Avery fired at him on the sidewalk."
She nodded and said, "If any rounds went astray, we'll have to account for
them. May I see your weapon?"
Cade unholstered his Glock, dropped the clip and handed it to her, then
turned the gun slightly to the left and jacked the slide to eject the round in
the chamber, which he caught with his left hand and set upright on the table.
Leaving the Glock's slide open, he set the gun on the table, as well, and
picked up his coffee. Bain had watched the casual emptying of the gun with one
eyebrow raised, then she gave Cade a wry look.
"I'll bet that trick impresses the hell out of some women."
Shrugging, Cade said, "The only women who've ever seen me do that could
probably do it, too, LT, so I kind of doubt it. Are you through counting my
bullets?"
Nodding, she handed him the magazine and asked, "Did you have one in the
chamber as well as a full magazine?"
As he thumbed the loose round into the top of the magazine, Cade said, "Yup.
One up the spout."
He put the magazine back in the Glock and thumbed the slide release to close
it, then put the gun back in its holster.
