Dennison - Tags: Spray

"It's regarding this case and your friend... Mr. Crophopper I believe?" he asked, as if trying to recall the name. "You know as well as I we don't discuss case work in front of non-agents." He informed him. It wasn't really the most suspicious thing about Dennison, nor was the lack of radioing, since field agents often passed messages to each other. But there was something else that might stick out of course.

"If you would?" he asked, motioning with his tire to lead Spray down the street.

Spray - Agent Dennison

The black plane nodded and followed after, a knot forming in his stomach. His engine hummed lightly in his slim airframe as he bit his lower lip. Something was off, and he needed to be on high alert. He did a quick check of his ammo and sprayer before flicking his props a bit. Even though he was armed and ready, he still felt like he was gonna bite off a lot more than he thought.

As they made their way down the streets, Spray decided to ask about that intel.

"So, what's so important about me and Dusty?" he asked, frowning a bit. How had this guy known about him?

Shinn - Tag: Miles

Shinn gave a discreet glance back and saw the cars that had Miles freaked out. His red eyes narrowed a bit and he growled. "I see them. Don't worry. If they make any sudden moves, I will get you out. Just stay calm and don't panic." The MIG mix assured the Range Rover.

The fighter was more than ready for a fight, but fighting in close quarters in a restaurant was not ideal. He needed a plan to get the fight outside. "I have an idea. If those guys try to grab you, I will sound the fire alarm to get the people here out. That should provide for a distraction to get away unseen."

Doc - Tags: Dusty, Horah, Shadow

Doc glared at Dusty. "Are you serious?! That is the last thing we need you to do! We don't have any information that points to him being our target other than your vision and his voice match-up! We don't even know much about him! Are you really willing to risk everything on just a mere hunch?!" The Hudson Hornet snapped back. "We need to find more information first before we make any sort of such movements!"

The ex-racer then sighed. "We need to work at this from a more solid angle first. Once we have some sort of evidence, we can move in on him." Doc suddenly perked up, as if getting a bad feeling. "Shadow? Once you get me the files, can you do a scan to see where Spray is?"

Shadow: Tags - Doc, Horah, Dusty

Shadow's eyes shot side to side as conversation took over, and she quickly took it in, pausing a little before beginning to send a copy of the recording to Doc, as he requested. She hoped that by giving him the info that it would enable their search more. However, Dusty's decision and Doc's reaction made her clear her throat loudly and move forward in between them more.

"Hey HEY enough!!! There's a better way to deal with that than snapping..." Shadow said here, waving a tire to her side, looking to Doc. "I've sent the file to you... See what your colleagues can make of it" She said here, before turning to Dusty here. "Are you.... are you SURE that that's a good idea? You... dont quite know what this guy is capable of. He would seem to be a very very dangerous individual....." She said here, a warning in her voice. It wasn't everyday someone requested an audience with someone like Carew.... and when someone did it often raised eyebrows. She gave an uncomfortable sigh, glancing to her wing mirror. "Look... i t may or may not help but.... if you.... if you do want to do this then.... Make SURE to have someone with you. I dont want you being alone. Under ANY circumstance, you hear me??" She said here, searching up the number, still by Dusty's side more, rubbing him gently constantly.

She looked back to Doc, as her GPS activated, searching for the black plane, and her expression changed to confusion and concern. "He's quite far actually and... he's with someone... I dont recognize" She said carefully here, looking up and moving her gaze across the sea of cars and planes. She frowned here, backing a little into Dusty. "I dont know who's with us."

Doc - Tags: Shadow, Dusty, Horah

"Thanks for the file." Doc replied before he looked back at Shadow again. "I need to go and see what's up with the kid. He may be in danger if the signal is unknown. I want his location sent while I am en route. Spray went towards town with Oskar and a few others on the team, so it shouldn't be too hard to find him."

