  Gun For Hire by Mack Reynolds - A gun is an interesting weapon; it can be hired, of course, and naturally doesn't care who hires it. Something much the same can be said of the gunman, too... 
  Joe Prantera called softly, "Al." The pleasurable, comfortable, warm feeling began spreading over him, the way it always did. 
  The older man stopped and squinted, but not suspiciously, even now. 
  The evening was dark, it was unlikely that the other even saw the circle of steel that was the mouth of the shotgun barrel, now resting on the car's window ledge. 
  "Who's it?" he growled. 
  Joe Prantera said softly, "Big Louis sent me, Al." 
  And he pressed the trigger. 
  And at that moment, the universe caved inward upon Joseph Marie Prantera. 
  There was nausea and nausea upon nausea. 
  There was a falling through all space and through all time. There was doubling and twisting and twitching of every muscle and nerve. 
  There was pain, horror and tumultuous fear. 
  And he came out of it as quickly and completely as he'd gone in. 
  He was in, he thought, a hospital and his first reaction was to think, This here California. Everything different. Then his second thought was Something went wrong. Big Louis, he ain't going to like this. 
  He brought his thinking to the present. So far as he could remember, he hadn't completely pulled the trigger. That at least meant that whatever the rap was it wouldn't be too tough. With luck, the syndicate would get him off with a couple of years at Quentin. 
  A door slid open in the wall in a way that Joe had never seen a door operate before. This here California. 
  The clothes on the newcomer were wrong, too. For the first time, Joe Prantera began to sense an alienness—a something that was awfully wrong.
