The seemingly deserted hangar suddenly came to life, but Joe Gear was ready. From his right, where Rover Jaxon had disappeared, half a dozen black-clad SRID agents sprang into action, leaping from crate to crate, guns blazing for a second before they ducked behind steel containers.

No need for cover, he was the hero, the man of the hour, the epitome of virility! He pulled the triggers, gritting his teeth and frowning angrily at those annoying swats. His rifles vomited streams of hot lead through flaming nozzles. A bead of sweat trickled around his brow, then down his chiseled chin. This was good, very good!

Joe Gear let out an angry bellow as the last of the Southern agent died a gruesome death. He lifted his guns up, striking a heroic pose. Some smoke gently spiraled up from the overheated barrels, the peaceful moment contrasting sharply with the previous scene. Joe knew his prey had had enough time to escape.
