Phase 10
Quincy: You notice Margaret and helen. The only reason why you know them is because Kenny should you a picture of them. You have to get them away from the bomb before it explodes... or at least warn them. If they don't listen.. hey- they are immortal... they'll survive it, it's not like it's going to be a big explosion. But you know you have to talk to them so you three can work together to pull off what Kenny has asked. After you get them two away somehow... the bomb WILL explode.
Cyane & Brent: Unfortunately- your search leads you right to the cafeteria where Helen, Margaret, and Quincy are. Methos: Better wrap up and head out.
to the rest: Just *wing* it.
Chapter 10
Ben:
Ben didn't say anything. He wouldn't answer any questions. He just wish they would get there so Kenny could take care of this. He was only use to following orders... Kenny's orders. But he knew talking would get him killed. Saying more than he has all ready would get him killed.....
Cyane:
"I don't think I've met Dr. Lane and I have no idea where they may be." She started to get impatient. She turned and looked at Brent. "I guess we just have to keep looking."
Joe:
Joe watches as Duncan leaves in search of Methos, Chuckling softly he reaches for the phone, making several more calls to his contacts inside the Watchers making sure that all is ready for their arrival. As he lays down the receiver, he glances at his watch, surprised by how much time has passed, he grows concerned for his friends and climbs painfully to his feet. Grabbing his cane, he heads out the door, hesitating briefly in the empty hallway. "Now I could try walking all over this damned place looking for them...or ..." he thinks, sighing heavily as he
makes his decision and heads back to the main lobby..."or just go wait in the car..." His progress through the hospital is slow as labored as he he needs to stop repeatedly to catch his breath, but he eventually makes his way outside to the rental car he had arrived in with Macleod. Leaning wearily against it, he looks over at the hospital, wondering where everyone is. Shaking his head, "I'm sure they're fine." he mutters under his breath pulling his cell-phone from his pocket. He dials and waits
for her to answer...
Calisandra:
Seeing the flash of fear followed by determination in the
man's eyes, Cali laughs softly, her eyes growing hard and cold, "You're dead anyway you know" she muses, "so now it's just a matter of how much you want to suffer before you do..." she glances over at Frederich, seeing his icy cold blue eyes watching the road, "Now..." as she begins to speak there is the muffled sound of a cell-phone ringing from her bag on the floor between her feet, "Damn" she mutters turning away from the prisoner to reach inside the bag...if he bothers to look, Frederich will see that besides containing several computer printouts and disks and
one very old leather bound manuscript the bag also contains some very interesting lethal looking weapons. Digging around to the bottom of the bag, her long dark hair falling over her face, hiding her expression, she finds the phone. Straightening back up, she throws her head back, her eyes shining angrily as she pulls the antenna up with her teeth and answers, "Yeah...Morgan here." she snaps. hearing Joe's voice on the other end her expression softens slightly, but her agitation remains,
"You're moving him where? Are you insane?...No..." she raises her head, meeting Frederich's suspicious gaze..."No...I'm just following some leads, nothing yet...I'll meet you guys there later." With that she breaks the connection placing the phone back into her bag...her hand closing carefully around a rather ornate dagger hidden beneath the manuscript...
Fredick:
He drives while watching and listening to every thing Cali is
doing. His mind races with decessions. All options he think are violent. He attempts to restain himself. He has to handle it with Care, "Nice bag of trinkets you got there. If I were you I would let go of what ever of those lovely weapons you got your hand on. After all stab me and I will use what ever strengh I got left to slam your side of the car into a telephone pole. After that it's the first one that recovers will win but, our pal in the back
might not be so lucky and aren't we promising that he will live until we get there? He makes a left turn. He wonders why she guards that bag. Must have something worthwhile in it but, first things first. "So, Morgan. It seems that your motives for finding the creators of this plague are not your own. That person they are moving must be very important and to think I was thinking we could team up. Your another one of those ends justifies
the means people right? That I tell you is bull. Don't kid yourself. That is just something you tell yourself to believe your doing the right thing. Once you realize that it's all a lie" a smile comes across face, "and your true self comes out."
Quincy:
As Quincy runs from the cafeteria he notices two women that
look vaguely familiar. He realizes who they are and decides to stop and warn them off the bomb. As he stops in front of them he looks to each of the women in turn, "You must be Margaret and you are Helen, i suggest that you move away from the cafeteria NOW a bomb is about to go off and i don't think you want to be around when it happens. Besides i have to talk to you two any way i am Quincy, Kenny sent me." He looks back to the cafeteria and then begins to stride away. When he gets about ten feet away he turns back and asks "Coming..............?"
