Meari led her group to the roof, she looked for the other shuttle and then covered her team as they headed for Brivet and their van on the other side of the building. Meari would move them quick and get out of here. Meari says too Froth," You have a way too make this building go away after we get out of here that wont take long?"

  ''I don't have much on me.. I'll drop something down.....get something going  from on top...

  Robbins   saw  in a bit of a confused  voice,there is  still ..my ..trap on the one door..it will go off..

   Froth  started the to work, then  said  'the 9 hells with it"..he  Pulled a  pin from a grenade  , dropped it in  his  bag and threw the Bag down the  stairs  and  ran..

 they were barely away from the  Building  whe the  explosion went off shattering the  Dromer doors,  and shaking the structure...

 brivet looked  down and saw the  smoking crashed Van..and  the bodies  sprawled..Damn!..i won't get dredit  for that kill...

  Robbins leaned back against the  wall of the  vans, bits  of splinters  still in him..

Tulliun was sitting in the van, looked over at Robbins, the to Meari. Do we need to let Med know we're coming back wounded?

  brivet calls back...Stefi has a med tech  set up  in one of the rooms  in shadow's wing of his condo..if  we have  anyone hurt real bad, they  get  them in a Van and Up to Hermes Med tech

He leaned back, Well, alright then. he smiled.

He looked down at the splinters in his front.Guess I'll get a head start on that treatment. He reaches down and starts pulling out the fragments.

 Meari sat in the shuttle and now that the op was over, she relaxed a bit and then said," Let me see how bad it is Robbins." Meari would give a quick look too see if he had any bad injuries, she has too take care of right now.

 " Base this is Big Purple on way in we have some splinter injuries from booby trap, but I think we are pretty good coming home." Meari then said to Brivet," Get us home and great job, and I will confirm that kill for you Brivet."

After the rooms on the second floor had been checked Maria & Justin climbed to the Attic and cautiously checked it for occupants and booby traps.

In reply to Nik-Just (msg # 232):

"There has got to either be a way down or a hidden room or bolthole.  Irish are known for that.  I don't see him among the dead or wounded.  You see anything?" she asked as she walked about.  "Wonder if our companion saw anything else?" referring to the stem rat eyes they had helping them.

"I don't do Banjo, guitars.  We still haven't found our mark dead or alive, did gain a few kids chained up.  say he is still here.  do we have schematics of what this place should look like?  I am having trouble finding his bolt hole" she commed back to Beth, not wanting to call out her name unless he was listening.

     Justin  and Maria ae on the third floor, with  three rooms  left to check.

 Hemsly waited at the bottom of the stairs.waiting for Nikki to  chose what to do.

After Maria launched herself at the door Justin stepped forward giving the partially open door a shove . Quickly stepping to one side of the frame. Sweeping the area with his Glock. His finger resting on its trigger ready to fire a burst at any threat.

"Helmsly, keep an eye here.  Justin, coming up to join you" maybe she was paranoid, maybe not.  Still she headed up.  glancing at kicked in doors and their rooms as she passed to come up behind Justin and Maria.  "3 doors, 3 of us.  Justin pick one, Maria, I'll take what's left and then kick on 3.  Justin do a count when we are in position"
 She waited until other doors were chosen and moved up.

, Niki's door kicked Opne, there  wasn't anyone there.., the room had been used, judging by the sheets, but no one  in sight.

  Maris Kicked the Door with more then a little Latin anger,, she  fire  three times, and  Kill two pillows...no one In the Room.

 Justin Kicked in the door....and there he was,  I metal suit  case and  a small SMG in his hand, he  turned the weapon on Justin.....back off Lad..ya  don't have to die...

Signing a count down then acting in unison with the other two. Reacting to the sight and threat. Justin didn't hesitate firing three rapid bursts at the purp. Rounds chewed up the immediate area; sending pieces of clothing flying about.

"Looks like you got the zonker Justin" She said hearing the long stream of bullets.  She began to turn towards him even as Maria massacred the bed linen.  She peeked around Justin "Think you got him Tex" she took a closer look to see if he was even gonna twitch then commed Beth "Justin got and cut target meat"

 beth's  Voice  came back...come on home then, don't forget any donations to the Delta Fleet war chest!

 Hemsly looked out the door leaning a bit  from his spot near the  stairs...don't see nothing from in here?

 Chatty COMed,nothing out here  yet.. all kids  of FC  Trucks flying through the  air though

In reply to Nicole Rutledge (msg # 293):

Thanks replied Justin as he moved forward clearing the weapons which he added to those he'd collected from the other bodies grabbing the suitcase. Searching the body for Intel then swiping the perps wrist and clearing any personal data (funds) and such.

Roo didn't know what to do then and there. She had opened up her mouth and asked questions she could see hadn't helped out any. She hadn't done so to hurt him, and she figured he knew that as well, but it still didn't make her feel any better. With nothing else to really say to Zob about the situation, Roo just went with what her little bit of empathy was telling her to do.

Letting her P90 dangle on its chest strap, Roo moved front to front with Zob and wrapped her arms around him... well, as far around the big lug as she could get.. and hugged him tight for a few seconds, before stepping back.

In reply to Roo Taliapapa (msg # 296):

Zob was taken a bit by surprised at Roo's hug but it wasn't unwelcome once she took a step back he smiled a bit, "Thank you i appreciate it seriously" he then snuffed out the cigar and placed it in a sealed container before slipping it back in his pocket.

  There was a whistle from Shadow......Mount up!... Banjo Babe is  done, time to hit the  Condo!

 brooks packed up his   thigns  and  sat  in the Van.. Flore   shut the drivers  door  and  starting it up.

Zob turned his head when Shadow gave the heads up they were going home, "Come on Roo lets get heading back you have a nice lady waiting for you... don't wanna keep her waiting" he gave a small toothy grin as he walked back to the Van and mounted up to leave.

Roo moved quickly to take a seat, ready to get back to the condos and Sam. She grinned right back at him, quirking a brow or two as well. "Yea, that little Lady and I have some business to take care of, indeed." She sat back and laughed, ready for this day to get immensely better.

With the three rooms cleared, weapons collected and bodies scanned, there wasn't anything more to do. Joining Maria, Justin nodded appreciatively at her tightly clustered grouping.

Nikki sent Beth an image of the Irishman for confirmation.

"Search the house and dead.  image and ID dead for any future connections.  Firebomb the residence, any food and loose creds we'll leave for our 'unseen' companion across the way" she said.  All was done within minutes.  They left quietly to around the corner where they left 2 descent size boxes for their stem watcher.  good food and a few other things they could use or pawn for creds.
Nikki called back Chatty to pick them up, the rescued kids with them.
