As Hailey walked with Neku, she looked ahead and saw, what seemed like a familiar face, walking with one that did not seem as familiar "Is that....?" was all Hailey could even ask before she took a few quick steps forward, ahead of Neku towards who she had seen.

Shelton nodded. "it'll be heavy, but if we look like we're just doing our job, nobody will probably stop us." He took one side of the bag. "The question will be whether we should come back; I'm a bit nervous about that fox guard."

Neku ran after Hailey, not quite able to keep up with her due to his injuries and fatigue...
_____________________________________________________________________

Roux leaned forward in her seat, wrapping her arms around Aisha in a hug.
"Hmm... Wouldn't know.  I've never had to go driving before.  Though I've heard it's fun."
She said with a little giggle...

Hailey rushed up to her friend and gave her a simple smile "Hey again Aimee"

Aimee looked to Hailey for just a moment "Hailey? What....what are you doing here? I thought that you were going to take care of that Hydra?"

"We did, took care of that as well as Drake, but there's already a problem that's risen up....okay, two problems, one, Soundwave, he's escaped the facility and is most likely, going to rebuild the Hydra at another unknown Dragonstorm location, and two....the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse....they're real and on the loose right now, and are extremly dangerous"

Aimee just looked at Hailey for a moment more "Who's Soundwave?"

"He's Drake's AI programe that I attempted to take on within the virtual reality machine of his....but failed in the process, but look, that's not the point I'm trying to make here, the point I am trying to make is that there are two very dangerous threats out there that need to be stopped" Hailey replied back, glancing to Xanthus, then back to Aimee again.

"Obviously you haven't taken Colonel Dietrik into consideration, not like you can stop him anyway" Xanthus chuckled lightly "And besides, even if you do somehow get to where he is....you would have to answer to Trinity"

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, hold on a second, Trinity is....where now?" Aimee asked, to which Hailey also arched an eyebrow somewhat.

"Washington D.C, which, as you should be well aware of, is a few states away from Nevada, and besides, the time you arrive there, it's going to be too late, Dietrik's plan will already be in motion....or possibly even by that point, complete....he's already captured Viper as it is" Xanthus chuckled again.

"Why.....why are you even telling me this if we can't head over there and stop him?" Aimee asked Xanthus.

"Simple, to show you how dire your plans are at stopping Dragonstorm are becoming"

"Well, you keep on thinking that all you want, cause I've still got plans to at least hinder Dragonstorm somewhat, and guess what? I do not need rest, cause you wanna know why? You wanna know why I don't need rest?" Hailey asked rhetorically.

"Hailey, everyone needs rest...." Aimee told her friend.

"Because Dragonstorm doesn't rest.  Dragonstorm never rests, whenever one of us goes and rests, that just gives Dragonstorm that much more of an egde over us, I should know, I was a Dragonstorm agent once before working with Trinity, sure, I was allowed to rest there, but she or Kain rest? No, they would just keep on working away, so don't go and say that I need rest, because I don't, I am not a weakling" Hailey replied back, looking to Aimee in particular.

"Yes, I understand that, but even you need at least some rest" Aimee told her.

"Did you just not hear a single word I just said? I do not need any rest, sure, I have not slept in three days worth, but so far, it has been worth it, I am finally getting somewhere with everything, and while you lot are all resting and what have you, I'm going to be up trying to figure out what the next move is going to be" Hailey told Aimee, actually narrowing her eyes to Aimee in the process "So don't talk to me about something you do not understand"

Neku walked up behind Hailey, nodding.
"As much as it worries me, she's right.  Every time we stop, Dragonstorm just gets that much further ahead of us.  We have to press forward if we even get close.  It's like the Achilles and the tortoise situation.  We just can't catch up."
He said, his good eye glinting intently...

"Hey, we forgot James and Chase!" Zachary exclaimed as he glanced back.

He then radioed the other SUVs. "You seen James or Chase?" he asked. None of the others replied in the affirmative.

------------------

Alfred got out of the SUV. "I'll go look for him," he said, shutting the SUV off.

------------------

(New Peenemunde Harbor, FL)

Dr. Kerzach shrugged. "Ah, she probably thought we're just cleaning up some garbage," he said. "Now help me lift him up!"

