      Chapter 1: Home Sweet Home

      The second I climb out of the taxi, the bullets start flying. Dropping my suitcase, I duck down behind the cab, reaching inside my jacket for a piece, but then remember I haven’t carried a piece in years. Hell, I haven’t done anything in years.

      The bullets keep right on coming, a half dozen of them now, snapping against the road and the sidewalk all around me and the taxi, spitting up chunks of gray and black. I’m looking around for a better place to hide when the cabbie decides he doesn’t need to get paid and he peels off, his ride kicking out black smoke and leaving me in the open.

      A couple more bullets. This time right around me. I don’t even have time to look who it is doing the shooting. I can feel the tiny shrapnel pieces of concrete darting up from the sidewalk and lancing against my cheeks.

      I duck and roll, heading for an alley between two brownstones. I forget my luggage. A few more bullets are right behind me, missing by inches, crashing into the alley’s walls.

      As I enter the cool darkness of the alley, I spin around and look out. Across the street there’s a black sedan peeling out, leaving a trail of black rubber. I can’t make out the driver, but for just a moment I spy the shooter, some guy in a black hoodie hanging out the passenger window on the other side. He’s sporting a 9mm, the bastard. He gets off one more shot, the bullet going wide, then the car is gone.

      I breath softer for the moment. Welcome back to the big city, Jackie. Not even out of prison a day and you’re already getting shot at. But who the hell would want me dead? I mean, I been locked away for five years, and as far as I know I ain’t got no enemies on the outside. At least none living, anyways.

      I’m just about to regain my nerve and stroll back to the sidewalk to retrieve my suitcase when a sports car the color of a baboon’s ass slams on the brakes and screeches to a stop on the street in front of me.

      I nearly turn and run as the passenger door is thrown open.

      But then I hear a familiar voice, one I hadn’t heard in a long while. Tony Olivetti. Jackie! Get your ass in here!

      Smiling, I glance out the end of the alley. Nobody else
