#1 Accomplices moved so fast out of the graveyard you'd think they weren't even there.

#2 There is an aspect to these continuing sto-o-ories that has me deeply perplexed: how is it that the captured criminal is able every time to communicate to his accomplices where he is leading the RAB to, and what time he is going to be there? It is uncanny in that it never fails that the RAB in the process of defending themselves always seem to shoot the bad guy in the trademarked Crossfire, and almost amazingly enough, never is one of the hidden accomplices hit. It reminds me of the old Saturday Morning serials where the bad guys ALWAYS runs out of bullets and after several tries, realizes it and throws the now-empty gun back at the hero, but never is the Lone Ranger (or his trusty horse Silver, for that matter) struck. I stay awake at night wondering about these things. Or maybe its the chili....

#3 Perhaps another 300-400 or so of these Sto-o-ories and you'll be able to noodle your way through, USN.

#5 I love the Crossfire Gazette because it is as stylized as a Greek tragedy or your favorite bedtime story. You know how it is going to end, you just can't wait to get to the good parts.

#6 Thanks, Sea. They read just like a Louis L'amore novel, chapter 3 and the last one always have the gunfight. Count on it. (PS first post was done w/ sarc tag cloaked)

#8 Many years ago they had a Superman Series on TV (Black and white) we always thought it odd that the bad guy would empty his gun into Superman's chest while Superman just stood there and let the bullets bounce off, but whenever the Villan threw his now empty revolver at Superman, Superman would duck.

Took me many years to realize that the revolver would hurt, that's why the actor would duck.

#9 Wait, do you mean theses crossfires are not really crossfires? I'm crushed. And I had so much esteem for the RAB and their agents who bounces bullets off their foreheads.
