Session 1: A Dim Hope
Chapter 4...
Scott listened in as the leader who had captured John did what any good person would do; conveniently reveal all of their plans.
"The Yellow Snakes have been interested in acquiring this side of the planet for a long time."
As the leader talked he walked around John, for the pitiful dramatic effect.
It made John a bit dizzy.
"We wanted to slowly grow," continued the leader, " and then overthrow the Black Hawk Syndicate, however, you had to come here and try to mess things up."
"I'll ask you one more time," John said, "How the hell did you know I was coming?"
The leader laughed and said, "Come on now, you have been with the ISSP for some time now. I would think you would know that there are a good number of people in the ISSP that would be willing to lend a hand to people like us for a fee..."
"Bastard."
"Harsh words. It doesn't really matter, after all, your not going to live any longer..."
Two shots rang out in the warehouse, and two henchmen fell to the ground holding their shoulders. Their guns clattered as they hit the ground. John saw his chance, took one of the henchmen's guns, and ran. As he ran, machine gun fire followed every one of his footsteps. John dove behind a large crate, and crouched down behind it. Machine gun fire continued to rattle the crate and the ground beside John.
"You took a while to get here," said a voice.
John looked behind him to see Scott sitting right there.
"What the hell! How the hell did you get behind me?"
"Strange way to say thanks," Scott said.
With that, Scott jumped to his feet, pulled out a gun. He took fire at the henchmen sending them running and ducking. Scott hid behind another crate next to John so he could reload.
"Why the hell are you doing this?" John yelled to Scott as he reloaded.
"It kind of a bad time for questions, you know," Scott said as he finished reloading.
"Fire in the hole!" yelled a Syndicate henchmen. Scott and John both peeked over their crates to see two grenades flying through the air towards their position.
"Damn it!" John yelled.
Scott aimed his gun at the two flying grenades. He focused his eyes on it and took two shots. Both grenades were hit and went flying back from where they came.
"You IDIOT!" John yelled.
"WHAT?" Scott yelled back.
John pointed over to the grenades that were now flying towards a collection of gas cans that were located near the door.
Scott's eyes grew very large and his mouth hung open. A small voice escaped from Scott's mouth that said, "Lets run"
"Duh!" John yelled back.
Scott and John started running towards the stairs as the screams of panicking Yellow Snake members were heard behind them. Scott grabbed the railings and catapaulted himself halfway up the stairs. John took the traditional method.
A gigantic explosion was heard, and the entire building shook. The windows where the explosion was were blown out. Bloody screams were heard all around. John and Scott grabbed on to the rails of the stairs as it started to shake. The explosions continued as they trudged up the stairs to the top of the catwalk. They kept running along the catwalk as more explosions and bloody cries were heard. They got to a window and stopped.
"The whole building is going to collapse!" John yelled, "We have to get the hell out of here."
"I'm not jumping!" Scott yelled back.
"Too bad!" John yelled back, grabbing Scott's arm and jumping out of the window.
The window blew out as John and Scott fell from the building. Glass and flames hit their jackets. Scott went to his watch and started hitting a button on it. A blue ship, in the shape of a cross, came flying out of the alleyway. It blew past garbage cans and parked itself right underneath the two falling men.
"ARRGGHHH" John yelled out as he hit the window on the cockpit. Scott followed in similar suit.
"What the hell happened," John groaned as he lay on the window in a very uncomfortable postion
Scott layed over the window in an equally unconfortable position.
"I brought my ship over to break our fall, but I forgot to open up the cockpit."
John groaned again and said, "I think you broke my damn back."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2 ships were parked out side of Martha's in the latest of nights. One looked like a corvette and the other looked like a blue cross. Inside, two men were sipping coffee, their clothes singed and slightly torn.
"So," Scott started, "now what. Are you going to try to turn me in?"
John had his eyes closed and didn't bother to open them, "You saved my ass back there, so I guess I owe you one. By the way," John finally looked up and said, "Why did you save me? Why in hell would a syndicate lowlife want to save an ISSP officer."?
"I never said I liked being a syndicate lowlife," Scott replied, "The only reason I stay with them is because I have some... business that hasn't been taken care off."
John smiled and said, "Sounds like the same old song and dance."
John stood up and said, "Listen, I've got some things I need to find out that only certain members of the Black Hawk Syndicate may know..."
This got Scott's attention. He stood up too and said, "You were right, same song and dance."
"So, how about we partner up? Why not? Both of us could use the others help..."
Scott rolled this over in his mind a bit and smiled.
"Fine then, were partners. I'm Scott Jones."
"And I'm John Mann," he said, extending his hand.
They shook on it.
