IC-OVER-The Helicopter(Hausmann/Stephanie/Bob/Bernard/Lucy)

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.

At the helicopter-
Suddenly Dawkins swung down from higher up on the outside of the tower wall and through the shattered tower doors on a rope and harness as she drew her pistol. Gardner instinctively opened up on Dawkins with a three round burst that was deadly accurate. All three bullets hit her: one in the right arm, one in the chest, and one in the gut. They cut through her body armor like it wasn't even there. She was dead before she hit the ground, landing flat on her back in the doorway.

As shocked as Erica was, she still retained her faculties. She seemed to hear something, and she made a hasty decision. After having seen Gardner slaughter five tough, well-armed people without breaking a sweat, she didn't feel there was any hope of defeating him even if anyone else came to their aid. Gambling that he wouldn't kill her because he still needed her to fly the helicopter, she made her move. She nudged Kathryn and inclined her head towards the stairwell door, then took off in the opposite direction. She ran out the front door, around the police car, and across the tarmac as fast as her legs would carry her towards the chopper.

Gardner didn't hear a thing, but reacted quickly. "Get your ass back here!" he shouted, moving to grab Kathryn by the arm and pull her outside. She had no clue how he might react to any further resistance or attempts to escape on her part.

Dr. Smith gaped in shock at a second murder so soon after the first. His mind withdrew within itself, but he was able to act without thinking. "Grab your stuff and get aboard!" he called as he ran forward to meet Erica, taking out his scalpel. "We don't have a chance against him, we have to get out of here!"

Lucy nodded, shocked further by Gardner's brutality. She shook with fright, snatched up the M-16, and dived into the co-pilot's seat, closing the door behind her. She looked over the controls. While she knew how to service a helicopter, she didn't really know how to fly one. She easily found the proper controls to get the rotors spinning faster, and learned a bit about piloting helicopters in the process.

(Due to her critical success and her experience with aircraft, Lucy now has 10% skill in Pilot Helicopter.)

Stephanie kept her trademark cool. She recovered her Grease gun and the laptop, then slid into the rear bench seat and over to the middle. Dr. Hausmann did not panic either. She grabbed Bob's Beretta off the ground and got into the rear left seat beside her assistant. "Yes, we must leave once Erica gets here! It's our last chance!"

"But what about Kathryn?" asked Stephanie as she reached across and pulled the door shut.

"If we stay, we will all die - or worse! We must think of the greater good, Stephanie. The world needs saving!"

"I know, but I don't like the thought of leaving her behind."

"Well, I'm not giving up my seat for her," said Lucy.
