Phase 9

Duncan & Joe: Better find Cyane, Connor, and Cali about what's going on. And maybe one of you, maybe Duncan, can follow Methos. It's a dangerious building now... think about it.

Quincy: You move through the hospital unseen by the other immortals. They're a little busy now, so you got lucky. You decide to place the bomb in the cafteria and set it to three mintutes. This will give you enough time to move away from the bomb. Now all you have to do is find the famous Dr. Pierson.

Methos: You do sense a new immortal in the building... but you're in a rush you don't stop to greet the new immortal. Though- you catch a faint glance. You a least acknowledge this immortal is a man. But you were walking too fast to catch the face and you really don't have the time to stop and back track your steps. (and yes- the immortal is Quincy)

for the rest: You guys are doing so great, you don't need anything from me. Just *wing* it.

Chapter 9

Ben(the one placed in charge of the four men of Kenny's, a bunny character):

Ben glanced around with his eyes, watching the scene. His hands were still raised. From what he had gathered, the cast and crew were all ready dead. This had been a set up... but for what purpose? This man could not be to help find a cure... for the cast and crew members were dead. His hands lowered a bit. Kenny did order to bring the one responsible for the commericial back alive. "I can take you to the one who knows about the plague," he spoke, watching what he said. He caught glances of unbelief from his comrads. But he was not disobeying orders. And he knew Kenny would deal with this accordenly. He had listened to the woman's conversation as well- but did not wait till the man had answered.

Helen:

"I'm sorry.." she trailed, wondering if one of these immortals was Margaret. "My name is Helen," she thought about what next to say. Better get right to the catch- she didn't want to waste time. "I was suppose to meet someone here. It's kind fo silly, I've never seen her before. But her friend told me I might find her here. Her name is Margaret," she choose her words wisely, knowing this story would work with whatever Margaret's story was for being here.

Connor: Connor sighed and went back to Jenny's room. He still did not really trust that Dr. Lane. Why did Methos? He wondered if there was anything between them or something that woudl explain his trust in her. He would watch over Jenny and make sure that doctor followed proceedors.

Fredrick:

He turns his head in surprise, "What now another one?" He walks right past Cali not to concern about the pistol she has pointing at both of them. He looks Ben down with disgust, "You took your time ". He steps over to Cali and whispers in her ear, "I want you to know that little toy gun wouldn't of slowed me down that long. I've would hit you with my blade before you could gotten off a second shot. You don't know my motives and I don't care to much about yours but, I think it might be good idea to make a truce. There could be trap." He sees Ben trying to listen. He turns his head and smiles, "I don't know about the girl but, lead the way." He starts walking to him then stops, "oh silly me I forgot something." He turns around takes out the silenced Pistol and fires 3 of the last 5 shots into the heads of the remaining 3 men. He looks at Ben, "I'm guessing that's the prize for failure." He turns to Cali, "You comming?"

Duncan:

He sees Methos leave the room. Duncan stands up, "I think I better follow him.. just in case." He steps out of the room and sees Methos went down a hall. He follow him but from a slight distance. 'Methos how come I feel this move is not going too be easy', he thinks to himself.

Quincy:

Quincy finally decides t othrow cation to the wind and enter the hosptital. He decides to get right down to business and lools for a good place to plant his bomb. He decides upon the cafeteria as it is a central place and there are mnay people there but is not a vital part of the hospital. he set the bomb for three minutes nad hurried out of the cafeteria in search of Pierson...........

Calisandra:

"You would have tried" she thinks to herself, shoving the dagger into her pocket and the gun into the waistband of her jeans as she follows him out the door. "A truce..." she mutters, watching his back flex as he drags the man toward the car. Glancing quickly over her shoulder at the other dead men, her eyes shine wickedly, "Well at least he's efficient." As they reach the car, she waits as he throws Ben into the back seat, still handcuffed. "Ok, we have a truce...I have no quarrel with you (at the moment, she thinks) but don't get in my way." She opens the passenger side door and looks over at him, catching his eyes, "So what do I call you?...Hey you, seems kind of rude if we're going to be working together." Climbing into the car, without waiting for his response, she looks at the man in the back seat, "and you were going to tell us where we could find the maker of this plague..."

