Melinda rolls over in her sleep.
Narrator you all are surprised at how long you slept for. It seems to be the early morning of the next day.
Janice wakes up looking at a sleeping Mel touching her nose.
Wanda "Zzzz."
Zhou rises in his room... Preparing for his hygiene rituals.
Melinda feels a throbbing in her head.
Janice stops tapping Mel's head.
Wanda "ZZZZZZ".
Janice "Hey there blue eyes, wake up."
Melinda slowly opens up her eyes to take in her surroundings.
Wanda rolls over.
Janice was awoken rather rudely from Wanda's snoring.
Charles snores.
Janice wiggles her eyebrows at Mel, "Come here often?"
Melinda placing her hand to her head, "Oh goodness." doesn't find Janice's joke amusing..
Wanda mumbles in her sleep "Ze natulll breasssssts".
Janice "You need allot of water kiddo."
Melinda is still holding her head. "I need something."
Janice looks for her Wanda to English dictionary in the nightstand and only finds a Greek copy of the Giddeon.
Wanda rolls over.
Janice sits up trying not to disturb Mel, "Let me get you your robe."
Melinda turns on her back and stares at the ceiling. "Lordly, what did I drink? How much did I drink?".
Janice "You had three small glasses of champagne".
Melinda "Why?" And looks down under the covers. "Oh my." hugs the covers closer to her, "Ummmm..."
Janice hops up goes to the bathroom, closes door, moments later comes out with a glass of water and Mel's night robe.
Wanda snores.
Melinda is trying to figure out how she got nekkid..
Charles snorts, "SGGNNNKKKK".
Melinda looks at Janice, still trying to figure out what happened last night..
Zhou looks up at the wall.. Towards Charles's room as he trims his beard..
Wanda snorts.
Janice walks over to the bed and hands her the robe and then the water and grins to herself, "What no good morning kiss Mel? Or should I call you tiger?".
Melinda looks over to the sofa to find out what is making that sound, then raises a brow and takes both quickly from Janice..
Wanda snores.
Melinda "Thank ya."
Wanda "Zzzz".
Melinda tries to sit up slow in the bed, pulling the covers up with her..
Wanda realizes a loud snort.
Melinda "What happened last night? Did I pass out?" sips on the water..
Janice sits on the bed and leers at Mel trying not to laugh, "well after wards you did."
Melinda gulps down some water, trying to look at anything except for Janice after she said that, still can't remember what happened the night before. "Are ya sure that's all I drank?".
Zhou finishes washing and makes sure the door to his room is locked... After that, he retrieves ceremonial robes from his bag that have been carefully wrapped, dressing quickly. He grabs a few hair ties, wrapping his hair into a top knot..
Janice looks at Melinda's blush, "Aww that's okay Mel," hold a giggle, "It was special to me at least even if you don't remember it."
Wanda snores louder.
Janice nods to Mel's question.
Melinda "What are ya talkin bout Janice?".
Zhou then retrieves a sheathed katana from his large bag, settling it horizontally on the floor, he kneels before it, lowering his eyes and begins to meditate..
Wanda "Zzzz".
Melinda holds her head again since the echo of Wanda's snore just sent another throbbing feeling through her brain..
Janice "Well at least Wanda didn't you hear screaming like that, no instead of Tiger, banshee is more appropriate."
Melinda "Oh Janice wake her up or something please." can't believe what Janice is saying. .
Janice walks up and over to Wanda and slaps her hard on the arm, VERY hard. .
Charles tries to out snore Wanda.
Zhou thinks that between Charles and Wanda, they're going to wake the whole place up..
Wanda wakes up with a jolt grabbing Janice's arm.
Melinda turns her back to Janice while she's trying to wake her up and quickly slips on her robe..
Janice "Wasps sweetie."
Wanda looks startled and jolts up, <"What the......"> in French..
Melinda sits on the edge of the bed drinking down the rest of her water..
Charles snoozes.
Janice Smiles at Wanda and walks to what's left of the strawberries and champagne pouring a new glass for herself.
Zhou continues kneeling on the floor, meditating..
Wanda "You know zhere are better ways to wake a woman."
Janice Walks to Mel with the strawberries, "Here eat this."
Melinda takes a strawberry and pops it into her mouth..
Enigma plays in Zhou's room.
Wanda wonders why Melinda is still nekkid but is not about to say anything.
Janice Takes a strawberry and dips it into the champagne and looks at Mel, "Here."
Wanda realizes she is just picturing her nekkid, walks over to get her own glass "Oh ez one of those mornings."
Melinda rubs her forehead with her fingers, "No more drinking for me."
Wanda wonders why Mel is blushing.
Janice bumps Mel with her shoulder, "Aww but you really seemed to enjoy yourself last night."
Charles jumps out of bed, banging his head on the light, and falling back in.
Melinda "Well now I'm sure I did Janice, it's just a shame I don't remember it."
Wanda wonders why the red of Mel's cheeks is looking more green now.
Janice starts to giggle, "Really Mel? Why is that?".
Melinda "Well we were celebratin right?".
Wanda looks at Mel "Some more than others."
Melinda looks over at Wanda, "How long did ya'll stay up after I past out?".
Wanda "Long enough."
Janice grins at Mel, "Oh you knocked me out Mel, I dozed off just after you did."
Wanda looks at Janice and tries not to laugh at the poor Mel.
Janice turns to Wanda about to burst.
Charles snores some more.
Melinda is really trying to recall what happened last night now..
Wanda has to look away "I will go get ze boys".
Melinda gets up from the bed a bit unsteady on her feet..
Wanda wonders if Charles will have pants on.
Janice turns back to look at Mel's confused state. "Why don't you take a nice hot bath." Make you feel better."
Charles is still asleep.
Janice Goes over to Mel and supports her..
Wanda walks to the door "I will be right back girls."
Melinda "That sounds like a good idea Janice. I think I'll just do that." And walks to the bathroom, and smiles at Janice, "Thank ya."
Janice "Want company?" tries really hard not to laugh.
Wanda opens the door and steps into the hall heading to Charles' room.
Melinda mouth drops open, "Err... umm... no Janice."
Janice bites back a grin, "Oh you changed your tune." Bites her lip, "I mean after last night an all." turns away to hide a giggle.
Melinda looks down at Janice wondering what she's talking bout, she doesn't say a word cause she really doesn't want to know what happened last night now..
Janice sighs, but is really giggling silently.
Wanda laughs in the hallway as she hears Janice tease Mel.
Charles snorts.
Janice "Its okay Mel, I have felt rejection before."
Wanda walks up to Charles' door and knocks..
Charles snorts awake , and thinks.
Melinda opens her mouth as if she was going to say something but changes her mind and closes the door instead..
Wanda "Oh Charles...."
Charles after allot of crashing noises opens the door.
Janice sounds like she's crying, but is really laughing .
Wanda looks down as he opens the door and grins.
Charles is not only wearing pants, but an additional pair on top of his head.
Melinda leans up against the door whispering, "Lordly, what did I do last night? All I did was have a couple of glasses..." she pauses for a moment and thinks, "Right?".
Wanda "You went a bit over board there."
Charles " Morning Ms DePoisson".
Wanda giggles.
Charles "Why do you say that?".
Melinda shakes the questions outta her mind and runs the water for her bath..
Charles voices is rather muffled by the pants.
Wanda "Good morning Charles" and points to his head, "You have a little something right here, no?" and points to her own head.
