"No weapons?" Arno asked frowning.
"Yes, why do I even need weapons? Look at the three of you? You're armed to the teeth"
Arno shrugged and took out his revolver, this made Bison's eyes widen "Boy is that a five hundred!?
Arno happily lifted it "Yeah! You know how lucky I was to get this!? It's been a dream of mine to own this!"
Bison laughed "Well now I'm a hundred percent sure nothing will survive that comes our way"
Arno nodded then started getting his webbing and kit on. He continued loading the pump action then started loading the four magazines for the Vector, but he heard a silence fell around him and looked up, everyone stood ready to go already "Uh?"
"Hurry up mallcop!" Genevieve said.
"Fok, just a second!" He loaded faster, the small rounds for the Vector was difficult to control once they roll over the table, he struggled to get the 35 round mags full but after a painstaking process he got them filled, then started loading the web belts.
"Oh for Pete's sake! Why didn't you do this last night mall cop!?" Genevieve asked.
"I didn't think of it ok! This is shotgun shells! They're bigger and need space!" Arno yelled in a panic.
He got the belt filled then threw it around his waist, then started filling the next web belt.
"Geez!" Genevieve said sinking her head into her hand.
"Almost done" He said, when the belt was finished, he threw it over his shoulder and tied it around his torso, but then remembered he needed to put on the combat vest first in order to carry the magazines for the Vector. He took the belt off his chest and quickly slipped into the vest.
"Mall cop!"
"I'm sorry man fok!" He yelled zipping up and placing the mags in, threw the web belt over his chest then the pump action over his back.
He went cold when he realised he still needed to put the bag with his extra ammunition on his back before he could sling the shotgun, he sighed "I'm sorry guys" He said taking the pump action off his back, zipped closed the backpack and got it onto his shoulders, then got the pump action over his shoulder and picked up the Vector.
He looked at Genevieve first, who still stood watching him annoyed "Now you know why shotguns are f*****g unpractical"
"I realized"
"You done?" Jade asked him with a smile.
"Yes, sorry mam"
"It's ok, let's go" She said heading to a door just left of the accommodation door, she opened it and the room entered into what looked like a loading bay, in it stood two pickups, but Arno was the only one who found the weird exoskeleton like frame it had around it strange.
"These look like fokkin riot vehicles" He said.
"Yes, they're set up for your protection" Jade smiled.
Arno started having doubts "Listen, what the fok is out there? What kind of predators are their that these vehicles are kitted with a fokkin full scale top spec riot frame!?"
Jade smiled sweetly "As I said, it's confidential for now"
"Uh, I'm starting to think we've all been taken for a poes"
Bison laughed and slapped his shoulder "Relax Sauce, we got enough guns here to start a small war, we'll be ok"
"Yeah, sure" Arno said.
"Now, Rebecca told me you're the one with the advance driving training, so you take the wheel, any suggestions on where your passengers should sit?"
Arno nodded nervously "I need guns on each side of the pickup so Helga you sit next to me and Genevieve directly behind me"
Helga looked at him with her usual blank stare, then smiled "Merci, I'll sit behind you, madamoselle Genevive can sit next to you"
"What de fok!? Why!? And why the intense French accent just now!?" He yelled watching her get into the back seat.
"Got a problem mall cop?" Genevieve smiled.
"No, it's just... Nothing" He said walking around the pickup.
"What's wrong? Is there a problem with our setup? You have a problem with me ketchup boy!?" Genevieve said loudly.
"No! Get in"
Genevieve walked around to his side and grabbed his collar "I had enough of you! Can't stand it that soldiers disobeyed your order!?"
Arno looked down at her as she had a fist full of his vest "I said no dammit!"
"Then why rebel against the idea!? You started your s**t since we met, looking where you shouldn't have looked, then last night in the bar!?"
"I told you I'm sorry! Can't we drop that now!?"
"No! We sort our s**t right here!" She drew a fist back and struck him, Arno went down cussing.
"You fokkin b***h!"
"What's wrong!? Can't stand it when a girl knocks you over!?"
"Fokkiit! I've been taught never to lift my fokkin fist to a woman! But fok that! I'll make a fokkin exception in your case!" He bellowed getting up, as he did he almost slid out of his gear and weapons.
"Bring it Ketchup boy!" She said standing ready.
"Witness the day a security guard opens a can of woopass on a fokkin navy seal!" He bellowed moving in but Helga jumped out of the vehicle and landed between them, she had her hand on Arno's chest and Bison had Genevieve by her arm.
"Enough!" Helga said.
"Let go of me Bison! I'll kill this fucker!" Genevieve said struggling to get free from his grip.
"Would you calm yourself seal! This is unprofessional behavior!" Bison said.
Arno was the only one who calmed down, Genevieve still had her death stare on him "It's obvious military procedure you stupid t**t!" She yelled at him.
"What is!?" He yelled back at her.
"I have a squad assault weapon! I have by my self a massive amount of fire power! You and Helga on the right hand of the vehicle together is more sensible since your weapons do not have the fire power of mine! I'd put up a better fight if I was alone on one side! Putting me behind you was misuse of balanced firepower!"
Arno stood back a step, it made sense "Then fokkin say so before you try to take my fokkin head off! In case you forgot I'm not a fokkin soldier!"
Genevieve glared at him silently, then grunted "You'll be shot, blown up, eaten, trampled, I don't give a f**k what the dangers out there are, you're cannon fodder mall cop"
"Zhat's enough Genevive, it is true we should have suggested zhis to him, zhat's what teams do" Helga said.
"Pff!" Genevieve hissed and drew her arm out of Bison's hand "What ever!" She said getting her gear and climbing into the front passenger seat.
Helga looked at Arno "I suggest asking for tips Tometo sause, you might learn something"
"Aye aye captain" He said angrily getting his gear up as well.
When the four were finally in the pickup Jade came to Arno's side "Now, this is a lift you're standing on, it's going to take you down into the valley, once down two large doors will open... Have the car in reverse by then, if you see anything that might pose a danger you reverse one meter, that will trigger trip pads under the wheels and emergency gates will slam shut in front of you..."
Arno looked at her worried "Emergency gates?"
Jade nodded and smiled "Just for in case ok?"