Dr. Kerzach took one end of the bag and lifted it up.

"If you say so," Shelton tentatively conceded. He grabbed the other side of the trash bag and helped lug it to the door.

<What direction is the garage?> he asked Kerzach. Having entered the facility unconscious, Shelton didn't know the layout of the base very well.

<Not too far from here,> Dr. Kerzach replied.

The two then carried the trash bag out of the room and headed towards the garage.

Miraculously, none of the guards and assorted workers milling about the campus paid any attention to the two.

-------------------------

(Cornova, NM)

Alfred went into the lobby and took the elevator to the floor that he and others stayed at. When he arrived he saw Chase and Dr. Zanasiu.

"Chase! James! We're ready to leave!" he said.

"We've got an assassin! Help us take 'em down!" Dr. Zanasiu ordered.

Alfred realized that he had left his firearms in the SUV and they were packed away. Looking around for a weapon, he settled on an end table. He quickly inverted the table and snapped off its leg - a solid piece of wood narrowing from as thick as James's thigh to about the size of James's arms. He held the table leg like a giant baseball bat.

The predator, revealed to be a super-sized wolf spider, stared with soul-less eyes at the prey, then ran off in the other direction at mach speed.  Within seconds, it will reach them from behind...

Dr. Zanasiu looked as the predator ran away. He lowered his shotgun. "Will it be back?" he asked.

Alfred shrugged. "Dunno but we'd better get the f--- out of here!" he said.

Dr. Zanasiu grabbed Chase's arm and bolted towards the stairwell. "Come on!"

Alfred followed, still holding his improvised club.

Aimee just looked at Neku for a long, hard second after he spoke before speaking herself "Alright, alright, you've got a point, both of you, however, that will leave the question on where to strike first"

"Okay, okay, as much as the whole resting thing isn't a good idea, you lot go and find a hotel or something for the night, I will catch up with you lot later on this night" Hailey told all three of them.

"And where are you going to be going?" Aimee asked with an arched eyebrow.

"A diner of some sort, I need some food or something....and that will give me some time to myself to figure out where we shall strike next" Hailey spoke as she looked to Xanthus, still wondering who he was.

"I've seen that look....I should introduce myself to you if we are to be working together for the time being, you may call me Xanthus" Xanthus told her.

Hailey continued to look at Xanthus "Yeah....you should really wear a shirt...." she spoke, noticing that he, of course, did not wear a shirt.

There were several military-grade vehicles in the garage, but Shelton thought they'd have an easier time hot-wiring one of the standard pick-up trucks sitting in a row to the side.

<Keep an eye out, and I'll have this one ready to drive in like 5 minutes,> Shelton told Kerzach, scanning a room for the necessary equipment.

Dr. Kerzach nodded. The garage seemed to be totally deserted .

-----------------------

(Cornova, NM)

"So glad you could join us," Spc. Crota said, slithering up to Dr. Williams.

Sgt, Masters was still coiled up on his seat and asleep.

"What is taking Alfred, Dr. Zanasiu and Chase so long!?" Cobalt Leader demanded.

"Or they could be in trouble," Gustave replied.

"Well, I've got all my things," Zachary said.

Neville grabbed two cups of coffee for himself and Kiara. Both of them were sitting at the mess hall.

"So how do you think the rest of the team's doing?" he asked, adding some sugar to his coffee.

Chase followed as quickly as he could, but the attacker soon reached them and brushed past Alfred like a blur.  He would've snagged the makeshift club from his hand.  If Alfred had hung on, he would be sent flying backwards...

Meanwhile, the ship near completion is being carefully loaded with ballistic missiles.  Also, the defensive weapons systems are being armed by hand...

(OOC:  Crimson Base is in Utah.  That's where Neville should be.)

Neku smiled at Hailey.  
"I'll come with you, Hailey.  If you don't mind."
He said, smiling st her, then eyeing Xanthus a little...
______________________________________________________________

Inside the SUV, Roux shut her eyes for a moment, then they snapped open.
"Aisha, stay here.  There's a dragonstorm inside."
She said, flickering out of view...
She reappeared just in front of the creature, now holding her knives...
