Exit 23

Nick tenses, adopts a defensive/disarming stance, and gets ready to kick ass. "I wonder what the snow globe has to do with this..."
 


Still no sign of tmart, so...


BJ slowly reaches over to the table, picking up the snow globe and is just about to toss it across to the trucker when Ben throws open the door and shoots. Ben's bullet strikes the trucker in the left arm (To Hit: 13 + 3 = 16, Damage: 8), causing the gunman's returning shot to miss Ben by several feet, punching through the wall to the left of the door.

Following quickly after Ben, Nick throws himself across the room, grabbing the trucker's arm, twisting, and pulling the pistol from his grip. (Disarm attempt: Nick beat the trucker's roll by some way :))

Now in an obviously hopeless position, the trucker quickly puts his hands up as Ben waves his revolver meaningfully in his direction.

There's a thud as BJ drops the snow globe to the floor, where it rolls around, its glass surface remarkably unscathed...

OOC: Woo! I got a gun!

Nick points his new gun at the trucker getting ready to shoot if he tries to get away.
"Who are you, and why are you here?"
 

Ben keeps the trucker covered while shouting, "Doc, can you get in here and check this guy out?"

"Nick toss me the gun and cuff his good hand to something that won't move."

"Can anybody tell me what the hell is going on here? And why is that thing so damn important," Ben nods towards the fallen snowglobe.
 

Quickly peering through the doors in the wake of Nick and Ben, Daunte waves John forward. "Looks like the coast is clear," he tells him, his chest deflating in relief. He had been holding his breath in anticipation of the strike, but it had been over in a matter of seconds. "And looks like our french friend has a thing for snowglobes," he adds meaningfully as he steps through into the diner again. Warily, he watches the trucker from a safe distance.
 

Danny pokes his head out as the gunfire quickly abates. "Good job, Ranger Bob," he says, "Looks like you got your man." At that he ducks back into the kitchen for a moment, getting a fresh pack of smokes from his jacket. He lights up and after a moment looks around semi-guiltily... "Ummm, anybody mind?" he queries.

Nick takes the cuffs and gets the man linked to something bolted down (like one of swively chairs you get in fast food places that don't move). Deciding that throwing the gun would distract Ben, he walks over (facing the trucker) and gives the gun to him.
