They were black and white for the most part because they were taken at night when black and white photos are much clearer. Only in the house were they in color. Several of the most critical were those that showed most of the broken glass on the front porch and on the ground on the other sides of the house. That showed clearly that they had shot first. We also had an audio tape and we could hear the rapid fire of the AK’s for several minutes before the first thunderous boom of the twelve gauge shotguns responded. We strode into the room to find newspaper and TV reporters waiting there for us. I gave a brief—very brief—statement about gathering intelligence about drug sales and arresting the four en route to the high school before attempting to arrest those in the house. I described the audio tapes and played snippets that we felt were significant before answering questions. “Chief Cahill, how did you gather those conversations? Weren’t they inside the house?” “We had a set of hidden microphones nearby. I won’t tell you where, but I will tell you that everything we recorded could be easily heard from outside the house. Many of the conversations occurred on the front porch where any passerby could hear what was being said. They weren’t exactly hiding their intentions.” “Chief, would you say that this was one of your most successful operations?” “No…I wouldn’t. I never feel that a raid or other operation that results in the death of even one person to be successful. We arrested four gang members who were on their way to the high school to sell drugs without a shot fired and without even a single injury. That was a success. I tried to get the remaining gang members to surrender, but instead they started shooting. More than 800 shell casings were retrieved from the house and you heard that we waited for several minutes before returning fire. I know that I shot my shotgun exactly six times and I doubt that any of the men shot much more. Of course, we practice regularly at the county range while I doubt that gang members ever practice.” “Chief Cahill, is this the end of gang activity in your city?” “I hope so, but one never knows. I don’t pretend that I can read the future. sexy Bascomb’s Landing is a wonderful small city and we encourage people of all races and religions to friend live here, but we have no tolerance of gangs or any of their activities.” There were a few more questions, but they were more about asian our procedures than anything directly involved in the raid on the gang’s house. Later in the day we girl did hear japanese from the man who owned the house, complaining about the damage that had been done. “Okay, so sue the Bloods. They started the shooting. Maybe next time you’ll think twice before renting to a gang.” I stood to indicate that our meeting was over and he reluctantly left the building as I eagerly returned to my wife and daughter, even though I thought that Melody was happier to see Max than she was me. Lucy welcomed me by taking me upstairs for what started out to be a quickie, but wound up taking almost an hour. We never worried about our daughter knowing that Max was there and would protect her. We walked back down hand in hand, stopping ever few steps to hold and kiss each other and express our love. I checked japanese in, got directions to our room, and left the office. He was in disbelief as he sat watching this unfold girl before his eyes. However, he told me he misspoke. I goggled as friend I watched myself, wingless and asian naked, jump into the air, dodging a ball of energy that stuck the ground at my feet. I laughed out loud as did several others. She said tomorrow morning come here first thing and we will take care of you. She wore a blouse and leggings, both blue. All of it distilled into her. I laid her down and changed her diaper quickly. Jake was elated, his hard work was sexy finally paying off. Joe went to Susan and removed her bra as she stepped out of her panties. She's also happily married, so she hasn't been in on our...enjoyment of you.
