“Eric, come on man, hurry up!” Josh told his friend and partner.

“I’m just counting down the till. How bad does it look outside?” Josh asked. Both of them had been watching the third day of protests turn into a riot, right on the local news.

“Somebody just threw a brick through the door of the electronics store across the street. I think he’s got his metal gate down or somethi… Oh shit!”

“What?” Josh asked, giving up on counting and just stuffing the cash into a bank bag.

“A few of them jumped across the big gate where the shop owners park,” Eric said, peeking out the side window.

The two of them had already closed the store, turned out the lights and rolled down the window and door protections. Unlike the shop down the street, they had three potential exits. One in the front, one in the back and a roof access where their heating and cooling unit was, and their neon sign.

“Oh shit,” Josh said. “The owner’s son just came out, and got chased back in.”

After just a few seconds, the front door of the store opened, and people began rushing in. Lots of people. Too many people.

“We’re locked in here, right?’ Eric asked.

“Yeah, for now we’re locked in. What are you thinking?” Josh asked, pacing in the darkened store.

“Did you get ahold of 911?”

“Yeah, they said all police are tied up at the moment. I think the riot and the fact that the police cars are getting their tires slashed… Dude, I think we’re on our own for a while.”

“I don’t like that. I’d like to get out of here,” Eric said. “I just wish there was some way we could have the store stay intact.”

“I do too, but shit, look, people are already gathering around the front of our store!”

Both of them heard the banging on the security curtains, blocking the store’s doors and windows. Angry shouts could be heard, and then Josh stumbled backwards in surprise as faces filled the side window, and started banging on it.

“Oh crap, they saw me,” Josh said.

“Put the bar in place,” Eric yelled, as he pulled out his cell phone, dialing.

“Got it,” Josh mumbled, his words lost over the sound of the crowd outside.

“Calling the cops again,” he said, holding up the cell phone to his ear before cursing. “A circuits are busy.”

“There’s only one way they’re getting in here,” Josh said. “They’ll have to pry off one of the security curtains, or blast through the side window.”

“It’s bulletproof,” Eric said, dialing 911 again.

“The news, look at the news,” Josh pointed to the TV they kept mounted on the ceiling, and in closed captions they both could see what they couldn’t hear over the din of the screams and shouts.

The vigilante group known as Anonymous Justice is calling for all active members to assist the police in quelling the riots in Washington DC. Twitter and Facebook have been going crazy, and the hashtag #anonymousjustice is trending, just below #dcriots.
