-[[wod:characters:abuela|Abuela]] drops by the Botanica to talk privately to Anita; the krewe is downstairs and Abuela asks Erika to come up. She tells the startled Erika, "You're in charge for a few minutes," and she and Anita step outside. Abuela lays it out for Anita: her sister [[wod:characters:adela|Del]]'s bail has been set at $50,000. Abuela herself doesn't have that kind of cash available, so Anita goes back inside to grab the financial ledgers. Abuela eyes Erika and asks, "Why are you ordering a gallon of chicken blood?" Erika looks innocent and claims she is warding her house; Anita mutters, "Warding or painting?" Erika retorts, "Maybe both," and the two Latinas decide once again that gringos are loco.+[[wod:characters:abuela|Abuela]] drops by the Botanica to talk privately to Anita; the krewe is downstairs and Abuela asks Erika to come up.

 Anita looks over her finances and realizes that with her recent expedited orders, her "nest egg" is thin. She can afford the bail, but that would cut deep into the Botanica's finances. Abuela says it's her decision; family is family but she has to also think like a businesswoman. Anita admits she can't help but consider Del as a flight risk, but promises to think about it. Anita looks over her finances and realizes that with her recent expedited orders, her "nest egg" is thin.

 David calls Peter's cell phone in another stairwell to try and get help, but Peter's cell goes right to voicemail. He then calls 911 and reports "a possibly armed gang member at Central High School." The dispatcher immediately puts a call out to the Springfield Police Department, and Peter hears the police dispatcher summon available cars to Central High. Worried that David or Erika could be in trouble, Peter asks [[wod:characters:doug|Doug]] to join the response to the high school. Doug shrugs and reports, "Car 34, responding." There are a few confused inquiries as Central High is way outside of Indian Orchard, but the precinct command doesn't question it. David calls Peter's cell phone in another stairwell to try and get help, but Peter's cell goes right to voicemail.

-Peter and Doug pull up to Central High School without lights around 2:00 o'clock, just before the final bell. The local unit is one very tall black man and a petite Latina, and both greet Peter and Doug curtly but without rancor. Peter makes it clear that they're here as this pair's backup, not to steal glory, so the two other cops relax a fraction before they all enter the school. They head to the principal's office, where David has relocated.+Peter and Doug pull up to Central High School without lights around 2:00 o'clock, just before the final bell.

 David nods to Peter and says, "It's Luis." Peter tells the other cops what he knows about Luis, including the fact he's out on bail for a weapons charge after his car blew a tire in the Six Corners neighborhood. The four cops tell the administration to lock down the building to prevent student injuries, and swarm up the stairs to David's classroom. They run into Luis as the cocky ganger descends the stairs; Luis takes one look at the cops and runs back up to the second floor! David nods to Peter and says, "It's Luis."
