"We got to go, and real quick. They're bringing in the heavy artillery, a flamethrower."
"If we all troop out, we're sitting ducks." Says Devin.
Bob comes running in. "They're bringing in a flamethrower."
"Thank you, we knew."
"Can't we, like, take him out?" Asks Mandy.
"If you've got a rocket launcher or a bazooka, I'll fire it." Answers Devin.
"Oh, then we have to go to the garage." Says Mandy. She leads the way. "Don't put on any lights." Says Bob. "Duh!" is all she answers.
Bob helps Clover to walk to her car. He spreads her out on the backbench. When they all are inside, Mandy goes to the right and takes out a rather heavy pack.
"Here you are Devin, an M72 aka LAW66. Is that powerful enough?" asks Mandy.
"Where did ... yeah it will do, but we don't have much time between opening the door and firing." Answers Devin.
"Can't you aim through the window?" asks Britney.
"I can try." Devin climbs in Clover's car and stands upright. "Perfect, but won't it take to much time for the garage door to open?"
"There's an emergency opening. If you activate it, the door falls flat on the ground." Answers Mandy.
"That's my job," says Britney, "as I take the motorcycle, I can speed up faster than you."
"Ok, Mandy, you, Clover and Devin in Clovers car. Britney you on the Harley and the door and Sam you drive your car and I take care of the hardware. Ready?"
Britney pushes the motorcycle close to the emergency switch. "Ready."
Devin adjusts for the last time his sight, "Ready."
"Ladies?" Asks Bob. "Ok by me," says Sam. "Let's roll," answers Mandy.
"Britney on the count." Sam and Mandy put their hand on the ignition key. "3 2 GO"
A soft explosion is heard as the hinges are blown away. The door topples over and Devin gives fire. The armoured car explodes. The Napalm from the flamethrower is setting the neighbourhood in fierce red flames. The cars and the Harley come to live and race out the garage. A few shots are heard, but by the time the attackers are aware what happened, the spies are far away.
"That was fairly easy." Comments Mandy, driving fast towards Whoop HQ.
"We've only just started Mandy, we've only just started." Comments Devin.
"Could you ride a bit softer please, I'm not that comfortable you know," complains Clover. Devin looks around. The wound started bleeding heavier again. Shit he left the blood packs at Mandy's. He sits down. "Mandy can you speed up? Otherwise it will be too late for Clover."
It's as if the car sprouts wings. Devin, who is used to fast driving, is wondering whether he shouldn't put on his safety belt. But Mandy is an experienced driver. Bob, Devin and Britney are discussing how to enter Whoop. On a code blue only very limited entrances are available. "Here to the right," shouts Devin. "But that's a dead end," cries Mandy, her foot releases the gas, when a door slides open. A short brake and a controlled slip and they are driving through Whoops tunnelled network. Sam is right behind her, but Britney is nowhere to be seen.
"Devin, where's Britney?" "They spotted her, she used anti-gravity to jump the wall. She'll come by later." Mandy's eyes fill with tears. She knows what this means. Britney is leading the others to a wild goose chase. Yet another victim. She slows down and stops.
"Devin, take over will you?" "Ok, Mandy." Mandy puts the passenger seat in his most forward position and sits on the ground next to Clover. Their eyes meet.
"Hey friend how is the pain?" Clover can't help but smiling. Here they are Bev. Hills High arch-enemies fleeing elite killers. Mandy grabs a soft drink from the built-in cooler, opens it and softly pours a little bit in Clovers mouth. "Thanks Mandy I needed that." Mandy takes a sip as well. The girls smile a wry smile. "Do you think it's over Clover?" But Clover has passed out.
"You are now in the blue zone" suddenly blares the car's stereo system. At once Devin activates communications. "Jerry, we have a heavy casualty on board. Clover's right arm is almost severed from her body. She had a considerable loss of blood. Surgery will be necessary." The moment Jerry heard there was a casualty he linked his receiver on sickbay. "Sam is also wounded on her elbow. I don't know how bad, but she can't use it properly."
Whoops medical team goes to action. The operation room was being prepared, the surgeon controls his instruments all runs smoothly. The medical staff is directed to the entrance through which they will enter.
