and pulled out my handgun, passing it through the window. “Do not use any bullets unless you absolutely have to.”
    He nodded his head. “Thanks, Bryn.”
    I didn’t answer. I just rolled up the window.
    “I hope you know what you’re doing,” said Rob. “Fohi is always an accident just waiting to happen. He’ll probably just shoot himself with the stupid thing.”
    “Then he’ll put us all out of our misery,” said Trip, getting everyone to laugh.
    We waited for a couple tense minutes. The car was getting hot, Kowi having told Rob not to run the air conditioning to save gas. We weren’t idling anymore either, but Rob kept the battery on, his hands resting on the key and the steering wheel. Raindrops were obscuring the view out of the front windshield.
    Just when I thought we’d hear the sound of a garage door going up, the crack of a gun startled the bejesus out of me. Rob abandoned his post as the driver, throwing his door open and running to the front of the house before any of us could absorb what was happening.
    “Rob!” yelled Kowi, but it was too late. He was already inside.
    “Shit!” yelled Trip, struggling to unfold himself from his cupholder seat and get into the one vacated by Rob. He turned the key sitting in the ignition and then pulled the door shut. His foot hit the accelerator, but the car was still in park, so the engine roared but didn’t take us anywhere. Everyone screamed at once.
    “Wait!” yelled Kowi. “We have to get them out of there!”
    Before any of us could weigh in on that idea, the garage door flew up. My head whipped around at the sound and Buster started barking like crazy. I was expecting to see a line of canners standing there with rocket launchers over their shoulders; but instead, all I saw were Rob and Fohi - Fohi having a distinctively sheepish look on his face.
    “Sorry ‘bout that!” he said.
    Rob just shook his head, walking backwards and waving us in. Trip took a deep breath and moved his foot to the brake, pressing it in while he downshifted into reverse. We slowly backed up, getting closer and closer to Fohi’s and Rob’s retreating forms. Once we were nearly all the way in, they jumped to the sides and banged on the windows.
    “You’re all good,” said Rob. “Shut her down.”
    Trip didn’t even have the engine off before we were all piling out of the car. I stood off to the side, waiting for Bodo to get out, watching the chaos around Fohi.
    “What the hell, dude? What did you shoot? Was there somebody in there?”
    “Uh … no. Not exactly,” he said, separating himself to come over and hand me my gun. “Thanks, Bryn. Appreciate it. Sorry about the bullet.”
    I looked at him, confused. “Who’d you shoot?”
    “Myself.”
    I looked him over from head to toe. “Where? Did you miss?”
    “Nope,” he said almost proudly. “Got myself right between the eyes.”
    I was starting to wonder if he’d lost his marbles when Rob reappeared from inside the house, carrying a full length mirror frame with a giant bullet hole in it. The glass was gone, but some backing material remained.
    “The dumbass shot his own reflection,” he deadpanned.
    Everyone in the garage started laughing their butts off. Even Trip, who’s usually too cool for that kind of release.
    “Hey! I saw a guy, I shot him and asked questions later,” said Fohi, only making us laugh harder.
    I looked at Kowi. “And you gave this guy a grenade?” Someone had decided that Fohi should join the distraction group and given him one of the weapons.
    “Yeah. You’ve got a point there.” He looked at Fohi and held his hand out. “Hand it over, Bee.”
    “Don’t call me Bee, first of all. And why? I can handle it. I’m not going to throw it at a mirror, I promise.”
    “Yeah, well, I don’t want to risk it.” Trip grabbed Fohi’s backpack off his shoulder, unzipping it and pulling the heavily wrapped explosive from inside. “Here,” he said, handing it to Kowi before shoving the backpack into Fohi’s chest.
    “Aren’t you going to zip it back up at least?” asked Fohi, frowning at Trip.
    Trip just shook his head and walked away.
    “Okay, so who’s on Rob’s team?”
    Bodo, Peter, Paci, and a few others raised their hands. Kowi walked over and handed the bundle to Bodo. “Put this in your bag. Use it when we tell you and not before, got it?”
    “Yes. I got it.” He looked worriedly at the wrapped shirt and then reached down, rubbing the edge of his
