Wo war die Pistole? Als die vermummte Gestalt im Türrahmen die Balance zurückerlangt hatte und den Dolch hob, hörte Doyle, daß sich auf dem Dach ein Gewicht verlagerte. Darm sah er durch das offene Fenster, daß sich sein Freund nach unten schwang, mit seinen Füßen gegen die offene Tür trat, sie zuschlug und hochschnellend die Spitze des in ihr steckenden Dolches tief in die Brust des Angreifers trieb.
his friend had fled, leaving him trapped in the cab with their relentless pursuer—where was his pistol? As the hooded figure captured its balance in the doorframe and raised the weapon, Doyle heard the scuff of weight shifting on the roof, then through the open window saw his friend swing down into view and drive both feet into the open door, slamming it shut and rocketing the point of the embedded dagger completely through their attacker's chest.
