Nick will also draw his gun, but keep it below window level and out of sight as best he can.

Larry's deception works, and the man with the gun glances up the street at Duffmann's approaching vehicle, giving Diego, Nick and Cade time to produce their firearms, which, of course, draws his attention back to you.
He raises his gun to fire at Cade, but Diego and Cade shoot first. The bullets impact on his chest, and he involuntarily squeezes the trigger early, firing a three round burst that takes out the van's back window. The man collapses backwards, and something very strange happens. As he falls, his body literally dissolves into dust. By the time he reaches the ground, there's nothing left indicating his presence aside from his gun, and a small pile of sand.
The Black SUV pulls to a stop, and Duffmann exits, holding a surpressed SIG-Sauer P228. "What the hell is going on?" he demands.
[sblock]Diego and Cade both hit, for 8 and 10 damage respectively[/sblock]

That was close. In a shaky voice he adds, "Thanx, guys. I'm guessing he was one of the bad guys."
Turning towards the Duffman, Larry once again is confronted by a gun. Not something he was particularly enjoying, he speaks up in an intimidating and impacient voice. "Unless you want us to feed you that gun, point it somewere else. I've had enough of threats today." Finally getting out of the car, Larry continues moving belligerently towards the Freemason. "I'll speak slowly so that you can understand. That pile of dust there, just pulled a gun on me. My boys here took care of him. Permanently. (Intimidate +8) Now for the important part: If he's got any other friends I doubt we'll keep the element of surprise after the gunfire. For some reason, he didn't want us to go in there. That's more than enough reason not to rush in waving a gun like a goon. We need a plan. I say you take you're men and enter from the rear of the building, we'll take the entrance. Cade, set up some Comm equipment so that we can talk to our new friends. (Diplomacy +8)"
OOC: Larry first is emphasizing the team's ruthlessnes and deadly efficency to the Freemasons, so that they will doubt the effectivenss of trying to double cross us. He'll then try to get into a commanding position in this operation.

oO Lords of Sand? Oo thinks Cade as he looks at the follow, not to mention disassembled, foe. However, the young man quickly snaps to the immediate situation and holsters his weapon, after using the decocker.
"Comms," says Cade with a nod. "On it."
Although Cade already had a comm package setup for the group, as secure as he could make it on short notice, he'll also add an option to that package so that they can switch to a channel and talk with the Freemasons.
"We're on comms 3 on the 172.3 Mhz," says Cade as he hands a hunt to Duffmann. "That's narrow band, should keep the listeners out."

Meredith gapes for a moment, then quickly gets a baggie out of her purse and gets out of the van. She goes to the pile of sand and...careful not to touch any...scoops some up with the baggie's lip, then seals it and tucks it away.
"These must be the conquerors and slaves she warned us about," the reporter mutters, shading her eyes as she peers at the motel. "They are the enemy."

"Easy, buddy," Duffmann said to Larry. "Just saw the gunfire, and so naturally, pulled my own. You're right though. We’ll take the back, shouldn’t be a problem." He spared a glance for the remains of the hostile. "You see the damndest things in this job."
Once Cade provided the comms info, Duffmann nodded, then touched an almost invisible earpiece, and turned back to see. "You got that, Franks?" he said. His headset was a lot smaller then any currently available on the market. You wouldn’t have even noticed it if you didn’t see him use it.
"All right, we’re good," he started to say, and then a neat row of red dots appeared on his chest, followed, just an instant later, by the distinctive sound of an automatic nine millimeter weapon firing from the second floor of the motel. The shooter was another male wearing civies, and he was firing from the shattered window on the second floor. Duffmann collapsed against the side of your van, dropping his gun, and leaving a bloody smear on the door as he slumped to the ground.
A third man appeared at the door of the motel, using the frame as cover. He aimed at Meredith as she was examining the remains of the first man, and fired a burst from his pistol. The bullets shattered the window of the van behind her, barely missing her head.

"Sonofva...! We've got shooters on the first and second floors!", shouts Cade as he moves to interpose himself between the doorway shooter and Meredith. Then, fully aware that the Freemasons should be on-comms, Cade says into his comm-unit, "Franks, Duffmann's shooter is on the second floor, out of the shatter window."
Cade opens fire on the man in the doorway, while using the minivan for cover and, hopefully, shielding Meredith.
"Meredith, get down and check n Duffmann," shouts Cade over his shoulder.
