[QUOTE="talien, post: 4142136, member: 3285"] [b]Faint Transmissions: Part 1 – The Railroad Tracks[/b] HOLLYWOOD, CA -- The railroad crossing was located in a once-prosperous neighborhood that was home to some light industry in its heyday. But times had changed, and the industry had moved away, leaving a struggling business district populated by Laundromats, dry cleaners, appliance repair shops, pawnshops, thrift stores, and corner markets. A black AM General Hummer was driving towards the tracks. It had a business logo emblazoned on its sides that read “Organized Productions.” “What are you doing?” shouted Guppy. “We have to stop that hummer,” said Blade. “How?” asked Guppy. But he didn’t need to ask. Blade drove the van directly into the Hummer’s path. The Hummer tried to veer around them, but Blade was moving too fast. The two vehicles locked bumpers. Windows rolled down and two burly men with pointed pistols at them. “WHAT is going on out there you morons?” said a shrill voice from the back of the Hummer. “Don’t you KNOW how to drive?” “Stay down Mister Vanvon,” said one of the bodyguards. Pistol fire ricocheted off the front of the van. “Uh, now what?” asked Guppy. “I didn’t have a plan beyond this,” admitted Blade. Guppy looked out the window. “You may want to think up something fast.” There was the unmistakable horn of an oncoming train. Blade threw the van into reverse. The wheels squealed, but they couldn’t get any traction. Vanvon’s Hummer was pulling in reverse too. “We’re going to get pulled into the train’s path!” shouted Guppy. “I KNOW THAT,” said Blade through gritted teeth. Guppy took out his laser pistol from the pocket of his pajamas. “Good thing I sleep with this thing under my pillow.” He rolled down the window, ducking as another bullet ricocheted off the van’s trim. The train’s horn blared again, closer this time. Taking careful aim, Guppy sliced a thin beam between the fenders of the two cars. They abruptly jerked free at the last minute as the train roared between them. Guppy sagged, panting. “That was close!” Blade turned the van around and took off as the train clack-clacked between the two vehicles. “What I want to know is why the emergency crossing lights didn’t go off.” Guppy rubbed his forehead. “Why did we do this again?” [/QUOTE]
