First, a very young, well-dressed boy ran out from around the side of one of the mansions on 8th Street. He was carrying a well-endowed Super Soaker; not one of the older ones with the lozenge-shaped water-tank on the top. This gun is one of the brand-new, futuristically styled SuperSoakers, it's bright colors not dulled by sun and dirt yet.Right behind this boy came 2 other boys, a little older, equally armed, also in the similar Gap-Kids style of dress. All 3 stopped for a second, looked around, and headed to the south, running across impeccably manicured lawns, in front of equally beautiful century-old houses.The younger boys were out of sight before the next crowd appeared from behind a mansion. These boys were older, with the largest squirt guns I've seen. They did not run; they stepped from out of the shadows, looked both ways, and turned to the south, in pursuit of their khaki-clad friends.
