Og rolled his eyes at everything and intimated to Max (right before he and Thor left) and the rest of the group that he'd remain by the alley, intent on watching their approach in case anyone else got a bright idea.

"Try to find some binoculars," he called inside. "I forgot to borrow some from Shevon."

"Og, I have some binoculars in my pack." Red said, referring to the ones he'd taken from Bill awhile back.

"I'm not leaving my pack." The young Lycann murmured, she looked up at Dune, "I've already failed them, I'm not going to leave the-" her voice became increasingly shaky before she collapsed from blood loss.

Recon thought for a moment, before turning to Dune.

"I'll help you load her and the dogs onto the helicopter. Get them out of here."

Dune glanced at Recon, eyebrow slightly raised. "I don't know if we could fit both of those things in the helicopter, I mean..." Dune trailed off, glanced over at the helicopter and trying to work it out. "I guess... If we put her in the front seat and get them in the back side to side, then hang out the sides with the safety clasps..." he muttered, mostly to himself as he tried to picture the dimensions involved.

"Alright, well let's start with-" Dune had stepped towards Molly, about to try picking her up when Grey growled angrily again. "Frack" he said, taking a step back again.

Recon almost growled back at Gray, but decided against it. He tried to get to Molly to pick her up, but before he could make a move a ghostly pang of agony shot through his ribs.

"Aagh..." he knelt down, panting, before getting back up and trying again.

Max knelt down and continued to carefully peek around the doorway, making sure to keep Thor quiet by placing a reassuring hand on the dog's head.

"Lisa, are we good?" Red radioed after a time had passed, still in the Jeep.

Max froze for a moment as Red's voice pounded through his radio.

Shit.

Acting on instinct, he pushed Thor through the door and loudly stomped on the floor as he ran into the front.

"Oh sorry, sorry," he said, acting like he suddenly noticed her as he came in. "Dunno what got into him. Here boy, come on, we have to leave her alone, you're being very rude, let her work." He looked up at Lisa for a moment. "You uh... you didn't open a can of chili or something, did you? Usually sets him off."

Grey growled some more as Recon grabbed Molly, but then, a bit unexpectedly, Dusk stepped forward just enough to put his front half between Grey and them, and growled at her. The two of them started having some unspoken conversation of growls and whines, completely lost since Molly was unconscious.

"Well, at least one of them is still on our- ah shit, you're hurt too?" Dune asked rhetorically, turning from the wolves to Recon and seeing him kneeling in agony. "Here, let me take her before you put yourself out just like she is" he said, reaching out to take Molly.

Meanwhile, Red got a quick response over the radio from Lisa. "Yeah just-" It almost seemed like the way she said it, she intended to follow that with more words, but had either immediately stopped there for some reason or her radio stopped working.

It was in fact because of Max's sudden barge into the room, which had made her wheel around from the ritual circle she'd just finished activating to look at him in surprise. "You!- What?!- No I-" Lisa stammered, stepping backwards. Thor was actually trying to hide behind Max's legs, and growling lightly at Lisa. This seemed to contradict with Max's cover story, which Lisa was probably realizing, based on how much she was staring at the dog. Her expression was changing to one like a deer caught in headlights, and she was slowly backing away out of the front of the store back into the view of everyone else. "He didn't, you... How much did you hear?" she asked, looking back up at Max.

"Just what?" Red asked over the radio at the sudden pause.

"Is everything all right?" he asked before starting the Jeep and driving back over to the hobby shop.

Recon put out a hand to stop Dune.

"I fought with the wolves back in the bowling alley. They should recognize me, I hope. Besides, I-I'm fine. Just a bit bruised up."

That was his excuse, what he did not tell Dune was that he'd rather gouge his own eyes out than let the former bandit touch Molly.

"Hear what?" Max said. "I dunno, he just ran here and now he's all growling at you - there's no cats here, are there?"

Please don't kill me, please don't kill me, please don't kill me, please don't kill me...

Jerry went over to help Dune and Recon with molly and her pack. "Shit, she gonna bleed to death." He said pulling out his medical supplies, and pulled out some clean bandages and some gauze. He then looked at the wolves. "Back away or he will die." He said strongly.

"Somebody barbequin'?!"

It wasn't really as bad as Jerry's statement implied. Molly's previous wounds from the walmart fight had already stopped bleeding, and other than what currently equated to a knife stab wound on her back and one cracked rib, Molly was mostly fine.