Janice composes herself and gets dresses still tending her wounds and eats the remaining treats trying to control her rumbling tummy..
Melinda takes her robe off and slips into the hot water..
Wanda moves closer and whispers in his hear "Your head iz in someone's pants."
Janice sits down at the desk, props her boots up on the desk, leans back and opens a magazine, listening to Mel get into the bath and lights a cigar.
Charles "Well, that's a first."
Melinda still has Janice's words echoing through her mind, 'What did she mean by that anyway?'.
Janice turns on the radio and listens to the new 40's tunes.
Wanda whispers "Your first?" and runs her hand down his chest "I find zhat hard to believe."
Charles jumps.
Wanda grins and holds back a laugh.
Charles quickly turns towards his room and runs into a wall, falling on the ground.
Melinda hears music coming from the other room, "Oh that sounds good." And hums along to the tune..
Wanda laughs "Fly boyz... you have to love zhem." turns around to head back to the room.
Charles sits up feeling around with his hands, and starts feeling up Wanda's leg.
Janice pops the last strawberry in her mouth still giggling.
Wanda stops dead in her tracks and looks down.
Melinda leans back to get her hair wet and then lets the warmth of the water relax her to the point of falling asleep.
Wanda smiles "Now you have ze idea!".
Charles "Hmm , I wonder what this is".
Wanda "If you do not know... I am not telling you."
Charles takes the pants over his eye's, looks were is hands are, then away, then back, and quickly puts them to his sides.
Wanda "Suit yourself." and bends down to whisper "Wou had ze chance." and grins not moving..
Charles looks around rather embarrassed.
Janice listens to the sound of bubbles being blown, sighs and thinks 'If Mel fell asleep again...'
Melinda wakes up abruptly from the feel of water going up her nose, "Oh my."
Wanda grins at Charles.
Zhou raises eyebrow.
Wanda sees Charles blush.
Janice knocks on the door to the bathroom, "Mel you okay in there?".
Melinda blinks her eyes, "Ok Melinda wake up." looks towards the door, "Yes Janice I'm ok."
Charles "Um, er, I'll go, see about breakfast shall I?".
Wanda leans towards Charles slowly and the whispers in his ear "See you down stairs." and stands back upright..
Janice giggles then composes herself, "Need me to get your back?".
Charles "Oh, righty-o."
Melinda looks back down at the water that nearly drowned her a second ago and thinks, "Just as long as I don't fall asleep again."
Wanda turns around and walks away smirking.
Melinda "Hummm.... no thank ya." .
Wanda opens the door to the room and enters still laughing.
Zhou almost falls asleep, then snaps his head back as he shakes it a little bit. "Need to remember not to meditate that hard..."
Melinda decides that it's time to hurry up and get outta her bath..
Charles looks at the pair of pants he has in his hand, and tosses them innocently into his room, and hastily goes in the opposite direction of Wanda.
Janice giggling silently and adds loud enough for Mel to hear, "So it's a touch me in the morning and walk away situation?" walks away from the door giggling..
Melinda brows knit together, "What? God what happened last night?".
Wanda hears Janice and laughs thinking 'Zis is going to be one of zhose days'.
Zhou gets up, quickly changing back into his normal clothing, denim and a T-shirt. Stashing the robe and the sword, he finally ventures from his room..
Wanda looks at Janice and nods towards the door "Playing with Melinda again?".
Charles takes the Elevator down stairs , and starts dancing to the Elevator music.
Melinda thinks, "Ok I was on the sofa. Wanda wanted to show me that show of her. I don't think she did. Janice came in with that tray. I had some glasses. I... I... God what happened after that?!".
Janice giggling, and winking, "She wont let me." loud enough for Mel to hear.
Wanda laughs "Yeah I had the same problem with Charles."
Melinda turns after hearing Janice and quickly washes up..
Janice putting her finger up to her lips, "I think she got what she wanted." and giggles looking at Wanda.
Melinda thinks to herself, 'I would be able to tell, right?'.
Wanda looks at Janice and laughs.
Janice looks at Wanda, "You know that new guy is still here, give him a shot."
Wanda "Should I go get ze Zhou?" then registering Janice's suggestion, "Guess zat is a yes." heads back to the door still laughing.
Melinda gets out from her bath and dries herself off..
Wanda tries to remember what room is Zhou's, and finds it, she hopes knocking knocks on a door.
Charles goes to the restaurant, and gets a table.
Wanda knocks again on the door.
Melinda wraps her robe around her once more and heads into the other room..
Janice looks up at the door opening.
Wanda wonders where he is.
Melinda glances over quickly at Janice then heads for her suitcases to find something to wear..
Wanda goes back to the girls room to see if they are ready and runs into Zhou in the hall, literally. "Oomph" Looks up, <"Where did you come from?"> in French..
Zhou "Oh, excuse me Ms. Wanda."
Janice "Mel?".
Melinda "Janice? I hope we don't have to go into anymore caves today. I'm gonna wear one of my skirt suits and I don't want to loose a shoe again."
Wanda looks up and smiles "No it was me. I was not looking."
Janice nods, "That's fine, they suit you better."
Zhou bows slightly at the neck.. "I did not see you." Smiling. "Well, are the others joining us soon?".
Melinda smiles heads to the closet..
Janice "Mel?" kinda giggling, and kinda feeling guilty.
Wanda looks back at the room "I would zink so."
Zhou Nods. "Well that is good. I was beginning to wonder if you all were going to be entertaining each other in there all day." Completely straight faced..
Wanda looks at Zhou "Would you like to head for ze breakfast?".
Melinda comes outta the closet with an outfit she finally decided to wear. "I feel so hung over. I couldn't have just had 3 glasses to drink last night."
Wanda grins "Now sir, if zhey where, would not I be here."
Zhou looks at Wanda for a moment, then shakes his head while attempting to suppress a smile. "I think I will take you up on the breakfast Ms. Wanda."
Wanda slips her hand in Zhou's elbow "Shall we?".
Zhou looks at Wanda's hand for a second, then nods. "Let's go."
Melinda sighs..
Narrator Zhou and Wanda head to the lift and down stairs.
Janice looks at Mel, "I was just kidding."
Melinda goes back into the bathroom to change and put on make up and turns around, "Bout what?" Pauses, "Janice? Kiddin bout what?".
Janice looks at Mel, "Nothing happened, I was just kidding."
Melinda "Oh. So nothing happened at all last night?".
Wanda sees Charles at a table yelling at the waiter for some crackers.
Janice "Well you passing out, me taking care of you... no nothing else happened."
Wanda points "Zhere is Charles."
Melinda heads into the bathroom to change, but leaves the door open a crack..
Zhou Leans in close to Wanda. "Charles isn't schizophrenic is he?".
Janice smirks and puffs her cigar, "Interesting that you thought you would have fun with me though."
Wanda giggles .
Melinda thinks, 'Have fun with her, eh?' and applies her make up before exiting the bathroom, "When did I say that?".
Charles drinks some tea , and grins at the others.
Zhou draws Wanda with him toward Charles's table... "Come, let's sit down."
Wanda wonders where the girls are..
Janice "Oh when you said you are sure you had fun but can't remember it."
Wanda grins "Oui."
Melinda checks herself in the mirror once more and sprays some perfume on..
Janice stands up and puts the chair back, looking for her hat..
Zhou pulls a chair out for Wanda first, before taking a seat himself..
Wanda sits and grins.
