Day 1, Evening

Reptilius
The door doesn't open, but you manage to attract the cop's attention.
"Stop that!"

Jett
((Yeah, you heard him swear, but you couldn't quite make out the words))
The cop looks over to Alan as he starts making a ruckus.

LostOne, boomwolf, mf11 and Nyc
Justin and Nicholas enter the impound, accompanied by the clerk. The clerk returns to his desk and elaves them with the cop. You all have your bags back now.

El_Frenchie, Little Toe and Nibleswick
A local gives you directions to the police impound. He does mention that you probably won't be able to get in without the proper papers though.

[JettWilderbeast]

Trent
Trent looks at the cop.a
I think he wants to get out, you should probably let him out. Also, I missed what you said.
Trent manages to sound slightly smug depite his situation

[deepsear]

Reldez goes to the impound to claim his luggage, then heads outside to call a cab. He directs it to the police station, and asks it to head to the Saint Joseph Bank. Before the cab arrives, he flips through his wallet to see if he has enough money for the trip.

[Little Toe]

Lundi looks at the others,

"I think zat person iz right, without ze paperwork we will not be able to get in! Zis iz a lovely town but I don't think zat we should linger here too long guyz!"

[Nibleswick]

Is the luggage that important? I still think that we should find an ATM, get some cash, buy an old junker from someone, *brandishes newspaper*, and get the heck outa Dodge as they say.

[El_Frenchie]

Michaël

Well, if anyone has a card with them, I don't have my french one. I doubt I could take any money out here in the states. And probably Lundi can't either, nodding to the woman.

[Eldan]

Andrew nods.
"I think I'll actually try the bus. It's still one of the fastest, cheapest and safest methods."
He leaves, gets his luggage and then takes the bus back to Saint Josephs.

[MrEdwardNigma]

The sun begins to set.

Jett
"Just shoot him already!" the store owner yells, and then the cop cars arrive.
"Step back from my colleague!" the cop yells, "This is your last warning!"

deepsear
You have just about enough money to pay for this long ride, but then you'll only have very little money left afterwards. Will you take the cabride anyways?

You now have your luggage back, by the way, and you met Justin, Nicholas, Bakios and Michael inside the impound.

El_Frenchie, Little Toe & Nibleswick
There's three cars for sale in The Stone Pointer. There's a classic white Dodge muscle car, an old pick up truck and some car a frat guy made out of pieces of other cars.

Eldan
A bus ticket is reasonably priced, but since you don't have any money on you, even that will be a problem. The next bus only leaves at about noon tomorrow though, so you have time to come up with the money. You now have your luggage back, by the way, and you met Justin, Nicholas, Bakios and Michael inside the impound.

[ForzaFiori]

Michael leaves the impound lot, and starts walking through the town looking for anywhere that has a car he might be able to get.

[Nycthemeron]

Nicholas takes his bags and rootles through pulling out a satellite phone. Heading outside the police station he slumps against the wall, lights up and hangs his head in his hands counting slowly under his breath, " . . . eight, nine, ten." He throws his head up, wipes his eyes, flicks his hair out of his face and dials directory enquiries. "Operator, thank you, could you put me through to a private helicopter hire company?"

[LostOne27]

Justin nods to everyone else. "Anyone want to split a fare back to Saint Joseph? Or got a line on something faster?"

[Nycthemeron]

Nicholas puts his hand over the mouthpiece briefly as he looks over to Justin. "I'm working on a chopper."

[Eldan]

"I would share a ride, if I had any money. I don't suppose you could invite me? However, I don't. Also, there's a bus line, leaving tomorrow."

[Nycthemeron]

Holding the phone between his ear and shoulder Nicholas rummages through the bag, pulling out a pen and pad he scrawls, If I can get one, I'll take as many as can fit in.

[MrEdwardNigma]

mf11
You find a carsalesman. There's also plenty of parking lots, off course, but those cars belong to people and are more than likely locked.

Nyc
"We could send a chopper over, but it'd have to come over from Saint Joseph town. And it's gonna cost you a pretty penny too"
A helicopter would fit four or five people at most by the way (excluding the pilot).

