Monaghan drew his service revolver from its shoulder holster. Resting his arms on the wet roof of the automobile, he aimed the pistol directly toward Di Paolo who was tightening his coat, tugging his Fedora down over his face.
Without shouting, not giving the man a chance to turn, to defend himself, the Commissioner fired into the dark, through the rain.
Di Paolo didn’t fall, but Monaghan knew he’d struck him by the jolt of the tall man’s body.
