IC-OVER-Abducted(Anthony Gardner/Erica Spears/Kathryn McCoy)

As the afternoon gets underway, the survivors from the T-Bone have been split up. The helicopter group must land at an airfield halfway to Omaha for refueling. Those still on the surface try desperately to defend the motel, while those trapped underground fight for their lives as they search for a way out.

IC-OVER-Abducted(Anthony Gardner/Erica Spears/Kathryn McCoy)

Post by Mr. Handy »

Z-Day - 2:37 PM Central Time - Airfield 10 miles SW of Kearney, Nebraska
On the elevator-
The elevator slid downwards, and a terrible explosion shook the tower. Erica was filled with panic as Gardner held her tightly about the waist with one arm and pressed the barrel of his gun to her head. "See what happens when you don't cooperate?" he growled at her.

A sense of serenity washed over Erica. Whatever happens, she thought, I must get through this, for Stephanie's sake. Poor Stephanie...

Gardner didn't feel much about the atrocity he had just committed. Serves them right, he thought. They're not the first I've killed, and they won't be the last. The elevator stopped on the third floor, and the doors opened to an empty stairwell.

On the elevator-
Gardner pressed the button for five, and the elevator began to rise again. He holstered and buttoned up his pistol, then readied his M-16, keeping Erica in front of him.

"Medic! She´s hurt bad!" called Kathryn from the fifth floor. Gardner heard some more chatter over the radio, but not much else.

Then the doors slid open, and they could both see Kathryn kneeling over the bodies of the three Nebraska State Troopers. She was trying to save the life of the female sergeant, but the woman bled to death.

Gardner pointed his M-16 at Kathryn. "Get in the elevator right this second, and keep your hands up and your mouth shut, or you can join them."

Kat searches if there is a weapon nearby she can grab before she turns to the elevator.

(The dead cops had weapons on them, but most of them are ruined. Rick had a .357 Magnum and a combat knife, but both have been wrecked by the blast. Diane had a Mossberg shotgun, a nightstick, and pepper spray, but they were destroyed too. Bo also had a Mossberg shotgun and a .444 Marlin rifle. The shotgun might work, but you won't know for sure until and unless you try to fire it. The Marlin is wrecked. He also had a nightstick, which while very badly damaged could still be used. His pepper spray is ruined.

The problem with grabbing a weapon is that Gardner would see you do it since the only weapons left are too big to conceal, and he would get to shoot you before you had a chance to use it. You do still have the stapler, which he hasn't found yet, but even a cursory search would discover it.)

(Roger!)
Kat rises and gets into the elevator, ready for a ride. Her top is bloody from the aid attempt of the female officer.

On the elevator-
Gardner stepped aside to allow Kathryn to walk past, then stepped back to block the elevator doors, keeping his weapon trained on her at all times. He failed to notice the stapler as she went by. "Good," he said, "now face the wall, put your arms behind your back, and interlace your fingers."

On the elevator-
Erica stood beside Kathryn and faced the wall too. Gardner took out his duct tape and lashed Kathryn's wrists tightly together behind her back, just as he had done to Erica earlier. He tore off a small strip of tape and sealed Kathryn's mouth with it before putting the roll away. Then he pushed the button for 3 and the elevator started to descend again.

Gardner started to calm down now that Kathryn was being more cooperative, though he didn't lower his guard in the slightest. "I'm sorry I got so angry," he said. "I really like you, Kathryn, but these stunts you keep pulling are screwing everything up - though other people share the blame there too. The plan was very simple, and we were supposed to get the helicopter without anyone getting killed. We can still get out of this place, but you'll have to do exactly what I say or more people will get hurt. Don't even think about trying to wriggle your arms loose." He stepped up close behind her and gently touched her cheek, breathing heavily on the back of her neck. "Once we reach a safe place, we'll get you cleaned off and find you some new clothes." The elevator reached the third floor, and the doors slid open. "Okay, we're going out onto the landing and down the stairs, but you girls be as quiet as you can and don't get more than a couple steps ahead of me. Let's move."