Melinda "Oh. I meant while we were celebratin us finding that jade. That kinda fun. What did ya think I meant by it?" grabs her glasses, purse and puts on her heels.
Charles blinks at Wanda , and looks around for his evil twin.
Janice nods, "Thought you meant sexual." Deadpanned, and opens the door putting on her hat..
Wanda grins at Charles and points to his head "I see you got rid of ze little problem, no?".
Charles "Uh yes."
Zhou looks between Charles and Wanda. "Problem?".
Charles blushes at Wanda.
Melinda stares blankly at Janice, "Sexually? Why Janice Covington. What kinda gal do ya think I am?" And thinks to herself, 'What did she read it off my face or something?'.
Wanda "Ze girls should be down soon, no?" sits back and grins.
Janice grins at Mel, "Thought it was the twinkle in your eye." still holding the door open.
Melinda is ready to head downstairs to meet the others. Thinks, 'Twinkle in my eye?' But doesn't bother to ask.
Narrator The girls head to the lift and downstairs.
Zhou leans back slightly, crossing his arms over his chest... he almost seems to draw into himself a little bit more.
Janice bounces on her heels her stomach growling loudly.
Melinda giggles from the growling sound coming from Janice's stomach, "Hungry are ya?" .
Narrator As the two get off the lift they see their group sitting at a table .
Janice bats her eyelashes, "Starving." and chuckles.
Melinda points to the group, "There they are." grins and heads for the others..
Waiter walks up to the table <"The usual?">.
Janice <"Yes and make mine a double">.
Zhou seems to ignore the waiter, staring at the table..
Melinda smiles and makes herself comfortable in the seat. Her head is still throbbing lightly.
Waiter takes some notes and taps Zhou on the shoulder <"Hey buddy, What do you want?">.
Melinda looks over at the other, "Good mornin. I hope ya'll slept well."
Waiter seems to be in a hurry.
Wanda grins.
Janice "Zhou looks like the Smithsonian will be taking that Jade off our hands, I do plan to cut you all in for a modest wage of course."
Zhou waves at the waiter with his hand without looking up... <"I'm fine">.
Waiter walks away.
Charles "Well , first time I've been paid in..." his thoughts trail off becoming interested in something else, the spoon..
Zhou finally looks up at Janice... "Thank you. That is most kind of you."
Melinda looks at Zhou, "What's the matter? Looks like ya got something on you're mind."
Janice "Well we all risked our keesters for this one, and it is the least I can do for destroying your ancestors book."
Wanda wonders what modest wage means.
Zhou looks at Mel for a moment.. then looks away again... but not at anyone in particular... "It couldn't be helped Janice, it was the only way to stop him."
Wanda looks at Janice "How are you getting it out of Greece?"
Melinda thinks to herself, 'Someone got up on the wrong side of the bed this mornin.'.
Charles plays with a spoon.
Janice thinks, 'I have my important prize, hey I wonder if there are more scrolls floating about Greece. Damn Nazi's all over the country side, all that fighting will be years before I can dig, IF they win the war.'
Waiter walks back quickly and thumps the food on the table.
Zhou "So... where will you all go from here?".
Janice nods to Zhou, "I would have rather of done it plan A though."
Charles accidentally flicks the spoon, hitting the waiter in the head with it.
Melinda sips on her tea hoping it will help with her hang over..
Janice sits back and chews on a piece of food, "I think I will stick around, see the sights, talk to the locals, play in the sand." looks at Mel..
Waiter <"Why you..."> rubs his head .
Melinda "Charles..." And shakes her head. "Now if ya can't be still we're gonna have ta take your silverware from ya."
Charles looks over at the Waiter, as if nothing had happened "Yes my good man."
Zhou "I think I should get moving again... maybe go north..." he leans forward, steepling his fingers, still refusing to meet anyone's gaze..
Charles "Yes Miss. Pappas?"
Waiter walks back over to Charles and picks up someone's plate of food and throws it...
Melinda is quietly listening to the conversation.
Zhou is glad he didn't order anything.
Charles bends down to pick up his spoon.
Janice stops stuffing her mouth long enough to look at Zhou, "Bad choice my friend, North is occupied by Germans we just escaped them."
Waiter misses Charles by a mile as all the plates contents land on Wanda's lap.
Charles "Uh , wondered where this got to " pockets the spoon.
Melinda can't believe he just did that.
Janice "Hey!".
Zhou "It's where I belong."
Wanda stands up spilling water all over.
Janice Stands up and grabs the waiter by the lapels.
Zhou looks at Wanda.
Melinda "Why the nerve of some people!" And tries to help Wanda with the mess that is on her lap..
Zhou gets up, standing just to the left of Janice and the waiter..
Charles " Really Ms DePoisson, you need to eat allot more carefully."
Melinda shakes her head at Charles, but continues to brush off Wanda's lap with her napkin. "Wanda, you should upstairs and change outta those pants before that stains."
Wanda stands up and picks her water up throwing it on the waiter.
Zhou looks at Janice and the waiter, wondering if she's planning on doing anything..
Melinda ducks..
Waiter "Eeek!".
Janice gets soaked, "Thanks Wanda." spitting water out.
Melinda "Janice don't hurt that guy to badly now."
Janice Drags the guy out of the restaurant..
Wanda "But he...."
Waiter <"Hey what the hell?">
Janice <"Manager!"> has a strong grip, repeating in Greek <"Manger!">
Melinda to the waiter, "Why on heaven's sake that ya do that?"
Manager <"yes?">
Melinda wonders why Janice just hasn't socked him one yet.
Zhou watches Janice and the waiter.
Waiter squirms .
Manager <"What is going on here?">
Janice <"This Waiter of yours just assaulted your diners.">.
Manager <"He did what?">
Charles sips his tea.
Manager looks at his son the waiter.
Janice <"He threw a plate of food on us.">
Zhou crosses his arms across his chest... continuing to watch.
Melinda nods.
Manager <"That's it I have had it with you, I don't care what you mother says you are not working here anymore">
Waiter <"But father, that guy hit me on the head with a spoon.">
Janice lets the boy go and walks back to the table.
Manager grabs his son by the ear <"Yeah the sky is falling"> and pulls him outta sight.
Zhou follows Janice, sitting down again.
New Waiter walks over to the table and tells the group the meal is on the house.
Melinda leans over to Janice, "Ya should have just hit him. That's the kinda kid that needs ta be laid over ones lap and spanked till he yells for his mama."
Janice "No its on Wanda." She looks at Mel, "Melinda Pappas, I can't believe that came out of your mouth."
Wanda looks down at her lap.
Charles chuckles.
Wanda grins and excuses herself and goes to clean up.
Melinda "Well Janice." Looks over to her, "It's true. My mama would have givin me a spankin I'd never forget."
Janice grins, "So you were spanked allot as a child? I will have to remember that if you act up."
Melinda "Janice Covington, now you stop that."
Zhou looks at Janice. "That was very, diplomatic of you."
Wanda comes back to the table and sits down.
Charles looks up and around "So what happened to the waiter?".
Janice kids, "Mel now don't talk back to me you might get a good smack bottom if you do."
Melinda grins and shakes her head at Janice's comment.
Zhou begins chuckling, even he can't stop this time..
Wanda hears that and files that away for mental pictures to have later.
Janice nods to Zhou, "I have my moments." she is in a good mood. Seeing a man in the corner eyeing the group and then looks away. He is wearing dark clothes and has a big build. he has brown hair and a scared face.
