The Hurricane Heist Page #3

---

Damn it.

Darling, this ZBC stuff is so crufty.

Yeah, that's what made

shutting it down so easy.

Why do they always hire hacks

with so little talent

when they could have us?

Not enough money in it?

Yes.

Yeah, make yourself at home.

- Better check your backup power.

- Yeah, don't tell me what to do.

I'm not saying. I'm just saying.

Oh, boy. It's failed.

Not good.

Now, the job's outsourced

to some local, Breeze Rutledge.

- It's 555...

- Phone's dead.

Sh*t. My cell doesn't have any bars.

Me neither. Right, where is he?

His shop is off of Balm and Garden.

It's called Rutledge Repairs.

Breeze?

All right, Master Sarge, rise and shine!

Come on, Breeze, on your feet.

Get dressed, buddy.

Oh, I was dreaming, Will.

Remember Miss Bishop,

10th-grade biology teacher?

Never did learn much,

but, boy, I was never late.

As I remember it, you had

a keen interest in her biology.

What you doing here, Willie?

There's a hurricane coming,

and it's gonna be a mother.

Some breakfast?

Yeah. They're not mine.

What was her name?

- Jaguar.

- Jaguar.

We are what we are, Willie.

Can't change people.

You sure as sh*t can't change hurricanes.

Well, this hurricane can change

people from alive to dead.

So we gotta go.

Yeah, I've seen them before, brother.

Not like this.

I'm telling you, this is worse than...

The one that killed Dad?

Yeah.

Red Dog, Omaha, 22.

You have good hands.

You always had good hands.

We gotta go.

You wasted a trip, baby bro.

I ain't good at leaving.

And look around, man, 'cause this,

it's my entire life right here.

But you got the cash

and the airplane tickets I sent, right?

Yeah, I got it all right here.

Take your pity somewhere else, please.

You need a fresh start, bro.

I make a fresh start every day, Will.

It's just not so fresh by dark.

Then all's I got to do is

freshen it right back up again.

Breeze, if this storm

is what I think it is,

they ain't ever seen anything like it.

Okay, I'll bite.

But you gonna help me board up

the windows first, ain't you?

You... You got a hammer?

Heard you got phone trouble.

Got a call from a guy named Moreno.

There's no clearance for you here, sir.

Corporal, we placed a T20

for a transponder at Tower Six.

Got a line open.

Have to shift it over from the

source, which is here.

Sir, we're on lockdown due to the storm.

You need special clearance,

which you do not have.

Come on, man.

We're just doing our job here. Let us in.

Sir, this is a federal facility.

I need you to turn this vehicle around

and I need you to turn around now.

Xander.

- Are we in any danger?

- There's been a breach.

You're safe in here.

All this glass is bulletproof.
