Suddenly a stranger stepped in front of him just as he reached the entrance to an alley between two houses. "Gotta light, mac?" he said, holding up a cigarette between his fingers. "Da," he said sounding a bit startled as he dug into his pocket for his lighter. Then he felt the icy cold tickle of a wire tighten around his throat. Too late, he tried to get his fingers under it.