Zhou leans forward a little bit across the table... his voice low so as not to carry far. "We're being watched."
Janice eyeing a man, then after a moment, wipes her mouth and stands up walking nonchalant to the man.
Zhou looks at Janice. "Of course, we don't have to be subtle about this."
Melinda spots a man looking towards the group. But when she turns around completely to look at him he turns away..
Zhou watches Janice, but remains seated for now..
Wanda thinks 'oh Mel and her subtlety'.
Janice walks confident and staidly to the man.
Man looks towards the corner where other men sit. She slaps Charles lightly on the face, "Wake up Charles... you're dreaming."
Charles "What what?".
Melinda is still staring at the men..
Man looks up. <"Yes?"> he says in German.
Janice clears her throat not expecting that, <"I saw you eyeing us."> German.
Melinda hears the guys accent, "Oh no he's German." And gets up from the table.
Zhou hears the language, rises smoothly but quickly.
Man <"With three beautiful women like you, can you blame me."> and looks around hoping no one hears him speaking German.
Melinda quickly walks over to Janice to make sure she doesn't shoot him or anything just for being German.
Zhou makes his way to Janice's shoulder, eyeing the man with a stone face, remains standing.
Charles picks his teeth.
Man sees Zhou rise and moves his hand towards his gun but doesn't grab it.
Melinda stands besides Janice and smiles down to the man.
Janice whispered to Man <"Well, what do you have in mind?"> Sits at his table.
Man grins up at Melinda.
Melinda looks over at Janice hoping that she doesn't get mad at her for coming over.
Zhou continues staring at the man. less than courteously..
Man looks back at Janice <"Well I'm not sure you are what I'm looking for.">.
Janice <"Oh her? She's a bit skinny if you ask me."> points at Wanda, <"Now that's a woman.">
Man glances at a table in the corner, looks at where she is pointing and smiles.
Wanda sees them looking at her and stands next to Zhou.
Man <"You know your group seems popular">.
Melinda wonders what Janice and the gentleman are talkin bout.
Janice <"And why is that?">.
Man <"I have heard some stories">.
Zhou is standing behind Janice, next to Mel, with a wonderful contrast in visages.
Janice <"I love stories, they run in the family, do tell...">
Man smirks <"You know if I were you I would be careful who I talk to">
Janice <"Oh careful is something I always am.">
Zhou almost snarls, but keeps himself still with great effort.
Charles sniffs, and rubs his nose.
Melinda doesn't understand a word of what they are saying..
Man looks at Zhou <"And I would be careful who I walk around town with">.
Melinda is wondering why the man is eyein Zhou the way he is..
Janice <"Oh and who can be more incriminating that me?">.
Narrator The group on the corner watches from where they are.
Zhou again with great effort, pulls a mask over hsi features, feigning ignorance to the language for now.
Man laughs.
Janice leans in close to the man, leaning on one arm and the other ducking under the table. She then sticks her revolver against the mans gut, <"Who sent you?">
Man grins although his eyes say that he is worried.
Zhou nonchalantly makes his way around the table, standing at the man's back.
Melinda steps sideways a little to get a better angle.
Janice <"Just remember buddy, I am the one without morels">.
Man <"Like I believe you will shoot me here.">.
Janice cocks her gun, <"So I spring for a new dinette set, I think I can afford it">.
Wanda moves her hand a bit closer to her gun.
Man <"But can you afford jail?">
Narrator The group in the corner stand and move a bit closer.
Janice <"Course I can, you forget."> she whispers his way, "Mien Kapitain." <"That I have connections.">.
Man looks at the other men <"Don't bite off more than you can chew."> his voice cracks a bit.
Janice looks around to see who's breakfast she would be interrupting.
Narrator The men are watching the Janice and the group.
Charles isn't really paying attention.
Zhou eyes the other group for a second. "Janice, I think we're going to get some company soon."
Man <"Now sit down sweet heart and listen.">
Janice motions to Zhou, in Chinese says. <"At my signal hit the Fire Gong behind you.">
Zhou nods slightly, repositioning his footing..
Melinda seems to be slowly making her way farther from the table.
Man <"You will have to deal with me, sweet cheeks.">
Janice other hand seems to find the table cloth more appealing than the Germans.
Charles blinks at Mel.
Man is getting angry .
Janice <"Now you have to tell me what exactly is a poor little German like you doing in a place that doesn't want your kind here, like this.">.
Man <"I think you are above your head, woman">.
Zhou reaches out, slowly wrapping his hand around the back of a chair..
Melinda retreats back to the table know that there is no way to stop Janice from shooting him now. It's too late presses the gun harder into his gut and waits for Zhou to get into position.
Man <"You can't screw your way outta this one">.
Wanda hears that and gets angry moving her hand on her gun.
Zhou nods his head almost imperceptibly at Janice..
Janice still has the trigger cocked.
Man <"We know about your little...prize. If you don't want to see your little travel friends get hurt I would suggest you hand it over">.
Man is trying to hide his fear.
Zhou waits, his nerves on as much edge as Janice's trigger finger..
Janice laughs and nods to Zhou to hit it.
Zhou whips the chair around with all of his strength at the gong..
Charles still sips his tea.
Melinda looks over to see what happened..
Narrator The men are confused but move closer hands on their guns.
Janice shoots point blank can't miss even if Charles fell on her.
Man "Hundin masd...." and slumps over.
Janice turns her gun on the others.
Zhou eyes whip up to the other group.
Narrator You hear the loud sound from the fire gong. As Zhou strikes the fire 'gong' he falls over a chair and just barely manages not to hurt himself but twisting and landing on his back. People have heard the gong and begin to panic running out the door.
Zhou shakes his head as he looks up thinks, "remember to relax tight nerves help no one." quickly gets to his feet and then looks to the opposing group.
Narrator The group of men are stopped from firing by the people in the way.
Melinda sees the other man and runs into the lobby to get the hotel security.
Zhou looks for and finds Janice, getting to her side, "We have to get out of here." looks "It's dangerous to stay here now."
Group of Men try to make there way out and manage to grab Melinda as she runs by.
Janice grabs her bag and grabs the shot guy "Grab him!" to haul him out.
Melinda "Oh my goodness."
Janice doesn't see in the commotion.
Melinda "Janice!!".
Group of Men covers Mel's mouth.
Melinda tries to elbow that man holding her. Melinda tries to bite down on the man's fingers that are covering her mouth.
Janice "Not now Mel I have problems."
Group of Men is having trouble holding on to a squirming Melinda.
Melinda eyes bug outta her head when she hears Janice's statement.
Zhou grabs the German and helps Janice.
Melinda tries again to yell for help.
Group of Men move towards the lobby.
Zhou Looks at Janice "It's like she doesn't realize we already have problems."
Janice nods to Zhou, "Take his feet and get him out back, let's go".
Group of Men hits Melinda over the head.
Zhou grabs his feet, dragging him toward the back..
Melinda is out cold..
Wanda stays near Janice with her hand on her gun.
Melinda is not longer squirming.
Janice "Wanda get the doors..." pauses looks around and yells in a horse voice, "Mel come on!" and rushes out.
Group of Men drag her towards the front door propping her up to make it look like she is still awake.
Charles blinks.
Melinda is seeing stars and birdies circle around her head.
Wanda runs to the restaurant door and opens it.
Narrator two black cars are at the front door waiting for the men.
