Two Weeks Later

"This is Clive Sinclair reporting from downtown where the second week of gangland wars have led to further excalations. The gang bosses have abandoned all sense ofr decency in their reprisals and now family members of both criminals and law enforcers are being targetted in a wide-spread campaign of terror..."

After the director had finished with Luo Niu she'd been dumped in the prison grounds in clear view of her father's cell. It was all the enprisoned crime boss had needed to rally support to his side and within days his organisation's internal battles had spilled out onto the streets.

What made things worse was the precedent the **** had set. In Luo Kan's eyes the only way to respond was a similar attack of his own. Ordering the daughters, wives, mistresses and boyfriends of his rivals gathered up he'd organisaed a **** marathon in an old disused sports stadium.

Unfortunately when the police and a small group of heroes had arrived to stop the event they'd only ended up becoming part of the show. Now the city had to deal with a hostage crisis the scale of which was proving hard to handle.

What made it worse was the live internet feeds from inside the building, which had been running 24 hours a day for the last weel. Each one showing men and women being degraded and abused with no concern for who they may have been before they'd ended up in the perverted hands of their captors.

Glory Gal stood before the commissioner looking sheepish. "I'm sorry things ended up this way Gloria. I really thought we'd trained you enough to be aware of the consequences of your actions."

The heroine couldn't bring herself to look at her superior's face, but the commissioner's tone was enough to make her feel smaller than Atom. "However, it's been decided that you're going to be given a chance to redeem yourself."

Looking up hopefully Glory Gal stared wide-eyed at the commissioner. "What do you want me to do?"

The commissioner dropped a heavy file onto the desk. "A team's being formed. The plan is for them to enter the building and take down the entire gang in one fell swoop. Shock and Awe." The commissioner paused for a second to let the words sink in. "Obvously this wi9ll be a high risk mission and so we're asking for volunteers for the team. Except for you. The choice is simple in your case, either you sign up for the team or you hand in your mask and leave the city for good."
