Lake Sarnac, New York
2200 hours

 The group of travelers have been in and out of tough scrapes over the last few days, days that seemed to be years.  They have been shot at by bootleggers on Lake Champlain, stumbled upon one of the largest booze smuggling operations in the Northeast, landed in Lake Placid to find themselves thrust into International intrigue, torture, mystics and potential assassinations.

While they've found a lead to getting paying jobs on an archeological dig, they have had a series of run ins with Imperial Japanese agents.  These men have tortured and nearly killed two of the parties men, they have set up a bug in the room of the Franklin Delano Roosevelt, Governor of New York. They themselves were talked into collecting information on participants of the kickoff ball at the Lake Placid Lodge.  Now, with a great meal in their bellies, they have gone to Lake Sarnac a few miles away where Iains plane has been painted.

Iain, Amelia, Doc and Marek went by sleigh with the incapacitated Amelia.  Si, Artemis and Charlie went by way of luxury car owned by LaMont Cranston, a former pilot and war buddy of Artemis.

Artemis, Charlie and Si step outside, something seems off, they can see the shadow of a man inside, behind the door.  Then they hear a familiar voice clearly from inside.

"It is too late!  DROP YOUR WEAPONS NOW!!!"

Si tries to place the  sound of the voice.,,to  see if he can tell who it  was. He  makes   no effort to move as he  looks for other   people who may be outside .

 he nods to Artemis  to speak, as he himself looks  for   a near Shadows, that he might use   to move up on  anyone he can see.

Si's keen trained ear knows exactly who it is, Iain, and it's coming from the boathouse.  He can't see Iain, and it's not likely the shadowy figure behind the door, but Iain is in the building.

    giving  Artemis a nod, Si will move to the Building, slipping into the shadows,  with hsi weapon  held  Under his  coat for a  quick slash should he need it...

  working his way up  the   building towards the door.

"Oh, let's not do this, shall we? I mean with us being friends and such, is there really the need for all the drama?" Artemis said as he continued to step forward, leaning on his walking stick.  He slowly looked about as he tried to recall where he had heard that voice.

From outside on the gravel, Si and Artemis here a loud crack, a gunshot rings out from inside the plane hanger.

  Si will move oast the door on the parking lot side. Moving as qui8ckly and  quietly as he is able, he will try to reach the door on the other side, to sneak in..

 as he passed the door he points to artemins  to stay/enter  the  door of the parking area.

Si moves out staying low and moving quickly along the north side of the building, toward the far side door on the east side.

 as he   nears the  door, his Tomahawk is  apradey in his right  hand, Hiss Knife in his left.. he move  to the  far door, Lsiening, watchign  for Movement. if/when he makes it to the door, he take a bit of a peak, to see if he see's  any enemy types.

"Good Lord, what was that?" Artemis shouted out feigning a bit more surprise than he would, having a clear understanding of what it was he heard.  He began walking towards the door leaning a bit more on his walking stick as he did so.

PM

Artemis asked, Good Lord, what was that?, Charlie responds as he walks around the front of the car, Pistoli shot, light caliber......................... bought time we had some gun play 'round here. Charlie pulls both his six guns, twirling them in his fingers.  He takes a wide stance infront of the door, pistols in hand, Do me a favor, kick that door open Artemis.

Si is about to round the corner on the building.
A SHOT RINGS OUT.

Si rounds the corner and can see the open door.

  Si  calls upon his  skills. to use the shadows and his  stealth, His   Tomahawk and   Longknife  ready,.closing  in on the  two  enemies.. he will judge if he can cut them down, at very least, Maiming them, to keep them out of the  fight.

"Alright, we can give that a shot," Artemis said to Charlie.

He walked over leaning on his walking stick and tried kicking the door somewhat feebly.
