Howie's elbow catches the jaw of one of his fellow workers, and he manages to knee another in the gut as Justin catches the other three on the head with a clever swing of his skateboard.
"What the hell do you think you're doing with a gun?" Howie yells, as Justin takes off down the street. Howie keeps up easily, and when they round the corner he finds Justin already waiting for him.
Pulling a wad of hundred-dollar bills out of his pocket, Howie hands them over to Justin. "Good job."
"Yeah," Justin says with a grin, "you know where to find me next time."
Nick sighs in relief as AJ slams the door shut, and the car revs the engine and leaves. He sees Howie return to the five fallen men in the monitor second from the left, and he turns to Kevin. "We done?"
Kevin watches the screens for a second longer before he nods. "Get us out of here."
"Come on," Brian says, as he yanks AJ toward the van. "You really are a fuckin' idiot. Your bullets?"
AJ shrugs as he climbs into the vehicle, changing the subject. "How the hell's D supposed to get out of there?"
"Doesn't have to." Brian watches AJ through the rear-view mirror. "You okay?"
AJ nods, his eyes meeting Brian's in the mirror. There's silence, then, and Brian almost doesn't hear AJ's muttered 'thanks' as they roll to a stop outside Nick and AJ's apartment.
"You guys okay?" Howie bends down to help Marshall up. It's too dark to really tell, but there's an angry red bruise already forming on Marshall's forehead.
"Yeah, but shit. The kid really packs a punch. Did you get him?"
Howie shakes his head, sighing. "Think the Senator's okay, though. We better file a police report anyway. Come on."
No bullets. AJ pulled his gun back, and shoved it inside his jacket pocket, quickly. He was about to apologize, his mind already thinking up an excuse, but then the Senator reeled forward into AJ's arms.
"Fuck!" AJ staggered slightly, but then he looked up, just in time to see the glint of Brian's gun as Brian slid back into the shadows.
