'Downtown' Henry Brown watched the leopard-print Phoenix disappear into the distance, then trudged back to Mezcals with his 'lieutenant' Charles 'In Charge' Martinez.

"Pretty soon it'll just be us and Tamara down here, Chuck. For a little while, anyways. I want to make sure these kids can hang before I put 'em on the frontlines."

"You don't gotta tell me that, man. I know well enough."

"Yeah. You sure do."

They took a corner booth and flagged down a waitron. How long had it been since the Brimstone had exploded, with Charles' sister Myra still clutching the steering wheel? Charles had been in the Hellfire with Glenn, frantically trying to reload the rocket launcher.

He remembered 'Jolly' John getting slammed into the ground by the blast. It had knocked 'Jolly' out cold, but he had woken up later without a scratch on him, lucky bastard.

He remembered watching 'Feisty' Felicia sprint up to a hilltop and open fire with her rifle. She was fearless, that woman. The Brimstone weasn't the first burning vehicle she'd had to crawl out of. It hadn't phased her in the least.

He remembered waiting for Myra to exit the Apache. Everyone else had bailed out, but she was still trying to beat back the flames until the car had filled with black smoke, and then it had been too late.

He remembered seeing a massive explosion where his sister used to be.

...and then the drinks came, and the remembering stopped.

The Cheetah rolled back into town, having successfully transported all lower-ranking gang members to Elmsfield. Henry and Charles greeted Tamara and the three headed immediately for Mezcal's.

Once inside and properly beveraged, Tamara delivered the news. "Things aren't going so smoothly in Elmsfield, boss."

Henry sighed. "What now?"

Tamara took a swig of her drink. "Big Glen took Sharky's Revenge out for a Landrunner hunt, and got shot up so bad that he panicked and surrendered it to The Empire. The crew made it home safely, but now we only have one vehicle over there. Diaz... and, uh, Torres... wanted to know if we could lend them some wheels to help out the operation."

Henry stared off into space. "Yeah, we can do that. We got a couple more than we need now, I think. Maybe we can take the Big Bopper back with us, too... I hear George wants to re-unite the old Somerset Force Patrol."

"Yeah, he's not too happy about being back in Somerset, but he's definitely looking forward to getting back to Elmsfield. I think he likes it there. Weirdo."

Henry shrugged. "Whatever floats his boat. He's a good man, and I want to keep him happy. Especially if he can slap some sense into Big Glen."

Charlie laughed. "He better have a stepladder."
