Jim-Bean guessed blowing up ABC was right up Bass’ alley.  As for Jenkins, he undoubtedly hoped blowing up ABC would be right up Fiona’s alley.Sure enough, they picked up Guppy just before getting on the road.  Hammer was careful to leave Guppy in front of the Samson police station just in case.Fiona drove.  Jim-Bean sat in the passenger seat.“You got any weapons?” asked Jim-Bean.Fiona shook her head.  “Just pepper spray.”Guppy rubbed his eyes.  “As dangerous as I know you are with that, I think I can help.”  He opened up his jacket. There were sticks of C-4 along with detonators.The others gasped. “Where did you get that much explosives?” asked Dwight.“Oh I carry it with me,” said Guppy nonchalantly, patting a bulky satchel. Dwight and Keith exchanged glances but kept their mouths shut.“Here,” said Jim-Bean.  “I’ve got a few weapons you can use.” He handed his Glock 18C to Keith.  “Be careful with it.”Keith took it gingerly and nodded.“What have you got for me?” asked Fiona.Jim-Bean pulled a Smith and Wesson Model 29 revolver out of his bag. “That’ll do,” she said.“I don’t think…”Fiona, one hand on the wheel, snatched the heavy revolver from Jim-Bean.  With a flick of her thumb and snap of her wrist, she opened the chamber, glanced down to ensure it was loaded, then snapped the cartridge back in and spun it.  She shoved it into one of her boots. “I thought you didn’t know how to use guns?” asked Guppy.“I said I don’t HAVE any guns,” Fiona corrected him.  “I didn’t say I don’t know how to USE guns.”Jim-Bean looked around the seat at Guppy, out of Fiona’s field of view, and mouthed, “Wow!”“What about me?” asked David.“You’ll be fine,” snapped Jim-Bean.  “Just stay behind me.”“Hold on tight boys,” said Fiona.  “It’s gonna be a long ride.”She hit the gas.</blockquote>
