Chapter 2: The Weatherman, Part 2

THE PIT:

"So, the Baroness got away?"

"That is correct, Duke."

The First Sergeant turned and faced Snake Eyes.

"Scarlett?"

"What he said."

Duke sighed.

"How?"

"With all due respect, Duke, I cannot hit what I cannot see. The Baroness's escape-" Snake Eyes began

"Enough. We've got a new problem. COBRA's going to be looking for the MMD-"

"The which-what?" Scarlett asked.

Duke groaned.

"The Meteorological Manipulation Device. It was in the mission briefing."

"Oh, that weather machine." Scarlett replied.

"Yes- that. And judging from the debrief, COBRA knows where to look."

Snake Eyes snickered.

"Knowing COBRA, they're probably not going to find it. It's like a needle in a haystack, and withCOBRA's incompetence-" he began.

"Apples don't fall far from the tree. Knowing that Arclay Geo's got a warehouse in Leipzig, it's going to be there." Duke interrupted.

"Then that's where we're going." Scarlett replied.

"Let's call up a team and get going. Snake Eyes- tell Ace to saddle up and get the Tomahawk running." Duke added.
