Chapter 5

THE SHROUD OF MIST pulled back washing the street with light.

What the hell were these gangbangers doing out at this hour? Everything about them screamed mayhem. There would be no walking past these men, no negotiation. I had to take care of this quickly and quietly before anyone noticed.

The predator in me roared to life. Fuck 'em. Let's get this over with.

Fat Man raised a hand and thumped a short metal pipe in his palm. I angled my body in a protective stance with my back toward the building. "Morning boys," I said initiating the conversation. "Out a little early aren't we? You seem to be lost. Can I give you animals’ directions back to the hole you crawled out of?"

"Who the fuck you think you talkin' to, Bitch?" said Tall Man in a thick Spanish accent. "Me and my homies are gonna teach you some manners."

He was wrong if he thought he could intimidate me. "Gentlemen, what we have here is a case of mistaken identity. Now let me tell you how this is going to go. You," I pointed to Fat Man, "that pipe in your hand, I'm going to use it to crush your fucking skull. That knife there," I darted my finger at Blue Bandanna, "I'm going to take it and cut your fucking guts out. And you," I motioned to Tall Man, "that gun you're carrying in the back of your pants, I'm going to use it to put a bullet between your eyes. Unless, all three of you...walk...the fuck...away...now. If you don't, I promise you, this will not end well." Dropping my purse to the ground, I raised my hands in defense.

The three men looked at me, then one another in disbelief and burst out laughing.

"Man you are one motherfucking, smart ass bitch. Vato, can you believe this pinche puta?" Tall Man sneered, his head wobbling up and down like a bobble head. He laughed and glanced at the other men.

"No way, Jefe. We gonna enjoy this," said Fat Man, grabbing his crotch and shaking it.

Simultaneously the three men came at me.

It took two seconds to formulate a plan. In the first second, I assessed the situation. They made the mistake of getting too close. Had they kept their distance they would have had the advantage, but they hadn't. At this range, I could disarm them. The gun wasn't out yet. Tall Man would need a moment to brandish it. A gun was easier to take than a knife—that being the more difficult maneuver requiring precision to avoid the blade. I'd neutralize the knife threat, then the gun, and finish with Fat Man. By the next second, I'd begun execution and instinct took over.

I turned to see Blue Bandanna come at me from behind wielding the knife overhead. Pivoting, I dodged the blade as it sliced through the gray mist. I grabbed his fisted hand on the downswing and jerked it back hard enough to snap his wrist. Letting out a bone-chilling scream, he stiffened in pain.
