During the call to 911 dispatch an alert would have appeared within The Toolbox office. Addressing senior officers and staff of the possible agent is trouble situation. For anyone that might be in the The Toolbox at that time, would have seen the alert pop-up on the screens within the conference room.

Police are being dispatched to the small dive bar located just outside of Brooklyn. Chatter on the police band is that the suspect is a petite, asian woman. Approximately nine months pregnant and considered very dangerous.

 

[Jericho Blake]

Blake shows up to the scene of the crime as soon as he can. He means to enter through the back and take a look before the cops complete their cordon.

 

[Zoe Yamada]

The back of the bar is as one would imagine it. Trash cans filled with stinking empty beer bottles. One of the cans is full of assorted trash and hundreds of cigarette butts from emptied out ash trays. The rear door is unlocked providing easy access into the bar.

Inside would be a scene right of a horror movie. A rather large man is face down. Seeming to have been attempting to run out. Now the floor around him is a pool of his own blood. His face locked in absolute terror, blood covering most of his lower face. Further in the bar you can see the long wooden bar. Broken glass everywhere along with three more bodies nearby the two pool tables on the far side of the room. There appearance is the same as the first body seen. The entire bar is trashed. Chairs knocked over and bottles and even what was once a grilled cheese sandwich lay on the ground. One of the bodies appears to have suffered more trauma than the others. There are many lacerations spread out randomly through his skin. Blood splatter is spread throughout the area and in the corner clutching a broken pool cue is a woman. Visibly shaken and covered in blood as well, most of it seems to not be hers.

 

[Jericho Blake]

Blake squats down about 10 feet from the woman. "Hey. You hurt?" As usual for urban ops, he's wearing a black shirt, dress pants, ankle boots, and trench coat.

 

[Zoe Yamada]

"She killed them...how....how?" The woman is in complete shock. Staring only off into the distance and clutching the broken pool cue. Suddenly there is a sound of a heavy door opening behind the bar. "Fuck man, she's fast for a pregger or just a fucking ghost."

A young girl raises up from the basement door as she speaks, unaware of anyone else in the bar until she spots Jericho "Hey, hey hey get the fuck back man."

 

[Jericho Blake]

"Easy there. Just trying to help." He speaks calmly in his deep baritone. "What happened here?"

 

[Allison Carpenter]

"Some fucking crazy pregnant bitch showed up. Telling people that if they didn't do something she would kill them." the girl keeps her eyes square on Jericho "She just lifted her hand at Charlie." she points to the body with all of the cuts on it "It's like she controlled him. Made him start cutting himself and then he started bleeding from his eyes."

She moved closer to the traumatized woman "She started killing everyone.." Outside the police sirens are loud as they have arrived and are beginning to surround the area "Fuck-alright, I was never here right!." She begins to walk back over to the bar "Cops are going to be crawling up in here in like seconds dude."

 

[Jericho Blake]

"Come on, then. I need to be getting out of here too." He leads her to the back door. "What did she want? And did you see where she went?"

 

[Allison Carpenter]

"yeah, she left out back." quickly leading him out towards the back of the bar. Sidestepping around the body near the door. "You think that she's an alien or something. You know, like in the movies?"

Cautiously peers out of into the back alley. Down at the far end a single police cruiser sits, blocking the way. To the left the alley stretches off for another 50 feet before branching off to the right.

 

[Jericho Blake]

Blake takes her elbow and signals for the redhead to be quiet. He leads her down the alley to the left, and pauses at the corner to study the way ahead.

 

[Allison Carpenter]

The alley is relatively clear, it's wider to allow a vehicle to drive down if need be. At the far end people could be seen walking by on as they cross at the sidewalk.

"Hands in the air!" the cop shouts to the two. His gun drawn and aiming it at Jericho. In the cops mind he only see's a large man holding onto the elbow of a young girl covered in blood "I want you on your knees, NOW!"

 

[Jericho Blake]

Blake moves like only a chosen if Gaia can, scooping Allison up in his left arm, shielding her with his body as he moves around the corner and down the alley. He produces a smoke grenade from his coat pocket ad deploys it at the intersection. He then moves for the nearest sewer entrance which connects to the Labyrinth as fast as he can, the slim red head's weight negligible.

 

[Allison Carpenter]

Allison screams at the sheer fact of someone scooping her up even more so in that the person is moving faster than any human alive. Her eyes are wide in fear and excitement.

The closest man hole cover is just out of sight of any onlookers near the end of the alley. Jericho would have reached it in no time at all. From the distance they could hear the cop yelling and knowing that he would soon round the corner looking for them.

 

[Jericho Blake]

Jericho moves the cover one-handed with a grunt, climbs down into the tunnel, and braces himself with his legs as he moves it back into position over him. "Quiet!" He growls to her.

 

[Allison Carpenter]

She is quiet only her rapid breathing breaks the silence as she stares wided eye up to the cover then to Jericho.

Above them you can hear the cops panting and heavy footfalls as he stops just at the entrance of the alley "dispatch, I lost them. They must have gone into the crowd." The static of the radio could be heard "copy, we'll get cameras looking at all possible avenues in the block." The cop could be heard shuffling his feet for a few moments before he walks back towards the rear door of the bar.

 

[Jericho Blake]

Blake climbs down the ladder, sets Allison down, and produces a small flashlight. He activates it and looks around to get his bearings. He then pulls out his phone and calls Eye surveillance. "We need all footage from cams 1 mile around the bar erased immediately."

He then turns to the woman. "My name's Blake. What's yours?"

 

[Allison Carpenter]

She backs away from him "What the fuck is going on?" her voice is a bit higher from the adrenaline running through her system "how'd you run so damn fast?"

The confirmation Blake received from Eye surveillance was short and to the point. The camera's would have their footage replaced with normal daily activity.

Allison starts pacing in a tight circle "alright, either someone laced my weed this morning or there is some weird freaky shit going on here.You're going to tell me what is the deal man. Are you like some super soldier. ohhh maann. This is some military experiment gone wrong and that pregnant chick is all part of this, isn't' it?"

 

[Jericho Blake]

Blake sighs. "If I tell you, will you tell me everything you saw up there?" Once he gets his bearings, he begins walking slowly towards the Labyrinth.

 

[Allison Carpenter]

Following behind him by a few steps, Allison watches him "Oh yeah man. So, this is some big government mess up. She's like some secret weapon and the baby is like a cure for basically everything. And you are the cleaner. The big mysterious man that has to take care of the scientists fuck up." Her wild theories continue for a few more minutes. "The name's Allison by the way." she injects just after talking about alien babies and the hive mind.
