As he drove to the city from the lake, the snow had stopped but slush spit up at the window. He punched in Anabelle’s phone number in case she was heading there. No answer. He tried the others. Must be they were there. He put his bubble on the roof and sped up. A few times he skidded, but damn, he needed to be there.

When he got to the scene, he saw right away what was happening. The area was well-lit by streetlamps. This time, two groups of girls were squaring off. He’d donned his Kevlar vest before he started over, and leaping out, he grabbed his gun from the glove compartment and stuck it in the back of his pants. It was bitchin’ cold, as he threaded his way through a crowd that uniformed officers were trying to disperse. Puffs of air came from his mouth and everyone else’s.

Anabelle stood on the sidelines, holding a megaphone, trying to diffuse the situation. “Put your weapons down.”

“No way, bitch.”

“Go screw yourself.”

One comment from each side. He recognized the Savage Sisters, but the girls in red and black jackets were new.

Brolin and Radford stood behind Anabelle, their hands on their weapons, and TJ was next to her, poised to go in. Gideon recalled then the gang expert from New York, who’d come out to train them. Never rush in between two gangs ready to clash. They’ll kill you first then go on to fight each other. Wait for SWAT. They’re equipped for this kind of maneuver.

“No Good Girls on our streets, cunts,” one of the Savage Sisters yelled out. We’re gonna e-rase you.”

Anabelle fired into the ground, the pop of the gun startling. “I’m serious. Put your weapons down.”

Instead, the first girl lurched forward. The rest rushed in behind her. They connected.

TJ started forward, and Anabelle held her back. “No! Wait for SWAT.”

The teams arrived a few seconds later, and eight men and women hurled themselves out of their armored jeeps, fully protected with helmets, suits and shields. Anabelle shouted, “We gotta disarm them all.”

A SWAT guy rolled a can of tear gas in the midst of the deadly fight. Clouds of gas filled the air. A lot of coughing replaced the shouts and the clatter of weapons. SWAT rushed in. The task force had to step back to avoid the acid cloud.

Shouts.

Gunshots.

Screaming.

In minutes the scene went silent, except for the low moans of suffering.

Two sets of EMT’s waited for the smoke to clear, then rushed forward. TJ went in with them.

“What’s she doing?” Radford asked.

“She has advanced EMT certification. She’s helping.”

“They’re all down,” the SWAT guy called over the radio. We need the uniforms and the task force now.”

With only a light haze around them, Anabelle, Gideon, Radford and Brolin circulated the area and picked up guns and knives. Some of the gang members laid motionless on the ground. Others tried to get up and swore while the uniformed officers handcuffed them first, yanked them up and lead them away.
