Noble Explosion: A Texas Heat Book

The ‘explosion’ rocked the ground as debris from the building filled the air and shot out into the crowd like missiles. Then they heard that all too familiar sound, the hard hammering of the Apache helicopters came and the rapid fire from the weapons rang out and people began to fall and others began to run.
People sprung in to action – mothers scrambling for their children – husbands for their families. But there were those that went rushing toward the wounded, running into the line of fire to save others.
The rapid fire continued, ‘mother-fucking-sonsofbitches, motherfucker, fuck-this-shit’ Zachariah Stone repeated to himself over and over as he ran toward the fallen building. His family was in that fucking heap of what use to be the Montana County Courthouse. ‘fuck fuck fuck’ what the hell is happening? This isn’t some damn warzone, this is his hometown. He started grabbing and throwing huge stones and beams as if they were tinker toys. “Just be still, let me get this fucking shit off you.” Zach said gritting his teeth. He held out his hand saying, “Goddamnit Noble what the fuck is happening?”
“Fuck if I know.” They began to move further into the building, “Appears some motherfuckingsonsofbitches have declared war on us.” Noble said.
“Then I reckon it’s a good day to die.” Zach said.
“Indeed.” Noble replied.
