IC-OMAHA-Bad to the Bone(Darnell/Keith/Brian/etc.)

[Mr. Handy]

In front of the warehouse-
"No idea, mon," said Lou. "Your guess is as good as mine."

[Mr Zombie killer]

Handy,Can you give me some idea of the streets around the warehouse and area so I have a choice to make instead of doing this blindly? Thanks!

[Mr. Handy]

On the main floor-
"Brian, you can get back to work now, mon," called Damon.

Brian crawled out from under the tarp, lifted it up, and resumed his repairs on the Mustang. It would be slower going without Ernie's able help, but he would still get it done fairly quickly. He guessed he could finish the repairs by a little past 10:00 PM.

In the storage room-
Keith returned to the storage room. The trapdoor stood invitingly open, and beneath it the stairs led down to the basement.

In the hydroponics room-
Lisa and Heather waited.

In the bathroom-
"Give me your leg," said Wesley. Erica squirmed when he reached for it. "Your leg's hurt too. I'm going to treat it." She relented and let him lift her leg out of the tub. He rubbed it and put ointment on it, but there was little else he could do. The tub continued to gradually fill.

Outside the warehouse-
"We're not going to find them standing around out here," said Lou to Darnell. "Just pick a direction and we'll start looking."

OOC,[b]Darnell[/b], the description I gave in my last update is all you can see from your current position, and you're not familiar with the neighborhood. You know that the school is about a mile to the south, but that's about it. If you want to see what's in a given direction, you'll have to start moving that way, and then I'll tell you more. You may roll Listen to see if you can hear something nearby. The base skill is 25%.

[Mr. Handy]

OOC,Never mind about the Listen roll.

Outside the warehouse-
Darnell heard a familiar voice coming from the alleyway between the warehouses. It was Coach Ron Moore! "Darnell?' he called out. "Darnell, is that you?"

[Mr Zombie killer]

Darnell kept his gun carefully showing and said, "Coach Moore, why did you try to attack us when all we want is to lead like you all taught us to do on the football team?"

[Mr. Handy]

Outside the warehouse-
"Shit, Darnell," Ron said, "I was coming here to try and prevent all of this..... nonsense. When I heard they were coming to look for that young lady, I tried to get here before them and talk to you to prevent all this shit from happening. Looks like I was too late.

"This isn't leading, Darnell. Kidnapping that woman was not the character of the young men I raised on that field."

[Mr Zombie killer]

Darnell snarled and said, "I did not want to kidnap her. But you all want to put me in jail for killing someone who had to face justice, I was God's hands in that deal and He protects me. Now who is going to protect you?" Darnell leveled his gun at Coach Moore and said to Lou, "Looks like we got another hostage, one that we can use to get the others back here. Down on your knees hands behind your head sir."

[Mr. Handy]

OOC,You can't actually see [b]Ron[/b] from your current position, but you can hear his voice from the alley. You'll have to move to the alley's mouth in order to do that.

[Tabs]

Trapdoor?,You may have already said, but where is it?--I mean the floor or ceiling, and does it lead outside?

Keith thinks: "We're all gonna die in here, I need to get away."

[Mr Zombie killer]

Darnell moved to the ally's mouth and leveled his gun at Coach Moore and said, "I did not want to kidnap her. But you all want to put me in jail for killing someone who had to face justice, I was God's hands in that deal and He protects me. Now who is going to protect you?" Darnell said to Lou, "Looks like we got another hostage, one that we can use to get the others back here. Down on your knees hands behind your head sir."

[Mr. Handy]

Trapdoor?,You may have already said, but where is it?--I mean the floor or ceiling, and does it lead outside?

Keith thinks: "We're all gonna die in here, I need to get away."

OOC,Yes, I did say, and I thought it was evident from the description above. The trapdoor is in the floor and leads back down to the basement.

[Tabs]

Keith goes down the stairs in search of Wesley.

[Mr. Handy]

Outside the warehouse-
Lou moved to the mouth of the alley with Darnell.

OOC,[b]Darnell[/b] is moving to the thread linked below. Please stop reading the current thread at this point. Everyone else remains in the current thread.

Tables Turned

On the main floor-
Brian busied himself with the repairs, not wanting to think about the death and carnage he knew had to be in the hall outside.

In the basement entryway-
Keith descended the stairs into the basement. The door to the hydroponics room stood open.

In the hydroponics room-
Lisa and Heather continued to wait.

In the bathroom-
Wesley released Erica's leg and examined her head again. "That's going to need stitches," he said, and got to work. He began sewing up the wound very thoroughly while Doug and Roy watched.

[Tabs]

In the basement entryway-

Keith continues onwards to the hydroponics room.

[Mr. Handy]

In the hydroponics room-
Heather and Lisa looked up when Keith entered. "Is my dad all right?" asked Lisa anxiously.

In the bathroom-
Erica leaned her head back while Wesley worked on it. She closed her eyes and tried to keep her tears bottled up. The tub was now almost halfway filled.

[Tabs]

Keith-

"Your Dad is indestructable--don't worry about him. He's chasing those attackers who survived, frankly, the attackers are as good as dead.

"Wesley is needed up above. Where is he?"

[Mr. Handy]

In the hydroponics room-
"He's in the bathroom, looking after Erica," said Lisa. "I'll go get him. I just hope Dad stays safe." She hurried into the barracks. "Wesley! They need you upstairs."

"Well," said Heather to Keith, "I totally never expected to see you again. I thought either Darnell was gonna kill you or you'd run away."

In the bathroom-
"I'll have to finish up later," said Wesley to Erica, gathering up his medical gear.

"I'll stand guard," said Roy to Doug. "You can go with him if you like."

"Okay," said Doug. He and Wesley left the bathroom.

Erica cringed as Roy leered at her.

[Tabs]

Keith answers Heather.

"Darnell is all mouth--I ain't scared of him. Run away? Huh! you don't know your man." Keith attempts to balloon his chest.

Keith enters the bathroom.

[Mr. Handy]

In the hydroponics room-
"Whatever," said Heather with a shrug as Keith left the room. Wesley, Lisa, and Doug returned through the same door.

In the bunkroom-
Keith entered the barracks-like room with various beds. To the left was the open doorway leading to the communal bathroom. Through it he could see and hear what Roy was doing. If Roy noticed him, he didn't give any indication yet.

In the bathroom-
Roy leaned his baseball bat against the wall. "You know," he said, "I could do with a bath myself." He ogled Erica while he took off his clothes. She looked away in disgust.

[Tabs]

Keith leers at the scene in the bathroom.

When Roy is naked and at his most vulnerable Keith will enter the bathroom and pick up Roy's baseball bat, Keith will also draw his knife.
