as book takes out his wallet, displays his shield.
as mcelroy walks past book, drops the pistol to the pavement, keeps on going.  and is gone.
as the man stares:
as book and rachel's dancing comes to a sudden halt. both turn, look at eli. rachel regards him level-eyed, without discernible alarm. book, looking a bit sheepish, goes over, turns off the radio, as:
as book struggles to his feet – schaeffer holding the pistol tight to book's head. book turns, sees samuel and stoltzfus, blinks.
