Comms pops and a new voice crackles, “Hmmm.” You recognize it as a low-range Leeson. The icon pulsing at the lower left display kinda’ gives it away, too. “That’s rather interesting...”
You all basically follow W 76th Street from 338 Columbus Avenue southeast down to Central Park West, where part of the group (Ace and Block) pauses on top of a tower at 160 Central Park West (Fourth Universalist Society) to look on from above. X undulates further, crossing the street and slowly approaching the Central Park wall, immediately to the left of the M10 bus stop (Central Park w/w 75 st). For some reason, the street lights that normally provide almost-daylight-level lighting here seem to all be out: the T intersection there is uncommonly dark: the stop light is still functional, but it doesn’t shed enough light to read by, much less to see anything other than the silhouettes of those few walking nearby. Anybody can see that the lack of additional lighting is the “interesting” that Leeson just commented on.
Trolling slowly, quietly, even menacingly, is a Phaeton Limo. You can bet it’s not lost, but it *is* looking for something, somebody as it creeps up the street, passing the W 76th Street corner slithering further northeast towards W 77th Street, the black-mirrored windows betraying nothing of what lies inside. Sinister.
As you guys approach your positions you note that beyond the wall the park is engulfed in darkness - yet off in the distance you see what looks like might be a barrel fire - something along those lines, anyway. The merry distant flicker of the yellow-orange-red flames provides a guidepoint from deep within the gloom. Naturally, Reggie (and his goons) are out there in the oppressively dark park, somewhere.
“Team,” you hear Tiny’s voice crackle, a light whisper rising from the light static floor of the frequency. “Reggie has not officially entered the zone yet,” he patiently explains, “so this sojourn could be just him picking up local information - from a local informant - or some ammo, or just taking a constitutional walk - it’s anybody’s guess. But he’s still legally running, just running out of time. His mob bosses are spazzing out uncontrollably out there, so I don’t think this was part of their plan.” Tiny coughs, takes a quick, raspy breath. “I’ll relay more as I hear it. Also,” he adds at the last second. “it would seem that someone hit the comms van with a rocket launcher, so whatever you do you DON’T want to go back that way,” he chuckles, “At least not for a few hours. NYPD’s best are still picking up the pieces, and it don’t look like there were any survivors. Film at eleven.” The channel drops back into blessed silence.
And over the wall, in the inky blackness of Central Park where only the playful flickers of a distant fire can be seen, not even the crickets dare make a peep to disturb the silent darkness ahead of you. |
