[QUOTE="talien, post: 4454080, member: 3285"] [b]Belly of the Beast: Prologue[/b] DETROIT, MI – Hammer strode over to the SWAT team chief, flashing his CIFA badge. “What have we got?“ “A transit bus in downtown Detroit completed its normal route to and from the local shopping center,” reported the chief, Masters. “Three men got on the bus that looked just like any other passenger. Except that they were wearing C4 and armed with machine pistols.” “How many people are on it?” asked Jim-Bean, looking surprisingly fresh despite their recent ordeal. “Twenty,” said Masters. “We’ve got four snipers on ‘em. Take a look.” He handed Jim-Bean binoculars. The bus was at the center of a swarm of police cars. The sides of the bus were filled with hostages: the terrorists forced them to put their hands against the windows so they acted as human shields. Before Hammer could respond, a handsome dark-skinned man in a black trench coat interrupted the conversation. "We'll take it from here." “Who are you?” asked Masters skeptically. "Special Agent Tucker," said the man, flashing his CIFA badge. "My men have been called in on this case.” Hammer and Jim-Bean looked at each other. “Who is this guy now?” asked Jim-Bean. “Let me see that badge,” said Hammer. Tucker dutifully handed it over. A scan of Hammer’s cistron confirmed he was legit. He nodded towards Hammer and Jim-Bean, as if they were his men. “You said you have snipers stationed?" Masters nodded. "Good. Take 'em out. These guys aren't interested in negotiating." “I’m not so sure that’s a good idea,” began Masters. “My men are good, but if they miss even one of the terrorists, everyone’s dead.” “Agent Jim-Bean here can help.” Hammer snatched the megaphone away from the chief before Tucker could grab it. He handed it to Jim-Bean. Jim-Bean looked agog. “What the hell am I supposed to do with this?” “You’re a negotiator, right?” asked Hammer. “Negotiate. Buy us some time.” “I’m a smooth negotiator with the LADIES,” muttered Jim-Bean. “This is a little out of my…” “Is there a problem?” asked Tucker. “If you boys can’t handle this I can have my men—“ Jim-Bean turned back to the bus. “We’re sending out a line to negotiate!” He took a folding chair, climbed past the barriers, and set it out in plain view. A phone connected to a line was zipped out to the bus. Jim-Bean sat patiently by the phone. A light flashed on the phone, indicating someone had picked up, but only silence was on the other end. “Hello? I’m the negotiator in charge here. What do you want?” “You know what we want. We want Saladin released.” Jim-Bean grunted. “Saladin, huh?” He looked over at Hammer on the other side of the barrier. “Who’s Saladin?” “A terrorist leader,” said Hammer. “Great, you know him!” said Jim-Bean. “Now we just have to work out an arrangement…” “There’s just one problem,” said Tucker, indicating Hammer with a nod of his head. “He killed Saladin.” [/QUOTE]
