Chapter 2 - The Riders
They had waited long enough and the majority were set on following the plan.
“I think we’ve sat around long enough. Everyone. We’re heading out. But before that, Bossk...” On cue the large lizard man removed a piece of paper from his pouch and sprawled it out on one of the larger tables.
It looked to be a map of some sort of where they were.
“Yeah sorry about that, it’s pretty shit. Only one we could find was in a brochure so obviously not everything’s up to scale, but Bossk here as made some improvements.” She pointed to the other side of the map where police station had been written in read.
“That’s where we’ll find the Riders. Probably think having the police station as their HQ is cute.”
“Weren’t you going to try and make that our HQ?” Matt asked sheepishly only to be met by a glare from Ashley that quickly shut him up.
“So, we just make a beeline for the station and bring them to…” Akande paused.
“Er, where are the buildings where the traps are, Bossk?”
Bossk pointed to the north west area of the map.
“Like the boss said, maps only really good a basic look of the area, but I’ve started to learn this city like the back of my own hand. I’ll get you where you need to be don’t worry.”
“Speaking of us,” Dhaos replied looking around at the group.
“Right now we are quite many in our group, it will be hard to get through the city without being detected.”
“As it turns out, we may have a solution,” Moira said, pointing to an area near the Tower on the map, then a building surrounded by forest up st the top.
“There’s a shopping district right here...as well as a factory up here. The former may have supplies, and the latter is either filled with weapons or a possible hideout for the Others. Some of us can investigate both places and stock up on supplies. Such a large group requires more resources than we had on hand.”
“Considering the distance,” Dhaos spoke aloud.
“How will we know to regroup?”
“When you hear a loud ass explosion and smoke filling the air,” Ashley responded with a triumphant smirk.
“I see...but will we be able to navigate this city without...Bossk was it?”
“He’s not the only one who’s been out there,” Nadine spoke aloud.
“Most of us from the team can get by. Well...except for Matt.” She pointed over to Matt who seemed to be ready to defend himself.
“H-Hey! Someone needed to be here and look after the fort you know? Besides not like any of you could have managed to pull off the stuff I did here.”
“Yeah yeah, you’re a really special part of the group,” Ashley replied waving him off.
“We did spend a fair amount of time out and about before falling back here,” Moira added.
“Though not entirely explored, the city is somewhat familiar. Besides, we had to collect supplies somehow.”
“Well, I certainly trust you all to get us where we need to go,” Akande said merrily.
“And once we get to the police station, I suppose we figure out from there how to get them to the trap?”
“Indeed. In the meantime, if there are no further questions...perhaps it is time to head out.”
“Oh trust me,” Ashley assured Akande.
“Getting them to follow us is not going to be hard. But you’re right I think it’s finally time for us to do this.” Ushering everyone into the elevator the group returned back to the ground floor and lead by Bossk found an area where they could leave the tower without setting off any traps.
Once outside though they were met by a desolate wasteland. Once upon a time the city had no doubt been beautiful, but for one reason or another it now laid in ruin. Cracked pavement and ruined cars among other debris was strewn across the streets.
“Alright we got the game plan. One team heads to the mall, another to the factory and a third one will head and get the main plan into action. I want to be at ground zero when we kill those fuckers and Bossk has the detonator, everyone else is free game. So make up your mind because the longer we stand out here in the open the quicker something will kill us. Let’s go.”
