A trail of aching derrières- next time they'll be more thoughtful

[gone_byebye]

The door opens onto an expanse of asphalt, steel, and glass. Nearby a sign reads:

WELCOME TO WHITE FLINT MALL
BEST PRICES IN THE DC AREA

4708 BETHESDA AVENUE
CHEVY CHASE, MD

It's a big parking lot, with the mall itself only visible off in the distance. Ray gives it the squint-eye before turning to the others. "Okay, people," he says. "This is it. Johnny says it's underground. Egon's best estimates indicate three miles down. Are we good?"

K pulls the scanner and flips open the holographic display. And what a difference there is. Alarm systems blinking, infrastructure collapsing all throughout the complex.

He shakes his head. "Not much left anywhere really."

He points. "But if you think you can get through that wall, there should be a way out."

He smiles. "If you think you can do that."

She giggles. "It shouldn't be too difficult so long as it isn't a load-bearing wall. Those are harder to blow up, and if I accidentally manage it, bits of this place will be falling on us, which would be bad. Hmm, let me see." She gives the familiar Look to a twisted wreck that was once a piece of high-end computing equipment, lifting it into the air and then propelling it at the indicated wall. It imbeds itself in said wall fairly deeply.

"Should be no problem then," she comments cheerfully, taking out two bombs. Ffft-woosh-fffffft-boom. The wall has seen better days than this. Ffft-woosh-fffffft-boom. The wall will trouble no one any longer.

"Shall we?" she asks grandly, picking her way among destroyed cubicles to the promised exit.

It is an exit, all right. A lovely, beautiful, bright-shiny exit.

Maybe not to anywhere in Foliage Census or the White Flint Mall, but damn if an exit to Milliways isn't still an exit.
