From the voices, I'd guess they were both 20s or at most 30s.  Both sounded more like "roaring my power at the night" voices as opposed to "killing / hurting / panicking" voices.  It sounded like I was coming from a couple blocks down Seventh Ave (the ave I live on), more or less in the middle of the street.  It's a good neighborhood, well lit and plenty of people moving around or looking out windows. even at 1:15 AM.

It's almost assuredly nothing.  And yet, what if it *is* something?  I can't see, so I have no way to know from here.  By the time I could get shoes on and get down there, it would all have been over, as the whole thing lasted maybe thirty seconds.  I'm 99.9% sure that's it's nothing...but there is that niggling 0.1%.  And this kind of thing happens multiple times a night.

Lord, it's no wonder people go nuts living in the City.
