Dark*Matter: Discovery, The Chicago Ripper

[kinem]

Diego looks around as well. "The dead guy had an earpiece. The guy who detonated the bomb might have just heard us through the mike.

In any case I think this was a trap for us. There were no clues in there. The real clue is that they know who we are. They picked Ricky because I once knew him!"

OOC: I'm starting my new job tomorrow, but I don't have the internet hooked up yet at my new place of residence so it may be a few days before I can post again.

OOC

It's all good, I'm sure we all understand.

Meredith jerks away from the window as the robed man falls off, nearly losing her grip on the gun.

"Oh my god!" she yelps. "Oh my god, I think I killed him." She flinches as he falls under the van. "Oh god...oh god..."

It's with eagerness she backs up into the van and gets on the radio to warn Larry and Diego. A few moments pass, and she calls up, "They're okay! The trap went off, but they saw it and got out in time!" Relief pads her voice.

She gets back on to Larry and reports, "We're in pursuit of the van that they took Z in. We found the radio frequency they're talking on, and it sounds like the boss knew you were there. He might have detonated it. Uh..."

Meredith relays the radio frequency to Larry. "Maybe we can find its origin if we work together. Compare signal strengths and triangulate...hell, I don't know. It's been a hell of a chase so far..." she winces as Cade accelerates and tries some crazy cop move to try to knock the target out of control.

"Diego, you started picking up some tech skills with Cade. You handle it. I'll drive." As they return to their vehicle he adds, "You might want to let the Institute know about the explosion as well, we might need them to cover our backs with the cops."

 

[Falkus]

OOC: All right, I'm back. I've got my new high speed internet set up, and I'll be posting IC later today, once I get some other chores done.

Just an advisory, due to my new job, from here on out, I'll really only be able to post in the game in early mornings and evenings EST on weekdays.

Diego calls in. After speaking on the phone he tells Larry "There's something else going down right now. Z's been kidnapped and the others are in hot pursuit."

On the phone he asks "Where should we go now? Can we help?"

 

[Falkus]

Unfortunately, Cade was unable to narrow the distance between the SUV and the Van. Up ahead, the van crossed a drawbridge over the Chicago river, and braked as it crossed. The reason for this quickly became apparent. Another man in robes ran from the control booth and leapt into the van, and the bridge started to rise.

Tracing the signal didn't achieve much, aside from determining that wherever Cliff was, it wasn't in Chicago.

 

[Friadoc]

"D@mm it!" swears Cade as he jams down the accelerator. "Hang onto your hats!"

Maybe it was too many years watching the Dukes of Hazzard as a kid, but Cade guns it in an attempt to make it to the bridge and jump the gap.

OOC

Yeap, another action point. If it seems like the attempt would fail, Cade will do his best to stop, however if there is a chance the jump would work, he'll commit to it.

 

[Falkus]

In the SUV's current condition, there's no way it would make the jump in one piece, unless flaming fireball of agenty death counted as one piece. He pulled to a stop, with several cars of Chiacago's finest stopping too, and the cultists disappear into the distance.
