Summary of the battleground shift

ohn Renshaw has just returned from Florida where he assassinated the president of a toy company. Renshaw picks up a package on his way to his apartment and carefully opens it once alone. The package is from the same toy company his victim owned and contains a set of toy soldiers, complete with tanks, helicopters, and missiles. The package begins to move on its own and releases its contents, which are animated. Suddenly Renshaw realizes he is under attack by tiny soldiers. The bullets they are firing are minuscule, but draw blood just the same. Renshaw cannot believe what is happening at first, but then begins to fight the soldiers. Renshaw cannot stop them all at once, so he is forced to seek refuge in the bathroom.
