"Did you see that thing about the gang fight up in Manhattan?"
Captain Hanks sighed. "Stevenson," he said wearily, "are you going to try to connect every single time the word 'scorpion' comes up? What's the problem with this one? These kid gangs have names, so what?"
"Neither one of them was called 'The Scorpions,'" Stevenson told him. "One of them was the Scarlet Raiders and the other gang was the Challengers."
"So they changed their name," said Hanks.
"Both gangs? Simultaneously? To the same name?"
"Why not? Maybe that's what they were fighting over."
"It was a territorial war," Stevenson reminded him. "They've admitted that much. It says so in the paper. And it also says they all deny ever seeing that word on their jackets until after the fight."
"A bunch of juvenile delinquents," said Hanks in disgust. "You take their word?"
"Captain, did you read the article in the paper?"
"I glanced through it."
