Cross Wars Page #4

---

With Guinevere and everyone.

- She's pretty hot.

- Yeah, she is hot.

Stop. Both of you.

Just saying.

No.

- Yeah?

- Is this line secure?

I found something

you'll definitely be interested in.

All right. I'll be there in 15.

Don't be late.

That was the snitch...

and he has some intel.

So I'll be back.

Watch your back.

Off so soon?

You just got here. We didn't even

get a chance to netflix and chill.

- I make a mean guac.

- God.

Hey-

heard some bums

got beat up pretty bad.

Beat up? They're in multiple pieces.

I don't think "beat up" covers it.

Did you get any DNA evidence

off the confiscated items?

- There's gonna be trouble with that.

- What trouble?

Well, when I came back

from upstairs, stuff was missing.

Missing?

What do you mean, missing?

Well, I came back and it was all gone.

No idea what happened.

No one has a key to get in here.

What exactly is missing?

Well, everything. All of it.

Every item is missing.

Nothing left

but belly lint and blood.

Have any idea who took it?

The snitch.

- The snitch?

- Yeah. Right under our noses.

Had to be someone

with inside contacts.

Some law-breaking worthless bastard.

- Yeah.

- The snitch.

Callan. Right on time.

- Hello?

- You ready?

- Yeah.

- How's your team?

Ready to rock.

I got the intel. Multiple threats.

Roger that. We'll be ready.

We'll be there in a few. Okay?

- Callan, i...

- Stay sharp.

Be ready for anything.

Okay. I'll see you in a few.

- You okay?

- What'd he say'?

- To be ready.

- Oh, we're ready.

The question is...

- are you?

- What's that supposed to mean?

You can handle yourself in a fight.

But handling your feelings for Callan

is a whole different story.

I'll be fine.

That's what you said last time.

And then he almost died.

Yeah. He recovered. You didn't.

Girls, listen. I'll be fine.

All right, I've loaded the mags

and prepped your weapons.

Ladies, make me proud.

Cold hard steel.

Sexiest way to get a man's attention.

- Gunnar's back.

- What?

He died on the roof. I was there.

- Did you see him?

- No.

- Explain, please.

- Ls this based on science...

fact, or merely

one of your rumors on the street?

What the...?

He...

He chopped up

these homeless guys downtown.

Trusted intel?

Snitch.

That's impossible.

We blew him into a million pieces.

- They couldn't even identify him.

- You know...

Gunnar told erlik that he'd been around

for thousands of years.

I heard about that.

It's some type of curse, right?

That he's gonna live forever...

or until everyone dies.

But, you guys...

- I mean, we're still alive, so...

- My cross...

gave him everything it had.

It took, like, a week to recharge.

Then we'll have to

find another way to stop him.

Okay, nuke. What do you have?

I probably have something

i can modify. I...

It'll take some work.

Give me a little bit of time.

- We don't have any time.

- We don't have any time at all.

Just think of some lightning

and thunder and mix it up...

Guys, guys, I'll figure it out.

I always do.

In the meantime, you go kick him,

shoot him, thump him and pound him.

- Thump him?

- Do what you do.

Just don't kill him.

He's gotta be working with muerte.

I mean, it's his normal m.O.

Callan.

Hang tight. All right? See you in a bit.

Pretty impressive.

Right on time.

Welcome back

to the temporary land of the living.

You look great

for someone who's been dead forever.

Moisturizer.

Right on time, my friend. You're good.

Yeah, it's not my first rodeo.

Is it nearly ready?

Rome wasn't built in a day. You know?

It took a lot longer than that.

Those were the days, huh?

Did you follow my instructions?

Absolutely.

And muerte?

As we speak, I'm working on it.

We'll give him his cash.

But he won't be able to spend it.

Poorohap.

He doesn't know he's gonna die tonight.

Did you get everything you needed?

I got all the elements.

All we need is more power.

We'll have more power

than you ever thought of.

Last time

it didn't go the way we planned.

But you're lucky you have me,

and I have plan b.

I see you've been living like a king.

Like an American president.

Fast cars, fast girls. Lots of money.

Thanks for the bank card.

And all this just from one little machine.

This little machine.

This little machine creates a swarm

of free-flying quarks.

And do I look like the kind of guy

that reads up on flying quarks?

Did you hear what I said?

Free-flying quarks?

I don't care as long as we can

kill everybody and I can finally die.

How long will it take?

Not long, my friend.

Every atom in the universe

will be destroyed.

And you're willing to end it all

for one peek of the end?

It's actually a peek of beginning.

Now get this machine working.

I'm on it.

Look out!

Get them!

Behind you!

Behind you, look out!

The boss wants to see you unharmed.

Lucky for you.

- Riley!

- I got her.

They took Riley.

Hey, did Callan say

when he was gonna call?

No. It's like watching grass grow.

I look, nothing.

I look again, still nothing.

You know, I kind of enjoy the downtime.

You know? I needed this break.

The snacks too.

You know I love my snacks.

Yeah, well...

l'll be glad...

when we're slinging hot lead

back down range again.

Ready, pizzle-fire?

Because hell's coming.

Yeah, Gunnar's

a different kind of animal.

Can't kill him.

I'm not worried.

Just, he's just gonna die and reincarnate.

Or some freaky sh*t.

I'm ready.

You don't understand.

It's like pulling a weed.

It just comes right back.

We're in luck. I have weed killer.

- You okay?

- L'll live.

Riley said they were coming,

and we completely blew it off.

They ambushed us. We weren't ready,

and now they have Riley.

- L'll get her back.

- We. We will get her back.

- She's our girl. You're not in this alone.

- Yeah.

We're helping.

Let's do it.

Go.

Let's get our girl.

- Will Callan save Riley?

- I hope so.

They make a pretty good team.

Look at you.

You brought a pretty penny.

All that money.

For you...

and this amulet.

- Get your hands off me.

- Hey!

Better save that energy, honey.

I understand

you're going to quite the party.

Take her to Gunnar.

And bring back our money.

Oh, yeah.

Don't forget this.

Things are starting to get interesting.

Gunnar's gonna enjoy you.

Won't be long, now.

Almost ready to be tested.

The bait will be here soon

and Callan will come running.

You have special hate for that guy.

- I like it.

- I wasn't always in the hating game.

First thousand years I lived to love.

It was the second thousand years

i lived to hate.

Done. It's ready.

Well, let's see a sample.

Ready?

- Yep.

Good. Very good.

Now let's see its potential.

Will that machine

destroy the whole world?

That machine is gonna destroy

the whole universe and everything in it.

Yeah.

Okay, don't worry. I'll take care of it.

All right.

Ladies and gentlemen, get ready.

It's time to go to work.

So get all your weapons together.

It's gonna be a long night.
