"MacHeath?" A short but densely built man approached Mackie. He was surprisingly clean cut and nicely dressed. He wore a dark trim suit, cut in a way to hide the guns beneath his jacket.

Kal smiled, "This town is hell, and there's nothing to do about it, but control it."

"That it would be ta yer advantage for the supers ta do their fightin' somewhere other than on the Jets' turf, maybe a bit farther west might be better."

"If'n the East-siders had the four-one-one on the West-siders, they could take the fightin' to the West side, 'stead of here."
