Brent Kilpatrick sat on the scaffolding, his back against the brick wall, knowing that his death was probably no more than a few moments away. He watched the contorted face of the Sergeant at Arms screaming at him and the other young men on the wall to stand up and fight. Two of his mates complied, men he’d known most of his life, gone to school with, chased girls with even as they grew up in and around Cob Hill. They didn’t last a heartbeat, hit by snipers in the bush surrounding as the Army officer announced his conditions. Their bodies collapsed to the decking, blood pooling from bullet-punctured skulls.

He gripped his rifle, anger overcoming his fear. He hadn’t joined the Spartans by choice. When given the ultimatum to join or see his sister get made the club whore instead, he’d seen no option. Brent turned to the men nearest, speaking up loudly.

‘If I’m going to die today, it won’t be fighting for those pricks down there,’ he shouted, lining his sights on the nearest Spartan in the courtyard. ‘Let’s take back our town from these bastards!’

The Sergeant at Arms glared up at the recruits on the wall. ‘Don’t you fucking do it, Brent. I’m warning you!’ he roared.

Brent ignored him and fired, drilling a bullet through the chest of the Spartan. The other recruits took his lead, turning their rifles on the original club members below. The Sergeant at Arms looked at his dying comrade, swore bitterly before lifting his rifle and returning the favour. His other mates weren’t so willing to die, dropping their rifles and lifting hands in submission.

To his right, the gate smashed free of its hinges, an ear rending scream of tearing metal as an armoured truck crashed through into the compound, collecting two Spartans like nine-pins. Up on the scaffold, Brent curled into a foetal position, gut shot and dying while his mates shouted victory.
