Chapter 39: Hospital People
"Right, let's go then."
Get in the truck, TO THE HOSPITAL!
Alex hops in the truck and the group drives to the hospital. Their ride is surprisingly uneventful, with no run-ins. Fyfe pretty easily finds a clinic and walks Alex in. There is a booth at the front, with a woman reading a magazine. Fyfe walks up to her with Alex. "Hi, my friend here fell." The receptionist casually looks up. "Well, we've got some different things up...."
Standard Treatment: $100, 4 Turns Healing
Express Treatment: $250, 1 Turn Healing
Pull out my laptop and google search for more advanced techniques. Teach them to the class!
Aaron searches for new fighting moves, only to find techniques that he doesn't know, much less teach to the class.
Oh fucking great, just my luck, fuck this economy that forced me here.
Keep calm and quiet, do what the people in the movies do and try to get my hands out, also try to chew through my gag.
Mason desperately chews at his gag. (Biting Roll: 2) No use, it's way too thick. The truck keeps rolling on, but he hears motorcycles coming near. Suddenly, the truck stops. Then Mason hears shouts and gunfire outside.
Recall whether the package needed to be delivered by a deadline. If 11AM is too late, set up a lookout and have a grunt deliver it. If not, get it mailed and set up a lookout tommorow morning.
William thinks about if there's a set date. Nope. "Can I have this package delivered to the house over there?" William motions to the house in question. The receptionist takes it. "Sure, let me just run it through security..."
Uh oh.
Let him join in and continue training after I've sent a text to remind the footsoldiers at the mattress shop to secure the subdued Corbardi so that they can't escape.
"Well, seeing as there is nothing else going on around here at the moment..."
Join in the training/sparring, feeling I have a point to prove.
Dave sends a text for the soldiers at the mattress to tie up the Cobardi. They comply.
Dave then turns to Ryan, handing him a wooden knife. "Show me what you can do." (4) The two of them spar, with Ryan putting up a fairly decent fight. He gains some experience and know-how in knife-fighting.
"We can't let the Cordabi know that they are not dead. We'll hold them for 'storage'. Remove their vests, then have them bound and gagged. Once the van finally gets here, throw them in the back." Then, to himself, "We don't have much time until the Cordabi get reinforcements. We'll have to move fast."
"Where the hell is that van?"
Send out texts saying that we still need that van to pick up the prisoners. Make sure that the Cobardi are kept restrained and have a foot soldier stand out front to act as a lookout.
2nd action-When Fyfe gets back, have her look at my wrist.
Jason bounds and ties up the Cobardi and throws them in the back. Now they are awake and actively struggling.
Trent sends a text out for the van. It should be here by now. Maybe they ran into traffic. Hopefully.
The mattress shop owner meekly hands over another 125$.
