Cross Wars Page #3

---

Well, that's like moving in together.

I'm serious, okay? It's safer.

So...

l'm gonna go. Yeah.

I'm glad we had this talk.

Give me all your money.

I'll cut her.

- Boy.

- You have the worst luck at picking girls.

I'm gonna give you to the count of three

to get that knife off of my neck.

One.

Two.

Three.

What?

No way. Riley can freeze time?

That's what her amulet does.

How many dead?

How many survivors?

Afraid there's nothing left

but a pair of boots and scrap metal.

Apparently, the fire set off

a bunch of grenades.

Not grenades,

they were blackfire's balls.

I've heard about your theories.

"Hulk smash!" Right?

Yeah, we wonder about you

sometimes, nitti.

Good evening, detective nitti.

Busy night?

Looks to get busier.

Callan's team is changing locations.

Someone foreclosed on their hideout.

Still chasing, right? Yeah?

Making any progress?

Same as always. Day late, dollar short.

But soon. I got one of those feelings.

I'm sure. Have fun with that.

I'm gonna look for some gremlins.

Good luck.

Well, here we are.

Yep. Here we are.

So, what's your story, nm'?

I mean, if cross and his team

are the good guys, right...

then why are you dead set

on catching them?

I don't like competition.

I've heard that about you.

Well, see you around, nitti.

By the way, it's no competition.

Cross and his team

catch a lot more bad guys than you do.

Anyone know

where the light switch is?

Yeah, I got a box.

There we go. All right, folks.

Pizzle-fire, put that back.

This is nice.

Dump it on this table.

All right, vests on this end.

All right, folks, load the mags.

We got a lot of work to do.

- All right, look at that.

- Not bad.

Shark.

- Here's your battleaxe, brother.

- Thanks, brother.

Fix the stock on this one here.

So only the necessities?

Yeah. I'll be traveling light.

As you do.

It's what we're doing.

Welcome home, guys.

The ultimate man cave.

Nothing but bricks, cement...

and me.

I think it could use a woman's touch.

I could too.

- Yeah, yeah. Actually, I bet you could.

- All right.

It was... it's a dud.

I promise it wasn't gonna go off.

It just, you know...

Pizzle-fire.

You drop your balls one more time...

l'm gonna shove them

up your turd-cutter for safekeeping.

- You got me?

- Yeah. I got you.

- He'll do it.

- Get to work.

Okay, I'm gonna get to work.

Muerte sends his regards.

His final regards.

So long, erlik.

Hey-

what have we got?

An anonymous call.

They heard gunshots.

- How many dead?

- Lt's easier to count the survivors.

I'll play that game.

How many survivors?

- If we include everyone?

- Of course.

None.

- Erlik?

- Him too.

- Really? Erlik too?

- Are you sure?

Someone finally got to him.

It doesn't make any sense.

Erlik was playing it cool.

Basically running a legit business.

- It takes big kahunas to put a hit on erlik.

- Yeah. Even bigger ones to pull it off.

Any suspects?

Not yet, but I'll figure it out.

Real question is why?

It'd be a big reason

to take out the crime boss.

There's gonna be a ripple effect.

Sure will.

Every time it runs down to my lap.

It wasn't your grim Robin hood.

They were on good terms.

She knows you well.

She knows you're a big cross fan.

Who knows?

Could have been the girls.

They take out the trash.

Not a chance. This is too dirty for a pack

of heavily armed supermodels.

This wasn't cross

or the Mickey mouse girls club.

They had a truce.

Neither would break it.

Great, now the whole world's

gonna know.

Who's our lucky winners tonight?

This is not good, Lisa.

Do tell.

Someone took out the whole crew.

Even erlik.

- Erlik? Are you sure?

- Dead sure.

I don't believe it.

Neither did I.

- Who would do such a thing?

- That's what I intend to find out.

- Cross?

- No.

Let's go find some bad guys.

Isn't that what you pretty girls do?

Look for bad guys?

Hey. How was the bar?

Did you see any cute guys?

If you did, give them my number.

Right. You're barely old enough

to date.

You know, I beat down three thugs

last night for purse-stealing.

I'm pretty sure I'm old enough.

Give them my number instead.

I haven't seen a cute guy in months.

Ladies! Listen up.

There's a new guy in town.

And he's killing all the good guys.

One by one.

- Who is this guy?

- Yeah, where'd he even come from?

He goes by muerte.

Him and his goons are already after us.

They attacked me and Callan

at a bar tonight.

Callan? As in cross Callan?

Yeah. That Callan.

Ran into him at the bar.

He said his guys

were ambushed this morning.

So what? He and his crew

eat guys like that for lunch.

As do we.

Guinevere, I'm not playing.

They want us dead.

They can get in line,

because lots of people want us dead.

You don't get it.

In the last 12 hours alone...

they've attacked Callan and his men,

then attacked me and Callan at the bar...

then broke into his headquarters.

I don't know, call it a hunch.

I'm pretty sure we're next.

So, what do you want us to do?

Strike first.

We get them before they get us.

Now you're talking my language.

I'm in.

What are we sitting around here for?

Yeah, I'm ready.

We could start

by cutting off their heads.

- You know, bloody Mary style.

- Yes, nice.

Or we could capture and torture them.

It's always more fun that way.

Ladies! Callan's

already on his way over.

We're gonna stay with them.

We're stronger in numbers.

That's ridiculous.

We don't need protection.

We are the protectors.

Come on.

I'm not going all the way there...

- to listen to chocolate-fire talk.

- Oh, he's not so bad.

- He's kind of cute.

- Then you go there...

- and you listen to him.

- Come on.

- He's got a few good jokes.

- This is so lame.

Calm it down! Calm it down.

Now, Riley has never steered us wrong.

Besides, it's always a good idea...

not to get too comfortable...

If you want to make it through

we need to stick together.

The last place any of you want to be...

is on the dying end of a kill.

Hey, man, spare some change?

Hey, he's talking to you.

Hey, punk!

Give me your change!

All right.

This place should be fully

operational by morning.

So work fast.

Oh, you guys take a break. I got it.

A little work goes a long ways.

You keep your head in the game.

And out of your ass.

Out of my ass.

They came for Riley.

Riley?

What are you talking about, Riley?

Where'd you see her?

Peter's bar.

Ran into her there.

You ran into her?

Like, like physically, like...

- ran into her with one leg up?

- Pizzle-fire.

I was just trying to make light... okay.

Pretty damn brave of them to

come after you both at the same time.

Two amulets together,

that's some pretty hot firepower.

Yeah, you guys were quite

the fighting pair, remember?

I don't think they knew that I was there.

How's that?

They only sent four guys.

So I told Riley to come stay here

with her team.

Yeah.

We need to watch them.

Do you not remember

how that went...

- the last time you did that?

- Lt's fine.

You know, it's not a bad idea.
