Rawhide went back to the green room and turned on his go phone. Big Norse was calling him. "Are you back in position?" he asked.
"Rawhide, we got a BIG problem."
"How big?"
"Big trouble in little China Big. Someone stole the Beast and the heart is inside it."
"Say again?" He didn't just hear what he thought he heard.
"We are five blocks from the Fillmore. A car fish tailed in front of us. Hotrod and I were checking out the car and hummer and then wham. The car left and the hummer behind it."
Rawhide grumbled, "I hate California." Thinking, he would pull Tommy Boy out and get her working on the GSP and tractor that was on the Beast and call all BBI's to attention in the area. This was way to important. "Have you called the Police?"
"Hot rod is doing that on his go phone."
"Once you make your report and tell them about the heart. Get back to the bus once you are done.If the police do not respond to your request, tell them that You will call John Davis yourself for there was a precious cargo on board."
"Gotcha." Rawhide came back to the stage.
The Cavaliers were starting back out onto the stage for an encore.
Rawhide caught Tommy Boy's arm and shook his head. She followed him into the green room. "Need you to get on the bus pronto. The Beast has been car jacked with the heart."
Tommy Boy handed him her guitar and found her parka and headed out the back door. Making her way back to the world watch one v.9 (if lotus and wordperfect do it why not world watch one?) She sat down and started entering commands here and there.
Rawhide came in a few minutes later. He put on the second pair of headphones and accessed the bbi register. "Where is it?"
"Still in town. Not moving." She accessed maps of area. "It's at Broadway and Stockton."
Rawhide looked at the map and saw in small print what was at Broadway and Stockton. "Damn." he muttered. "China town." Not waiting for comment, Rawhide brought up the perimeters for his search of the registry: 20 miles radius of Broadway and Stockton, level 3 or better (trained fighters). Ten names came up on the screen. He entered information to check in with him on the go phone, priority orange, their second highest rating.
The stakes of getting the heart were turning higher than anticipated. The front of the bus opened and the band started filing in to the bus.
Buckaroo made his way back toward Tommy Boy and Rawhide. "Where's Big Norse, Hotrod and the Beast?" he asked.
"Houston, we got a problem." Rawhide commented back