Doc then contacted FBI HQ once more. "Base, this is Hudson. I'm sending you the file now. Let me know what you find." He then sent the file and closed down the link before he sped off to find Spray. He didn't like the feeling he was getting. Why was Spray with someone unknown? Had someone found out what they were up to? Doc shook his front. That was impossible. No one else save for the FBI and CHROME knew of this, and they were keeping it as tightly guarded as possible.

'I don't know what's going on here, but Spray may need help if this car's signal is unrecognized.' The ex-racer thought as he began to pick up speed.

"I'm going to shadow them," the old warplane stated to Oskar and Rush quietly. "You two stick together... if anything goes wrong, I'll try to radio or send a distress signal... and go back to base, I don't want you guys getting hurt or captured. The more of us they capture, the less chance we have of succeeding this mission." He didn't give them time to answer as he started to follow Spray and the unfamiliar car silently, shadowing them from a distance. Jigsaw mentally growled... he wasn't going to let the enemy get away with it this time... not again.

Aeris McMissile | Status: depressed, disbelief | Tags: Finn McMissile

Aeris looked up at Finn in a mixture of surprise and disbelief. He seemed unsure whether he could trust another adult... but Finn was his biological father and never did any harm to him. "A-alright... I'm sorry... for bolting off like that... I don't respond well to something stressful..." Which was partially true, he often bolted off to somewhere quiet when stressed... if he could, that is. "I don't want you to quit the mission just because of me... this mission is important to me just as much as everyone else," he stated softly. Aeris wasn't sure if he should mention that he suspected the group they were after were the ones that caused the fire... because he could be wrong.

The smaller Martin suddenly started coughing and wheezing, reminding both of them that his engine had overheated when it shouldn't have... and the heat of Rio during the day only made it worse. Thankfully... and unfortunately... it was dark now... which meant it was cooler... but it also meant they could be ambushed.

Raven Hollows & Rosalie Redwood | Status: uneasy | Tags: N/A

"I... think we should go back to 'base' now... something's not right here." Rosalie stated quietly to her newfound friend Raven. The female plane nodded, agreeing with her. The two navigated through town easily enough, Rosalie was a natural when it name to remembering directions, locations, etc. Pretty soon they were back, right before the sun started setting, automatically spotting Lucas and a few others who haven't gone into the city. They were one of the lucky ones to not encounter the enemy while in the city.

[Dusty Crophopper]

Dennison - Tags: Spray, Jigsaw

Dennison was pleased that Spray began driving along with him. "Well on top of being ordered to stand down and let Carew go... I'm afraid your friend... Dusty Crophopper... will be..." Dennison paused, and faced Spray now, a dark glint coming into his eyes as a wicked grin spread across his face. "He'll become... one of us. Just as I have ascended... so too will he. You won't be able to stop it... but I just thought I'd let you know... you're fighting a losing battle..." He began backing up now, not looking like he was going to threaten Spray. "Red replaces blue..." he said with finality here as he continued to back up. "Have a pleasant evening, Agent Krane."

Miles - Tags: Shinn

"Well whatever you're going to do... do it fast!" Miles exclaimed, noting they were starting to head in his direction. "They're coming over... crap!" he hissed, reversing away from the table here. "I'm gonna make a break for it! Onto the beach! Hope my engine doesn't stall... just get ready to do whatever it is you're going to do!" Miles ordered, thinking he'd have to crash through the fence onto the beach, a four foot drop which wouldn't probably mess him up at all... but those SUVs were moving in... and moving in fast...

Dusty - Tags: Shadow

First Doc told him outright no, but then he drove off to go and find Spray, so that left Shadow alone once more with Dusty here. They began to discuss Carew once again, with Shadow saying it might not be such a good idea, given he could be very, very dangerous. Dusty could agree with that... but he still wanted to meet this guy. He had to get answers... and he had to get them now. But she suggested if he was going... to at least take someone along, and he could also agree with that. "All right... yeah... I won't go alone. You're right." He nodded here in agreement.

