Dark*Matter: Discovery, The Chicago Ripper

[Friadoc]

"We'll get her, sir," says Cade with convinction. "And we'll burn these sons of b#tches down, too."

"Ryker, d'ya think the boys can get a triangulation off this freq?" Cade asks as he works up an idea in his head. "They know we've got a tracer on 'em, plus the location of the van, but they don't know that we can hear their conversation...so, can we get the leader's locale?"

WHile talking Cade is still pushing his pursuit, hard and fast, hoping to chip away at the cultists' lead.

OOC

Once again, Falkus, congratz! Sounds like yoe've a cool job to look forward too.

Cade is going to drop another AP, his forth, on assisting his drive checks for the pursuit.

"Toss the gun, jackass. We've got you covered. This is the last chance." In a crouch Larry extends his gun, ready to fire at the first indication that the man isn't surrendering.


OOC:

Unless the guy tosses the gun, Larry is ready to shoot him when he has a clean shot.

 

[kinem]

Diego readies to fire, then duck back around the doorframe, if the man attempts to pop up over the couch without surrendering.

There might be a chance in hell that he'll surrender. Not going to happen here on Earth though.

ooc: Holy using my own background against me, Batman!

Nick freezes, as if he'd seen a ghost--or heard one, as the case may be. He can feel the bile rising up through his throat and he swallows hard, trying to keep his breakfast down. His fists clinch, not in anger, but to hide their trembling, and images from his past suddenly come rushing back, flooding his memory like a torrential rain.

To others it was a barely audible whisper. To Nick, it was a lightning bolt going off inside of his head when he said, "I know that voice."

 

[Shayuri]

Meredith looked at Nick, doubletaking. Then she leaned over and touched his shoulder.

"Who?" she asked urgently. "If you know his name, we can nail him. We'll have the Institute run a search. Who is he?"

 

[Falkus]

Cade guns the engine of the SUV, and cuts through traffic, as the cultists slow down as they try to navigate without hitting anything. As a result, Cade manages to cut the lead down to fifty feet. Sirens in the distance indicate the arrival of the Chicago Police on the scene.

As Cade gets closer to the van, the back doors swing open. Two cultists with AK-47s are standing there, and they open fire on the SUV. The first cultists misses, but the second manages to pump a five round burst into the engine. Omnious black smoke is starting to come out of the engine block.

Screaming, the man behind the couch stands up. He's a young male, dressed in robes, and he's holding an AK-47. He's screaming various obscenities, coupled with various religious terminology on the how the dark will overcome the forces of light.

Larry and Diego plug him twice in the chest, and his screaming cuts off, and he falls to the ground.

"Nice shot, Diego. Report to the office what we've found, then let's check the rest of the house, make sure there's noone else around." With those words Larry moves to the fallen cultist and searches him for clues. He doesn't take long and joins Diego in sweeping the rest of the house. After making sure the house is clear they'll search more carefully for clues, careful not to disturb the scene too much.

Meredith looked at Nick, doubletaking. Then she leaned over and touched his shoulder.

"Who?" she asked urgently. "If you know his name, we can nail him. We'll have the Institute run a search. Who is he?"

Nick barely shakes his head; his eyes are focused on nothing, as if he is looking right through Meredith. He finds his voice, but barely; it is parched and raspy. "Cliff. They won't find anything. It's Cliff Kenzington."

As Meredith reaches to call it in, he grabs her arm, life finally coming back to his eyes. "He was my best friend," she can see the tears begin to well. "I thought he was dead." He lets go of her hand to keep the tear from falling down his cheek.

"They couldn't have been right," he says more to himself than to Meredith. "They couldn't have been."

 

[Friadoc]

"Guys, this is touching and all," Cade shouts as he tries to maneuver the SUV into a safer line of attack while returning fire on the attackers from the van. "But do you think you could return their fire!"

OOC

Yeap, another action point, simply because they're so needed right now. 5th one down, going for the gold!

Cade's AP is spent on his drive, thusly giving him the edge so he can shoot and fire.

Diego takes a look at the dead man; he tries to determine if the man is dead. "He's not someone I recognize, at least."

If the man is done for as he thinks, he will call in as Larry asked and search the house.