Brent:
Beginning to get a bit annoyed himself he stops and turns to
Cyane. Where in the world could he be? Just then he feels the presence of other immortals in the vacinity. He looks up and notices that they're near the cafeteria. A sly smirk appears on his face and he looks back to Cyane. He nods his head in the direction of the cafeteria sign and says,"It seems as if our friend may still be in the cafeteria......and it seems that she isn't alone. You wanna check it out?"
Cyane:
"I......" She stop speaking when she too feels the presence of others. She see's the expression on Brent's face. A slight smile comes to her face, as she knows what he's thinking. "Yes lets see what our friends are up to."............
Margaret:
She was about to reply to Helen when the immortal she felt
showed up. she looked at him "boy, you work fast" she smirked then she felt 2 more immortals her eyes went to Cyane. A mischievous smile came to her lips, "how very nice... c'mon...walk a bit closer..." she muttered as she saw Brent and Cyane go closer to them "just a bit closer..." then she turned to Quincy and walked towards him. "I think i like your style, fast and easy...not really clean, but oh well" she shrugged and
glanced back to see Cyane and Brent were really close to the cafeteria now. "well, they are gonna go through a lot of pain...how very nice"
To everybody: The bomb explodes, totally destroying the cafeteria. It sets off the alarm and sets off the sprinkle system. The bomb has caused a small fire within the cafeteria which is now spreading... despite the sprinklers. (have a nince day *wink*)
Quincy:
As the bomb explodes Quincy hits the deck so to speak, as he
recovers he gets up and throws off his cloak and looks to the cafeteria and the other approaching immortal's. He didn't have time for this he needed to find Pierson, but if they were looking for a fight, then he was prepared to give them one helluva good one. He makes ready and draws his sword glancing slightly at Margaret and Helen..........
Methos:
Methos hears the explosion and than the alarm as it rang out.
"What in the bloody..." he trailed as he glanced out the room. He saw Duncan. "That sounded like an explosion..." i muttered as my eyes went to Duncan. "Duncan- do me a favor. Go to the room where Jenny and Connor is. Tell Connor to move Jenny to the smaller hospital near by. the move won't kill her. There's a doctor there that will take good care of her. Don't worry about me. I got to wrap up and we are diffently leaving...." he muttered and went back in and grabbed a coupel of boxes. "Dr. Lane.. take this outside to the front.. from the main entrance. Go around
the cafeteria.. it sounded like that was where the explosion went off. Place these in my car, understand?" I asked and she nodded, fearful. "Don't be afraid... just go. I will be right behind you." She took the boxes and left. I saw Duncan still there. "What are you waiting for? Go. If something happens... get the boxes in my car to the new location." He gave him a serious look and went back into the lab. He went to a safe and pulled out a file. He went back out. He handed this to Duncan. "Go... I need to do one last thing and I'll join you." He than walked in one
direction deeper into the east wing. He hoped Duncan wouldn't follow him. He knew it was risky... but he couldn't leave without getting one last thing. he could sneak out from the east wing doors if it came to it.....
Duncan:
Still a bit shaken from the blast he listens to Methos. "But Methos this has trap waiting..." He stops himself while it is clearly a trap there is no telling how many more bombs are here. Methos is more important but, Connor his Kinsmen and friend. Duncan knew a little bit about Connor history with Jenny. He knows leaving Methos is wrong but, clan bonds are too strong.
Duncan holds on to the files, and sees Methos running down the hall. He clenches his fists and runs down a hall to find Connor. He turns the corner and pushes through the crowd of nurses trying to get people to safety. He turns down a hall see the door to Jenny room. He senses an Immortal. He hopes it is Connor.
Connor:
I didn't want to leave Jenny alone. I heard the blast. It drew
my attention to outside teh door. I than felt a presence as I saw my old friend Duncan. Normally- I would have been glad to see him... but I was wondering what was going on and worried as well. "Duncan," i spoke softly. "What's going on?" I knew it had been a blast. My thoughts went to Methos... was he all right? Was it safe to be in this hospital?
Duncan:
"It's a long story. Theres this small hospital a couple of blocks
away get jenny over there. We have no idea if there are any more bombs. I'm going to go find Methos." Duncan runs back down the hall turning two corners to where he last saw Methos. He stops and turns his head in every direction trying to guess were he might have gone. He runs toward Methos' office. There is a chance thats where Methos went back there. In any case Joe was in the office last time Duncan saw him. Joe might need help gettting
out of the hospital.
Brent:
Brent turns the corner and immediately locks eyes with the three
immortals. He smirks but the look is immediately wiped off his face when he sees the three of them drop to the ground. "What the
he........!?!?!" BOOM!!! The explosion knocks Brent off his feet and sends him crashing into the nearest corridor wall behind him. He is slumped against the wall with pain briefly paralyzing his body. His dazed eyes search the smokey corridor for Cyane when they fall upon Quincey and the bare blade he holds menacingly before him. Despite the lethargy in his muscles his mind franticly questions the whereabouts of his bag housing his own
weapon. His dark brown eyes dart this way and that before he finally sees a black strap sticking out from beneath a chair a few feet away. With an audible grunt he tries to push himself to his knees but weak limbs and lots of rubble make it extremely hard. He manages to scoot himself over to his bag and begins fumbling with the zipper.
