“I
guess that’s to be expected,” the Olympian said. “That’s what
they do.”
“Police
and fire?” Machine Ranger asked.
“Emergency
vehicles are incoming,” Freddie said.
“How
much time?”
“A
couple minutes, tops.”
“Can
you tie them up?”
“I’ve
already shut down traffic signals and jammed traffic—and that
is the only reason you have a couple minutes.”
“Great
job Freddie,” Captain Olympia said. “Anything else you can think
of …”
“Do
it,” the Ranger finished his sentence.
“Absolutely,”
Freddie said. “Will do. And there is … just one more thing.”
“Yeah?”
Machine Ranger sounded impatient. “What’s that, Freddie?”
“A
number of aircraft have breached our airspace outer perimeter.”
“But
you scared them all off before they got too close?”
“That’s
affirmative. We threatened violence, and they turned away.”
“That’s
good news,” Captain Olympia said.
“All
except for one.”
“That’s
bad news.”
“One’s
still incoming?” the Ranger said. “Did you scramble drones?”
“Yes
sir. Our drones have the bogey surrounded. Would you like to shoot
it down?”
“Any
markings on the aircraft, Freddie?” Captain Olympia said.
“Yes
sir, the craft is a helicopter … with tail numbers and insignia
indicating … The Supercity Gazette.”
The
Olympian groaned.
“Spartucus
Finch,” Machine Ranger said. “Okay Freddie … shoot it down.”
“Sir?
Are you sure?”
“Of
course he’s kidding,” Captain Olympia said, shaking his head at
his compatriot. “At least, I hope he is.”
The
Ranger shrugged.
