Kate’s ears were ringing and there was a lot of commotion going on around her.  Then she heard someone yell.<br/><br/>“FBI!  EVERYONE ON THE GROUND!  NOW!”<br/><br/>There was more shouting.  And more commotion and the sound of scuffling.  Then someone threw a blanked over her and a woman’s voice said:<br/><br/>“It’s okay.  We’ll get you out of here in a second.  Are you injured in any way?”<br/><br/>“I…I…I don’t think so.”  Kate whispered.<br/><br/>They removed the blindfold and cut her out of the restraints.  They helped her off the bench and she almost collapsed.  Her legs were wobbly and her head ached.  The woman, who was wearing a Kevlar vest with the letters “FBI” across, it wrapped a blanket and her arm around Kate and started guiding her towards the door.  There were men lying face down on the floor being handcuffed.  Other FBI men in black special ops gear and masks stood around pointing sub-machine guns at the men on the floor.  The woman guided her towards the door telling people to get out of the way and let them pass.  Kate looked around but could not see if Billy was one of the men on the floor.  There was no sign of Jeffery.  It was all very confusing.  When they got to the door the hallway outside was crammed with FBI and city police.  They had to stop.  Someone said something to her and she looked up.  It was Max.  He was wearing his usual suit but had a Kevlar vest under his suit coat and a gold badge hanging around his neck with the letters “FBI” on it.  Kate blinked not quite understanding.  Max reached out and gently touched her face.<br/><br/>“It’s okay Kate.  We have everything under control.  Everything’s okay.  You go with this woman now.  We will talk later okay?”<br/><br/>Kate nodded weakly and the FBI woman started pushing her way through the crowded hallway.  They went out the side entrance into the alley between the club and the parking garage.  It was early morning but not bright enough yet for the streetlamps to go off.  The sky was overcast and the streets were wet.  An ambulance was sitting just outside the entrance to the Basement Club and the FBI woman guided Kate over to two EMT’s who helped her onto a gurney.  They threw warm blankets over her, strapped her in then lifted her into the back of the ambulance.  One of them stuck a needle in her arm and started taking her vitals.  The doors slammed shut, the siren went on, and they started moving.<br/><br/>In another moment Kate was asleep.<br/>
