Adventure #2

The Rescue Of Steve Carson And Dot Larry

Needless to say, this did not go as planned for F.B.I. Agent Steve Carson.

The plan was to find and rescue a young lady named Dot Larry, along with apprehending the one responsible.  Instead, there he was, gagged and tied up to a chair next to Dot who was in the midst of the same fate.  And there she was, this woman holding a gun to his head while one of her hired muscle stood guard at the door.

Her name is Kate Lane and she looks out the nearby window, enjoying the view of the Gotham City skyline.

Kate “People say it’s dangerous to do anything in this neighborhood.  I guess we can add ‘trying to be a hero’ to the list.  It’s been open season on everyone since the Grayson accident.  People are in such a frenzy that it makes our work so much easier now.  The boss is very pleased.”

Kate walks up to Dot, who is nervous with her eyes wide open in fear.  She is breathing heavy through the gag.

Kate “Agent Carson over there thought he could waltz in and mess up the operation.  The transaction’s complete though.  You’ll soon be carried off to your new owners.  And you, Agent Carson…”

Kate turns the gun toward Steve.

Kate “…You’ll be dead by the time any of it happens.  You’re gonna expose this poor girl a federal agent getting shot.”

Kate walks over to Carson, who is struggling to get free.  A click of the hammer stops him.

Kate “You’re about to stop moving for g-”

Shots are heard outside the door, along with a commotion.  Kate motions for the man at the door to deal with whatever the problem is.  She then turns her attention back to Steve.

Kate “My boss is not gonna be happy with all this bloodshed.  But I guess a girl’s gotta do what a-”

Kate is interrupted by another gunshot, then momentary silence as Kate looks back to the door, then back to Steve.  She about to continue when she is interrupted again, this time by a voice.

“Drop the weapon!”

The voice is female.  Kate turns around, weapon still in hand only to see one now aimed at her.
