A round hits the windshield to my right and produces a nickel-sized hole. “Oh s**t,” I say, “Gus isn’t going to like that.” Three more rounds blast out most of the windshield’s left side. I immediately drop onto the center console. “Fire back!” Tony barks. “Good idea,” I say, as sarcastically as possible. Placing the barrel of the AR-15 out the broken windshield, I open up on the two trucks. The rounds ricochet and spark off the windshields and the front grille. “Bulletproof glass,” I say, releasing the magazine, and punching in my third and last one. “Nothing’s totally bullet-proof when you get close enough,” Tony insists. “That a fiction you’re making up?” “Hey,” he says, “I do my research.” More rounds coming at us, shattering more glass and coming way too close for comfort.
