    [OOC: Happy Thanks Giving all who celebrate it. Or if you're a Native American, My Condolences.]

    The kid gasps in air then replys, I have no idea. One minute I'm hanging out with my girlfriend in Blackroot, and then these guys come outa nowhere! They're all wearin this crazy lookin' black armor and they have these weird lookin' guns. I thought they were like government agents or somethin, then one of em walks up and he goin on about blood traitors, and me not being pure, and I have no idea what he was talkin about! Then he touches me, and it hurt worse than anything else I've ever felt. I wake up, and I'm sittin in this chair. I keep seein those weird guys in their armor, but no one'll talk to me. I'm freakin out man.

    He talks rather fast, but that seems mainly to be the anxiety.

    Max is standing quietly outside the door monitoring the staircase and the entry door. After overhearing the kid's statements, he keys the mike. "Kurt, apparently there are hostiles in this area. Keep an eye out for any movement. We'll let you know when we've secured the area."

    As Max mills around, he wonders what is taking the others so long. He strides into the room and pulls out his K-Bar and starts cutting the ropes that bind the kid. "Heh, this beats fiddling with rope any day."

    Err... I dunno how long I've been here, I think it was the 24th when I was taken.This was about a week ago. My girlfriend and I drove out to black wood at about I dunno... six. All of the sudden, there are like four or five guys wearin this crazy looking black armor. It was all glossy, and it looked kinda mettalic, but odd sorta. They were carrying something like guns that were made outta the same stuff, but the guns didn't look like normal guns, I dont really know how to describe em. So one of them walks over, and he was talkin about me being "unpure" and how we were "traitors to our kind." So then he touches me, and the hand just feels weird, then alluva sudden, my entire body freezes up, and I cant move, and it hurts like hell, suddenly it all goes black, then I'm sittin here. They've come in every once and a while to give me some food, but other than that, I haven't seen anyone. On top of that, they'll never say anything when they come in. Thanks for taking the ropes off.

    Outside the rain continues to fall, but all of the sudden, in the second house (the one they didn't go in) a light comes on. The light seems to be a light red, and it seems to be really bright. It lasts for about half a second, then goes out. A second later, it flashes again, then goes out once again. It doesn't flash again.

    Kain

    Looking at Alex with some surprise, Kain tells him:

    "We'll have to wash your mouth with soap when we get home kid. That's just no language for someone of your age."

    He then asks Max:

    "Could that be Morse code? I'll admit I never learned it, didn't need to. Perhaps you were in different position than me. Be that as it may, I propose we check it out. After getting Nick to safety of course."

    Max listens over the radio to Kurt's report on the flashes in the other building. "Okay, we'll secure this building before we investigate. Report if you see anyone leaving or heading up the hill. You're our eyes, so we'll be counting on you. Max out."

    Turning to the others, he says, "I don't know Morse off the top of my head, but only two flashes mean their can't be too much info. Maybe a warning beacon of some sort?"

    Max then enters the main room and beckons the others to follow. Talking quietly to avoid Nick from overhearing, he lays out his plan. "Okay, we need to secure this building posthaste. Kain and Matt, you check out that staircase. If it leads to the other building we need to recce it. Alex, you stay here with Nick until we know it's safe to leave. I'll be guarding this room and the door to the outside. Also, in case Nick might not be telling us the whole truth, I'll be here to lend Alex any assistance if he needs it. Once we know what we're dealing with, we can check out that other building. Sound good?"

    I'm assuming since we're inside a building, that we only heard about the flashes because Kurt told us over the radio.

    The corridor ahead of you is made of dirt with wooden support beams about every ten feet, and the ground steadily slopes downwards. The only light comes from your flashlight, and the rest is inky black. The closeness of the corridor makes you feel claustrophobic. Your breathing begins to sound loud, as there is no noise, even the rain outside has been cut off now. There is a sound ahead of you, as you move forwards to investigate, the ground gives out and you realize that the sound was that of cracking wood. Kain, you fall as the ground in front of you gives out. Luckily it's only about a twenty foot drop, you land on the bottom barely hurt [OOC: You take four damage from the fall], Matt, you see Kain fall, and can see him land, his flashlight goes out, but yo can both see that he is now on solid stone ground, you cannot see any walls from where the flashlight can reach, but you can tell that his is busted. Kain, your glock landed about five feet away, and is within reach. Your leg hurts badly, but you can still walk. Matt, across the hole in the corridor (which is about fifteen feet) you can see a wooden door. If you've calculated correctly, you are somewhere near the other house now.

    Everyone upstairs hears a thunderous crash, followed by a dull thump. Kurt, sorry to say that you hear nothing.

    Kain

    Picking himself up after falling, Kain leans himself with back towards wall to steady himself and get rid of the vertigo he got after the fall. After a few seconds, after he feels somewhat better, he looks around and after spoting his gun, he limps towards it, picking it up. He then radios to his friends:

    "Guys, I'm in a heap of trouble over here. If you got any rope to get me out of the in which I find myself presently I would be grateful. My leg hurts as hell, and there is no way I'm getting out of it myself."
