Karm Deren tossed two bags into the back of the jeep he'd gotten from the little Youswell garrison. He'd packed as much food, water, fuel and ammunition as he could fit in the jeep and hoped it would be enough.

As he waited for Clovis to arrive Karm took a seat behind the wheel and wondered if he was doing the right thing. Going after the bandits and finding their base was necessary to secure this area. If the trains were at risk Central wasn't going to be sending anymore supplies and Youswell would become a ghost town. So a case could be made for it being the right thing to do but maybe not the smartest. The bandits had taken heavy losses on the train but who knew how many more were left. Would Clovis and he be able to handle it alone? A full out attack? Maybe not but a recon mission wasn't out of their league. Deren could always come back with a full military force but only if they found the hideout before the trail went cold.

"Hope I didn't keep you waiting for too long." Clovis still sported her bandanna and sabre but her previous jacket diappeared and was replaced by a military jacket.

"Some guy at the train station let me borrow his jacket, it brings back memories." She looked down at herself fondly and rolled up the sleeves which were a little to long then hopped into the jeep and buckled herself in.

"No I just got all squared away myself." Deren said with a light tone that hardened as he add. "It's my duty to find the bastards that attacked us and nearly killed Yoko but you're retired and I only hired you for the train ride so it's up to you." He gave her a look of respect he only offered to fellow soldiers. "But I could really use the help and you've got amazing talent."

She chuckled nervously at the 'amazing talent' part.
"I'm in the car aren't I? Lets go, I won't be able to sleep at night knowing that there are people attacking cargo trains." Clovis looked out into the distance trying to see if there were any signs of the bandits but failed to spot anything.

"Thanks." Deren said gratefully as he turned the key and put the jeep into gear. Moments later the jeep was racing along next to the train track heading for the ambush point.

After a few minutes of silence he asked. "How are you at tracking?"

Clovis paused before answering, she was evaluating her skills. It wasn't everyday she used them to this extent.
"Pretty good. I might be able to sniff them out." Literally, she pulled down the bandanna from her nose so that it hung loosely around her neck. She raised herself so that she peered over the top of the car pretending to look for a trail, instead she was looking for the smell of petrol or more importantly, blood.

The jeep bounced on the rough terrain as it sped along next to the train tracks. As he drove Deren was quite. His mind kept drifting back to Yoko on the train. Her screams still echoed in his ears and his hands were still lightly stained red from her and Rosenberg's blood. He was determined to see that the bandits thought twice before attacking another train. Those that survived at least. And he wasn't sure if there were going to be a lot of those. In the end it was going to depend on how much resistance they encountered. Deren wasn't a cold blooded killer but the act of taking lives came easy to him in the heat of battle and he tended to be good at it. More than once Deren wished he'd been blessed with other talents but he was a fighter and today he was grateful for that.

Finally the jeep reached the site of the attack. Deren stopped near the rubble of the wall Rosenberg had created. Standing up and looking around he spotted tracks from the bandit's trucks. The Captain dropped back into his seat and drove along the same route.

"Think they were dumb enough not to cover their tracks?" Deren called out over the roar of the wind in a tone that said he didn't think they would be so lucky.

"I don't think they were expecting us to follow them so soon." Clovis once again covered her nose with the bandanna, the smell of blood made the back of her neck prickle. Clovis was silent for the remainder of the journey but as they came closer to the camp the smell of humans and smoke were becoming clear to her.

"I think we're getting close." She said after a few moments, by this time the smoke had faded but shouts and cluttering could be heard from in front of them.

Deren pulled the jeep to a stop as they neared a massive quarry. A path was cut leading down which still had fresh tracks going down. Stepping out Deren scanned the surrounding area but didn't see any sentries. From a tactical standpoint being at the bottom of the quarry wasn't the best position since it gave up the high ground and could be sealed off easily. On the other hand unless they were facing a full scale attack it wasn't a bad spot. There were only a few paths going down into the quarry and those were exposed enough to make sneaking in near impossible.

Karm Deren walked to the back of the jeep and grabbed his sniper rifle. A minute later he was on prone on the ground at the lip of the quarry looking down through his scope. Below a mass of tents rested with men and women running around. Deren spotted three tents that had already been taken down and saw another in the process.

"Damn. They're already pulling out. So much for coming back with a larger force." Deren muttered as he crawled away from the edge. When he was out of sight he stood and looked at Clovis. "Looks like coming back with the Calvary is out. If we don't hit them now we don't get a chance to hit them at all."

Clovis was crouched low to the ground, she had no trouble seeing them pull down the tents.

