A decision is needed
Ok guys, here is a piece. Bear with me as I am using that new software, this is the first piece of work from it. I think its going to let me get more done, it will get better the more I use it.
Bob picked up the phone again and called Gene, asking him to come up to his office, while not happy about the request he said he was on his way. While waiting for him they watched the cameras. The crowd outside was getting bigger and more riled up by the minute. The protesters on the street woefully outnumbered the police forces, they simply could not field enough officers in any one part of the city to make a meaningful difference.
“What’s that?” Christy asked pointing at one of the monitors.
Everyone turned to look at the monitor she was pointing at to see a Humvee sitting far down the block. On top of the truck was a large square on top of it. Bob told Andy to zoom in on it so they could get a better look. As the truck grew in size on the screen the object mounted to the top became clearer.
“It’s an LRAD.” Bob said.
Daniel looked over at him, “What the hell is an LRAD?”
“It’s a sound cannon used for crowd control” Bob said.
“What the hell is a sound cannon going to do?” Christy asked.
“I have a feeling that you get to see in just a minute.” Bob said with a grin.
Gene came to the door looking none too pleased to be back in Bob’s office. He announced his arrival with a loud sigh, it was obvious he did not want to be there. Bob looked up at him with amusement.
“Sorry to wake you Princess.” Bob said
Gene didn’t even crack a smile, he was not amused. “What do you need Bob?”
“How long will generators run the building?” Bob asked.
Gene rubbed his whiskers for a moment thinking, “I think it will run the building for about 36 hours under full load.”
Bob rocked back in his chair putting his hands behind his head, now he was thinking.
“What can we do to extend that time, just in case is needed?” Bob said.
Gene shrugged his shoulders holding his palms out as if the answer was obvious, “reduce the dam load.”
“Well there’s nobody in the building right now but us, was the biggest load we have?” Bob asked.
Gene thought about that for a minute, “I would have to say lighting is the biggest load.”
Bob let out a sigh, “damn turning off all the lights would take forever to do in this building.”
Gene laughed, “you want the lights turned off is that all?”
Bob swiveled his head around look at Gene, “yeah, that’s all.”
“Andy, move your ass in the music computer.” Gene said.
Andy swiveled around the chair and stepped out of the way, Gene flopped his ass in the chair pulled the keyboard out from under the desk, using a side monitor he opened up a program. Once the program loaded he’s will around chair look at Bob, “you want them all off?”
“We should probably keep some minimal lighting on in the building but I would like to have everything visible from the exterior turned off.”
“Okay, all exterior lights and all exterior office lights, that do it for you?”
“How will the cameras really see what’s happening outside once it gets dark?” Daniel asked.
Without looking from the monitors Bob replied, “we have both thermal and IR cameras”, Bob looked over Daniel and grand, “we can see in the dark.”
“Go ahead and turn the lights out Gene.”
Once all the lights were shut off Gene suggested they shut down two of the generators, with no more load than they had running one generator should carry it, though he would have to check the load to ensure can also run the cooling towers and chiller plant. Bob’s on the go take a look and see what they could do to conserve fuel for the generators, there was no telling how long the power would be off.
“Where’s that FBI guy?” Christy asked.
“From the looks of things outside I don’t think he’s coming.” Teague said.
All this time Teague was standing in the corner staying quiet keeping to himself, he was a little nervous at the thought of being in such close proximity to an FBI agent. Daniel and his hot ass girlfriend had no idea what you been up to, he wanted to keep it that way she could. Getting his family involved in his troubles was the last thing he wanted to do. But the war on the streets below them would surely keep the feds away.
“Yeah don’t think ****’s coming.” Bob said.
Christy leaned over to Daniel whispered into his ear, “who’s ****?”.
Daniel turned his head slightly and whispered back, “the FBI agent, Bob calls and ****.”
“Hey Bob, the largest load running in the building right now would have to be the servers and their cooling equipment, you think we should shut them down to since the bank is off-line?” Daniel asked
Before Bob can answer the phone rang, Bob palmed to the phone, “yello”.
“Bob you need to pull up the camera facing the east exit of the parking garage now.” The voice on the other end said.
Bob told Andy which camera to pull up, “why what’s going on?”
“You’ll see in a sec.”
When the video popped up they could see the large security gate on the screen, Bob leaned in tort the screen looking at it and said out loud, more to himself than anyone else, “what the hell is that?”
The voice on the other the phone answer the question for, “they’re using a saw to cut through the gate, some kind of chop saw.”
“Holy ****.”
“Are they cutting their way in?” Daniel asked.
“Sure **** looks like it.” Teague said.
Bob directed his attention back to the phone, “we cannot let them get through the gate.”
“Well what the hell do you want me to do about it?”
“I don’t know, but we have to stop them somehow.”
“Shoot the ****ers.” Teague said.
Everyone in the room turned and looked at Teague, he simply shrugged his shoulders and stared back at them, “what else are you going to do, if they get to the garage they can get into the building.”
Bob looked back to the monitor, “go down and bang on the door seeking to scare them away where watching you on the camera.”
“All right I’ll give it a shot, but if I get shot at I’m shooting back.”
They all watched the figure on the screen move towards the security gate as a steady stream of sparks spilled from it. There was no audio, just the sight of the figure moving towards the gate. He held a 12gauge shotgun up at low ready, when he got it again he banged on the balled fist, and the spark stopped. They watched as the man kicked the gate and it appeared he was shouting at it. Suddenly the security guard jumped ducking his head and pressed himself against the wall beside the security gate. From his actions they can only guess what was happening, he was being shot at.
Bob still had the phone, he could hear the man yelling he could hear what sound like small pops, then he heard and saw on the monitor the phone fall the floor. The security man took half a step away from the wall and began to fire his shotgun in the security gate. In what seemed to be too short of a time span he was reloading the tube on the weapon.
“Andy, give me an outside view of the door now.”
