Scene 30

Secret Headquarters of the KLF

“What do you mean?” David asked me.

“We have a device,” I answered, “That will lead us right to him. On our world, each member of the League has a small transmitter on his person that sends out a continual, unique signal. This signal can be tracked anywhere on Earth through the satellite system.”

“Only one problem,” Grant said. “We don’t have access to the satellite system.”

“We’re not going to use it,” I told him. “The device we have will track his signal. It only works over a few miles, so we will need to get nearby to get a clear signal. But I figure we can get a decent signal if we position a team near the main gate at Broad River. This team can scan all the busses and pinpoint which one David is on.”

“Excellent,” said David. “That team can pinpoint the bus and then relay the information to everyone else who can then converge on that bus’s route. We hit the bus and disable their escort.”

“Right,” I told them. “I recommend that Ms. Raven, since she is familiar with the instrument, be placed in the team that scans the busses, along with two or three others for support. Ms. Hawk and I will be on the main team that will get our David out of the bus. We’ll also need other teams to disable the escorts and serve to block the bus. I leave that to you, since they will be your people.”


“Okay, we’ll have Mike and Diane go with you. They’re used to working together. And I think one more.” He looked around the room and nodded to a longhaired man. His arms were bare and covered with tattoos. “Michael, you go with them as well.”

He turned to Julie and Greg. “You two will be in the support vehicle. You job is to stop the bus and provide cover fire to the extraction team.”

He continued by assigning two people to work with Ms. Raven and formed two other teams of four people. The job of each of the other two teams was to neutralize the police escorts.

“Okay, you’ve all got your assignments,” he said. “Get your teams geared up and ready to go. We leave as soon as it gets dark. We want to be there and in position before dawn. The busses are due to pull out at eight, tomorrow morning. Since we don’t know which route will be taken, familiarize yourselves with each route and develop a plan for each. And get what rest you can; it will probably be a long night.”
