Norbert Wolf froze as he looked down the barrel of the pistol.

"Don't move," came a muffled sound from under the motorcycle helmet. The man who seemed to have suddenly appeared out of the darkness was wearing a black leather outfit. The helmet visor was down, so that not even his eyes were visible.
