Little Sister Lost

Finished speaking Marvin Jonathan Freedlander raised both hands over his head in a victory salute. The guests loved it.</p><p>This was the moment Matt Dawson had been waiting for. He sucked in his breath raised his hand and was acknowledged. A microphone was thrust under his chin.</p><p>Mr. Freedlander what can you tell us about the murder of an American expatriate in Cuernavaca Mexico a few days ago? The hall grew quiet. Freedlander taken by surprise peered over his glasses at the man who had asked the question but did not respond. What was it that was familiar about the man?</p><p>Then recognition dawned. He pointed a finger at Matt. I'll kill you for this! he screamed his lips twisting with rage. Pulling the Beretta from under his suit coat he aimed it at Matt. Less than thirty feet separated the two men.</p><p>Ann Sullivan standing a few feet to Matt's right adrenaline pumping watched horrified as the pistol came out. She saw the barrel pointed at her friend and sensed what Freedlander was about to do. Noooo! she cried and flung herself headlong in front of Matt as Freedlander squeezed off two shots.</p>
