Dom looked at the moon and wondered whether his father was out in the wastes somewhere looking up at it, too. He still hadn’t heard a word about how the Desert Snakes were doing out there, and he didn’t expect to anytime soon.

“Want to stop by and see Cam at the hospital tonight after our shift?” Moose asked.

“Yeah, for sure.”

“Knowing Cam, she’s probably trying to escape.”

Dom chuckled. He and Moose sat in their new black unmarked car, waiting for the next emergency call. He prayed his father, sister, and mother and Camilla were okay, but he knew they were all hurting. He was hurting, too, and hoped to take some of that pain out on some assholes tonight. When the call came in about a cage-fighting ring outside the Angel Pyramids, he grinned.

A second report came in—one of a “major” player potentially being present.

“Punch it,” Dom said to Moose.

The car squealed out of the parking lot and onto the highway. Now that they had proved themselves on several missions, Marks had pulled them off beat duty and assigned them to his task force.

It felt good to be working with a man who wasn’t corrupt. Someone he could trust, whom he had always respected.

Dom had earned Marks’s confidence by fighting F-13 in the main battle for the city, and in all the battles since then, including the one that brought down Mariana López.

Being part of the task force was an honor, but it also gave him the best chance of finding Monica if she was still in the city.

He picked up the radio again.

“Proceed with caution,” said the dispatcher. “Multiple high-level targets in the area. Consider them extremely dangerous. Confirm it’s them, and wait for backup before engaging.”

“Copy that.”

Dom couldn’t believe their luck. First Mariana López, now a top-level Vega?

“You really think Esteban or Miguel left the Angel Pyramids?” Moose asked.

“I doubt it, but you never know. There’s a rumor going around about a cease-fire between Moretti and Esteban.”

Moose floored it. This Dodge Challenger was a race car compared to the beater Crown Vic they had been driving for the past few months.

Dom pulled out a map to look for the location. The building was an old shopping center on the eastern edge of the Angel Pyramids. No surprise that crime families had taken over the abandoned buildings to house their illegal activities.

Some of them, like the Vegas, did their crimes right out in the open, unconcerned about the police because, usually, the police did nothing.

But tonight the Vegas were going to experience cops of a different kind.

Moose slowed as he approached the zone. Cars on cinder blocks, some of them stripped down to the chassis, lined the street.

People loitered on the corners, smoking joints and drinking from bags. A group of kids no older than ten hung out in a park. In places like this, many children were orphans or being raised by a single parent or grandparent. It wasn’t a shock to see them out, even at midnight.

Several faces turned at the growl of the Challenger’s engine.
