Well Ron, do you remember when I mentioned those Thumb Drives earlier? Not all of your footage is destroyed, just 99% of it.

And thanks for the 6-pack Ben.

And tell Molly if she avoids using a flashbang on me this time I'll take her out for ice cream.

And here I thought I was the only nut around here that hoarded MREs. They're better than eating bugs but only marginally.

Yeah, mybe your right, after all I am her type; O+.

But I think we already have enough guys off on their own right now, and beside, I am tired of luggin' round this stuff.

Anyone see Bert!

I'm posting from the back seat of my car. I had it totally sealed up when the attack happened so it only took some exterior cosmetic damage.

Well howdy Bert...you are lookin' well, despite the fact. You new toys are in the back of the Hummer Happy Birthday Bert, knock yourself out.

Knock myself out? Only if I use 'em wrong like that kid from A Christmas Story

Thanks again Ben.

So whos our first priority, the livin' sleep disorder, or that candy ass Khavik?

Khavik. If he can launch one of these attacks even monthly we'll never live to deal with Mr. Shithead.

Well, Im here for the party and my dance card is open.

Lets get this asshole.

Sounds good. We'll move as soon as we're able. I think I know a guy that can reattach that hand if we find the child alive, so time is of the essence.

Ok....did the object reading tell us where the kid is. If not your psychic is second rate. Next, Im calling dibs on sniper, I can pick tha peeant off from a mile & a half from 60 stories up, at night, in the rain if I have to. Hes got a kid....hey wait a minute.

You still got that hand?

Shadow had it last I knew. He said he could track the kid when we were ready.

Alright then, so who's comin' with us? and where are we goin'?

Uh... guys? I took ashikaga up on that rental car... neglected to bring a map along with me though...

I THINK I'm somewhere in Ohio...

Idaho has potatos. What does Ohio have? If you figure it out, bring me some.

Groan)

Give the kid a break Bert. Robin I can't give anything other than the obvious for advise. Um how long have you been on the road?

Any signs of civilization? You're better off asking locals for directions instead of us.

Ok Robin, justhead south by south east, follow the screams. You should find us easy enough

How much gas you have?

Holister you are not helping.

Didn't you know? Ben doesn't make things better, he makes them worse before Murphy has the chance to.

I have a LAW in my trunk, if I shoot it off and straight up, maybe he'll see it?

I see your point there Bert, Murphy does not have a chance.

No Ben, LAWs don't have that sort of range. Too bad Robin doesn't know how to navigate by the constellations. Not that we could see any in Washington D.C.

Hunting a Kyuuketsuki? The one that did this? I would consider it an honor to help bring such a being a chance at redemption. (May he be more fortunate in his next life, it is already late in coming)

Kyuuketsuki? I don't suppose you know the Western (that is English) name for it.

I thinks its a vampire there Bert. And at least when I make things worse, I bring beer to wash away the pain.

Like Ms. Darken, sorry not all the words are in the dictionaries I learned this language from.

Ahhh, okie dokie, Vampire. Yes. Although, I hesitate to call this, thing, anything like Cee, if you catch my meaning.

Ben, ever consider that its the beer that leads to these mini-disasters?

Yeah he means a Vampire, and the one we are after is in serious need of being sent to the next life.
