IC-SWORD-The Lockbox(Zoe/Raquel/Katarina/Lara)
Z-Day - 6:58 PM Mountain Time - Unknown location
In the van-
The four women locked in the back of the van continued their hellish ride into the unknown. It was too dark inside the van to see anything, and there was no way of knowing whether it was still light outside or not. The van rolled onwards at the same speed, carrying them to a terrible fate. As agonizing as the journey was, things would undoubtedly get far worse when it stopped.
Raquel Orozco had been able to do nothing but cry the whole time. Her best friend Alicia Vargas was dead. Zoe Gallagher had accidentally shot and killed her when Jeff was holding her hostage, but Raquel didn't blame the other woman. Alicia had told her to shoot and not to surrender, after all. She knew it was Jeff's fault, but she also blamed herself. She had talked Alicia into helping her and Lara escape from their cells, against Alicia's better judgment. Alicia had said she didn't want to die, but perhaps she was better off now than the rest of them. They had been recaptured anyway, which made her death seem meaningless.
Zoe Gallagher lay uncomfortably on the floor of the van, her arms still handcuffed behind her back. Raquel wore handcuffs too, though Zoe had previously picked the lock so she could slip them off any time she wanted. Unfortunately, Zoe was unable to reach the lock on her own handcuffs, and none of the other women knew how to pick locks. Zoe knew that Jeff's brother Mutt was furious that she and Lara Voronova had killed him, and she was certain that tonight they would both pay for it.
Lara was utterly terrified. It was she who had fired the bullet that had killed Jeff, and she knew she would bear the brunt of Mutt's vengeance. He had only just begun to torture her when they were forced to flee from the PMS compound, and she still couldn't believe the horrors that had driven them out. She kept her fears suppressed by clinging to her hate of the skinheads for what they had done to her and her friends.
The fourth woman, Katarina Iliescu, was little more than a girl. She couldn't have been older than eighteen, yet she had a wisdom beyond her years. The others didn't know how she managed to stay in control of herself or how she was able to manipulate the men so easily, but even so, the Romanian beauty was not doing so well. Her situation seemed just as dire, and the craving in the pit of her stomach would not go away.

Re: IC-SWORD-The Lockbox(Zoe/Raquel/Katarina/Lara)
Zoe has been dozing in the back of the van, she begins to focus and again apologises to Raquel, "I'm sorry for what I did to Alicia - I know you have forgiven me, but I can't forgive myself; her death will haunt me for all of the short time I have left to my life." Zoe begins to cry.

"Don't say that," said Lara. "We're not dead yet. If more of them get eaten, we might have a chance. Even if there's nothing we can do, Mutt might spare your life. I'm the one who killed Jeff. He'll kill me for certain when he's done with me, but I'm sure he'll take his time." She paused in thought as the van trundled along the bumpy road. "God, what can we do?"

Zoe stops crying and honks her nose clear of snot, "I have an idea!"

After another minute or so, the van started to slow down. It pulled to the right a little and gradually came to a halt.

Zoe considers attempting to slip her legs through her handcuffed arms, which are behind her back, but decides to wait and see and hope.
Re: IC-SWORD-The Lockbox(Zoe/Raquel/Katarina/Lara)
In the van-
Raquel racked her brain, but her plight still seemed hopeless. Katarina was in distress too, but she still held out some hope. Lara's mind was racing as she tried to think of a way out.
Zoe's caution was well placed, for she heard footsteps approaching the van's door. The door slid open, and she saw Mutt and Ghost standing outside with their assault rifles ready. Though the light was just starting to fade, it was still bright enough to cause the women to squint after their time in the darkness. The two men stood in a dirt road, and beyond them was flat, lightly wooded ground that seemed to continue forever.
"Okay, ladies," said Mutt. "We're stopping for the night. Katarina, come on out. The rest of you girls stay put."

Re: IC-SWORD-The Lockbox(Zoe/Raquel/Katarina/Lara)
Zoe says to no-one in particular, "There is something in the woods, I know there is, it's horrible!"

"Don't fret," said Ghost, "we're not gonna let anything happen to you."
"I didn't see anything out there," said Mutt. "If you're afraid there is something and you don't want to attract its attention, just keep your voices down and you'll be fine."
Katarina slid forward and climbed out of the van, where Mutt took her by the arm.
"Just relax, Zoe," said Ghost as he slid the door shut. "I'll be back for you after we get settled in." The lock clicked shut, leaving the other three women trapped in darkness. Footsteps began walking away towards the front of the van.

Re: IC-SWORD-The Lockbox(Zoe/Raquel/Katarina/Lara)
Zoe sighs, "Those scum have taken Katarina." Then in a grim voice, "Maybe our execution will not be too soon, the rats need to hole up first, there might be a chance for revenge."

"Errr..oh! Can't do it, must be all stiff."
Re: IC-SWORD-The Lockbox(Zoe/Raquel/Katarina/Lara)
In the van-
Raquel managed to hear very well what was going on outside the van, and Lara was able to hear some of it too.
"Keep trying," said Lara softly. "They're gone now, but I don't know how long before they come back. They won't kill Katarina. Maybe she can help us from the outside."

"Raquel, lend a hand; help me to force my legs through."
Re: IC-SWORD-The Lockbox(Zoe/Raquel/Katarina/Lara)
In the van-
"I will help," said Raquel. She removed her own cuffs and crawled over, feeling her way in the dark, then lent Zoe a hand. "The hard part is getting your arms past your rear. Then you can slide them under your legs." Even with her help, Zoe knew that everything depended on her own coordination.

"Mustn't panic, Zoe," she says to herself.

Even with Raquel's help, Zoe wasn't making much progress.
"I can't stand it in here," said Lara. "We've got to get out before they come back."

Zoe tries again.

Again, Zoe realized that she was trying to hard. Once she relaxed her muscles, she easily slipped her arms under her legs and around them, so that they were now in front of her.
