We debouched from the copse, after hiding from the cops.
The thugs of the gerontocracy saw y'all emerge from the brake. Without an onerous thought, the bullets sprayed across the coppice in a rueful winnowing of frenetic antipathy, their stolid expressions giving way to ebullience, ministering their ineffable pall, as the diminuendo of final susurrations fades to a sanguine-white noise of silence.
