Police Headquarters
As the heroes move through the station, they notice more activity than usual. One of the other plainclothes walks by and says, "big storm, Vic, we may need some of your task force."
Detective Broyko grunts in assent but doesn't otherwise respond. When the garage area is reached, the officers carrying large, covered crates of equipment look peeved. Another officer approaches Broyko and says, "It wasn't our fault, detective. She ripped her way out and dug her toes into the landscaping. We didn't know what to do."
The detective waves the officer away and heads out into the rain. Standing just outside the garage, in an island by the 'severe tire damage' sign, the leafy woman has planted herself. Literally.
Broyko walks over to her and says, "we need to talk, you can do this later."
Evergreen speaks, her voice reminiscent of the soughing currently made by the storm winds through leaves. "You will speak and I will listen, tell me of Johnny Shakura."
Broyko shakes his head before turning back to the garage. He shouts back over his shoulder, "not in the rain, I'll be inside."
As Evergreen comes into the garage, she joins Broyko in following the two carried "packages". There are holding cells, past two checkpoints, and this is where the stretchers are undraped and the two unconscious Crusaders are placed on bunks. Evergreen listens as Broyko assures her that Johnny is on the mend. When the question as to where they were held is finally put to her, she looks surprised, and says, "I thought you would know. We were home. Somehow, something turned TEACHER against us."
"I so wish I could help you. But my energy is too low. They'll be watching all the entrances and exits, and they've locked down all doors. You must get through and stop them."
She indicates that she's seen Mocker, Mace, Marionette, Hornet, Stormlord, and Shocker. She doesn't know if there's anyone else there and she doesn't know what they're planning.