"Let go get them then. I think we'll be able to get a good hit." She looked up at Deren and her brown eyes showed the smirk behind the bandanna. She was waiting for him to take the lead.

Deren grinned. "I'm starting to really like you Ford. Sure I can't talk you into coming back to the service?" He joked before taking a sniping position on the lip of the quarry again. "Sneak down into the camp and start setting fire to the tents and disabling the trucks. Do your best to go undetected. There are too many to fight but if trouble starts I'll cover you from here."

"I can never go back." With that she race down the path trying while trying to blend into her surroundings. She was half way down and there was a straight path to the camp site with little shrubbery or trees to give her cover. However there was a dusty old truck that was already fully loaded which Clovis sprinted to. She crept to the open window and peered inside, to her relief it was empty and to her luck she found a lighter which she took without hesitation.

Clovis drew her sword and slashed the wheels of the truck then sheathed it. Before she left the safety of the truck she stripped herself of her military jacket, she would had more chance getting to the camp safely without it. She tested the lighter then sprinted again to one of the tents.

Clovis blended in well with the bandits, she ran around like them and pretended to be moving things out of the tent and loading the trucks while setting small fires inside the tents with the lighter and ripping wheels to shreds. Clovis managed to set three tents alight and disable four trucks before getting pulled aside by a burly man.
"You're not.." His voice was gruff and low and turned into a bloody cough as her sword sprouted out of his back. Clovis swore then ran.

Karm Deren watched Clovis through his scope as she made her way down into the camp and began following his orders. Her movements were graceful and quick and he very impressed. Clearly she'd been in some sort of special forces when she'd served in the military. The fact that she wasn't still a soldier and why she claimed that she couldn't go back seemed odd. Clovis was a good soldier as far as he could tell. She worked well in a team and followed orders better than many soldiers he'd served with. Her skill was clearly up to par and killing didn't seem to be an issue. So why couldn't she serve in the military? Whatever the reason it wasn't his business and Deren decided to drop the matter unless Clovis brought it up.

From above Deren scanned the area around Ford looking for any problems. From his vintage point the sniper could get a line of sight on most of the camp outside of the tents and the echo when he fired would make pinning him down hard. It was a good spot but once he fired he knew the whole camp would be alerted so Deren waited for as long as he could relying on Clovis to protect herself.

When Clovis finally had to kill one of the bandits Deren knew her time was running out. Around the camp several bandits ran to put out the fires. In the bedlam one of the bandits tripped over the body Clovis had left and began shouting for help. Moments later two bandits were drawing a bead on the running Clovis. There were two rapid shots from above and both riflemen went down and several others took cover as they realized a sniper was at work.

The blood from the man was rank in her nose. Two kills in one day was not good for her stomach. Clovis parried a man with a crowbar and knocked him out cold with the end of her sabre then resumed running to the path. Almost as soon a she started running again she ran head first into a stone wall. She turned left then another one appeared and the same thing happened again when she turned the other way. When she tried running back towards the camp another wall blocked her way. Clovis was surrounded by four high walls of stone.

She should have known that there was another alchemist in the camp but the wall wouldn't be able to hold her for long. Clovis jumped from wall to wall then grabbed the edge and leaped out. She didn't want to risk getting caught again and sprinted at full speed without turning back.

Deren tried to cover Clovis as she ran and took down two more shooters but couldn't do anything about the walls that began pinning her in. Quickly scanning the area he spotted the alchemist and took aim at the man's head but before he could pull the trigger felt a rifle barrel poke him in the back.

"Damn it." Deren said under his breath as he realized he'd been too focused on the battle below.

"Set the rifle down, rise to your knees, lace your fingers over your head and stand slowly." A voice from above ordered.

Slowly Deren did as he was told and began to rise with his hands on his head. As the bandit took a step back Deren shot to his feet quickly and caught the barrel of the rifle in a quick motion. Deren pushed the barrel away and punched with all of his considerable strength. The bandit went down hard but Deren managed to keep a hold of the rifle. As he swung the barrel around and reached for the grip he heard the sound of two rifles and turned.

"Let me guess. Drop my weapon and put my hands up." Deren said as he dropped the rifle.



Below the ground in front of Clovis split and crumbled around her leaving only a circle of firm ground around her feet. Several feet away seven bandits rushed towards her with rifles ready and behind then walked the alchemist.

"Surrender and I promise you won't be harmed." The alchemist said calmly. "You are very talented madame but you will end up dead if you continue to resist. The only way out is blocked and by now your sniper friend will have been dealt with. You really have no choice."
