Bound and Desperate Office Workers Held Hostage by a Crew of Brutal Gang Members Chapter 1 It can happen, so fast, one minute things are fine the next they are bad. It happened that way with part of the Quick 6's gang, they were walking along the edge of their hood on Chicago's near north side, a beat up neighborhood that most decent people would find mildly disturbing. They got jumped by the Crip 55's, a gang in the hood next door. There were 6 of them and only four 6's, Juan, Carlos, Sanchez, and Cree. They all had knives and Cree the superstar had a gun but it was dusk, near quitting time, and showing heavy stuff during daylight was forbidden. Cree was a federal parolee, recently released.

Juan said, "I have an idea", and punched the buzzer. …but everything was about to change
