[QUOTE="talien, post: 4391330, member: 3285"] [b]Wolves and Sheep: Prologue[/b] CHICAGO,IL--Jim-Bean shifted gears in the souped-up vehicle Majestic-12 had provided. “I’m not sure why we’re in this car,” said Guppy, strapped in with his seat belt and one palm pressed against the ceiling to prevent his head from repeatedly banging into it. “It seems a little…” “Fast?” Jim-Bean shifted again. “Hell yeah it’s fast.” “If we’re going to trace this hacker,” said Hammer, sitting next to Jim-Bean, “when we figure out where he is, we’re going to have to move quickly.” Guppy struggled to type on his cistron, no mean feat with Jim-Bean’s driving. “We traced him to this train.” He clicked a few buttons. Hammer glanced at his cistron. “The Chicago Steam Experience? He’s on an old train?” “The train is not old. It just looks old,” said Guppy. “It’s state of the art, actually.” “Should have taken a chopper,” said Hammer. “Too easy to spot,” said Jim-Bean. He yanked the wheel hard to put the car on a track parallel to the train tracks. “This is the only stretch of road that runs parallel to the train. You guys ready?” Guppy swallowed hard. “You do realize that this stretch of road ENDS?” The caboose of the train appeared ahead. Jim-Bean shifted gears. “Yeah. So when I say jump, you’d better jump, because you’re not going to get another chance.” “What about you?” asked Hammer. “What about me?” “You’re staying behind? I don’t know if we can do this with the just two of us…” Guppy trailed off at the implications. Jim-Bean smirked. “Nah. I wouldn’t miss this.” The car pulled up alongside the train, which chugged along rhythmically on the right side of the car. “But the car…?” asked Guppy. “What about it?” said Jim-Beam. Hammer shook his head in disbelief. “Guppy, you’re up.” The window rolled down on Guppy’s side. “Wait, I go first?” asked Guppy, voice rising in panic. “Guppy,” said Hammer. “We’ve been over this. Look at it this way…would you rather be last?” Ahead, the train entered a tunnel, roaring as its passage echoed in the tight confines. “Guys, we don’t have a lot of TIME here.” Guppy crawled out the window and, half leaning, lurched hard, grabbing hold of the rail on the caboose. He swung himself over, nearly falling between the two vehicles in the process. Hammer needed no prodding to go next. He clambered out the window and climbed up on top of the car. He then half-crouched on the hood. After timing the distance between the train and the car, he hurled himself across the gap. The big man landed easily on the caboose.