"But I'm still going! You wanna... look up his corporate office's number for me now?" he asked nicely, giving her a hopeful and even somewhat warm and seductive smile here. "I'll pay you back... as you well know." he winked at her here, knowing he didn't have to elaborate any on that.

Finn - Tags: Aeris

"No it's fine... I don't blame you after all... we were getting into it pretty hotly back there." Finn conceded. But then his son told him not to abandon the mission, and Finn raised a brow a this. "Really? You're OK with... with me just... continuing? I know it's important but... so are you." he informed Aeris, giving him another smile.

"Say..." he began patting him as coughs overtook his boy, and he comfortingly kept his wheel right there for support. "Right... your engine... we need to get you back to base... and off these streets. It's not safe out here... even for me." he murmured, looking behind him to the street again... and that red moon hovering overhead. "Can you move? We're going to try and get you somewhere safe... but only if you can drive." He patted his son's side again, trying to reassure him that he was right there.

Jigsaw Redtail | Status: alarmed, ticked off | Tags: Spray Kane, Dennison

Jigsaw advanced as Dennison started to back up, baring his sharp teeth ever so slightly and his expression was thunderous. He stopped next to Spray, keeping his eyes narrowed. It was just one car, but it was impossible to tell if there were more of them. He had weapons and his size alone could squash the car, but they were in public and he didn't need to be wanted for killing Dennison in a foreign country.

"Are you alright?" He asked in concern towards the younger plane.

Aeris McMissile | Status: -- | Tags: Finn McMissile

"I... don't think I... can drive," the younger car wheezed right after he stopped coughing. He waited until he regain his breath before speaking again. "I usually have to wait until my engine cools down before driving again." Aeris looked towards the street nervously. Cars were whizzing by too fast to bother noticing them.

(gaaah sorry I replied late, I got distracted by stupid crap)

Shinn - Tag: Miles

Shinn moves away and headed towards the fire alarm before he looked back. He had left the money for the meal on the table. Good. Time to move. He took a deep breath and then, all hell broke loose. As the alarms blared, Shinn could see other cars moving to flee. He could see Miles making a break for it and moved to follow. "This way!" Shinn called over the roar of the alarms. He was near a ramp that would lead them away from the three cars.

Taking a glance back, Shinn could see the three cars being forced to leave the eating establishment. He smirked before he turned and began to leave.

[Titanic X 21]

Spray - Dennison, Jigsaw

The black plane reeled back in shock at this. His eyes went wide and he tensed, gritting his teeth at Dennison's words. His mind was now reeling as he heard the seeming finality of Dusty's fate. But what did this car mean?! "Just who are you?!" he roared. "And what did you mean by that?!" His engine revved in his slim airframe as he eyed this car with a hard gaze in his brown eyes.

As he backed up though, Spray's radar tickled his conscience and he looked over at Jigsaw as the larger plane emerged from another street. The older warplane asked him if he was all right and Spray nodded, feeling his heart rate slowing. "Yeah. I'm fine," he said.

In truth he was worried now. What was happening to Dusty? Spray looked back at the direction of Dusty and his eyes were filled with concern. As he stared in that direction, something niggled at his brain and concern gave way to fierce determination. Those guys wanted Dusty, did they? Well, not in his watch! Inside his fuel tank he felt a familiar burning-like sensation, one he got whenever a case threatened someone's life. He knew what that was, having felt it many times before. His drive and determination.

Now he needed answers. He got on the radio a few moments later, using a direct link to the FBI headquarters in St. Paul. "FBI HQ, this is Special Agent Spray Krane! I need information on a car that calls himself Agent Dennison! He's a black Studebaker Avanti, an older model car! And I also need to know: Are you really pulling the plug on the Hiram Carew case?"

He hoped he'd get the answer soon.

((Hey, Dusty! You can do one of Spray's superiors, if you want. ))