Charles has no idea what happened.
Janice stumbles to the back and looks for her truck, huffing carrying the man.
Group of Men drag Melinda into a car before it speeds away.
Narrator You see the two black cars speed away past you.
Janice "Wimps!".
Charles goes to find Janice and Zhou and Wanda.
Wanda runs up to Charles "Where is Melinda? She ezn't with you?"
Melinda thought she had a bad headache when she woke up this morning wait till she wakes up from this one.
Zhou looks around. "Where's your truck Covington?"
Janice makes it to her tuck and looks at Zhou, "We need to dump this trash."
Wanda runs to the truck.
Janice looks a the little cans, no luck and then the bed of her truck. "Throw him in there."
Charles "Uh no she isn't Ms DePoisson. Isn't she with you?"
Wanda runs to Janice "We lost Melinda"
Zhou hefts the German, tossing him into the bed of the truck.
Wanda looks back at Charles "No".
Janice "No she's behind..." *Thud* "...you I thought."
Zhou looks around then swears. "Shit."
Wanda "Janice? What do ve do now?".
Melinda is still out cold with a huge knot on the back of her head..
Wanda looks around "No, I do not see her."
Janice face flushes and that little vein in her neck sticks out, she kicks the truck. "They got her!" (insert commercial type cliffhanger music here).
Zhou "We'll find her Janice."
Wanda "Janice where would zhey have taken her?".
Janice kicks the tire again.
Charles "Taken who what where?".
Janice thinks, looks up and throws her hat.
Wanda is worried.
Group of Men come to a halt in front of a large building and hide the cars.
Charles scratches his head.
Melinda is still out cold.
Janice looks at them needing to get to her friend that works in the Greek intelligence. "Get in the truck I have to find someone."
Group of Men grab Melinda and pull her in the building. They take her to a dark room toss her in and lock it..
Charles gets in the truck.
Wanda holds off asking her questions and gets into the truck.
Melinda starts to stir..
Narrator Janice's truck comes to a halt in front of a small government building.
Zhou wonders if anyone checked the body for any kind of identification.
Charles blinks.
Narrator It looks like some sort of administration building for the Greek army.
Melinda tries to focus her eyes on anything to figure out where she is, but her head is still spinning from being hit.
Janice "Charles and Zhou grab that thing." points the body, "We need to show this off."
Zhou leans forward and drags the body closer, he starts rifling through the pockets.
Melinda closes her eyes hoping the pounding in her head will stop or go away.
Janice opens the door to the building smirks at the guards in the door who let her pass with a smile, and holds it open for them.
Zhou pauses looking up at Janice... "Show it off?".
Charles "I say!"
Janice walks into the reception area, <"Delivery for a Julius Stephenopolis!"> shouts out in Greek, winks at the girl behind the counter.
Zhou "Shit..." He shakes his head, wallet in hand. "We should dispose of this body, not show it off."
Wanda "Who ez zis person that can help?" she wonders aloud to herself. looks down "Why?".
Charles shrugs.
Zhou looks at Wanda for a minute, then nods toward the building... "What is this place? What's Covington plan on doing?"
Wanda looks "I wish I knew. Who ez zis man?"
Charles "I'm Charles."
Julius walks into the room with Janice.
Zhou tosses her the wallet. "He's SS. And I'm very hesitant about announcing our position by dropping this body off to some legal organization."
Julius <"Can I help you?">
Melinda finally wakes up completely, but is groggy. "Where am I?"
Zhou "If Covington has friends here, that maybe a different story."
Wanda understands and finds some cloth to hide the body with.
Janice <"Hey Jules I got a special delivery for you!">.
Julius <"Now Janice what ever can that be?">
Janice wiggles her fingers, "Follow me" in English.
Julius <"Tell me its not the fruit cake you tried to give me last Christmas..."> follows.
Zhou hops down from the truck... "Wanda, why would the SS be interested in Covington? Is it because of the scrolls?"
Janice "Hey that was laced, you didn't eat it?"
Julius <"No but the wife did and she was a bit frisky that night. Reminded me of your nutbread">
Melinda eyes try to adjust to the darkness of the room.
Janice leads him to the truck and winks, "Okay then Jules repay the favor." nods to the now covered body, "Tell me where the nazis in the area are."
Melinda thinks aloud, "Melinda Pappas, what on God's Green Earth have ya gotta yourself into now?"
Guard hears Melinda stir.
Zhou hears the word favor, then backs off.
Julius peers in the truck <"Now that is not nutbread">
Janice "They got someone important to me, I want her back, help me."
Charles blinks at Julius " What did he say?"
Julius <"All I know are the Germans that seem to be interested in old things. I'm just glad thats all they want?">
Janice "Mel ain't that old, I mean she old but not that old." Thinks, 'Slightly old.'
Melinda touches the back of her head where it is throbbing the most, "Ow."
Julius smiles at his friend <"You never ask for a favor so she must be quite important to you.">
Janice smirks, <"Well I owe her for saving my kister a few nights ago.">
Julius looks at the others <"English?">.
Janice <"English, Chinoasian something, and French.">
Wanda looks at the stranger.
Zhou <"Chinese not Chinoasian."> He smiles, but seems to hurt a little bit as he says it.
Julius in his best English turns and smiles charmingly to the others then back to Janice he begins, "Alright, Janice you never ask anything of me. She must be important." After Janice nods, he continues. "I can tell you that I have heard they are in a large building here..." He takes out a pad and draws up a quick map. "Just go here".
Zhou gets closer to the stranger, looking at the pad. Little tactical neurons begin to fire in Zhou's brain.
Julius "You know who this man is?" looks towards the body.
Janice "Nazi".
Zhou "He's Gestapo."
Janice "Zhou give him the wallet you knicked."
Julius reaches his hand out.
Zhou looks up, "I gave it to Wanda."
Melinda gets up from the cold floor, her still throbbing and sees a little ray of light coming in from a hole.
Janice looks at Wanda, "Give it up toots".
Wanda is a bit stunned "Oh sorry" and hands it over.
Julius looks at the papers, and shakes his head at the stupid man for carrying them. "You have a place to get rid of him?"
Janice teeters on her heels in a hurry.
Zhou "This body needs to disappear."
Melinda walks carefully towards the ray of light, since she can't see what's on the floor or what's around her.
Janice "Thought you would do the honors".
Julius waves two men over "For you my dear, anything". Then calls out to the guards in the buildings entrance, <"Get that piece of crap outta there!">
Janice smirks, "Tell the misses I said hello." and grabs the note he drew on and gets in the truck rushing them all in.
Julius watches as the men pull the body out, he twists on his heels and smiles. "Will do my darling and hey... Bring by this important friend for dinner when you can." grins.
Charles " Jolly good".
Janice looks out of the truck and lights a cigar, "For you my dear anything." and winks. "Everyone in the truck, we got nazi's to exterminate."
Julius grins and heads into the building thinking 'Boy I hops she is getting over Perry, she seems happy enough considering.'
Wanda looks up "Let's go!".
Zhou nods, climbing up into the back of the truck..
Guard comes towards Mel's door and opens it.
Melinda has her arms out stretched in front of her trying to feel for a door or someway out of there..
Guard grabs her arm <"Ah a a missy!"> in German.
Janice drives to the address parking a few blocks from it.
Melinda squints and holds her hands up in front of her due to the bright light. "Who are ya? What do ya want with me?"
Charles "Well that was fast."
