After Malcolm and Marcus see that they are being closed in, they both decide to run separate ways
in an effort to force the enemy to delay in making a decision. There are now empty streets and
silent homes. Marcus runs into an alley, the same alley that the two sisters were walking through,
but by that time the sisters had run across the street in a desperation attempt to make it home after
hearing shots.

However, the street that the sisters ran across was directly in the path of where Malcolm chose to
run, and the shots that are intended for Malcolm from Rock's gun hits one of the sisters. When
Rock sees this, he stops shooting, but one of his peers continues to shoot, one that he would later on
find out has a trigger-happy problem. This peer hits the other sister, but unlike the first sister who
was hit and died instantly, the second sister dies slowly, and even after she falls this peer continues
to shoot, attempting to hit Malcolm. Rock yells out at him, and tells him to stop shooting, and the
both of them run back to their vehicle and find that the other peer had already been waiting there.

Rock asks that peer if he got Marcus, and he says no. Nothing was accomplished. Rock drives back
home angrily, realizing that this is going to cause a shitstorm in all types of places.

Somewhere in between the first bullet and the last bullet, a phone rings at the police department;
someone has reported a drive-by shooting. Black and whites appear at the scene of the shooting in
minutes but are left only with the ending of the tale. There is blinking from the police car lights and
from the traffic lights. The entire police department also sees the shitstorm that is coming their
way. They can tell from the surrounding clues around the death of these two girls that this
happened because of the lack of concern to what drugs is doing to their city. A couple of days after
this incident, it would be decided that the two cops who were arguing before would be partnered
up, even though one was from homicide and one was from narcotics.

The car door says "Shut" again, and when I look out my window I see Lynne getting into that same
damn car she got in last time to go away with Silvio. Does Silvio make her happy.

I've heard that womens' hearts beat faster than mens', probably because women tend to be less
powerful physically, but regardless of if that is true or not, one might like to think that a woman's
heart beats faster because, in a metaphorical sense, the search for love tends to be more powerful in
women than in men. Seeing Lynne drive off with Silvio, it makes me believe that she is capable of
doing anything for love, even if it means being psychologically and physically abused. I only hope
she doesn't become number two-hundred and sixty-six.

Suddenly my door opens and I see Tao making his way in, a bit slower than he usually does. "Your
door was a bit opened."

Make yourself at home, my place of residence is your place of residence. "I love this couch." So do
I. What do you want? Tao is now talking, telling me why he came here, and it appears as if he is
saying that he knows how much of an annoyance he can be, and that he will stop coming to my
place of residence unannounced. That he will be the polite neighbor that he should have always
been.

"Yeah blah blah blah. Why don't you start by paying me back for all the food you've eaten here."
