[QUOTE="talien, post: 4397925, member: 3285"] [b]Wolves and Sheep: Part 5 – The Baggage Cart[/b] A few naked bulbs hanging from the roof lit the baggage cart. They didn’t so much provide illumination as make the darkness clearer. There were five big shelves in the center of the cart that looked like bookshelves in a library, all packed with suitcases and packages and bags. Resting in a rough pile in the back corner were several large wooden crates, piled up. Shotgun fire answered Jim-Bean’s initial retort. The three agents returned fire. Even Guppy squeezed off a few shots from his Beretta. “Not the same without your zip gun, eh?” asked Jim-Bean. Guppy couldn’t believe how calm Jim-Bean was under fire. He was shaking from just firing the pistol. He caught a glimpse of a man furiously typing behind the crates. He was bleeding from a bullet that had grazed him in the shoulder. “Kevin Medroff?” Guppy exclaimed. Hammer ducked back behind a nearby crate. “Is that supposed to mean something?” “He’s a programmer from InifiniCredit.” Guppy fired a few more shots around the crate. “Released millions of credit card numbers to the Internet. A real anarchist.” “How much time do we have left?” asked Jim-Bean. Guppy checked his cistron. “Two minutes. Then we’ll be on the other side of the tunnel and Medroff will have a clear signal.” “We’ve got to stop this train.” With a roar, Jim-Bean charged down the corridor. He almost made it. A shotgun blast hit him in the back as he passed the Goravich brothers. Jim-Bean crumpled in front of the door. “Jim!” shouted Hammer. With a snarl, he squeezed off a series of well-placed shots from his Glock. “Jim is down!” Jim-Bean was laying right next to Medroff. The hacker peered down at him with a sneer. “SAS my ass,” he muttered. Then he went back to typing. Jim-Bean’s eyes flicked open. He sat up behind Medroff and, smoothly drawing his silenced pistol, shot him in the head. Jim-Bean picked up his machinegun and yanked open the door to the engine. When he opened it, he came eye-to-eye with a shotgun. “All your buddies are dead,” said Jim-Bean. “I killed them. Stop the train.” There was a moment of indecision in the puffy Italian’s eyes. Then he dropped the shotgun and grabbed the lever. Jim-Bean leveled his machinegun at the mobster’s head. “Stop the train before we leave the tunnel.” “There’s no way,” said the mobster. “Trains don’t stop that fast.” As if to support his claim, daylight streamed through the windows. Jim-Bean swore and smashed the man in the face with his rifle butt. The mobster went down. [/QUOTE]