Guard twists Mel's arm back.
Melinda "Ow. Ya don't have ta be so rough."
Guard laughs and tries to backhand her, but she ducks and he misses hitting the wall yelling in pain.
Melinda giggles to herself, "What a fool."
Janice thinks driving off I the truck, 'maybe she learned a thing or two from me, hope she's safe if anything ever happened to her...' thought gets cut off from the arrival of the street she needs to park at.
Guard "Hundin!" runs at Mel.
Melinda "I'm sorry I can't understand a word you're saying." tries to step outta his way.
Guard grabs Melinda with his good arm and throws her towards the wall.
Melinda "Umph."
Guard watches as Melinda hits the wall.
Melinda is going to be hating life in the morning, she is out cold again.
Guard watches as Melinda hits head first against the wall and goes limp.
Wanda looks very worried, <"What are we going to do Janice?">
Janice gets out of the truck and hides the scroll bag in the bushes a bit away from the truck. "Lets go!" and heads towards the place.
Wanda gets out her gun and follows.
Melinda is getting use to seeing the stars and birdies circling around her head.
Charles follows.
Zhou "Um, Wanda has a weapon. Does anyone else?"
Wanda lifts her brow "Oui I do, and I know how to use it."
Melinda shakes her head, trying to regain consciousness.
Narrator The building is large and looks like an abandoned 1920's constructed warehouse.
Zhou looks taken aback, "Well I did not mean it like that."
Janice looks at them and draws them to a huddle "Lets circle to a side door and sneak in." Turns to go then looks back, "Look for Mel too."
Melinda scans the room to see where she is this time and where the guard is.
Janice creeps up to the warehouse.
Zhou looks at Janice, "Do you have a weapon? Cause I think it would be monumentally stupid to walk in there without one."
Melinda notices she back in the same dark room as earlier. She sees the little ray of light shinning through the door again.
Zhou wonders if he should stay back, thinking. 'Maybe I should drive the truck through.'
Melinda tries to peak through the hole to see if she could see anything.
Wanda sneaks behind Janice.
Zhou "We should split up, take different sides."
Janice "I agree Zhou take Wanda I will take Charles".
Wanda smiles "Lets do zis then."
Zhou looks at Janice for a few moments. "Thank you." he says solemnly.
Guard#2 opens Mel's door.
Janice creeps to the right of the building.
Zhou goes to the left. Looking for entrance points..
Guard#2 in an undistinguishable European accent smirks at her, "Spunky little thing aren't you".
Melinda squints again cause of the light..
Wanda follows
Guard#2 moves closer holding handcuffs.
Melinda "Oh ya speak English? Well... what is it ya want with me? Why are ya holdin me here?"
Narrator two other men follow him in and take the handcuffs from him.
Zhou is wondering the same thing... though he probably hasn't seen them yet..
Guard#2 barks orders out in German that Mel can't understand, <"Lock her up"> then leans closer "All in due time."
Melinda backs away from the man..
Janice gets closer to a window to peek through the dingy things, "Stay back Charles I will holler if I need you." thinks 'Godforbid.'
Charles "I say, Alrighty then."
Janice creeps up.
Zhou staying low, makes his way up to a window, looking inside.
Wanda follows behind, looks at Zhou "After you."
Zhou is looking through a window getting visual information before he can plan an attack strategy.
Janice spies a guard with his back to her and she opens the large soot covered window with grace.
Wanda is looking around outside for people, then peeks in the window "I see about four of them, No?"
Zhou looks at Wanda. "Thanks." Then looks back at the window, not convinced that this is the best way in, but times a wasting.
Narrator Janice uses her whip and wraps it around the mans mouth preventing him from screaming then sends a kick to his head that snaps his neck.
Zhou reaches up to try and open the window.
Guard#2 walks up to Mel as the two guards hold her.
Melinda wonders how she's gonna get outta there while trying to pull her hands out of the cuffs, but they are on good and tight. She looks up and sees a hand coming her way again.
Guard#2 bloodies Mel's lip.
Janice drags the body out of sight and unbuttons his jacket and takes the rifle from his hands.
Melinda feels her lip spit in two and blood running down her lip..
Guard#2 lifts her head "Now, I will ask you only once... Where is the Jade you got from that cave?"
Janice tries the outfit on for size stuffing her hat in her own jacket.
Melinda looks up into his eyes, "I don't know what you're talkin bout." thinks, 'So they're after the jade, huh?'
Wanda follows behind Zhou.
Guard#2 "Wrong answer." aims his fist at her gut.
Janice walks through the door and looks about pointing the rifle.
Melinda tastes the blood from her lip and feels the throbbing of both of the huge knots on the back of her head.
Guard#2 knocks the wind out of Mel but didn't hit her where he wanted leaving her able to catch a breath.
Zhou hurdles the window pain, but cuts himself slightly coming down on the other side. He bites his tongue.
Janice slinks down the hallway slowly.
Melinda tries to catch her breath. "Oh..." thinks, 'Janice where are ya?'
Guard#2 "Now, one more time..." pauses slapping his fist against the palm of his hand, "Tell me where it is?"
Janice creeps down some more hearing Men talking to her right, the same direction the other two are heading. She sees Wanda and Zhou about to walk right into them.
Melinda is doubled over holdin her stomach, "I don't know what you are talkin bout." Spills blood on the floor from her mouth.
Janice creeps closer to the voices and peeks around a corner. She pulls back again, they are discussing a poker game.
Wanda follows behind Zhou gun drawn.
Janice <"Straight flush beats two pair."> was all the guards heard from her as she circle-kicks one in the throat and then knocks the other out with the butt of the rifle. In one fluent motion.
Melinda looks up when she hears Janice's voice. "Janice!"
Guard#2 hears Mel call out and has the guards shut the door.
Zhou looks at Janice. "You're making me look bad."
Janice creeps to Zhou "I heard her." Looks around for the next problem. "Sorry what I do best". She spies the door that was shut down the hall, "She's in there."
Wanda looks at the people "Oh la la!"
Janice heads for the door.
Zhou shakes his head trying to go with the flow.
Guard#1 Comes from around the corner. He has a bandage on his hand.
Melinda is too battered and beaten to move fast enough to get away.
Guard#1 holds a gun up at the three.
Janice drops her rifle to her foot balancing it on it and raises her hands in defeat.
Zhou puts his hands up unable to have procured a weapon in the first place.
Guard#2 pulls Mel's head up from behind with her hair and shushes her with a knife to her throat.
Zhou thinks, "This has not been a good day."
Melinda feels the cold steal on her throat and doesn't dare move.
Guard#1 <"Put the weapons down now!"> directs that to Wanda still holding a gun to him.
Zhou shakes his head begins slowly walking toward the guard hands still in the air.
Melinda feels hairs being ripped outta her head one at a time from him pulling on it.
Zhou says in German <"What's the matter friend? Don't recognize an ally?">.
Janice looks back at Zhou and...
Narrator Janice kicks her rifle at the guard who watches it hit his feet. She pulls out her guna and shoots him in the shoulder on his injured side.
Guard#1 screams.
Zhou shakes his head beginning to wonder why he's even here.
Janice runs over and to knock him out.
Melinda can barely stand, she is so worn out.
Guard#1 sees Janice coming and rolls out the way.
Zhou reaches down to pick up the guards gun.
Janice "Damn." stands up with a swoosh. Sees Zhou not doing anything and wonders why he is even here.
