The gunfire was still going. It sounded like a war zone. Artie realized what was occurring. He looked back at the opening to Riverside Drive. No one was coming down the street after them. The gunfire let up for a few seconds and then started again, punctuated with a small explosion. Suzy was clinging to him.

“We’re safe,” he said. “I’m positive we’re safe. They’re shooting at each other. We just got caught in the middle of their war.”

Artie looked at the wreckage in front of them. He had to make a decision. Should they leave the Toyota behind and climb over the wreckage to the other side? He looked back at the corner. The block across the intersection was clear of wreckage. The Toyota hadn’t collided that hard. The car was still drivable. He could turn around and race across the intersection. They’d be exposed to gunfire for maybe two seconds, but then they would still have the car. If they’d been walking and had stumbled into that firefight, they’d both be dead. Having a car had saved them. There was really no choice. He was going to do some Kamikaze driving with Suzy’s Toyota instead of his bike.

Artie gunned the engine. He had positioned the car up the street past where the slickness began. Suzy was back in the foot well, this time by choice. He floored it; then, dropped the transmission into drive. The front tires spun. The car accelerated hard. He fought against it swerving. They entered the intersection. Artie cringed; then they were through it. Suzy peered up over the dash.

“Stay down,” he yelled.

“The hell with that,” screamed Suzy. “The next time bullets are flying I’m going to be shooting footage.”

“You do that and I’ll take away your camera and ground you for the rest of this life and the next.”

“Nobody takes my camera, Mr. Bully man!”

Artie smiled. That’s it, baby, he thought. They’d just been through gunfire and she was shrugging it off. He was proud of her. They were going to make it.
