Patti looked annoyed. Then she let out a long sigh. Patti- "Not keen on late news, but the timing isn't important now. What else do we need to know?"

Joe- "I'm sorry, jeez. Anyhow, that's it. At this point all we can do is conjecture. What do you all think we're going to find when we get there? How do mummies protect themselves? And how do you think we'll fight vampires, if we see any?"

Patti- "I imagine they surround themselves with a small army of demons and maybe even vampires. As for fighting the vampires, my best guess would be immobilize and decapitate."

Stevie- "Yeah, demon dead, ghosts, and weird shit like the arm-things and blood guys... And if the siege was any indication, they can coordinate a mob like that too. But it sounds like they didn't have vampires in Tukwila before, right? I bet those guys are a wild card and won't be part of the mummy bunch..."

Ashley- "Or they are coming just for this event, whatever it may be. There are very few of us for such a task." He remarks, and looks at the others thoughtfully. A handful against a mob of demons hardly seemed fair.
"...I assume we have a fighting chance, but what is our goal? To find out of the mummy is really here?"
Stevie- "Naw... To bag one, just to see if it can be done. And to send 'em a nice ''Fuck you, Chuck."

Vampires. Blood guy. Vampires. Blood. Ben- "Maybe the mummy sent the blood guy to make the blood trail for the vampires to follow to the Columbia Tower?" Though wouldn't that have been more effective if the blood guy had walked toward the tower rather than away from it? Maybe the vampires would've grabbed the blood guy if he'd started out anywhere near them? Though it was during the day, wasn't it? So that shouldn't have been an issue."As for fighting the vampires it seems pretty clear that it's a game of hide and seek. We hide during the night, they hide during the day, and whoever gets found is toast. I wonder how we're going to hide if we need fire to ward off ghosts?"

Patti- "Wait a second, Ben, I think you might be on to something. Maybe he sent the blood creature as bait or payment to the vampires. Either to get them on his side, or to put them in a situation where he could control them."

Ben shrugged. Ben- "Sure. Seems reasonable."

Stevie- "Wow, that's some next level shit, Ben, Patti. You're the occult expert, whaddya think?"
Kyle- "Might as well be. How does the Jansport full of 'insignificant dead things' fit into that theory?"
Becky- "You really must get more specific, Joe."
Joe- "Must I? Let's just assume when we get there it will be a bunch of horrible scary shit that will get way worse if we don't kill it all by sunset."

Ben was becoming a bit more sceptical. Ben- "Kill it all? I thought we were going to avoid fighting everything. Isn't that why we're not packing as many guns? And one of the ways to avoid stuff is to learn how it works. Well, I guess that goes for killing stuff too. For a G.I. Joe you sure don't seem to put much focus on that half of the battle."

Ashley- "I came a little under-prepared for taking on an army. I'll do my best if it's all of them we're taking care of. Best to be extra careful and stick in small groups at the very least if we're going to be searching, and do our best to avoid getting caught by any humans who might think we're monsters." He had to admit, it sounded likely to him that the vampires were being lead to the city to finish off what the mummy had started, but why had the mummy left town? Did he feel that he was done here for some reason? How many of these fake-god bastards are there? More importantly, why didn't he bring garlic? Or more than just two pointy objects with which to kill them with? He supposed they could look in all the buildings to make sure there were no vampires in there. It did not sound promising.

Joe- "Jesus fucking christ. When I said 'get there' I didn't mean Tukwila, as in 'kill everything in the entire fucking city'. I meant when we find the building the mummy is hanging out in, we kill everything in it. Of course subject to improvisation as intelligence changes. And we might not even need guns, if it's just a few demons in the day time. Also it sounds like vampires are totally harmless by day. I expect the worst thing we'll have to fuck with is dark ghosts and the mummy itself."
"Does anyone wanna turn back? Because you just might be able to get back to 403 before night falls completely. Of course this mission is poorly planned half-assed and last minute. We don't have an army. Just some brave idiots with flares and guns. If the mummies move around a lot, but right this minute there's one we can find, isn't that worth a risk?"
Stevie- "Take it easy, dude. I think we all wanna do this. If yer walkin' into a fucked up situation, I think ya have permission to grouse. KnowwhatImean?"
Becky- "How did that song go? G-I-Jooooe..."

Ashley- "I did agree to come and risk my life with the rest of you. I just wish I had known I might need more than some pointed sticks and a handful of bullets." He offers, dryly.
"Well, carry on. We should be systematic unless you have another idea."

Joe- "Use tactics? Obviously I'm too stupid to handle that. Maybe I should go in naked and try to kill the mummy with my dick."

Eventually, someone got Joe to stop digging that hole, and the fighters rounded the westward bend of the highway. Tukwila was in sight, but the mall was still a good hike away. The bicycles made the trip a lot easier than it had been for Joe and Beau on the way out.
They saw smoke coming off the highway in the distance. Some cars were on fire. Becky pointed out some less obvious smoke rising from down in the valley - random fires at different locations around Tukwila.
