Parliament of the Streets (Tales of the Thief-City)

With gang tensions approaching breaking point all over the city, the last thing Rax wants is to be caught in the middle. When a debt comes due he doesn't have a choice, and the only solution may be to find the person responsible, or at least to survive the changes to the city.
Sixth in the Tales of the Thief-City series. A 7,000 word short story.
