There are tables and booths on the east side, mostly unused. * <SuperGM> * Sam is a bald man, about 5'8 wearing a dark green O'Brien's vest.

As busy as it gets on Christmas Eve." * <Joe_Super> "I appreciate this, Sam." <SuperGM> * He takes off his apron and says something to a co-worker. Then he leads you outside to the rear parking lot. * <SuperGM> * "Yeah, she's had some rough times. About 85,000 miles on her so far. Everything is ok, except there's this squealing sound when you get above 80. It only last for a second, but if you shift to..." <SuperGM> * As he's speaking, your pocket sec rings. * <SuperGM> or phone, or whatever you have <Joe_Super> "Hello?" <Joe_Super> If there's no response within 3 seconds I disconnect. <SuperGM> * "Meet us at 157 N 43rd St at midnight, or the girl will be dead before Christmas." * <SuperGM> * disconnect * <Joe_Super> "She's perfect." <SuperGM> * "...and there are some stains in the backseat. I did my best to remove them. I'm sure it shouldn't be such a big deal." * <SuperGM> * "Hey Super...who's kid is that?" * <Joe_Super> "He's mine, we were never here." <SuperGM> * "Uhh..." * <SuperGM> * "That's cool, man." * <SuperGM> * "You get into some shit, you know that?" * <Joe_Super> "Tell me about it." <Joe_Super> "Thanks, Sam." <SuperGM> * "The bar still needs bouncers." * <SuperGM> * He takes your cred. * <SuperGM> * "Thank you." * <SuperGM> * He gives you the keys. * <SuperGM> * "Good luck, Joe. Merry Christmas." * <Joe_Super> "Merry Christmas, Sam." <Joe_Super> ((dammit...)) <SuperGM> * He's fast asleep. * <SuperGM> * You pull onto Wall St. * <SuperGM> where to? <Joe_Super> ?time? <SuperGM> 11:15 <SuperGM> well? <Joe_Super> ((give me 2 minutes...)) <SuperGM> bah, hurry on <Joe_Super> ((Joe's taken them on and won once....it's not somehting he wants to do again, and even then he did it by the seat of his pants and lost Charlie.)) <Joe_Super> ((He knows it's either the girl or the kid.)) <Joe_Super> ((He made a promise to the kid's dead mother, but he's also the one who brought eve into all this.)) <Joe_Super> ((grrr)) <SuperGM> ((take your time, I just got a Harvey Birdman I've never seen)) <Joe_Super> ((ok)) <SuperGM> ((Malone dick)) <SuperGM> * "'ello!" * <SuperGM> * "Merry Christmas to ya!" * <Joe_Super> "Malone, you're off duty?" <Joe_Super> "I thought they'd have your ass working tonight." <SuperGM> * "For once." * <SuperGM> * "I traded with Herbshaw.' * <Joe_Super> ?where's this street area? what kind of neighborhood? <SuperGM> * Business district. * <Joe_Super> "I've got a situation." <SuperGM> * "What's the deal, Supa?" * <SuperGM> * "Let's go, I gotta eat these damn cookies so my daughter thinks a fat elf was here. I told Becca we coulda just got Morlow from da precint! haw haw haw!" <Joe_Super> "There's a hostage situation at 157 and N. 43rd. Kidnap victim being held against her will. Unknown number of subjects who are heavily armed and quite dangerous." <SuperGM> * "Yeah, so like I was saying I'm OFF duty tonight. Why you callin my cell with this anyway?" * <Joe_Super> "Because nobody at the station takes orders from me anymore." <Joe_Super> "They'll kill her at midnight." <Joe_Super> "I need SWAT." <SuperGM> * "Sonofabitch. It's 11:18. They'll never get down there by midnight." * <Joe_Super> "Then why do they keep us around, Malone?" <SuperGM> * "I can put the call in. I can tell them. That's all I can do." * <SuperGM> * It's like a 20 minute drive. * <Joe_Super> ((forget it)) <Joe_Super> "She'll die, Mike." <Joe_Super> "They need to be smashed." <SuperGM> * "I can't do a damn thing. Even if I wanted to." * <SuperGM> * "I can call the station, talk to the captain. Pull some strings." * <SuperGM> * "That's it though." * <Joe_Super> "Alright, Mike." <Joe_Super> ?this got an onboard comp? <SuperGM> * It doesn't have that kind of info. * <SuperGM> you'd have to roll computer <Joe_Super> ((i'll default to intell)) <Joe_Super> !dice 6 <SR-Dice> Joe_Super rolled -+ 4 2 5 2 5 2 +- Succes -> 0 <Joe_Super> ((damn)) <Joe_Super> "Malone...Do what you can." <SuperGM> * "You got it, Joe.
