The assassin, assessing his target's muscular frame, realized he would not be an easy prey like the old men. His attack would have to be sudden, as unexpected as it was vicious.

The brutal knife thrust in his back took Danny completely by surprise. He made a strangled noise, then, as the blade was withdrawn, whirled around to face his assailant.

Rather than backing away, Danny closed on his attacker, which was a mistake. As Danny drew back his arm in a fist, the killer slashed at his exposed stomach. The finely honed blade cut deep into Danny's intestines.

"Aaah!" Danny screamed, doubled over and holding his stomach. Head down, he butted the killer, trying to push him off the platform onto the tracks.
