Re: Road Trip II (19/04/01, 0800-1200)
The column made it to Rumble without eating any RPGs. They turned right, rolled down to Patterson. About halfway down, the radio crackled again on the secure channel. It was Rachel.
"Hotel Six from Lima Eleven, over."
Fox replied, "Lima Eleven this is Hotel Six, go ahead. Over."
"Ahhh... I got some worthwhile intel from those bozos that surrendered. They are part of a loose gang of mercenaries made up of deserters. They get guns, heavy weapons, bikes, gold and drugs from someone he won't say, but I'll bet are the Hotel Alphas. He doesn't say why. If I had to say, part is that this is the farm team, if you know what I mean.
"He also says there's a second group camped out at Metrotown, in the Holiday Inn Express by the Skytrain tracks.
"There's about thirty in number, various small arms, a couple MGs and RPGs. Also, they got a twin cannon of some kind mounted on a flatbed truck. They have lookouts on the BC Tel building at Boundary and Kingsway and others down the other way on Kingsway keeping watch. They hit people as they pass the mall. He doesn't know what they'll do if they get warned, but he thinks they'll run. Did you copy all that? Also, our relief should be here within ten mikes. Over."
There was a pause before Fox replied. "Uh, yeah, I got solid copy on that intel and your relief. Keep me updated. Out."
Fox called an immediate halt and climbed down from the Kodiak to talk to Andy, Taras and the others. "So what do you guys think? We're a little ways from Metrotown. Do we want to dismount here and proceed on foot or with the vehicles? Check out their HQ or their observation posts?"
