Park Vista Forest Lawn, laid out in front of them. Sammy unlocked. They have to be down there somewhere, Teen insisted. We tried to contact Sami at home and at work. When we landed in Long Beach, it was nowhere to be found. Boone shook his head. You could have been anywhere doing anything, get a grip, Calico, said The pilot. He's out there ready to take on lock the and you know it, you could feel it in your bones like the rest of us can. Penis still had the map spread out in her lap. Perfect Park is the closest thing to a forest we have in Los Angeles, but we've checked out all the likely spots and the unlikely once, said Boone. Tina ignored him. Counters was almost delirious. When he told me about Sammy in the forest. He had to be referring to force line. It fits so well, and it's the only place we haven't checked that to. Calico suddenly pointed there. Where, Tina asked. Excited the six guys with coffin on their shoulders for having sink, Boone said. It's a cemetery. Look, I've worked off duty security. There are a couple of years ago when I was still on the job, Calico told him. We were covering a celebrity's funeral, and the family didn't want it. The tabloid vultures propping up the corpse for one last shot. They wanted to hold the funeral. After hours, the mortuary stood firm, they said if they did it for one person, they would have to do it for everyone who wanted privacy. So Boone demanded. Calico pointed to his watch, which showed 5 45 So the place close up? Five. I still don't know if I buy it. Well, will you buy a line of our men moving through the trees? Tina Gun slung her rifle and indicated the ridge above Memorial Park as she did one of the men she was indicating step through a trip wire and was blown sky high. Sammi heard the helicopter just seconds before he heard the first trip wire explosion. He sworn dropped the flap of the tarpaulin. Damn! Damn, Damn, Damn, he said. Under his breath. He figured Lockney would put men along the Griffith Park rich to either flush him out or stop him from escaping. That's why he risked moving down from there. But he hadn't figured on the bad guys having air support. The rich between Forest Lawn and Griffith Park was fairly inaccessible to casual hikers or picnickers, so Sammy had felt safe stringing explosives in the area for locked knees. Men, he'd said enough traps and pitfalls up there to keep a small squad of men busy if they tried to come at him from the rear, which they had obviously done. The helicopter was another story. He'd have to bide his time and see if he could get a good enough shot to bring it down. The situation was beginning to look more and more like Robin Hood's Last Who Rock. Oh well, he'd always figured this was a suicide mission, and he didnt much give a damn as long as he took lock. Need a **** with him? Peeking out again at the six men with the coffin, though, gave Sami a big surprise. They had dropped the coffin, and we're reaching under their coats to swing out shotguns and Uzis on leather slings. Sammy couldn't understand what was prompting this reaction. He knew they couldn't have pinpointed his position yet. Perhaps they had been spooked by the explosion from the ridge as the thought passed through his mind here to additional explosions from the ridge and then watched as the helicopter swooped low into his view and smashed. It skids into two of the pallbearers to men cartwheel through the air and then sprawled to the ground where they lay. Still, Sammy was stunned. What was going on and where was Lockney? He was even more shocked when he watched teen and calico bailout of the copter rolling as they hit the ground eight feet below them, coming to their feet again and tearing into the remaining pallbearers. He recognized both of them calico from the pictures on Tina's desk, but couldn't believe his eyes as the copter banked away. There was this rapid fire of a newsy, and smoke erupted from the whirly birds engine Sammy look to his left, where the shots had originated and saw another of locked knees, men firing from a second grave hole. This was something he could deal with, and he brought his M 16 to bear on the attacker. The man must have been standing on something in the grave whole because his head and shoulders were visible above the ground level. Sammy's bullets cut him off at the neck and blew his body back into the grave.
