Delicato could feel the intensity of that gun barrel pinning her down like a spotlight.
Hot and all-encompassing, her last bastion of nerve buckling under the immense
pressure. This was new territory for the Detective.
"Wait, please!" shouted the maxed-out Delia as she raised her hands in a surrender.
Vickie soaking up the emotion like a psychotic sponge.
"Please, just give me a minute!" she begged.
Delia was shaking like a drunk going through withdrawals. Vickie was loving this.
"I just... I... I need to, think..." she stuttered.
That gun shattered any real chance of her coming to a conclusion worthy of thought.
Time was now her most bitter enemy. Every tick placed her closer to Gail and further
from Johnny. Yes, it was He that dominated her final thoughts. Exactly how she wanted it.
"Time's up" Vickie said in a flash as she pulled hard on the trigger. The click struck Delia
like a thunderous bolt from the heavens. She gasped loudly, sucking in air causing her
to choke and sputter.
Empty chamber.
Vickie roared with laughter.
"Oh you dear sweet girl! I'm not going to kill you!" she yelled jovially.
"I need you!" she continued.
Delia at this point began hyperventilating. Clutching at her chest, looking around for any
comforting signs of help. None were to be found.
It was the height of madness. And Delia was tied down in the center ring.
