Isadora Carmichael

"She is in shock!" Isadora explains to the driver. "G-get the motor going! ...please!"

She glances back towards the building, nervously. Where is Balzac and Ron? Are they coming already?

Balzac shouts: "Turner! What is going on? What have you done?"

Henry,[color=#80BF00]“Quick then, get her in!”[/color] [b]Benny [/b]helps [b]Henry[/b] get [b]Alice[/b] into the back of his cab.

Isadora,Glancing back, [b]Isadora[/b] can see the [b]Boss[/b] climb into the cab of one of the trucks parked in the garage.

Balzac & Ron,[b]Balzac[/b] shouts after [b]Turner,[/b] but he’s gone. The reanimated thug has seized [b]Little Jimmy[/b] around the neck, and is squeezing his throat. [b]Jimmy[/b] beats ineffectually at his assailants chest and face.

Despite his anger, Ron takes careful aim before he squeezes the trigger. However, the shattering glass startles him and his shots go wild.

Balzac & Ron,The deceased mobster finishes his grisly work. [b]Little Jimmy[/b] ceases to struggle, and his face turns purple as he gasps his last breath. The reanimated corpse stands and lets out a scream of rage and anguish, then crumples to the floor, lifeless.

Isadora & Henry,[b]Alice[/b] is safely in the cab and [b]Benny[/b] has the engine running. As they stand there wondering what has become of the others, one of the trucks parked in the garage moves out. It passes the parked cab.

Everyone,Everyone can hear sirens in the distance.

Ron aims two (I assume?) more shots at the reanimated corpse.

"Come on already!" Isadora nervously screams out of the cab's window to Balzac and Ron. She knows that they cannot risk an encounter with the police.

"If they don't come to us right now, we might have to leave them behind..." she mumbles to the others.

Henry Glynn

"I'm only waiting for Balzac. If he doesn't get here soon this Ron character will have to look after himself!"

Balzac fills his lungs and roars at Ron, "Ron, we must run or we will be arrested!! The thugs are dead and we must find the trumpet man!! He must be stopped!!"

Whether Ron follows or not, Balzac races to the taxi.

Ron flees along with Balzac. As he goes he wipes down the pistol and flings it into some neighbouring undergrowth.

Everyone piles into the cab and Benny takes off at speed. On the way out, the cab passes a patrol car heading in the opposite direction.

“What the hell happened back there?” demands Benny. “I only stayed ‘cause that boy got kidnapped and I figured you folks was going to find out where they took ‘im, but I didn’t expect a war to break out! Are you in trouble? Wait, I don’t wanna know! You’d better tell me where you wanna go now, and I expect a very big tip!”

Balzac looks at the others, trying to get his brain working. "Fear not, Monsieur, you shall get the large tip indeed. Take us downtown for now, thank you."

He pauses to pull out a distinctive blue pack of Gauloises, lights one up then passes the pack around. The taxi fills with the aroma of strong French tobacco and Balzac cracks a window out of consideration for the ladies.

Balzac, hands no longer shaking, then quickly checks Alice's vitals.

"Well, mes amis, we are once again in the merde. What now, should we take Alice somewhere to recover or should we keep trying to find the mad trumpeter?"

OOC,Let me know if he needs to make a Medicine roll for Alice.
