The gun was about three inches from my face, and I felt like I was wearing bifocals, as I looked up at the officer's face without taking my eyes off what was in his hand. It was long and narrow, mournful looking, and the nose was small and bony and a little too turned up, as if it had been worked on. His lips were sealed airtight, the jaws clamped down like iron. Little veins throbbed and danced along the sides of his temples. The eyes said nothing above freezing. I suddenly felt like I was already dead.
