It wasn't supposed to go like this! Julian and cousin Henry fled breathless down the alley Henry turned and fired two shots toward their uniformed pursuers.                              *"Late breaking news:                               Police interrupted a burglary                               in the 300 block of Hastings.                               An officer is down and has been taken to                               Blessed Sacrament Hospital."* Henry and Julian raced in through his Mom's front door scrambling for the basement. Henry mad beyond himself said. "I know I hit him, man, I saw him drop!" "Get a grip you fool, you winged him and we got away                              *"The slain officer's name has been released.                               Brad Kravcik leaves a wife, a grown daughter                               and two teen-aged sons.                               Witnesses identified two youths and police                               expect an arrest at any minute."* Julian's mother exploded down the stairs. "Your pictures are on the tube. You idiots killed a ********* cop. Get the hell out of my house!" The two boys tried for the door but bullhorns, lights and a forest of rifles barred their exit.                              *"This just in: two suspects have been arrested                               in the shooting death of officer Kravcik.                               Julian Lewis and Henry Behrens                               are believe to be responsible                               for a string of north side break-ins.                               The whole community is                               breathing a huge sigh of relief."* The governor made no eleventh hour call, so Henry banished all thoughts of the plastic tube silently dripping terminal liquid into his vein He felt the world go hazy then felt nothing - nothing at all.