Guard#1 reaches for his gun.
Janice cocks her gun on the guard <"Go ahead, make my morning.">
Guard#1 watches as Zhou picks up his gun.
Melinda saw Janice swoosh by the doorway through the tiny jailers window.
Guard#1 watches Zhou with the gun.
Zhou walks over and nonchalantly blows the guards brains all over the floor. "Let's go."
Janice nods and smirks.
Wanda walks up and spits on the guard.
Janice rushes to the doorway and looks at it, tries the lock <"Hurt the girl and you will never find that Jade only I know where it is.">
Guard#2 holds the knife so close to Mel it just barely peirces the skin, not enough to do any damage.
Zhou hurries to Janice's side.
Melinda swallows too hard that the knife cuts a tiny bit into her throat.
Guard#2 whispers in Mel's ear, "Tell them not to come in."
Zhou peers through the window in the door.
Janice <"That or instead of the Jade we will just let you live.">
Zhou is seriously thinking about shoving his hand through the window and pulling the trigger.
Narrator There are two other guards in the room guns drawn.
Janice looks at Wanda and in French, <"Try and find another way in.">
Guard#2 "Leave now and save your friend."
Wanda "Oui" and scurries away.
Janice "Save her from what? Like I said only I know where it is."
Melinda thinks she saw Zhou head peak through the window.
Guard#2 "And only I have a knife to her throat."
Janice notes he has a good point there, "Then what do you wanna do, exchange for me?"
Melinda "Janice no... don't do it!"
Guard#2 "Don't play me for a fool. I know you wouldn't leave that Jade behind at the hotel. I want it!"
Melinda feels her head get yanked back again.
Janice "I also wouldn't be stupid and carry it in here would I?"
Guard#2 "But I would be willing to bet its in the truck."
Janice "Then go look, if you want." looks at Zhou, <"Where's Wanda?"> in Chinese.
Wanda appears out from nowhere on cue, <"There is no way in but there are some other guard down on the other side of the building>" in French.
Janice nods to Wanda who just reappeared, "Mel you okay in there?"
Guard#2 "Not for long if you keep this up".
Janice "What do you want from me? To retrieve the Jade? I can't do that as long as you have her."
Melinda tries to swallow again, "I'm alive. Not sure if I'd say okay."
Janice perks up from the strain in Mel's voice, "What have you done to her!"
Guard#2 "The name is Kreiger and if you think a tart like you scares me you have another thing comings. And you will get me what ever I want."
Melinda feels the man hold the knife closer to her throat.
Janice "If you aren't scared of me then why are you hiding behind a defenseless woman?"
Wanda whispers to Janice, "Get him to open zhe door. We have ze guns."
Melinda starts praying to that lord above again.
Zhou shakes his head. "Talking him down isn't going to work Covington."
Kreiger "We have treated this little lady well but if you stall anymore I will really show her a good time".
Janice whispers to Zhou, "What the hell else can I do they are hurting Mel?" Turns back tot he window she can't quite see in being too short. "Tell me what you want then."
Melinda thinks to herself, 'If I ever get outta this alive, I'm gonna have to get Janice to teach me how to use a gun or something.'
Wanda walks over to the door "I will show you ze good time if you let me in."
Janice pulls Wanda back, "Not now Wanda."
Wanda shushes Janice and moves back to the door and winks at Zhou to come closer too.
Zhou complies.
Janice "Okay that's it, I give up!" Throws her gun on the floor and undoes her belt dropping that to the floor as well, whips off the guards jacket and stands in the doorway "Come out here and get me!"
Wanda begins to shamelessly flirt with them as she takes out her lock pick.
Melinda "Janice no!".
Janice pulls out a cigar and lights it, "I'm waiting."
Wanda thinks "Oh shit". has the door unlocked.
Melinda gets her hair yanked on again.
Janice takes off her own jacket and puts it on the pile with the others and starts to roll up her sleeves. "Come on, I'm right here no weapons."
Wanda looks back at Janice <"I will open the door you handle them."> In French.
Janice nods and looks at Zhou. She cracks her neck and bounces on her heels.
Melinda has her eyes fixed on the door..
Narrator The guards walk towards the door and are surprised when it is jerked open. Wanda takes cover behind the door.
Melinda eyes widen as the door jerks opens..
Janice should never of taken of the lucky jacket managing to hit one in the jaw drawing blood and missing the other completely.
Kreiger is hit in the stomach and buckles over. He looks up to see Mel stomp him on the foot and run out the door.
Melinda dashes as fast as she can outta the door.
Narrator The guard that wasn't hit moves for Zhou.
Melinda leans up against the wall trying to catch her breath.
Narrator The guard that Janice hit swings to hit her back.
Janice glances at Mel as she darts by her all battered and bruised, she sees red.
Wanda grabs Mel and leads her to cover.
Narrator The first guard hits Zhou missing his head and hitting his shoulder. The one attacking Janice misses wildly.
Melinda lets Wanda guide her away, happy to be outta the reach of the guards..
Janice ducks, and parries and bounces on her feet like a boxer and throws a solid punch. She is PISSED and going Xena on their asses.
Guard#1 Grabs his broken jaw.
Janice does a roundhouse kick on his head.
Melinda is sitting on the floor trying to wipe off the blood on her chin with her cuffed hands.
Guard #1 has his neck broken as his head snaps back.
Guard #2 recovers from missing Zhou and grabs him.
Janice is looking around for that bastard Kreiger.
Kreiger is in the room coming out with his gun drawn.
Janice jumps him.
Melinda is wondering what's going on back in the room, but is too weak to move..
Kreiger feels Janice land on top of him.
Guard#2 feels Zhou struggle to get away and manages to hold on. He reaches and grabs a knife from his boot.
Janice smacks Kreiger in the face and grabs his collar pulling him up for another.
Zhou tried to shove the guard against the wall..
Janice is straddling Kreiger.
Kreiger feels his nose bleed and struggles to get away. He is able to pull Janice's hand off his throat but can't get her body off of his.
Melinda hears all the ruckus going on and forces herself onto her feet..
Janice hands slip to his shirt and she holds it for leverage.
Melinda heads back in the direction of the room..
Janice "Oh I will give you a Jade you miserable son-of-a-bitch-mother-fucker!"
Guard#2 feels Zhou move his gun then feels the bullet rip through his side.
Melinda hears Janice cussing up a storm far from the room and gets worried.
Guard#2 slumps over.
Janice Backhands Kreiger.
Kreiger feels his lip bleeding and still cant get out of her grip.
Janice "Who do you work for?!" has his arms pinned under her legs.
Zhou drops the pistol picks up the rifle Janice had earlier.
Kreiger feels his eye split open as Janice hits him again.
Janice puts out two fingers from her fist and holds them over his head, "Tell me or loose an eye!".
Two Guards draw their guns and hold them on Zhou.
Kreiger spit in Janice's face.
Zhou drops the rifle, thinks this is getting to be a familiar position.
Janice poked him in the eye.
Janice but not intending to hurt it. "One more warning."
Kreiger squirms.
Janice "Tell me who you work for."
Zhou sits down, pulls out a pack of cigarettes.
Two Guards laugh at him and train their guns <"You're a cute one>" says one to Zhou.
Janice hears the commotion, <"Drop you guns or Kreiger gets it!"> And she hits him.
Kreiger feels Janice's fist nail him in the face, he has a broken nose now.
