Abdul ran his hand along Bob’s shirt collar, reached in and pulled out the wire leading to his earphone. “What is this?” he said, holding the earphone. “I listen to music, Abdul.” Abdul pulled on the wire leading inside Bob’s shirt. Then he stepped to Bob’s side and felt the wire leading to a transmitter inside the waistband on the backside of his pants. Grady pulled his Glock 38 from inside his jacket, and pointed it at the others. “Stay calm, brothers,” he said, moving back toward the wall to more easily bring Abdul into his visual field. “No one get excited and no one gets hurt.” He maneuvered himself along the wall so Bob could join him, without being in the line of site of his weapon, and together, they moved toward the door. They stood with their backs to the door, Grady’s handgun keeping the others calm, when Bob kicked the door with his boot signaling Eddy to enter the room. When the door opened, Eddy, assault rifle in hand, opened fire.
