               Thom looked at Ryan who shrugged. “What’s a window in all of this?”
               “Where’d they get the gun?” Thom asked.
               “It was mine. I had it out.”
               “They asked where the BBs were,” Sie said. “So I told them you kept
            them in your storage room.”
               “You’re a real good-time girl,” Ryan said. “So they loaded the gun?”
               “Yeah,” Abe said. He snorted his laugh up his left nostril. He had
            broken his nose in a fall several years before. No one had bothered to fix
            it. The Army doctor said they could repair it when he was older and could
            pick out his own nose. “They loaded it and pointed it at Sie and...”
               “Go on!” Sie jumped in. “Tell the whole thing, you mother fucker!”
               “Stop,” Ryan said.
               “Keep talking,” Thom said to Abe.
               “They pointed the gun at Sie and told her to drop her panties because
            they wanted to see...”
               Bea could not hold back. “They wanted to see her twat!”
               “What happened?” Thom expected the worst.
               “I only let one of them stick his finger in me,” Sie said. “I didn’t want
            to get shot.”
               “No Death before dishonor here,” Ryan said.
               “I wasn’t going to take down my panties for those cocksuckers,” Bea
            said. “I told the motherfuckers to get the fuck out of the house. I told them
            they wouldn’t dare shoot me.”
               Ryan heard the rage of a young dyke rising in her voice.
               “And then,” Abe said, “Bea punched out the asshole with the gun and
            took it away from him.”
               “I told him I was going to shoot his balls off,” Bea said. She was proud
            of herself.
               “Jeez,” Ryan said.
               “You know Bea,” Abe said. “She really made those suckers run.”
               “There’s more,” Bea said.
               “Oh, God, no!” Ryan said in mock horror.
               “There was this fight in the yard,” Bea said. “That’s when they pulled
            down Abe’s pants and tried to shove the hose up his ass. That’s how he
            got all wet.”
               “What else,” Ryan asked, “do the simple folk do?” He had left the City
            for the county to get away from all this and here it was. The rest unfolded
            quickly. Ryan could see it all. Abe had chased after the older boys who
            had pantsed him in the yard. Two-fisted Bea was after them with the BB
            gun and the screwdriver.
