Saigo landed near the fallen gun, while Lanier reached for the other gun, cursing his poor aim. By now Saigo had snatched up the Uzi on the floor and trained it on Lanier. Lanier stopped dead-still and kept his hands where they were as Saigo covered him. He wouldn’t be able to reach his weapon before Saigo shot him. He didn’t know for certain how good Saigo was with a gun, but from what he’d seen so far, he had to assume it was pretty good. At such close range, with a burst-fire weapon like the Uzi, skill didn’t matter much.