Zhou Looks at the guards <"Does it look like I've been doing anything?">
Two Guards hears Janice and is confused.
Melinda peaks in the room. Sees the guards, Zhou and Janice. "Oh no."
Two Guards walk up to Zhou <"We can play that game.">
Janice smirks down at Kreiger, "Hurts don't it, how do you like it? Doesn't feel too hot does it?"
Melinda moves back away from the door quietly and tries to find a gun or something to use to help.
Two Guards, one holds his gun on Zhou the other on Wanda. One looks at Zhou <"You speak French?">.
Zhou <"Nah, haven't you guys heard the rumors recently... Japan's going to be allying with Germany soon. I'm your friend.">.
Janice looks up, "Japanese?" She holds up Kreiger by the throat, <"Move and inch and I can snap his neck faster than you can pull that trigger.">
Two Guards <"Yes but your friend will still die."> Look a ways towards Janice.
Janice <"So the fate of your commander is unimportant? What do you have to say about that Kreige?".
Wanda tosses a gun to Zhou as she hits one in the back.
Melinda notices Janice pile of stuff laying on the floor. She starts to go through them, quietly, to see if her gun is there..
Zhou shakes his head, takes the gun and fires at one..
Melinda didn't see Wanda walk by her and into the room. She finds Janice's gun.
Wanda are surprised and the one Wanda hit was previously winged by Zhou and hit by Janice. He slumps down not dead.
Janice looks up at that other one. And let's go of Kreiger to pull out his gun and use it against the guard.
Narrator The other shoots at Wanda.
Wanda feels the bullet skim her shoulder.
Zhou will fire at the other guard now..
Melinda looks through the door, gun in hand, and spots Wanda. She holds her shaking and tired arms up, wondering if she could actually do this..
Narrator The guard moves as Janice's shot hits his leg. Zhou's shot hits the man in the forehead.
Janice scurries a foot over to the fleeing Kreiger and tries to knocks him out. "Taking you Jules!"
Melinda finches when she hears the guns in the room fired.
Kreiger stands up as Janice tries to hit him.
Zhou is going to wait for Janice to get Kreiger on the ground again.
Kreiger watches Janice's fist sail buy and hits her in the kidneys.
Janice "Oomph!" the fist hit her burned back
Narrator You all hear a shot. It came from Mel.
Janice buckles as and she yelps in pain.
Narrator Janice falls down.
Melinda blinks after she pulls the trigger.
Narrator She killed...
Janice is still holding the gun in her left hand.
Melinda wonders if she's ever going to get outta this place, and drops the gun slumping against the door.
Narrator ....The wall.
Janice looks up hearing the shot and at Mel who is torn up pretty bad.
Kreiger attempts to kick Janice but misses.
Melinda is exhausted physically and mentally.
Guard exiting the toilet stumbles down the hallway trying to pull his pants up holding his gun.
Janice notices the blood on the floor, 'Must be Melinda's.'
Zhou looks up to see another man coming down the hall this one looking otherwise indisposed.
Guard looks up to see Zhou and tries to duck Zhou's shot.
Janice attempts to swipe Kreiger's legs out from under him.
Guard feels the bullet hit him in the shoulder, and he drops his gun. He bends over reaching for the gun with his good arm.
Zhou fires again.
Guard is hit a second time in the leg. He screams in pain and clutches his bare thigh.
Janice spits out with venom, "You're mine Kreiger!"
Guard makes one last attempt at shooting and grabs the gun firing and missing by a mile.
Zhou heads toward the guy now.
Melinda turns white, the room spins, she slides down the door and is once again past out.
Kreiger feels Janice kick her and screams. He lunges at Janice and misses.
Zhou twists around aiming his gun down again.
Guard head is split open as Zhou moves forward and shoots him point blank. Brains now decorate the wall.
Zhou picks up the other gun and heads back to Janice and Kreiger.
Kreiger sees Janice swing at her and watches her miss.
Zhou jogs back down the hall, cocking both guns again as he stops in the doorway watching the scuffle, he raises both weapons and waits.
Melinda is having a nightmare of someone hitting her in the face..
Kreiger swings for Janice's head and misses. He begins to stumble.
Zhou <"Janice, get down."> in Chinese hoping she can hear.
Kreiger rubs the back of this hand on his mouth and turns.
Narrator Janice ducks down as one bullet misses Kreiger and the other hits his leg.
Janice "No! He's mine!" She watches the bullets rip through his flesh.
Kreiger screams and holds his leg.
Zhou raises one gun, but still points the other at Kreiger but he holds.
Kreiger tries to grab for the knife he held on Melinda.
Zhou fires again.
Kreiger feels the same leg get shot.
Zhou "I wouldn't do that if I were you." walks over and kicks the knife awar from the German and watches Janice and keeps one eye on the hall in case more guards show up.
Kreiger looks at Janice who has a funny look on her face.
Janice has a nasty feeling and looks over to Wanda then approaches her.
Melinda wakes up and slowly tries to crawl outta the place to the truck to drive herself back to the hotel.
Janice "Wanda where's Mel?" noticing her wound, "You okay there kiddo?"
Kreiger sits there clutching his bloody leg.
Wanda "She should be here, no?"
Melinda crawls slowly towards any exit she can find feeling horrible.
Janice helps Wanda to the door, "Where is she Wanda?" worried Mel took a beating.
Wanda thinks the only logical solution, "I zink she went towards the truck."
Melinda gets tired and stops to rest up against the wall.
Janice nods to Wanda, "Take care of that bastard, I need him alive." runs off to find Mel, stopping only to grab up all her stuff.
Wanda nods and looks up to Zhou.
Melinda is exhausted again and passes in and out of consciousness.
Wanda "Zhou could you help me with zis thing?" and looks at Kreiger.
Janice follows the tiny bits of blood smeared on the walls.
Melinda is having another nightmare again, leaning up against the wall..
Janice is frantically looking for Mel, supporting a hurt back.
Zhou is trying to drag Kreiger out of the room..
Wanda looks back and nods to Zhou to follow.
Melinda wakes up again, having no idea why she decided to try to get to the truck.
Janice turns down a corridor and sees Mel slumped and she freezes. "Mel?" weakly, she can see her breathing.
Zhou looks to Wanda, "Don't worry about him. I'm got him and he's not going anywhere."
Wanda whispers to Zhou, "When I went to look for another door zhere were more Germans on that zide. We should go the same way we came, no?"
Melinda looks up trying to focus, "Janice?" tries to hold her arms out but can't get her arms apart cause of the cuffs.
Big Rod walks around the hotel with crates of shovels and three tired Greek men.
Janice rushes to Mel when her legs finally work, "You alright kiddo?" choking back a whisper at the sight of her battered face.
Wanda thinks 'I can't believe I would happy to see Rod right now.' She runs to Janice.
Zhou when he sees that Wanda has run ahead of them, kicks Kreiger once.
Melinda looks up, "I hope I don't look like I feel." Tries to smile weakly.
Janice looks at the bruises forming around Mel's wrists from the cuffs, "Don't move." and smirks, "You look horrible." Can't hold the smile and frowns. She looks back at Wanda "Can you get these things off of her?"
Wanda nods "Oui." pulls a handcuff key out of her bosoms.
Melinda would arch her eyebrow if she could, but her face hurts too much.
Wanda looks at Melinda as she bends down "I always come, how do you say? Prepared, no?"
Melinda tries to giggle, "Oh course Wanda."
