"Hold him down." I was strapped into a gurney, they had shackled me and were attempting to sedate me with some kind of ugly looking fluid. At first I thought maybe this was just standard medical stuff (I dunno I haven't been to a doctor in uhhh never), but when they pulled out the magical runes I knew shit was wrong. That and the fact they didn't seem concerned with the broken bones in my leg (I think I broke my thigh bone because holy god the upper part of my leg felt like it was on fire, being strapped down did not help it).
"Is that like something to help with the pain?" The men in the back of the ambulance all seemed to be wearing masks, but more of the variety robbers wear and not of the variety I would expect someone involved in a medical field would have (more about obscuring their face than say protecting themselves from bodily fluids).
"Someone gag him until we get him where we need him." I knew at this point this wasn't something they were doing for my benefit, My hand was partially trapped in the shackle, but I could still grab hold of one of the mens legs and you know what I've always said about personal contact with a necromancer (how did I get around the shackles, uhh magic? Look lets just say shackles no longer concern me...). At first the other three men attempting to sedate me didn't know what happened. One minute I was screaming and fidgeting the next minute the guy with the sedation was a desiccated corpse and the back of the ambulance was on fire (I'm anything if not showy). My attackers now dead or on fire I worked to free myself, first by cutting myself off the gurney, and then secondly getting the key for my shackles from the dead man who had them (thankfully it was the same guy who I stole the life of). I was about to consider jumping out of the back of the ambulance when it suddenly stopped and I was smashed from my sitting position into the back wall.
"Don't even move." The driver had a pistol on me.
"Well that's not exactly possible I'm in an uncomfortable position I'm going to move, besides your pistol is broken it won't fire on me." He looked at the pistol and I blew it up in his face (what can I say I'm a bad man). Exiting the ambulance there was a small crowd gathered (who doesn't like to see a burning car?) well there was a small crowd until it exploded (apparently ambulances contain oxygen tanks under pressure which when exposed to fire explode who knew?) I was kind of surprised by it but thankfully was out of range when it exploded.
At this point I could have just walked away, Morley was only sending men after me as a token effort to kill me. His man had that much in his head, but I didn't exactly want Hanlon to die let alone Morley to kill him, and I knew that Morley's plan above all else might actually work, so I went back to my office got the damned hand of the fire god and sat out to shove it up Morley's ass and pull the trigger until it wouldn't fire anymore. Sadly that didn't happen, best laid plans of ass shooting and all that.
