"An airfield?" asked Spade. "You sure?"
"Pretty sure, I saw a few jet planes and choppers. The only thing is…"
"The only thing is what?" demanded Spade.
"We have to get to an Air Force base."
"Are you fucking crazy, Punisher?!" screamed Spade. "A goddamn Air Force Base?!"
"You should know about sneaking onto bases, Snypa."
Spade gaped at the Punisher for moment, then sighed.
"Fine, let's go," Spade finally agreed. "If we get caught, you're dead meat."
He opened the passenger door and got in the car. The two vigilantes moved toward an Air Force base.
The vigilantes parked a few yards from the base and exited the car. Castle opened the trunk of the car and handed Spade a grenade launcher.
"What the fuck?" asked Spade. "No killing. We're not at Crime Central."
Castle smirked and showed Spade the grenade launcher's ammo. 40 mm stun.
"I know. I don't kill innocents," said Castle.
"What else you got?" asked Spade.
Castle smirked again and handed Spade a 12-gauge pump-action loaded with weighted beanbags, a weapon of choice used by police officers when a standoff can be ended without bloodshed.
"I'm surprised at you, Frank," said Spade with a shock. "And here I thought you were a cold-hearted bastard, but I guess you do have your soft side."
"This is only for missions that don't require bullets," replied Castle. "And take that damn mask and trench coat off. Not gonna need 'em."
Castle removed his jacket, as well as Spade did along with his mask.
"One more thing," said Castle, handing Spade some clips. "Take out the clips you got now and load your pistols with blanks. We want to stun these guys, not kill 'em."
Spade unloaded his current clips and reloaded with the blank-filled clips. The vigilante pair was prepared, but there was a problem…
"How the hell we are gonna get in?" asked Spade. "It's not like we can just come in through the front gate."
Castle eyed an 18-wheeler parked a few feet from them and grinned.
"Or maybe we can."
