Scorch Scale:
Scorch Scale felt a little pride bubble in being believed by a longer lived hero.
"I got this." He said out loud, for the others but more for himself. He got this, as Scorch Scale, Saul has this in the bag. He should be able to get out without further injury, because that would bring complications into his life if he needed to visit a doctors... Or a vet...
Putting his concerns aside, he put more focus onto his senses and what they picked up to follow the trail by rubber and heat.
The trail leads for blocks. It is determined that Scorch Scale and Patch-Work Powerhouse will crouch on the hood of the police car (holding onto some of her tendrils that anchor her to the hood of the car), and he points the way forward, following his nose...
The trail leads to an alleyway not far away... but while the smell is strong there, the truck is absent... sniffing around further... Ah ha! The truck was clearly in the alley for a little while, but then it continued on down the street... paused at a stoplight...
They see the truck again in the parking lot of a police station. There are a lot of police hanging around.
"Someone take this guy and put 'im in a holding cell, fast," says Al the policeman, dragging the body of Blue Dragon out of the back of the squad car. "Some new powered criminal, apparently got electrical shock powers, when he's awake. Get him under lock and key, fast, and then we can negotiate with 'im after he wakes up."
They do so.
"What the heck are those things on yer hood, Al?" another policeman asks.
"More powered vigilantes, apparently, like Silver Streak. He vouches for 'em... says they helped with that 'Blue Dragon' guy. What's the story on this truck? It's what the Blue Dragon was fighting over."
"We dunno, we were just trying to figure that out. Someone started a fire in the cab with straw and a lighter. We put it out, but there was a note on the windshield that said 'check the flat back.' We've been tryin' t' figure it out. None of the tires are flat, not even the spare... the bed of the truck's got wooden crates in it, looks like they're filled with farm equipment, rakes and hoes and things..."
