this city's made us crazy and we must get out

Jesus, fuck man.

It wasn't supposed to go down like this. We've lost too many people in the last few days and tonight? The numbers just started getting bigger.

Couple of times even my confidence was flagging but then... There was a light at the end of the tunnel. Enough of us were fighting to put a serious dent in Ashmore's plans and then everything just went to shit.

He went after Paige. Fucking asshole saw her standing there and went right after her, as if what he'd done first time round wasn't enough. We tried to get to her. Trick tried to fight off the guys he was holding back, Kim tried to make her way over... We all did.

It wasn't enough. I don't even remember watching it happen I just saw the final blow. I saw Paige on her knees and Ashmore-- I think she ran him through the neck.

She killed him. Paige killed him.

I didn't see Paige's blood. I just assumed-- I thought it was his. It was when Jack pulled him off her and I heard his voice that...

It's just fuckin' wrong, man. She was part of the reason we were out there in the first place. What Ashmore did to her, no matter how bad, was how we got one of his men, how we made him talk and for her to die-- Fuck.

*shakes head*

She went down fighting. Used her last breath to make sure others lived. Funny, the world didn't end - and yet nobody feels like celebratin'.