Methos:

Methos rushed to the lab where Dr. Lane's office was. He senced another immortal and caught a quick glance as he passed. This one was new to the hospitial. He paid no attention to it. It didn't matter too much- they were leaving anyway. Though his curiousty was kicking himself for not at least getting a better look. He arrived at Dr. Lane's office and found her in there signing a few papers. "Dr. Lane. Gather a few portable equipments quickly and a few of the lastest vials and papers. Place what you can in a box. We're relocating."

"Relocating?" Dr. Lane asked, having all ready turned around at his entrance. "Where?"

"I cannot tell you at the moment. I will when the time comes. Just do so." Methos replied and she nodded and started gathering the things he requested. Methos helped her out by packing things that were needed.

Margaret:

She looks at Helen interested, so this was the woman Kenny had sent. "I am Margaret" she replied thinking fast. What would she say now? Helen didn’t know Josh was long dead, if she didn’t chose her words carefully Helen could blow her cover. "You have a message?? From Josh???" She asked anxiously. "Is he ok?? He should have reached this hospital ages ago… I--- I was starting to fear the worst" she said and made a slight pause. "Where is he??? Please don’t---- tell me he is dead..." she trailed. She had talked fast, so Helen couldn’t reply to her first question. She hoped Helen had understood her hints…there was nothing more she could say. She looked at Cyane and back at Helen, "Well? Would you tell me already??"

Helen:

Helen was surprised to find Margaret so quickly- luck was on her side. She listened closely as Margaret gave her clues to her story. She wasn't sure if to tell if he was alive or dead. Perhaps alive would be better. "He's still alive. He said he had a few thigns to handle at home and would come here a little later. He said for you to wait here and for me as well," she replied, carefully. Well- at least that would give them a reason for staying here in the hospital.

Ben:

'I never said anything about him having created the plague....' he thought. He wondered if they knew that someone created it. "145 12th Street," he said softly. It wasn't the main hideout, he never brought anyone there, unless specially told by Kenny. And he could call Kenny from there and tell him what was going on.

Fredrick:

"Oh it's a he?" Fredick realizes this man is another fool. He is telling way too much information. "One man created this all, quite interesting?" He starts the engine of his six month past due rent a car and drives to the location. He then anwsers Cali's question," I'm Fredrick Widukind..." He looks in the rear view mirror to catch Ben's glance,"....and I kill people". A wicked smile crosses his lips as he continues to drive.

Cyane:

She turns to Margaret, "I guess you can stop worrying about your friend now that you know he is ok." She still had a bad feeling that something wasn't quite right, but she didn't know what. She turned back toward Helen, there was something she defenetly didn't trust about her.....

Margaret:

She glanced at Cyane and gave a faint smile "Yeah, good thing" she muttered. D*** that Helen!! She didn’t know why Kenny had to send some stupid people to help her…maybe it was not to help her but to watch her. If somebody found out that Josh had died a couple of weeks ago, her cover would be totally ruined… or maybe not. Her brain was working fast, trying to think of an emergency exit if something went wrong. She looked back at Helen "Thanks, you really help me. I have been dead worried about Josh" she said and turned to Cyane, Helen’s attention was on Larry, it was her chance to start building her back door. "there is something strange about her, isn’t it?" she asked Cyane in a whisper, Helen couldn’t hear her. "I don’t trust her much… man, I hope Josh gets here soon" she sighed.

Helen:

Helen was anxious to get this Margaret character alone, so they could have a nice long chat about what was going on...it was obvious that Margaret wasn't happy to see her, and the feeling was certainly mutual. Helen thought about what would be best, and then turned back to Margaret and said "Well, why don't we go grab a bite to eat, and I'll fill you in on how Josh has been...that is, if you don't mind taking off for a while.

