- > Terrorist Attack. Mutou.
- There are certain sounds that you should never hear when you're teaching a biology class at eleven in the morning. The first one that comes to mind is the sound of automatic gunfire and breaking glass.
- "Hakamichi, keep everyone inside," I say. "Wait here."
- I move to the doorway and carefully push it open, glancing down the hall.
- There are two men in masks, carrying assault rifles. They're pushing a couple of girls in wheelchairs out into the hallway. One of them has a gun in the face of Mrs. Shimada from class 3-1.
- Fuck.
- Think. Think. Think. Is this a spree shooter? No. They'd have started shooting already. A disgruntled student? How could he get ahold of a gun in Japan? Automatic weapons. . . and they've got training too. This is something else. Something organized.
- Step one. Get any potential hostages out of the zone.
- "All right, class. Listen carefully. I need you to drop what you're doing NOW. Don't take anything with you except essential medication. Anyone who can walk, start helping the movement impaired kids. I need you to head out the back door right now and move towards the. . ."
- And that's when the door behind me opens and a man walks in shouting and holding an assault rifle.
- They say you never forget. That it's like riding a bicycle. Maybe.
- Step one: control the gun. Grab the barrel of the weapon. Point it up towards the ceiling. Away from the kids.
- Step two: distract the man. Knife-hand chop to the throat. Sloppy. It doesn't hit hard enough. He's still up, still fighting.
- Step three: control the fight. Short kick to the left shin, take him off balance. Good hit. Repeat the throat chop. Still doesn't hit hard enough, but it knocks him down.
- Step four: get a weapon. Switch from a knife-hand chop to a left-wrist chop. Get him to let go of the rifle for just a bit, and then. . .
- Twist. Turn. Right hand slides down the weapon. Safety is off. Weapon is hot.
- Instinct takes over. Three quick pulls of the trigger. Two in the gut slam against a ballistic vest (that's bad. military grade body armor). The third one takes off his face.
- "MOVE! GO!"
- I scream to my kids and move into the hallway. My heart pounds. Adrenaline races through my blood. For the first time in fifteen years, I raise a rifle to my shoulder, line it up against a man's head, and pull the trigger.
- Fuck with my kids, will you? Not on my fucking watch.
- Not while my name's Akio Mutou.
