Chapter 14

New Plan

Road Rover headquarters, 20:55 hours

Steel stood wide eyed, staring at Charlie, he had bugged the whole base but heard no info on Charlie." What the heck are you doing here?" Steel asked, his eyes still wide as saucers.

I would be asking you the same." Charlie said.

Steel cocked his head." What are you talking about?" Steel asked.

I mean what you're doing now, being a merc I assume." Charlie replied.

I'm just doing my job." Steel said.

Oh, and part of that job is putting your own son in a cell?" Charlie asked in a very serious tone.

Steel's eye's widened." You have exactly 15 seconds to tell me how you figured that out." Steel said.

I over heard your son talk about it to who I'm guessing is his girlfriend." Charlie replied.

Well, that's none of your business, and I suggest you get the heck out of dodge before I put you in there with him." Steel said, then he started to walk away.

Is that truly who you are, Steel?" Charlie asked, causing Steel to stop." If it is, then my friend you have changed beyond all repair.

Steel stood there for a moment." A lot of things have changed." Steel replied without turning around to face Charlie.

Is that how you feel?" Charlie asked.

Then Steel turned around and walked towards Charlie." Listen, there's nothing I can do, and even if there was I wouldn't do it." Steel said.

Is that actually or are you just telling yourself that?" Charlie asked.

Steel sighed and hung his head and closed his eyes, after what seemed like an hour to Steel(but in reality it was more like 20 seconds), he raised his head up, he looked left, then he looked right, as if he were trying to see if anyone was around." What are you do-?"

I cant' help you, I can't tell you the lock on the rovers cell door is not electric." Steel interrupted, then he pulled a grenade pen out of a grenade on a ling he was wearing and slid it across the floor." I can't tell you that you could use this grenade pen to pick the lock on the cell door." Then Steel pulled off the grenade he pulled the pin out of off his sling." I should on the other hand tell you that this grenade is a live explosive." Then he threw the grenade down an air vent." It also has a delay fuse, but back on to the original conversation. I can't tell you that once you pick the locks the rovers can go down the hall way then to the left and get to a big door that says armory and get their weapons back, I shouldn't tell you that if you go back down a hall way to the right and get to the exit, I really shouldn't be telling you that the guards that are supposed to be there are not, I'm sorry, I just can't help you." Steel finished with a huge grin on his face.

Well if you can't help me, you can't help me." Charlie replied with a grin of his own.

Good luck." Steel said, then he started to walk away but stopped after a few steps." oh and one more thing, you'll probably need some back up.

Way ahead of ya." Another voice from the shadows said.

Good, be careful Charlie, you too Itchy." Steel said.

Then Itchy walked out of the shadows." How did you know it was me?" Itchy asked.

Lucky guess, now get a move on before someone sees you." Steel said.

Got it, come on Itchy." Charlie said.

Right behind ya." Itchy replied, then they walked away.

Good luck." Steel said when they were out of ear shot, then he walked away as well.

Meanwhile, a UH-60G Blackhawk helicopter just arrived at the rover base." Who the heck is that?" A cano-mutant asked.

The chopper landed and the door opened up and Sampson walked out of the chopper and the mutants immediately saluted." As you were." Sampson said, then the mutants stopped saluting and Sampson walked past them, he walked into the head quarters and ran into Steel.

Sampson, what are you doing here?" Steel asked.

I'm here to accept the check Parvo owes me." He replied, then he leaned closer." And to also make sure you stay in line." Sampson said.

You don't have to worry about anything sir." Steel replied, then Sampson walked past him." Not yet at least." Steel said with a grin, then he walked with Sampson to get the check that Parvo was paying them.

Meanwhile, the rovers were just sitting in their cells, thinking of some way to escape, Hunter being the one thinking the most, Blitz being the one whou thought nothing(Why does that not surprise me)." Any plans Huntie?" Colleen asked.

Hunter sighed." None." Hunter replied.

Well this is worse than the time I was thrown into a pool filled with molasses." Boom-a-Rang said.

Huh?" The rovers said in unison.

Little did they know that Charlie and Itchy walked into the room and were approaching the cells." Anyone here interested in a brake out?" Charlie asked.

Charlie?" The rovers said in unison.

That's my name don't ware it out." Charlie replied.

Good to see you Charlie." Hunter said.

The feelings mutual, now let's bust you guys out of here, Itchy you're on look out." Charlie said.

You can count on me." Itchy replied.

Good, now let's get to work." Charlie said, then he pulled out the grenade pen and started to pick the lock, after a few minutes, the lock refused to unlock.

You almost done there Charlie?" Itchy asked.

I'm working on it." Charlie replied.

Then all the sudden Steel walked into the room noticed they were having trouble with the lock and walked over to the door." Uh Charlie." Hunter said noticing Steel.

Hang on, I think I've almost got it." Charlie replied." Curse me not having thumbs.

Uh Charlie I really think you should know this." Hunter said as Steel got closer.

Hang on I think I've almost got it." Charlie replied.

Steel bent down." I don't that's gonna work." Steel said

What do you think will?" Charlie asked.

Then Steel pulled out a silenced pistol." You might wanna stand back." Steel said.

Then Charlie stood back and Steel pointed his pistol right at the lock and fired two shots into it and then he opened the door being carful not to touch the electrified part of the door, then he went down the section of cells and shot all the cell doors open." Um...thanks." Hunter said.

No problem, now hit me." Steel said.

Huh?" Hunter asked.

I need to make it look like you got out and you beat me up, that way they don't suspect anything." Steel replied.

But I can't hit you right now you're not doing anything to me." Hunter said.

I'll do it." Boom-a-Rang said, then he punched Steel right in the face and Steel fell to the ground.

Are you alright?" Hunter asked.

I'm fine just get the heck out of dodge." Steel said.

Hunter nodded, then he turned to his teammates and said." Let's hit the road rovers!"

Then the rovers gave a group howl and went off to try and escape.

What was up with Steel? Well you'll have to wait a little while cause me and my family are going on vacation and I won't be able to update for a while, but I really hope you guys enjoy this chapter. Please R&R. God bless and keep moving forward