Calisandra:

Laughing softly, her eyes sparkiling mischieviously, "Now , how did I know you were going to say to say that? You realize of course that he's probably trying to set us up, don't you?" After shooting an angry glance at the man in the back seat, she continues, "My name is Calisandra, and I watch people who kill." she says smiling, the look in her eyes making it very clear that Watching is not all that she does...

Duncan:

He continues to keep an eye on Methos he too did sensed the other immortal. He could go after him but it could be of Methos *friends* he's not sure who is a foe and not. He leans on a wall close to the room where Methos just went into but out of sight. He thinks over the situation, 'Hmmm so, one of Kronos proteges decided to come get Methos.. but with all the Immortals that's ridiculous'. He sees a sign that points to the cafeteria. He wonders what taste worst Airplane food or Hospital food. 'Stay on guard' he tells himself.

Brent:

As soon as everyone leaves the room Brent gathers the papers that on Margret and then makes his way to the floor's nursing station. "Excuse me Miss, but can I bother you for a second? I need for you page someone for me."

"Sure," the woman responds, "just tell me her name."

Brent smiles, "Her name is Cyane and can you tell her to return to the lab." He didn't want to alert Magaret they were onto her just yet. Hopefully she would just follow her Cyane. If not, he and Cyane would just have to find her themselves. The nurse then nods her head and repeats Brent's message of the loudspeaker.

Cyane:

Before she could speak she heard someone paging her to return to the lab. It's about time, this whole babysitting thing was getting old, she thought. She forced a slight smile and said, "would y'all like to come back to the lab with me?" She didn't wait for a reply, she turned and started walking back toward the lab..............

Margaret:

She thought fast, if Pearson was so eager to take them out of the lab, why was he calling them now? It didn't make much sense to her...and she had a real bad feeling about it. Cyane was already walking away when she turned at Helen. "I'm kind of hungry and i would like to know about Josh" she said. "You go ahead, i would like to know about Josh, besdes is not like i do any good in there..." she said and walked the other way to the cafeteria waiting for Helen to follow her. As she gets closer she feels another immortal. "D*** how many immortals are here??" she mutters. as she reaches for her sword.

Cyane:

She heard Margaret saying something about Josh, but she didn't give it much thought. When she turned to see if Margaret was following her she saw she was not. Finally she thought to her self, she was tired of following and watching this immortals every move. When she got to the lab she felt the presence of another immortal. Thinking it was Methos she opened the door not thinking to knock first.....

Fredrick:

"Of course it's a trap. We did not know he was in the room until he raised his hands and offered to take us to the others. Isn't that right!" He yells back at Ben. At the same time he is going to test Cali to see if she could only be approving of Fredrick's actions because they are on people who deserve it but, what about the same on a innocent? He sees a crippled man possibly inflicted with the plague trying to cross the street. He lets go off the wheel and turns to face Ben. 'Lets see if she will pull the wheel to avoid hitting him'. He quickly thinks then he starts too yell at Ben, "You could have run and called your bosses right? Yet you instead go inside? Give me a break!" His foot is still on the gas. He can tell that even Ben is thinking will the car hit the bystander. "Now you listen here!! All I need is you to breathe and to speak. You don't need limbs or eyes got that? Now talk!!"

Helen:

Helen too noticed the presence of an immortal, and she also reached for her sword, but kept on talking. "Great" said Helen. "I know Josh wanted you to know he was doing ok, for now anyway". Then, when they were out of earshot of Cyane, she said "Alright, I don't know how much you know about me, but I know very little about you. As we eat, we can work out all the fuzzy details, and maybe learn just a little about one another." Helen followed Margaret, assuming she knew where she was going. She made sure not to mention Kenny or anything suspicious, just incase they were being listened to. She had a few questions for her new partner, and was sure there were a few things Margaret wanted to know about her as well.

