Leahy was three steps along the corridor when the shot sounded.
He spun back and threw open the door.
The prisoner had slumped to the floor, dark blood gathering round his head.
‘What the fuck!’
A pistol was hanging by Kelly’s side.
‘Well?’
‘You told me to get rid of him.’
‘I told you to get him out of here, not blow his fucking brains out!’
Kelly shrugged. ‘He deserved what he got.’
‘Since when did you become judge and executioner?’
‘Since this fucker and his pals killed Bates.’
‘This is murder.’
‘And they’ll be another if you blabber, Leahy.’
A drabble is a story of exactly 100 words.