[JettWilderbeast]

Trent
Trent, in the face of the clearly high danger, stands down;
Fine. I'm not dying today. Trent's ego crushed he steps back from the cop on the floor, not before a slight kick to his midriff.

[ForzaFiori]

((is said carsalesman outside with his cars?))

[boomwolf]

((no internet on my comp, using public now, so I might be a bit slow for a few days.))

Bakios asks the clerk "Say, how to I get to Saint Joseph town bank ASAP?"

[LostOne27]

Justin nods towards Nic, then plops down beside him. He starts rummaging through his bag, checking to make sure everything's there.

[MrEdwardNigma]

Day 1, Night

Jett & Reptilius
Trent is kicked in the ribs a bit and then tossed into the cop car. In the policestation in Stone Point they search both of you, revealing drugs on Trent. Before he is taken to a cell though both he and Alan are separately questioned. These are the questions asked:
"What happened to make the bus crash?
Who fired the gun?
How many of you were there on the bus, including the driver?
Did everyone have luggage, and did you?"

mf11
They are closed right now. It's night.

boomwolf
"You could take a bus, I suppose. Or perhaps a cab"

LostOne
Yep, none of your stuff is missing.

[Nycthemeron]

Nicholas pulls out his wallet and stubbing his cigarettes out on the groudn beside him replys to the man on his phone. "That will be fine, please send it as soon as possible." He reads out the credit card and location details before hanging up. He looks at the others, "Its an emergency account. Father pays it. Anyway it should be here as soon as possible."

[Eldan]

Andrew smiles.
"Rich parents. Nice."
He then checks his luggage, finding that all is where he left it.

((Yes, this post is mostly to fulfill the 2 day rule. I don't have much to say atm))

[MrEdwardNigma]

Good, Eldan. Some people are neglecting it. Warnings will follow.

Day 2, Morning

Nyc
The helicopter lands in front of the impound. You and anyone you want to take (up to four other people) can enter it and fly to Saint Joseph.

[JettWilderbeast]

Trent
The bus crashed because I hit the driver, I hit the driver because he pulled a gun, he shot it! Well it all happened because supposedly we, thats the people on the bus, have been infected with a toxin which will kill us in 20 days and the toxin is in St. Joseph bank! It's for a new game show by umm that millionare, I forget his name. Burns is it? Well everyone panicked and the glass to the driver was smashed and thats when he pulled a gun.
Trent hates the police but he cooperates fully.

[El_Frenchie]

Michaël

Michaël asks for direction to St Joseph and will start walking. He will attempt to try and hitch a ride from someone if he encounters anyone on the side of the road, in a petrol station, claiming he was in an accident and got himself lost off the road. If he finds anyone, he tells them he needs to go to St Joseph.

[Nibleswick]

Henry wakes up and looks around ,seeing wherever it happens to be that he, and presumably the others in his group, slept. All right, wake up folks, time to find a way out of this place. His stomach gurgles. On second thought, it's time to find something to eat, then a way out of here. Hmm, I suppose it'll have to be my credit card for all of this, won't it? Ugh.

[deepsear]

Ian listens to the other people with him, and says:

"Um, hi. I hear you guys are kinda in the same boat and need a lift. I have just enough money for a ride to the bank, and the cab can take two more if you want to pitch in. Maybe three, if we squeeze someone in the middle. Or we could even get, like, another cab or something. Just throwin' that out there.

[LostOne27]

Justin stands up and picks up his bag, then waits for Nyc and the rest. Soon as they're headed aboard, he'll hop on unless someone stops him.

[Nycthemeron]

Nicholas looks at Andrew with a perfectly level face, "They have their drawbacks." After that he lights up again.

When the chopper arrives Nicholas throws his things into the chopper and grabs the first seat, waving to the others he shouts over the noise of the blades, "Jump in, first come first served!

Saint Joseph Town please pilot, as close to the bank as you can."

[deepsear]

Reldez raises an eyebrow, looks at Andrew, and gives a lopsided grin.

"That, my friend, is awesome. If no-one else objects, I'll hop on board. If you miss this, feel free to take the cab I called."

With these words, he jumps into the chopper, smiles again at andrew, and takes a window seat.

"So, what does your dad do? I didn't quite catch that."
