GEORGIE THREW OPEN the car door and stepped out. He crouched behind the door as bullets dented the opposite side. He knew that if the shooters were closer or using higher caliber ammunition, their shots would have made it through the layered metal. He left his long-gun slung over his shoulder and drew his six-shot Webley.

EAMON MANEUVERED TO THE EDGE of the jeep. He flinched away as one of the jeep’s headlights exploded into shards of plastic and glass. He heard the gunfire halt and thought to make his play while they reloaded. Eamon popped up over the top of the jeep and took aim, a bit too far for his shotgun to strike true.

‘Shit,’ he muttered.

The security guard on his side pulled back into the van and began to reload. As he left Eamon’s view, a different guard took his place with a full magazine and picked up where the firing had left off. Eamon dropped back down behind Buella and slid to the ground behind the tire.

‘These guys are well trained!’ Probey shouted from inside Buella, staying below the window, knowing it wouldn’t hold out against many more direct hits. The reinforced metal would last longer than the bullet-resistant glass. ‘Alternating fire, they’re good!’ Probey caught a glimpse of the driver of the van, still sitting at the wheel, relaxed, confident in his associates, bobbing his head to the fast paced electronic music and raising the volume as if to score the chaos.

Eamon put his shoulder to the ground and tried to see if he could get an angle on the shooter from under the jeep, but no such angle was present. The wound he had sustained at the retirement home pinged with pain, like a blip on a radar, and reminded him of Beth. The bandage over it needed changing, and could probably do with an extra pass of disinfectant for good measure.
