(Note: I dont own Gunsmith Cats so please dont sue me or anything
cuz I dont have any money to take. Every character involved are
property of the creator of GSC. Except the characters I create
namely one Jessie Masters. She is my creation and maybe the Villian
and some misc characters I make. Hey you might even see a few 
from other series but they are also the property of their respective
creators and I take no credit. Plus the personality of every char.
in the story are my own view so if you dont think Rally would do
or say anything like i make her say..well tough...I think she would.
'Nuff with the disclaimer...On with the show...)




"Gunshots Heard 'Round Chicago"
Chapter 2 - Bullets and Badges

    Jessie followed closely as Rally entered the rear of the convention 
center. Nervously she looked around, not seeing a single person. This
wasnt at all strange considering that everything was still being put
together. Quickly Rally pushed her lightly against the wall next to her.

    "Hey, watch it ok", Rally whispered.
    "Alright", Jessie whispered in response.

    Looking around the corner, Rally waved Jessie to follow again. Jessie
slowly replied and moved behind Rally. This time she left a little more 
space between her and Rally. Suddenly a voice could be heard in the 
distance.

    "Hey you there, your not supposed to be here", the voiced screamed.

    Rally looked up and saw that it was the smaller, weaselly looking
man that was with the guys she was after. Raising her gun, she fired a
few shots as she dropped onto her side on the ground. Jessie followed
suit but firing and darting in the opposite direction. She quickly ran
for cover behind a large pole, and with fast action, spun around and fired 
at the man, then taking cover again. Rally looked up and saw that one of 
them had hit him, as she heard a small crash. Two more men, both burly and
rather mean looking came out to investigate, only to be greeted with a
gunshot by Jessie. 

    "Jessie, Ill draw their fire while you take them from the side", Rally
yelled in a loud whisper.

    Jessie just replied with a wink and a smile. Rally popped up from her
hiding place and started to fire at the two bewildered men. This gave Jess
ample time to move in behind them. Sliding the gun into her belt, she picked
up a small club from a nearby display. Sneaking up behind them, she lifted
her head up so that Rally could see her clearly and stop firing. Suddenly 
the gunshots ceased, and the men jumped over a ruined display to try and
make it over to the source of the gunfire. Jessie climbed up a pole, and
leapt over and slammed the club over the head of the one closest to her. 
The other retaliated by slapping her to the ground, seeing he stunned her,
he walked over to her and cracked his knuckles while he smiled. Jessie
looked up like a doe in headlights only to see a quick flash of steel and
the mans eyes roll up into the back of his head, then fall to the ground
with a loud thud. Standing behind him, was Rally Vincent, dented folding 
chair in her hand, smiling at Jess then winked at her. She dropped chair
only to hear the sound of Police sirens.

    "Dammit", was all Rally said as she rolled her eyes.

    The police swamped into the building, pointing there revolvers at the
two girls. Then out of nowhere, a voice can be heard.

     "Ah Ms. Vincent, its nice to finally meet you", the voice said.
     "Yeah, who the hell are you", she replied scowling.
     "Detective Hill", the man said as he flipped out his badge.

    The detective stood a good head above Rally, he had short cropped light
brown hair, and dark blue eyes. Though considering he was a lazy detective, 
this being detectives arent much for activity, Hill seemed in pretty good
shape even by Rally's standards. Besides that, he was a walking cliché for
detectives, the trenchcoat, fedora hat, brown suit, and complete with the
toothpick in his mouth.  

     "Nice to meet detective, now whats the meaning of this", Rally said
loudly.
     "You should know the proceedure by now, knowing your contact with the
police", he said.
     "I know but usually they called off the hounds by now", she barked as
she stood straight, folding her arms.
     Looking around, "I see your point, guys stand down, and arrest these
the others."
     "Oh thank you, oh so much", Rally spat sarcastically.
     "Now on to business", Det. Hill said, smirking. 
     "Oh no, there is no business", Rally screamed.
     "Hmm, well you know I could just say you were working with these men
and we caught you in possesion of the stolen guns", the Detective remarked, 
"and you'd just go to jail."

    Then he just looked at her with a twinkle in his eye, and a 'gotcha' 
look on his face. Rally just rolled her eyes and gave in.

     "Fine, you damn snake", she said, "What's the job."

    The detective told her the whole story, about tracking down one of the
countries most notorious gun and drug smugglers down to Chicago. He's running
over the great lakes. His brother is now working with him. Seems the brother 
is the target.

     "Just have to play along, you see, by working one of these gun booths
and getting friendly with his brother", Det. Hill said.
     "Thats it", Rally asked.
     "Now quite, get friendly, work your way in", he replied, "Then leak the 
location of a big shipment that we hear will be coming over the canadian 
border soon, so we can bust him and his brother. That easy."
     "Oh yeah, just a walk in the park", Rally sighed sarcastically.
     "So what's the targets name", Jessie piped in.
     "Joseph Stickner", the detective replied.

    The suddenly information hit Jessica hard. Her eyes widened and her mouth
gaped open. She couldnt believe it, the bailer jumper she was after, was the
brother of the countries top gun/drug smugglers. 

     "Something wrong Jessie", Rally inquired, with a worried look on her
face.
     "Uh nothing, except that the name of the target is the name of the guy I 
have been chasing for the last 2 1/2 weeks", Jessie remarked, still shocked.