Cyane:
The explotion through her into the wall on the right, knocking her out for a couple seconds. After trying to get her thought back in order, she quickly jumps to her feet. The pain from the wall still thobbing her head. She brushed her hand across her head wiping most of the blood off. The gash she must have gotten had already healed. There was so much smoke in the corridor she could hardly see. She reached in her coat for her sword, pulling it out quickly. She looked around but couln't see much from all the smoking. There was a lot of noise though. "Brent!" She
yelled out....................
Quincy:
As Quincy draws out his sword he notices the other man getting
up and searching for something, assuming it is his sword Qunicy rushes toward him and prepares to kill him......
Methos:
Methos knew this was very risky.... staying longer than needed
in this hospital. He had to find what he was looking for quickly,
searching the lab in the far East wing. His search was quick. He had all ready went through the lab 3 times before wondering what was wrong with this picture. It had to be here! No one came into this lab but him and dr. Lane. Only they two had the key. How was it possible for it not to be here! He knew Dr. Lane wouldn't move it. He searched again, but his afferts didn't produce anything. Where was it? Where was that vial containing that vital substance at? He and dr. Lane had been working on it solely. It was not proven to work... but it was important. "Bloody!" he snapped, glancing around the room which now looked like a hurricane had
passed through. This was insane. Lots of disappearances of files and samples have been recorded...... but this? No one knew about it. Methos sighed in frustrations thinking of a possible answer. How could it not be here? Only one other person knew about it............ This thought struck him dumbfoundedly. "Dr. Lane?" he asked softly to himself. A confused look came about hsi face with this thought.... was she responisble? No.. no.. that was impossible. He trusted her like a sister. She wouldn't....... would she? Another sigh escaped Methos's lips. No.. he was
crazy. Dr. Lane wouldn't do that. What would be her reasoning anyway? Maybe somebody else had been watching him or her- that was quite possible. No... no... he had been real careful and knew Dr. Lane would have been too. The only explanation would be that.... that.... "Dr. Lane's a traitor..." the words came out of his lips like butter. He didn't want to believe it.... but there was no other explanation. His heart felt heavy at this relization. How could she? How could she? He didn't get it. She
had no reason....... Methos thoughts were interuptted by a familar click sound. It was the sound that came from a gun. For a moment, he didn't want to turn around and find the person now holding the gun pointing it at him. The only weapon he had was the sword hidding under his doctors jacket and an empty needle injection tool near his hand. What happened next went by like a flash. He grabbed the needle, turned quickly and threw it just as the gun fired. The bullet hit true... right in his chest. A gasp of pain escaped his lips as the needle hit the wall by the
person's head. A look of disbelief passed his eyes as he saw the person to be none other than Dr. Lane herself. "Why?" He gasped. But he could not hear the answer... he slumped onto the floor into blackness.........
Margaret:
Her eyes watched carefully every move Quincy made, a faint
smile came to her face as she saw an oportunity. She rushed to Brent's side, taking out her sword. "Put it down!!" she shouted at Quincy. "If you kill him, i swear I'll kill you" she threaten him. She glanced at Brent down on his knees. she would have wanted Quincy to take that goody doer's head... but it wouldn't make any good now, this was her chance to get their trust...or a little bit of it.
Duncan:
He burst into Pierson's office, " Joe are you still..." He finds no Joe and no Methos. He stops for a second to figure out his next move. Joe is not here so, he must have gotten out or is still trying to get out. Chances are the hospital staff are helping him. Now Methos. He is tempted to yell
out Dr Pierson or Methos but, he does not want to draw attention either name. He steps out of the Pierson's office. Duncan has only been in a few rooms of this hospital he has no idea where Methos is. Then it hits him. He might not know where he went to but, he can guess how he will leave. Macleod runs to an emergency exit. He kicks open the door and hops over the stair rail to the next floor and then the same thing to the lobby floor. He notices the main exit is crowded. Methos would never go that way. He
goes out a lobby floor window and runs around the side of the hospital trying to find the back exit. Hoping to meet up with Methos on his way out. 'or Kolo protege' he thinks.
Calisandra:
Cali smiles a slow wicked smile and meets his eyes boldly,
"I know exactly what I am and what I want...one way another I'm going to find the man who did this and find a way to stop it, then he is going to die." she slowly pulls her hand from the bag, showing him her empty palm, her voice drops into a growl, "You got a problem with that?"
