Randy stepped in front of Mayor Gil and used his right arm to urge his older friend in behind him. He looked from the radio in his left hand to the man in the green jacket, and keyed the mic. “Mason …”

The radio was quiet as the men gathered near the last Tesla Model X began whispering to one another.

Again, “Mason, you there?”

Nothing.

“I think you heard the man.” Norman Davies readied the black pistol in his right hand and motioned back toward the gate. “This place no longer belongs to you or your people. We’ll let you leave without any trouble, but you’re not taking the car.”

“Let me ask you a question.”

Norman shrugged, a half grin crossing his face. “Okay, but you do realize that every second you spend here trying to prove what kind of a man you are is one less second you could be helping your people back at Harbor Crest, one less second you could be helping Megan, your son?”

Randy lunged at the man in the green jacket, although as he did, the report from the black pistol felt as though exploded inside his head. The pain in his right ear was instantaneous and approaching apocalyptic levels. Before he got his hands on Norman he could feel a warm trickle beginning to run down his neck.

Randy dropped to his knees as a second shot was fired, it was loud and close, however; nothing like the first. He wasn’t hit, but was sure his right ear drum had been shattered. Pulling his leg forward and attempting to stand, he looked to his left, and saw his friend clutching his own shoulder.

Norman began backing away as those around him also drew their weapons. “Listen, you can keep trying to get yourself and your friend here killed, but I’m not going to be the one to do it. I gave my word, and I intend to keep it.”

Mayor Gil straightened and pulled his hand away from his shoulder. His lip quivered and it appeared he was having trouble remaining upright. His right arm was now covered in blood, the hole in his jacket exposing the quarter inch gash where the round had torn open the skin.

“And,” Norman said, “neither of those were meant to do anything other than what they did. So leave now, before I decide to change my mind.”

Mayor Gil reached for Randy’s arm. “We can do this some other time. Right now we need to get, the man is right.”

Randy looked out of the corner of his eye at his friend. Gil was right, and if all of this was the truth, if Harbor Crest had fallen, if the only place left in this world that was supposed to be safe no longer was, he needed to get his friend out of here, and back to his wife and his child.

He turned back to the man in the green jacket. “You do know I’m going to have to come back for you.” And then to the others.
