Landing hard, he buckles his legs to keep them - and the bottles - intact, and hears a clatter over his back.  His ankles and knees already sore, he sets down the bag, pulls out about half a dozen bottles, and hastily soaks the rags before stuffing them in and snatching a lighter.  Over to a large economy A/C shaft, he grabs his pipe and smashes the cover open with a few good blows, kicking it in with his sore but powerful legs.  He scrambles up, back to the bag, before spotting sarge conversing with someone across the street.<br/><br/>"SARGE!" He wails at the top of his lungs.  "IF YOU CAN STEAL US A VAN OR TRUCK OR SOMETHING AND HAVE IT READY, THAT'D SAVE US A LOT OF HELL UP HERE!"<br/><br/>He snatches up two of the bottles, stuffed into his jacket pockets, and slides in, dragging the stepladder with him into the cramped, chilly shaft.  Scrambling furiously, he peers down into vent after vent, searching for humans ((even if he has to slide down a floor)) and finally comes in view of a room with several of them, as well as Collins.  A few turn in panic, one even has a gun - which he hadn't counted on.  "Don't SHOOT!" He flinches a bullet parts the grating and misses his head by inches.  He shuts his eyes, panicked, but doesn't seem to be facing any more hostilites at the moment.  Breaking out the grate cover with one hard kick, he tosses out the stepladder to the soldiers below, backing off further down the shaft to let them move.  "To the roof!" He barks, pulling free both bottles and lighting the ends.  "Collins, get over here!  Once you get up there, start making cocktails to cover our escape.  I'll cover the door with these when you're all almost out." He announces, watching several men having managed to barricade the stairway entrance ((forgive my presumptuousness, but that's a damn good idea given the scenario.  Furs would have poured in and feasted on ten or so guys by now otherwise, I take it?))  "Someone help blondie over there.  HURRY!"<br/><br/>((IS this a good idea?  WILL the humans listen to our hero, despite that his plan will clearly cost them their base in return for their lives?  Well, I have no fucking clue myself, so STAY TUNED!))
