Well, That's Just Rude

Robin POV

Getting into the ramp opening system was super easy, it was basically just a garage door opener. The first thing Robin did was change the code so no one but him could open it. It would be awkward if Boss Biggis and his crew tried coming back as he was letting everyone out.

[I wonder what Logan came up with to change the plan midway through. It would be much easier if they all voluntarily came out though.] Figuring he would wait for the first rush of people to get here before opening the ramp, Robin waited.

{I'm starting} Came the message from Logan.

A few minutes later, [I thought he was goi…] "What the hell was that!" Robin exclaimed out loud. [Man, that echo made my ears ring.]

[I hope Detective Cornwell is here soon, it looks like we started.] About 7 minutes later Robin heard a group of people panting as they ran up the hill.

"Shit guys we can't open the door, only the Boss and Ricky have the remote."

"Hey, there is someone here already."

"No worries guys, I almost have it open and you will be out of here. Just put these bracelets on, I don't have enough for individual ones so just share them." Robin figured cuffing them now when they were out of breath from the run was smartest. They started to get all tough with him, making threats and demands. [No surprise.]

Deciding to make it easier, Robin just walked over to them and quickly knocked two of them out and the third followed soon after. Pulling some zip ties out, he trussed them up for easy handoff to the police.

"Too many cops keep our cuffs as souvenirs, shit gets expensive after a while. So, you guys get cheap ties."

Not long after, Robin got another group of mixed guards and homeless people. He quickly knocked out the guards and gathered the homeless, telling them he would be opening the door as soon as more people arrived. They weren't happy, but his knocking the guards out kept them quiet for now.

After a lot more roaring from the cavern, [Is that Riot?] Robin had about 60 homeless people gathered with most all the guards accounted for. The crowd was starting to turn on him, telling him to open the door. Robin heard a muffled voice from the crowd.

"Funny how they won't work together to take down a guard to escape but they are more than willing to turn on you, who is here to help them eh Bird Brain!" [Why does that voice sound familiar?]

"Ok people I'm opening the ramp, grab those guards and drag them out. The police should be here for them soon." As soon as the ramp opens, Robin is greeted by the sight of a Humvee with two guys holding pistols pointing his way. Behind them still in the Humvee was Boss Biggis.

The rush of homeless people distracted the gunmen for a moment, and Robin rushed them. He couldn't use any long-distance weapons because of the people, but he did remove the camouflage on his outfit so the guards could focus on him and not the other people. That's what his outfit was meant for anyway, a visual distraction to keep them from looking in the shadows for the boss man.

Robin quickly knocked the guards down and tied them up when he saw the back window roll down on the Humvee. Careful about any weapons that may come out, Robin watched as a fat hand with a remote in it appeared.

"It's too late Biggis I overrode your control of the ramp. The police are on their way and once they get the evidence you are done for."

"You misunderstand stupid Bird, this is my panic button, if you don't give me back control of the ramp and leave now, I will panic and push it." He said.

{Logan, are you done? I got Biggis up here saying to leave, or he is going to hit some big panic button.} Robin warns him.

{I'm good, just a last few stragglers here about halfway up the ramp. He is just bluffing, there were no explosives in the cavern, and I doubt he had any in his own camper.} Logan replied.

"No chance Biggis, all the evidence down there will put you away for a long time. Better get used to only three meals a day and small ones at that." Robin told him. Sirens start approaching just as he finishes telling Biggis the bad news.

"You shouldn't threaten a man with his biggest fear Bird Boy, anything pushed in a corner will bite!" Biggis said as he pushed the button on the remote.

Shortly after he pushed the button there was a rumble from the cave.

{Shit, he had a bomb on the outside of the cave. The wall is giving way and the cave is filling up with seawater. We have time to make it out, but all the evidence is gone besides the witnesses. I'll be up in a few minutes.} Logan told him.

Gar/Logan POV

Having changed back into his human form, Gar was still trying to rush the stragglers up the ramp after Robin told him Boss Biggis was up there. Suddenly he heard a muffled boom and then there was the sound of rock starting to groan and shift.

"Hurry up people, we are going to be underwater soon. That was the Sound of the ocean coming into the cavern."

People start to cheer and shout, "I hope that big monster drowns." to which many other people chant the same thing. [Well, that's just rude people.]

By the time they all get out of the cavern, the cops have arrived with ambulances tending to some of the homeless and police taking the handcuffed guards to the patty wagons. Gar got to watch Boss Biggis standing next to his Humvee shouting about how they had no reason to detain him and his driver.

"We was just passing by, I have been in talks with the owner to buy this warehouse. Ain't nothing illegal about that."

Robin was talking to a detective that Gar assumed was his contact at GCPD as he approached.

"What about me and the Homeless people here he press-ganged Detective?" Gar asked.

Gar turned to look at the group of about a hundred and hollered out "Are you all going to let this fat pig get away with feeding you his scraps and forcing you to dig all day long?"

After a few minutes a person shouted "No way, I was kidnapped and forced to work for that Blob. Throw him in jail, right guys!" He spoke out to the crowd, and they picked up on his excitement and started sounding out their complaints.

"There you have it Detective, lots of corroborating complaints to take down. You better get a bigger wagon down here to haul this guy away." Gar laughed.

"A punk kid doesn't tell me how to do my job. Get your new partner under control Robin!" Detective Cornwell said.

{Ohh, we got a live one here Robin.} "I need to look for a friend." Gar said as he walked away from the detective and towards the group of homeless.

"Anyone see April? You know, the one you were all afraid of!" He asked the group of people.

"She left as soon as the cops got here. Good thing too or I would have had them arrest her for biting my nose off!" Danny yelled out.

Once the water in the cave hit sea level it stopped rising. There was about 6ft before the water would have come up the ramp. [It's good that the bats won't be displaced, and no seawater will be coming up the hole I dug in the park.]

After the cops all left, Gar turned to Robin, "Well my friend, are we done for the night, or should we go scare more drug dealers?"

"Well, it is kind of late and only the hard-core dealers are out right now, but who am I to stand between Cocaine Wolf and his Young Meat?" Robin laughed. He took off and Gar changed into an owl and followed him, both ready to laugh as some dealers cried.
