Against the Law — Sandy Johnson

Dr. Salk looked up from his papers as the first guard walked through the door with his hands clasped on top of his head. "What-?" Salk started to ask as the other two guards followed, their eyes straight ahead. But Kirk came in behind them, his gun pointed at their backs, looked over at the doctor, and in a polite, businesslike way, said, "Just keep on doing what you're doing, Doctor. " Kirk instructed the guards to kneel on the floor, keeping their hands on their heads. He removed their guns. Terrified, Salk's mind raced. What should he do when the shots began to ring out? What had Kirk done with Mary Evans? Then Mary walked in. Kirk crossed to his young lawyer. "You watch that man over there," he said, indicating the doctor. He placed a gun in Mary's hand. It was the last day of March 1983, one day before April Fools' Day.
