Perfect Tommy climbed into the driver's seat of the Beast. He smiled at his two guards, mumbling under his breath "Not cool... really not cool."
A soft click from the intercom told him he had been heard.
* 88 * ** * 88 * ** * 88 * ** * 88 * **
Norse heard the comment through the listening device on board and switched over to bands of Reno, Panther, Tommy Boy and Nighthawk.
"They've been separated." Big Norse informed them. She turned on another program that tracked where Buckaroo was going. "There is an office." she looked to see who was closest to his position. "Tommy Boy." She checked the plans of the warehouse. "There is a window facing out from the office and it only has one door from the inside plant."
Tommy Boy looked to her left and right and saw to her right a light turn on. "Got it." she whispered. She made her way to window. She was able to see Buckaroo talk with the dwarf. "Covered."
* 88 *
Perfect Tommy pretended to inspect the vehicle but was turning on the surveillance system. Big Norse saw this and typed in "B. Covered."
Mumbling out loud to himself and to be heard by Big Norse "Nice knowing that, wonder where they take the garbage from these things to?" He looked to one of the beefy guards. "You cleaned this out real good."
Big Norse understood that there was no heart in the vehicle. She turned on to Reno, Panther, and Nighthawk. "Looks someone may have to go garbage jumping. The hummer is cleaned out."
Nighthawk look to his left and found the dumpster. "Reno, come around to me."
* 88 *
The snow was coming constantly. Tommy Boy was having a hard time keeping her position and keep the snow out of her face.
Buckaroo was still playing around with the dwarf over the price. She waited to hear if Panther would find anything. If he did they would have to create a diversion and get the hummer and themselves out of harms way.
* 88 *
Nighthawk opened the lid to he dumpster and found many boxes stack to the top. "It couldn't be easy could it." he mumbled to himself. He started shifting through boxes. Reno came up beside him to keep watch as he rummaged.
Five long minutes later, a cooler was found in the bottom. Pulling it out by the handle, it had all the warnings on it.
"We got it. Repeat. We have the heart." Reno reported.
Big Norse smiled. "Yes!" she cha-chinged her arms.
Moving to the console she typed to Perfect Tommy "We have the heart."
Reno gave out the idea. "Nighthawk and I are falling back to the bus. Panther, support Perfect Tommy. See if he can get that Hummer revved."
Big Norse typed in Reno's plan.
Perfect Tommy smiled to himself, muttering "Show time."
Tommy Boy saw that the dwarf was unarmed, leaving that to his guards. If things could be done, break the window and jump out and meet up with the hummer. At least that could be a plan. She looked around, the snow obscuring anything that could be used to throw at the window.
While she was looking, a large blast could be heard not far from their position. Turning, Tommy Boy asked to herself, "what the hell?"