Fredrick:
Hearing this half immortal act tough just makes Fredrick
laugh, "hah hah hah ah... Do I have a problem with it...hah hah hah." he drives up a hill. " Well look at it this way wheter I have a problem with it or not. I just don't think they like me.. ye hah hah. You might known who your are but, think of what you can become." He talks not caring if ben hears anything since he is good as dead anyways. "So, what you can't claim the prize but, you can be the last one standing in the end. Yes I said it the prize is something which seemed to be forgotten now a days. What I want is the prize or plan to have a lot of fun trying to get it. Don't you see the power you possess? So, you can't win it, big deal. You are not one of us so, you really don't have to follow the rules you could side yourself with a strong immortal and with that immortal's strengh and your ablities you two will move to the top of the pack. Should that immortal be one that will ha hah doom mankind... we! ll you can always cut their head off after they took the last immortals head." He looks at a road sign. " We are almost there. I can't wait to see what kind of a welcoming party they have for their returning second rate hitmen. Can you?"
Brent:
Hearing Quincey's threat he looks up from his crouched position
on the floor. He quickly began calculating remedies to the situation but his thoughts were soon interupted............by his female savior Margaret??!!? What was going on? Had they possibly misjudged her purpose at the hospital? Ah, he would have to contemplate such things at a later time. Right now he had to get off this floor and put a blade in his hand. "Brent," he hears Cyane yell. "Over here," he replies while grabbing his bag and getting up with his brown eyes locked on Margaret's. After
an extended second of intense glaring he turns his attention to
Quincey. "I'm assuming that little explosion in the cafeteria was your bright idea?" Brent then reaches into his bag and grasps the hilt of the claymore hidden inside.
Quincy:
As he studies the man opposite him the woman he thought to be
margaret jumped to the mans side.......What was she babling about? Fine Quincy thinks to him self i don't have time for this......."I see, nice odds but i think i will have to pass this one up...." He quickly turns on his heal and runs out of the cafeteria in search of his quarry........Dr. Pierson, on the way through the halls he realizes what Margaret has in mind and thinks to himself that it his straight forward approach
would have solved things quicker but if she wants to play those games it is not his business.....
Calisnadra:
Cali's eyes grow cold and distant as his words touch the
dark wicked corner of her soul that she had struggled so long and hard to overcome, awakening memeories she had thought well buried. Her mind flashes back to a time almost 1000 years ago, when the Watchers had been at war with the Immortals, when the Watchers had been the hunters and the Immortals the hunted, when she had sworn a different oathe, an oathe to protect...to kill. Her hands clench into fists as her body remembers the thrill of the hunt, her warrior blood raging through her veins as her sword falshes drawing blood and screams of pain from her prey...the
exquisite feel of power as her blade removed their immortal heads. She closes her eyes, growling softly under her breath as she tries to regain control once more over her own dark desires. When she opens them again, she boldly meets his cold blue eyes, with an evil smile, "If all the mortals die...who would there be left to rule?" she purrs...
Cyane:
Over her, she hears Brent say. The smoke was starting to clear now and it was easier to see. She turned her head in the direction she heard his voice. By this time a strange immortal was running away. She walked over to where Brent was. She saw Margaret standing there too. "What the hell just happened" she asked Brent. Then she turned toward Margaret. "But I guess you could explain all this huh, and the immortal too I asume. She said in an almost yelling voice. Her eyes were dead cold
starring directly at Margaret...............
Fredrick:
"I agree no one would be left and although I care nothing for their pitiful worthless life's. It's no fun without them. He looks back in rear view mirror at Ben. "It's fun to watch them die from your own hand. All this plague bit is too distant for my taste." He slows the car down. "You in the back seat how close are we to this place?"
Helen:
As Helen watched the whole scene taking place in front of her, she thought it would be best to lie low. She slowly got up, inspecting herself from the blow. A few bruises, but nothing else. She sees this other immortal, presumedly sent by Kenny, take off. If that d~~~ Margaret is going to play savior to the male immortal, Helen thought she might as well play along with the act. She strides up to the group and says "I just hope none of the mortals at the hospital were injured in this messy
little scene. Who the hell was that guy, does anybody know?
Margaret:
She looks at Cyane placing away her sword "What are you
talking about?" she asked looking right into Cyane's eyes. she held her gaze, it was such a pathetic scene, she wanted to take that girl's head, however she knew better. "Look, i have no idea of what just happened here, and trully i don't give a damn either." she said codly. "and your welcome for saving your head" she said to Brent.
Quincy:
In his flight from the cafeteria he comes acrosss a lab and
heads in hoping to have time to think about what he was going to do if those other immortals pursued him. But as he entered the lab he saw a mortal woman in there and, as he examined her he seen she had a gun pointing at a man on the floor. As Quincy sees the man on the floor he immediately recognizes him as Dr. Pierson. "Excuse miss but I'll be taking him off your hands now............"
