Vamps and Mass placed Ravy up beside the back wall and covered him with a blanket they snatched from a frightened young couple in the corner. The man and woman would have to deal with being chilly, because Vamps wasn’t about to leave Ravy where everyone could gawp at him. He deserved better than that.

During this time, Pusher and his two boys kept their distance and nursed their wounds. Vamps, Mass, and Ginge had wounds of their own, but the worst pain was in their hearts.

Ravy was dead, and no matter how Vamps looked at it, he knew it was his fault. He’d been insistent that they stick around in the city. It had always been a crazy thing to do, but now it seemed downright absurd. What had he been thinking? Why was he so stupid?

“This is messed up,” said Mass, his thick arms folded in a nervous gesture that was entirely unlike him. “I… I can’t deal with this anymore. Ravy is gone. He’s really gone, isn’t he?”

Vamps had no words, so he embraced his friend briefly and let go. Mass would be okay, to a point. It was Ginge who needed looking after. Since watching his best friend get shot, the big guy had sat up against the wall, rocking back and forth gently and staring at the blood on the floor.

Vamps shuffled down beside him. “You okay?”

Ginge didn’t even acknowledge he’d been asked a question.

“Ginge, man. Let me hear you. Are you still with us?”

Ginge blinked. His eyes brimmed with tears.

“It’s the shock.” Pusher crouched in front of them both and examined Ginge with a quick glance. “I had a buddy who went the same way when he saw his sister jump off the roof of his tower block.”

Vamps frowned at his enemy. “Back up. I don’t need to be seeing you right now.”

“Fair enough. Just letting you know I call a truce. No good to be fighting each other right now when we have a bigger enemy.”

“I said back up.”

Pusher sighed, but kept his palms up, and he moved away. “Sorry for your loss, G.”

Vamps went back to his friend. “Ginge, man, we need to find a way out of this.”

Ginge stared into space.

Vamps sighed and got back to his feet. If Ginge needed time, okay, but they still needed to find a way out of this cage. Vamps couldn’t afford to sit around and do nothing. All the same, he was surprised when he saw the Prime Minister standing on the other side of the steel mesh.

The prisoners all gawped as the leader of the country stood before them proudly, his chin lifted towards the ceiling. His black moustache twitched as he spoke. “I’m extremely sorry for your ordeal. It is never my intention to watch any citizen of this great nation suffer. Unfortunately, certain sacrifices need to be made in times of exceptional circumstance.”

“Why are you doing this?” one of the prisoners asked.

The PM seemed pained by the question. He reached up and ran his long fingers over his bony chin.
