"Anthony Rain - Lust For Kicks" - читать интересную книгу автора (Rain Anthony Vincent)

The kid in front of him looked young, maybe even twelve or thirteen. The label on his pullover said СSean JeanТ. He had a silver cap on his front tooth. Jimmy started to get mad. He wanted to blow that cap right out of the kidТs mouth. Finishing his thought, he realized the kid was saying something to him.
"What is wrong with you, motherfucker? I said put your hands on your head." From the corner of his eye, Jimmy could see Bobby with his hands resting on his black hair, a smirk on his face.
The kid shifted his eyes to JimmyТs jacket. "What you got blood on you for?"
Then he squinted at JimmyТs right hand, the one holding the shotgun under the coat. He saw the outline of the stock. His eyes widened. "You fucker," he said softly.
Jimmy started to lift the gun, but the kid was fast and shot him twice in the stomach. Jimmy fell backwards against something and it caught him, then gave way and dropped him gently to the floor. He could hear more gunfire in the store, Bobby yelling. But sound in general started to go soft. He was surprised he felt no pain. He focused past the front door and could see a graffiti mural on the wall across the way. It started to go fuzzy. He tried to keep it in focus. Look at the colors, he told himself. But it started to lose light, then faded to black.
