The still-smoking body was being positioned on a drop cloth when Lupo and Bernard arrived. “Who is it?’ Lupo called.
“Mitch Pearl,” a uniformed sergeant responded grimly. “Gang unit. Looks like they surprised him on his way to work. Firebombed the car.” He indicated the barely-visible tag on the door of the burned-out patrol car. “Signed their work.”
“L-12.” Bernard glanced at Lupo. “Firebombing a police car. Yesterday, they killed three little kids, shooting indiscriminately into an apartment; the day before, they ripped a rival’s belly open and left him to die. Fear and intimidation. Still think they’re not terrorists?”
