Chapter 44: Draw

"For the Skull!" The Skull gangsters shouted back enthused by Alan’s rallying cry.

The Skull gangsters had, by now, retreated into their former campsite and could now funnel the attacking Mad Dogs into one spot. The collapsed portion of the wall was the only direct entrance to the camp on this side of the street. So, they were able to fend off the vast numbers of the Mad Dogs gangsters by forcing the fight between this gap. All they needed to do was hold on until help arrived.

Alan was at the front of the hole fighting alongside several of his men, while fending off Darius and a dozen other crowding Mad Dogs. Everyone else that had made it inside was gasping for breath and recovering their strength. Every time a Skull defending the gap became injured or appeared to be weakening, they would fall back inside, and another would gallantly take his place.
