With a merciless thoroughness, Herman fired again and again, ensuring no survivors.
Then, weary from the carnage, he collapsed onto the sofa, his expression vacant.

“Miss Moore, do you have any comments on this video?”
“What do you mean?”
Hannah raised her eyebrows and replied, “It appears to be a typical gang in-fighting scenario ending with the leader’s suicide. I don’t have any comments on this video.”