Ian:

In San Francisco, I will look around the hospital for Duncan MacLeod.

Brent:

Brent feels the presence of another immortal.....only one he thinks but he could never be too sure. He reaches down to the back at his feet and grasps the hilt of his sword, pretending to be filding with his shoelaces. The door opens and in steps Cyane. Fortunately Margaret wasn't with her. Relieved, he quickly got up and made his way towards the door, shutting it gently behind her. "Sorry to bother you and your babysitting job but I found some information on this Margaret. It seems that Ms. Margaret may be here for alternative reasons. When I pulled up her profile I found a mention of Kronos and it seems the two were more than just passing aquaintances. Have you noticed anything about her that could be classified as 'out of the ordinary'?" He pauses for a minute to let what he just said and asked sink in. "I've already talked to Pierson and even though we're not 100% positive about her purpose here we don't want to take any chances. At this very moment we are conducting an impromptu relocation to some unknown location. Pierson and the others are getting the necessary equipment we need to move so that leaves you and I with the responsibilty of dealing with Margaret. Do you know where she is at this moment? I'm not sure if her death is necessary at this moment, especially if we want to move out of here expediently and quietly." Brent finally finishes his rambling to allow Cyane to add her thoughts on the matter.

Cyane:

As soon as Brent said the name Kronos an alarm went off in Cyane's head. She knew a little about Methos' past with Kronos. She waited until Brent was done telling her the information before she spoke. "Well there was just something about her that I didn't trust, I just over looked that though, I figured that was just normal because I don't trust many especialy immortal. No affence. And just earlier, before the page to come back to the lab another immortal showed up. Her name is Helen or so she says. She was actually looking for Margaret, something about that friend that Margaret was looking for earlier. She said he had sent her to find Margaret. The immortal Helen said something about grabbing a bit to eat, so i guess they headed for the cafeteria. Oh another thing, on my way here I senced another immortal. Something just isn't right, I think we should get out of here, maybe we should go find Adam. What do you think?" She waited for his reponse...............

Calisandra:

Seeing his hands come off the steering wheel, she looks up seeing the man crossing the street. Her attention is diverted temporarily and she turns to look at him as he starts yelling at the man in the back seat, wondering if he had seen the pedestrian, she places her hands on the wheel, turning it away from the man, noticing that Fredrick is watching her from the corner of his eye and that the car seems to be accellerating, she shakes her head, "Look can we stop playing games? We don't have time to deal with trafic accidents right now...or need to have the cops chasing us."

Fredrick:

He turns back to the wheel, "Good reason....My dear But, In my expericence everyone is Corruptible. now as for You... my Friend in the back-seat" He glances in the rear-view mirror to look at Ben. "Once we get with in one city block of this location. I'm gonna stop this car and your gonna Talk". He makes a right hand turn....

Brent:

Brent turned the new information Cyane had just divulged over and over in his head for a moment before speaking. "A new immortal you say?......and asking for Margaret? This could be a problem. If she has one person already asking for her then more may show up. This could turn into a very hostile situation." Brent pauses for a moment, rubbing his chin lightly in thought. "Your right," he finally says while turning away from Cyane to retrieve his bag from the floor, "let's go find Pierson and get the hell oughta here. I have a feeling that things can only get worse if we stay here so we need to get away as soon as possible." Brent then shifts his bag into a more comfortable position his shoulder and reaches for the door knob behind Cyane. "We can tell Pierson what we've talked about and help him get his things together."

Cyane:

"Yeah, the sooner we get all this to Adam, the better" she said to Brent as they walked out of the lab and down the hall. Where did Adam go?" She asked as they kept hurrying along.......

Brent:

Brent walks briskly beside Cyane, his eyes constantly shifting all over the place taking in everything and watching for anything suspicious. "I don't know where this person is but the last thing he said before he left was that he would be looking for Dr. Lane. I vaguely remember a female doctor but I was paying her much attention with all these immortals around. You have any idea who that is and where to find this Dr. Lane?"
