	'' Thinking about Indians, Chief is next. None of us can say his name properly. He says he is Sioux, and his father really is a chief.

	'' Tony stopped and looked at me, “Got a bad feeling about this Doc.” He said to me as he took a drag from his cigarette, looking behind us. As rear guard he spent a lot of time watching our back trail. Tony told me all the time how much he missed Coney Island, wanted to go home and help his mom. He also seemed a bit psychic, as his gut feelings often played out right.

	'' Flash to bullets flying, the steady chatter of ~~Hillbilly’s~~ heavy fire. I ~~could see Eyes~~ clipped in the shoulder by a bullet, causing him to miss his shot.

B-ball was missing the lower half of his right leg and arm. Crimson fluid darkened his clothes. I scrambled closer, feeling my skin covered in cold sweat. Bullets hit the tree near me, splinters stinging my face. I rolled left, another explosion rocking the earth ahead of me. I looked up and the ~~Lieutenant~~ was leaning forward over B-ball. I reached out and grabbed his shoulder trying to get him to move so I could try to stop the bleeding. Tom slumped side ways, I could now see the majority of his skull was gone, sheared off.
