The Same Side
Elisa Maza hadn’t planned on spending her Saturday night breaking up a brawl in an alley, but she’s learned to anticipate the unexpected, especially after dark.
One of the two guys is lying unconscious on the ground; the other is wearing, of all things, a Mexican Luchador mask. When she tells him to remove it, he proclaims, “Sensei Ping made a vow!”
Elisa flashes her police badge. “So did I.”
“You maintain justice with a badge and a gun, but the weapon is only as skilled as the hand that holds it.” The masked man – Sensei Ping? – inclines his head. “You and I are on the same side. I used the Silent Frog to incapacitate this creature before he caused grievous harm to you and your city!”
Just what she needs: a vigilante. Of course, Elisa could describe some of her closest friends the same way, even if they have the excuse of not being human. “We’ll see about that when I question you both.”
