Johan... out..." he hisses out. Cosmo uses extra effort to gain +2 to natural strength in order to lift the slab enough for someone to get Johan out.  Johan is still pinned. New York - MethesdaStraightjacketStephanie scans behind her to make sure nobody is listening to her, and gestures you forward.  You lean over the counter and she whispers, "Well, I'm not supposed to talk about office stuff, but I kinda thought it was weird sending trucks out for delivery during rush hour.  We usually schedule deliveries in off hours to avoid traffic, or ship by train or boat.  Maybe when your friends go to talk to Ms. Henry, you should stay out here.  We could sneak into the filing room," she says conspiritorially. The door behind you bangs closed as Rebound, Sanjay and Monica finally come inside. EveryoneA few minutes turn to five.  Five minutes turn to ten.  Ten minutes turn to twenty.  Stephanie checks often with Ms. Henry, repeatedly appologizing for the delay and assuring you it shouldn't be long as she chats and flirts with Straightjacket non-stop. Straighjacket, you find out that Stephanie is a hugely outdoorsy type.  Camping, hiking, fishing, skying and especially rock climbing are her cup of tea.  You also get the feeling she just might be exceedinly wealthy, considering she apparently has access to several cabins, chalets and exclusive camping areas.  Needless to say, for you, it's a rather engaging conversation.  Even your Dad, who is leaning on the counter next to you, seems quite impressed. You are starting to get the feeling that someone is delaying.</blockquote>