(Kathryn, roll Listen.)

In the elevator -Third floor-

As she steps a few inches out of the elevator Kat noticed a sound...

On the stairs-
Kathryn heard the whine of the helicopter's engine starting up, muffled by the concrete walls of the building and central shaft. Erica walked beside her, her face stricken with shock and fear. She did not seem to have heard anything. Gardner did not appear to take any notice either. He followed the women out of the elevator, pressing the button for B on his way out. The doors slid closed and the elevator began to descend. "Start going down," he whispered, motioning with the barrel of his M-16.

On the stairs-

Not being able to voice the heard sound Kathryn stops in her tracks, locks eyes with Gardner, swiftly angles her pupils at the wall and up. Then quickly back to Gardner´s eyes. While doing so she makes a circling gesture with her tied hands behind her back.

On the stairs-
Erica hurried down the stairs alongside Kathryn. Gardner had no problem keeping up and was right behind them. The elevator reached the basement and stopped. When they reached the second floor landing, he took hold of Kathryn's arm with one hand. "Hold on a second," he whispered, trying to hear what was going on below.

(Kathryn, roll Listen.)

The voice of Gardner made her neck crawl, making her of what was going on downstairs. unaware Kat stops as instructed.

On the stairs-
Gardner couldn't hear anything below either, nor could Erica. Gardner pulled the fire alarm, and it began to ring loudly again. "That chopper better not take off without me," he said over the radio. "Otherwise something very bad will happen to the girls." He then whispered to Kathryn and Erica, breathing heavily down their necks. "Don't worry, if you behave yourselves and do as I say nobody needs to get hurt. Now start moving, but stop halfway down." He spoke into the radio again. "If you're so brave, why don't you come find me, you filthy traitor?"

Gardner paused, then replied: "Don't throw around accusations you can't prove. I haven't harmed the ladies...yet. And you're a kidnapper too, remember? If you leave in that chopper, I'll have nothing left to lose. I'm not going to walk into a deathtrap. You need to come to me - before it's too late." He covered the microphone and turned to Erica. "Scream into the mic - or I'll give you a reason to." He held it in front of her mouth, and she gave a muffled scream, her terror genuine.

On the stairs-
Gardner couldn't hear anything over the alarm, and Erica couldn't either. After waiting a short while he nodded to the women. "Start going downstairs," he said. "When we get to the ground floor, I'll make sure the lobby is clear. Then you'll both cross the lobby and stand right outside the front door. I'll be close behind you. Start moving."

(Kathryn, roll Listen at half skill due to the fire alarm.)

Down the stairs, to the lobby-
McCoy starts to reply to Gardner as she walks across the lobby to the door. "I have a program on my laptop upstairs that will reverse the fuel flow on the heli...can it be of use if we get it working?"

In the tower lobby-
With the duct tape sealing her mouth shut, Kathryn's speech was muffled and unintelligible. "We'll talk later when we're in the helicopter," said Gardner as he reached the ground floor landing and peeked out the stairwell door. He patted her shoulder. "We'll have plenty of time to get to know each other then, but there's none to waste now. Lobby's clear, so start heading for the front door. I'll be right behind you." He held his M-16 ready.

In the tower lobby-
As Gardner marched Erica and Kathryn across the lobby, they could see the helicopter outside on the helipad, about twenty yards past the door. Two women were in the rear bench seat, and a big man in a flight suit, Dr. Bernard Smith, and Lucy Armstrong stood near it. The big man saw them too and got into the pilot's seat, while Lucy got into the co-pilot's seat and Dr. Smith got into the back with the two women. They all closed their doors.

"Quickly," hissed Gardner. He moved his hostages forward to the front door, standing just inside it and aiming his M-16 at Kathryn's back. "Shut down that chopper now!" he called. "Then throw out your weapons and step out with your hands up! If you take off, she dies!"