Though on the outside, she certainly looked a lot worse than Recon, whose injuries were all internal or just bruising covered by his clothes.

"Just bruised... Right, whatever" Dune said, clearly not buying Recon's statement but deciding not to press the issue anyway. On the other end, Dusk's response to Jerry was to turn away from Grey and give a quick growl at Jerry. Dusk and Grey both then made a very stern point of not moving away, instead staying right where they were.

"Get her patched up enough to go in the helicopter, then put her in the front seat" Dune told Jerry and Recon, moving backwards towards the helicopter himself. "You two will have to ride in the back" the former bandit added to the two wolves, who just looked at him for a moment before turning their attention back to Recon, Jerry, and Molly.

Meanwhile, Lisa's expression calmed a little bit, going from ready to bolt in a moment panic to clear suspicion and general distrusting. After a very quick glance over at the approaching jeep, Lisa stared back at Max. "Cats? I don't think so" Lisa said, clearly analyzing Max's response. Then she grabbed her walkie talkie. "Everything's fine. The firefighter just startled me" she muttered into the radio, still staring at Max before adding to him, "come on, let's get back to the jeep." Lisa stepped back out of the doorway, then stood there, apparently waiting for Max to take the lead.

"Neat," Og caught the proffered binoculars. "But try to find another pair, just in case. And maybe some rags that match the surroundings. We can use 'em to dress up the marksmen."

And so, the big biker hunkered as best he could in the alley, watching out for any incoming unfriendlies.

"Sounds good," Recon said, helping to patch Molly up.

"Oh, don't let me interrupt your exorcism, can't disappoint Red," Max said. "I think Thor had a whiff of something interesting out there before he got distracted, I better follow up on that." He briskly walked out the back and pulled Thor along with him.

((OOC:Gonna move things forward just a little bit here, since we seem to be on a slight snag.))

Getting Molly patched up enough to go in the helicopter was simple, and when it came time to move her there, the wolves put up no resistance or complaint, but simply followed a few feet behind. Once she was safely secured in the front seat, Dune set about trying to direct the two wolves into the back, mostly by motioning his arms. It took him a couple tries, but less than a minute later they had them rather calmly in the back.

The same could not be said for Flyer, who kept looking back nervously. "I'm not really comfortable with the two giant wolves in my helicopter" Flyer muttered.

"Oh quiet, at least you have a seat between you and them" Dune said, walking around to the side and grabbing the safety clasp of that side. With Flyer and Molly in the front and the two wolves taking up the whole of the back, the only space left on the helicopter was hanging out the sides, standing on the landing struts; thankfully the two clasps could be used to do just that. "Hey, come here" the former bandit said to Recon, holding the clasp, "you want to come back to town and see Doc too, right?"

Meanwhile, Lisa watched Max leave out the back, and shook her head. "It was already done" Lisa muttered to herself, and turned to head over to the jeep that Red had so helpfully pulled up close to the store. "Alright, burn the place, sleep in it, draw dicks all over the walls, whatever you want to do" she told Red as she climbed into the back and sat down, "the spirit won't be stopping you. Got him right here." After indicating her shotgun, Lisa then pumped the lever a few times to eject the shells, and started going through the motions of using the shotgun, narrating each part quietly; apparently to instruct the spirit.

"It's alright, I got this burning stuff covered," Max called out from the side alley he walked down towards the front of the store. "Wait, actually, I think that one corner might take too long to deal with properly. Red, you wanna help me burn this place down?"

FantasyLiver Since: Oct, 2012
#3196: Nov 20th 2013 at 8:35:56 PM

"Sure. I set piles up around the store to burn. They may still be there." Red said.

"Oh you did, cool," Max said. "Feels only right to let you do the honors, then," he added, pulling out his lighter and heading into the hobby shop. Before that, though, he patted Thor on the head, "Stay here, boy, don't want you getting caught inside."

Recon hesitated, but he nodded and grabbed the clasp.

"Yeah, yeah sure."

As he got on the helicopter, he realized: this was the perfect opportunity. He'd be isolated in mid-air with the bandits. Molly was unconcious, she wouldn't see anything. He could dump the bodies somewhere, wreck the helicopter with Molly safely off, and say that they both got killed by stray fiends.

But even as he formulated the plan, he looked at the two canine companions.

"You two aren't going to let me, are you?" he thought, as if the wolves could read his mind.

"Good," Max said, crouching down over one of the piles in the corner, and uncapping his lighter. "No need to waste your match. After you," he said, holding it out for Red to do the honors.
