Millie heard the shots and had gone to the window in time to see the two thugs standing over the lifeless body of their victim.
One of them had looked right at Millie. He smiled maliciously at her and raised a finger to his lips, as if to tell her to be silent.
The other man turned and saw her frozen with fear there in the window.
The two men exchanged some words. The smiling man dragged the body into the alley. The other man crossed the street, headed for Millie’s apartment building. She knew what that meant. Time was short.
