Maki looks outside, she noticed it started raining. "When did it start raining?" She asks Makoto.

"Right after we came in, I noticed it a bit. I think it's nice."

"It's nice to see you're not acting gloomy anymore at least. It seems this place always cheers you up."

"You're right, it does. Such a friendly atmosphere, Yukako is so nice. I heard she got a boyfriend, remember David Bowie from down the street?"

"You mean Yoshikage Kira?"

"Whatever, I heard they were going out together, I talked to him a bit yesterday, seems real nice."

Maki looks out the window and says, "I'm sure he is if Yukako is going out with him." Maki notices something, a black Hummer with blacked-out windows coming around the corner, it's going slow. It rolls past, windows go down. Maki realizes what's happening. Maki kicks the table over on the side, and drags down Makoto. Suddenly the whole diner is exploding from gunfire. Maki stays down with Makoto, pulling out her piece.

"MAKI WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON!" Yells Makoto, she's obviously scared, yet Maki is still calm. Maki is always calm, no one can really break her, only make her angry. "MAKI PLEASE TALK TO ME!"

The Hummer screeches off, Maki fires a shot, Makoto gets up. They look around their favorite diner and see Yukako, she's been hit. Maki checks to see if she's still alive, she isn't.

"They were after us….. but they hit her…" Makoto's improving mood returns to its gloomy state. Maki still isn't shaken, she says some words for her fallen friend, someone who didn't deserve to die here and now, but did.

Maki and Makoto get up and leave, before the police arrive. Maki knew she would be busted for the piece she had and also knew Makoto probably couldn't handle that right now. They left, found a phone booth a bit down the road, and called Spike.

"This is Spike, what's up?"

"Spike! This is Maki! Someone tried to take us out at the diner!"

Spike is silent for a second, then speaks up, "Get the fuck back here, I'm calling everyone back, it seems we're really at all-out war now. I just got a call earlier that they tried to hit our territory by the west side. They're launching one hell of an invasion."

Maki sees the black Hummer again, she runs around the corner with Makoto. Car doors open and slam, someone yelling orders. Spike can barely be heard shouting at the two. They run around the corner, trying to run away from the four man crew after them. Makoto is very scared, she doesn't know what to do, she wants to give up, she didn't want this when joining the gang. She thought being a GANG-STAR would be easy, but now they're running for their lives as low rank gangsters under orders from a low rank boss.

"Listen up fuckers, we know you two hit our friend, we're after you two bitches. You can come out and make this easy, or make this difficult, but it'll end up the same way you fucking assholes!"

Makoto whispers, "Maki what the fuck are we gonna do? We can't do this!"

"Makoto shut the fuck up, okay? We got this, we're probably more trained than them."

"PROBABLY?! Our lives are on the fucking line here and you wanna go with probably?"

"Just shut the fuck up and do what I say." Maki brings Makoto around a corner for a better view at the crew. "You still got that piece Makoto?"

"Y-Yeah, it's right here." Makoto pulls out a small 9mm, perfect for her. Maki got it for her 16th birthday. "You're not expecting me to use it are you? I've never actually had to use it…."

"You might, you might not. Depends on how this goes. Just stick with me buddy, you know we can do this"

Makoto glances at her gun, could she really do this? She'd never been in a firefight, she was a driver who let Maki do all the dirty work. That's how they functioned, a driver and a shooter. A perfect pair, but now it was beginning to look like rookie and master.

Maki sees an opportunity to take out two, she takes it. Bang, bang, two go down. Maki grabs Makoto and they run around the alley to the other side. Maki hears a car stop nearby, she can only hope its Spike and the gang.

"You fucking bitches! You'll pay for that!"

Gunfire, obviously from an M16, Maki thought. Maki knew guns, she loved guns. She also knew she would die by gun, so she wanted to learn about guns so she might know what gun she would die to.

More gunshots are heard, followed by silence. Footsteps, getting closer, closer, closer. A man with wounds tackles Maki, Makoto screams, Maki loses her gun. They're struggling, the man overpowers Maki and puts a gun in her face.

"Any last words bitch?"

"Yeah, FUCK YOU!"

A gunshot rings out.
