Claire was helping to organize the site for the possible victims of
the attack.
"Hello?"
"Claire, we've learned what type of chemicals they are planning to
use." Eberts explained what he'd learned.
"That should be very helpful Eberts thank you. How are you feeling?
Should you be at work?" Claire knew he had to still be a bit weak
from his surgery.
"I'm fine. Alex is on her way to the airport with the counteragent.
That was quick thinking on your part, to have her stop and pick the
counteragent up for Darien."
"Thank you I hope he doesn't need it."
"I'll keep in touch with everyone and let you know what's happening."
Eberts promised.
"Alright, we'll be ready."

Darien had turned over the second sight the terrorists had set up
their explosives to the police rescue team. He was on his way to meet
Bobby and search for the third batch. He was cutting through the
terminal and noticed there was a place near the end of terminal two
that sold those big pretzels.
"Bobby where are you?"
"I'm near the baggage area of the second terminal. I can't find where
the stuff is hidden."
Darien joined Bobby, " For this stuff to make the most impact it
would have to spread out and let the vapor drift through the terminal
right?"
"Right Partner, good thinking we need to look higher." Bobby started
to examine the ceiling tiles.
"We need to look at the ventilation for this part of the terminal."
Bobby headed for the door for the outside.
Darien followed him to the roof of, the terminal where the searched
for anything suspicious. Darien could see the traffic jam that had
been created to prevent more of the public from reaching the airport.
"Damn, it's not up here either." Bobby cursed after searching all the
vent pipes and the huge cooling pump for the air conditioning.
"I think we need more guys to look for this one." Darien told his
partner.
"Yeah, I'll see if Chen can send some of his people to help." Bobby
flipped open his cell phone.
"Oh, Crap!" Darien was climbing down from the roof when the sound of
a explosion shook the building.
Bobby pocketed his phone and raced back inside the terminal. People
were running in every direction, there was a hole in the wall near
the ticket counter and liquid spilled all over the floor.
"We've got to neutralize this stuff, we need baking soda." Bobby
yelled to Darien.
"I've got an idea." Darien sprinted to the concession area and jumped
over the counter of the pretzel place. "I need baking soda fast!"
"It's on the shelf in the stockroom." A young woman pointed to the
top shelf.
Darien grabbed both boxes of baking soda from the top shelf and
jumped back over the counter. "Evacuate, take as many people with you
as you can."
Bobby was covering his mouth with his handkerchief, and waving people
towards the doors. "Get out of here, it's not safe."
Darien handed Bobby one of the boxes and moved forward to spread the
baking soda. But there was a cloud hanging over the liquids on the
floor.
"Eberts said not to breath this if we could avoid it."
"Hold still a second." Darien had quick silvered himself and could
see through the vapor to spread the baking soda. He quick silvered
Bobby's eyes so he could see too.
They emptied the boxes of baking soda, and then continued to usher
people from the building. The Hazardous Material guys arrived and
finished the job, with their special equipment.
"Crap, I think I might have over done it." Darien moved to lean
against a tree in the parking lot outside the airport. He was on the
very edge quick silver madness.
Alex was arriving at the airport just as everything was going down.
She heard the explosion and rode the bike as close to the building as
possible. She saw Bobby waving people away from the terminal. But she
didn't spot Darien anywhere.
"Bobby where is Darien?"
"Alex? He was right behind me." Bobby turned to look for his partner
and spotted him slumped under the tree.
Alex saw him at the same time.
"Darien I've got the counteragent, do you need a shot?" Alex moved
towards him.
Darien lifted his head, his eyes were red, he glared at her. "Shot
you're not getting near me with a needle."
Bobby and Alex moved forward to block him from running from them.
"Easy now there Partner."
