Alex saw the cylinders of compressed gas and dragged one out of its wire frame. At that moment, the guard appeared around the side of the fridge.
Alex swung the cylinder like a baseball bat, hitting the man with incredible force in the shoulders and neck. The guard never had a chance. He didn’t even cry out as he was thrown off his feet and sent hurtling forward into the open fridge.
Alex dropped the cylinder and groaned. He limped forward and looked into the fridge. The guard had landed in the middle of the boxes of strawberries, crushing many of them.
He took one last look at the man who had tried to kill him.
“Out cold,” he said.
Then he reached out and twisted the thermostat control, sending the temperature down below zero.
Out colder.
He closed the refrigerator door and limped painfully away.
