"I don't think I like this..." Charlie said nervously

Jessie looked up from the mess of wires in front of her.

"This things a joke, security system indeed. Don't worry

Charlie-girl I could disable this with my eyes closed."

"That's not what I meant." Charlie replied "I was talking

about that." She pointed at the 500ft drop below them.

"Oh," Jess shrugged "Don't worry about that either, my bike

just got new tires."

Charlie looked back over the side of the bike and clung a

little tighter to the hand-holds. The bike, vertically

positioned on the side of the building was the only thing

preventing her from becoming street pizza and she intended to

keep it that way.

"That should do it," Jessie said sliding off the hood of the

bike and slipping back into the driver's position. "I'm surprised

at Limburger, I mean that was laughable."

"I guess with the guys captured he's pretty cocky at the

moment." Charlie offered

"Humph," Jessie muttered kicking the bike into gear and

heading to the top of the building. "You'd think he'd learn by

now."

"Wouldn't you?" Charlie smirked, relieved when the bike

finally crested over the top and they were once again on a solid

surface.

The rooftop was bathed in darkness as Jessie killed the

headlight on her bike. The two women slipped over to the skylight

and peered inside. The night lights of the museum washed the

interior in dull gray tones.

"I see something...."Jess muttered pressing her nose almost

to the glass.

"I can't see a thing," Charlie shook her head frowning.

"Hmmm," Jessie pushed back and stared at the glass. "Maybe we

should get a closer look. Bike thin laser, curricular pattern

about," She glanced to Charlie as if sizing her up. "About

30inch diameter."

A laser cannon popped up from the bikes weapons and cut a

small hole to Jessie's specific directions. Jessie quickly stuck

her hand through the hole and grabbed the circular piece of

glass before it could fall to the museum floor. She laid it

carefully on the rooftop.

"Now what?" Charlie asked

"Now we find out what happened to the guys." Jessie exclaimed

Slipping herself feet first through the hole, she held onto the

edge of the glass then gracefully dropped to the museum floor.

Staying crouched she glanced around, satisfied that she was

alone she waved for Charlie to follow.

Charlie looked down through the hole to Jessie. "She's got to

be kidding." Charlie muttered

"Common," Jessie hissed "It looks further then it is."

"It looks far enough for me to break my neck!" Charlie hissed

back

"Your the one who insisted coming along, so are you coming

or what??"

Charlie took a deep breath and nodded. Mimicking Jessie's

earlier demonstration she let herself drop to the museum floor

and promptly landed flat on her ass.

"Owww!" She whispered loudly

Jessie shook her head "Remind me when this is over to give

you some lessons, your making the female gender look bad."

Charlie got to her feet rubbing her postier "Give me a

break," She muttered "I'm new at this."

The two slipped along the hallways, staying in shadows and

carefully peering around every corner. Finally they came upon a

large circular room.

"Wonder what old cheese-butts putting in here?" Jess moved up

to the curtains and moved one aside. Little Hoss looked back

minus one engine which was sitting on the block in front of it as

if a show piece. "Oh shit!" Jessie muttered.

"You can say that again." Charlie replied Jess turned around

to see Charlie reviling the other two bikes in similar repair.

"The guys are gonna have a fit!"

"I was hoping on them for back up." Jessie admitted "Think

you can get um back together?" Jessie asked her

Charlie looked thoughtful for a moment before nodding "I just

need...." She looked about till her eyes landed on a piece of

equipment. "That!" She grinned "It's gonna take some time

though." She said seriously.

Jessie removed her gun from her holster and handed it to

Charlie. "Then you get to work, I'm gonna see if I can find the

guys."

"But.." Charlie protested.

"We don't have time to argue," Jessie said angrily "If

Limburger did this to the bikes you think he'd have any problems

doing the same to the guys?"

Charlie's protests died on her lips. "Just be careful huh?"

"Don't worry about me," Jessie grinned "I can take care of

myself."
