"How the hell am I supposed to find these guys," SG asked herself as she jumped from rooftop to rooftop after leaving the police station, "they could be anywhere, and I have less than twelve hours, twelve hours to find a needle in a haystack, extremely unlikely." she grumbled as she arrived on a building overlooking the highway, and tried to spot any suspicious looking vehicles, but to her non-surprise she spotted nothing.
"Think Doreen, think," she said out loud as she tried to formulate a plan, and it was at times like this that she really missed Peter doing all the planning, "ok, there is one area where I know these guys have liked to hang out in the past, the Burger King on 12th street, but even if I get there and spot organization members, they'll gun it or start fighting, and that will assure that I never find their hideout." Doreen said with a sigh as she tried to formulate a possible action, but then she came up with an idea, it was risky, but it just might work.
"I want to thank you for this, Tippy." Doreen whispered in Squirrelese as she walked up to the Burger King, and sat down at a table outside the fast food joint. She had rushed home to change, and tell her squirrels about her plan, and Tippy had volunteered for this mission, despite how dangerous it was.
"It's the least I can do," the female squirrel said back, "you take care of us and treat us like family, it's the least I can do to help you out." Tippy said with a smile, and that made Doreen smile back.
"Remember, I won't be able to follow you, so you'll be on your own, please stay safe." Doreen said in a low whisper, and with a concerned look on her face, she was ok with risking her own life, but she hated to risk the lives of her squirrels, especially with how dangerous 'The Shape' could be.
"Like I said, families take care of each other." Tippy said simply as she remained hidden in the pocket of Doreen's jacket.
Roughly half an hour passed before a white minivan pulled up into the parking lot, and two mean looking customers stepped out, and Doreen saw the shape of a handgun pressed against their shirts before they adjusted them.
"Looks like we have our targets, Tippy." Doreen whispered as Tippy climbed out of her pocket and slowly began sneaking towards the minivan, whose back door was open, and she quickly reached the van and jumped inside of it, and took a hiding place under the backseat, it was dark there, so she doubted that she would be seen.
A few minutes later, the two organization members returned carrying armfuls of bagged food, and placed them on the backseat, closed the door, and got into the van and drove off.
"Good luck, Tippy." Doreen said in a low whisper as she watched the minivan drive out of sight.
Roughly three hours passed, as Doreen at there, hopefully waiting for the return on Tippy-Toe, she had confidence in Tippy, for she had been living in the city on her own for over a year before she and Doreen had meet, and Tippy knew most of the city like her own tail, but it was still a dangerous place for a squirrel, the traffic, dogs, and not very friendly people, especially at night.
Suddenly to her surprise the mini-van pulled back up and parked in the parking lot again, and the same two customers got out, and headed back into the restaurant, but Tippy snuck out the door as soon as they had turned their backs, and quickly ran to Doreen, and jumped back into her pocket.
"I'm glad your alright, Tippy." Doreen said in a caring whisper.
"I'm tempted not to tell you where these guys have been hanging out." Tippy said, and that surprised Doreen, and she could tell the female squirrel was gravely concerned.
"Tippy what's going on?" Doreen asked her squirrel friend.
Tippy sighed, before deciding to answer, "Their leader was talking about polluting the cities water supply tonight, but he also said this is only step two." she informed Doreen, and that made her nervous. Polluting and entire cities water supply was only step two, what could be worse than that?
"Did you hear where they where going to do this?" Doreen asked Tippy.
"Multiple locations at once, you wouldn't be able to stop them all," Tippy said sadly, "however I heard their leader will be watching the whole thing from their warehouse hideout, so you have a choice Doreen, you could try and take out the members at multiple locations, or you could take down their leader, I will tell you where he is." Tippy said, and that made Doreen thing, try and stop them from polluting the water supply, or take down 'Shape' what should she do?
"Either way, I'm going to need help," Doreen said as she pulled out her cell phone and dialed Jim, "Jim, the organization is going to unleash the 'Carnation' virus into the cities water supply, however I have a chance to take down 'Shape,' I need you and your men to secure all access points to the cities water supply, I'm going after our shape shifting adversary." Doreen informed the police captain.
"You got it Squirrel Girl, I'll get all hands on deck and secure those access points." Jim said as the line went dead, leaving Doreen, to start the journey back home and change back into her heroine attire, and head tot eh warehouse, and hopefully stop 'Shape' once and for all.
So Doreen has a plan, do you think it's going to work, please let me know
