and Chico. 
     
    It was only a couple of minutes before we heard, "Holy Fuck!" and a thunder of shouting voices echoed throughout the cavernous building.  Clearly they had found them, it was just a matter of time before they came looking for me.  I whispered to Kate and Leah that I had a gun and to get behind me, while I stood in front of the door with the gun pointed at it, waiting for them to enter. 
     
    Presently the men came running by our cell and clamored down the stairs.  We sat dead still, waiting silently in the pitch black cell, hoping there wasn't a lone individual creeping around outside our cell.  After several minutes had passed Leah whispered, "Are they gone?  What are we going to do?" 
     
    After I questioned Kate and Leah about what happened to them, I explained briefly how I came to be here and what I thought ought to be done next.  I learned from Leah that Chase had been able to escape the ambush, barely, and it seemed to her that the Muertos targeted the girls for no other reason than leverage against the Members.  As Kate and Leah listened to my story, we continued to keep a sharp ear out for any other voices or sound of activity.  We weren't sure what to do next, but we knew we had to something at some point.
     
    About half-an-hour later, and without warning, the sound of a distant gunshot rang out.  Then the pace of voices shouting and motorcycles roaring began to build, and finally the whole area erupted in the clamor of heavy gunfire.   We figured it was now or never, so we slowly and quietly pushed the heavy door open.  I peaked both ways before letting Kate and Leah out, and then we snuck down the hallway to the top of the stairs with me in the lead.  We stopped briefly for a moment to listen for voices before we went down, but upon hearing none we descended the stairs. 
     
    The sounds of war seemed to resonate from all around.  When we got to the bottom of the stairs I again peaked around the corner.  What I found was a huge warehouse, or maybe an airplane hangar, I couldn't tell.  But from the looks of it, it was devoid of people, which was all I cared about.  We stood in a sort of break room, with a water-cooler, fridge, a messy counter top with food, and a small table.  On the table were six handguns, looking as if they were in the process of getting cleaned.
     
    I looked at couple that weren't taken apart, and finding them loaded said, "Here, you guys take these."
     
    "What am I going to do with this," Kate groaned, starting to lose her nerve.
     
    She was like me, and had probably never touched a gun in her life.  "I'm sure you'll figure it out if the situation demands it," I said flatly.  I was exhausted and stressed, too, and wasn't in the mood to be motherly. Fortunately Leah checked and handled the gun as if she knew what to do with it.  That gave me hope.  
     
    On the far side of the building, probably one city block away, was a huge, sliding door, partially open.  It seemed to be our only means of escape, so I said, "Okay, let's slowly and quietly make our way over there.  Keep your heads up, though, and make sure people aren't coming up from behind.  I don't know who might be hiding where."  Both Kate and Leah nodded in agreement, and after we took one last look around us, we started to make our way through the litter of crates, boxes, shipping containers to the large door.   
     
    By this time the gunshots were positively riotous, to the point where we would have had to speak in normal voices to hear each other.  We carefully and slowly made our way to the door.  At one point I passed a box full of cocaine; at another, a box full of fully-automatic machine guns.  I had no idea what these guys were in to, but they were probably in the business of supplying whole governments with the goods they had on hand.  
     
    Coming to threshold of the door, I could tell the melee was concentrated on the other side of the building.  Feeling a little too
