April 18th

Morning comes and Arrowhead gets up has breakfast and turns on the morning radio. The web comes down and Echo is still laying on the couch. The web can now see that echo is breathing better and some of the wounds are healing. While eating both heroes hear the morning news . The news on the radio and the morning paper give current events of the war but then the broadcaster and paper report this this, " Flash, United automotive plant in downtown had a major fire last night."  " The plant was helping designing tires and engines for the troops. Reports from the police vary between Nazi Sympathizers, miniature toy airplanes with guns, to a man with flaming hands. The police have not officially determined who is at fault but the damage cause will slow production."

At that moment once the paper is down and/or the radio broadcast is finished, there is a gasp as Echo suddenly becomes conscious as if waking up from a nightmare. Confused and disoriented his is trying to get up but then slumps back to the couch with a gasp of pain

"Echo! Take it easy. You're hurt bad," Arrowhead said as he rushed to the couch. "Don't try to move. Can you talk? Do you remember anything?"

[Adminenkainen]

The Web was still stunned by the news on the radio. "A major fire downtown? We were patrolling downtown for hours! How did we miss that...?"

He checked his newspapers from today to find out what time the fire was.

[dspurrier]

The newspaper and radio reports the fire occurred at 3 AM. The radio broadcast does break in with an immediate update, " flash we just uncovered some new evidence. Apparently the police believed that this attack was caused by Nazi Sympathizers and Japenese-american hidden agents. The evening the day before men were observed breaking into the plant. The men had barrels with them. A witness saw one man carrying two heavy barrels at once and the man was not heavily built.

(OOC agent echo is with the web unless he crashed at Arrowhead's) Echo hears the report and for the first time breaks into some tears.

[Adminenkainen]

>(OOC agent echo is with the web unless he crashed at Arrowhead's)

((No, this would all be happening at the Web's house.))

The Web held off on his cynical commentary on the radio broadcast and turned to address Agent Echo. "Are you still in pain?"

[archersix]

Arrowhead listened intently.

[dspurrier]

(assuming arrowhead drove over to the web's house, not sure if the web gave his address...)

Echo stirs from the couch and says, " i could really use the doctors help. Not the hospital but a doctor that i go to, I can give u his address. Is the plant still there or did it burn down? How could I be so reckless and stupid. I should have contact you both for backup."

[Adminenkainen]

John put his hand on Agent Echo's shoulder. "It's okay; I don't think you were yourself. Charlie, we'll get him to his doctor friend in my car. Echo...since it's broad daylight this time, we'd better be more careful and remove your costume first. I'll find you some old clothes of mine we can try to change you into."

((We can change scenes quickly to this doctor friend's address and then continue pumping Echo for information on what happened.))

[dspurrier]

echo accepts the offer and since most of his clothes are shreds anyway he changes. In the meantime our heroes put new band wraps and cloth and replace the bloodied ones. After that echo moves to the back seat and lays down and our heroes drive. As the Web passes by the doctors office, echo says, "no keep going we are going to the science department at the university where you teach at." the web drives to the science building and Echo tells you to go to the lab and find Doctor Meyer." The web has met Doctor/Prof Meyer at the professor institute meetings before but does not know him well.

Going to the lab, Doctor Meyer is there but is teach some students. Doctor Meyer sees Echo face and says to the class," well ladies and gentlemen this will be all for now. I know I said there will be a quiz after this lab but I am feeling generous so i will not test on this lab. See everyone tomorrow"

After class is dismissed , Meyer motions for you to bring Echo inside. Inside in a side room echo is put on a table. Doctor Meyer brings out some tools and an electrical device. Meyer comments, " Echo told me he had some friends and right now he needs some rest and relaxation. He will probably have to stay the rest of the day and by tonight he at least should be healed some of his wounds. Come back later and he should be better as he is in good hands. I am sure you have questions and he and I will answer them later. Besides I probably have a few of my own. "

leaving echo in good hands our heroes have the rest of the day to do as they please otherwise i can skip this till tonight

[Adminenkainen]

"Is there anything you can do stabilize him better right now, Meyer? It's vital we learn who did this to him, where, and how."

[dspurrier]

Doctor Meyer nods and spends a few minutes. He administers some first aid a combination of looks to be rewiring and some chemicals ( morphine). echo becomes conscious and says," doctor Meyer good to see you. Thanks guys for getting me here. " Meyer comments, "take it easy Echo. You need rest but try to answer your friends questions before I give you the sedative and then work to get you better."

Echo sighs and says, " i received a flyer about joining up with this resistance to the war protest group. The meeting was held at a warehouse near pier 45. This was when you two went to San Francisco. When I arrived in my civilian attire I saw that the Dollmaker and a very attractive blond woman who was leading this meeting. The two were promising protest of the war, anti US military involvement and that peace was the answer. The dollmaker and the woman named Krystianna asked for volunteers from the group to help them out with heavy lifting at United Auto plant and each person were to be paid $10. The group was mostly my people, poor or homeless so they got volunteers. I kept my cover and volunteered as well. We then went to the plant and the items were barrels that were filled with gasoline and turpentine. I immediately protested this and broke my cover. Unfortunately the woman was trained and she shot me several times as the dollmaker used his toys and knocked me unconscious. I was then moved and I woke up in the strange house when u guys found me. "

[Adminenkainen]

"Think carefully, Echo...these leaders, did they give any clue as to where we might find them now?"

[archersix]

Charlie was lost in his thoughts. He found it hard to concentrate on the scene before him. His friend was wounded, and terribly by the looks of it. But what was going on with those wires?? Was Echo some kind of robot...some machine? Charlie never had any time for the magazines with the colorful covers he saw at the newsstand. He would glance at them whenever he picked up a copy of 'The Motorcyclist' or 'Race News'. Shiny robots and gaily colored other-world creatures would usually be battling over some scantily clad Earth woman on the covers of those magazines. Is this what Charlie was getting into?

[dspurrier]

Echo thinks for a second and says, " Krystianna seemed business like no real talking. Yes during the last part before I blew my cover I heard the Doll maker told Krystianna that he done what they have asked him, and that his family need to be set free. Krystianna said nothing but when another of the thugs came over she said something to them in German, an order I think because the man saluted her, the usual Nazi solute. Now that I think about it the two other men that worked for her smelled fishy as in from the shipyards. "

[Adminenkainen]

"You did good, Agent Echo. You can rest now..." The Web said.

"Looks like we have a choice of clues to pursue now," he said a minute later, when Echo had closed his eyes. "There's still the Millennium Biltmore Hotel. Or, we check out all the shipyards in the Los Angeles area near where fishing happens. There's got to be, what...at least seven of those?"

"Arrowhead, are you okay...?"
