Toad had resumed exploring until her reached the boundaries of the camp. He did not know what would happen if he went beyond this Atticus bloke's cloaking sphere, and frankly he did not want to find out.
He had come across an old concrete bunker that must not have been used in decades. Toad threw a stone down and heard bones from long dead prisoners spreading from the impact. He could have sworn he still smelled dead bodies in the cold, musty pocket of still air down there.
He finally gave up the expedition when he heard someone approaching. Assuming it was an MP or one of the tight-arsed team members, he stuck his head out just enough to see his visitor. A small hail of stones was coming his way, and they were beginning to glow.
"Fuck."
BOOM
"Bleeding HELL!" he shouted as he jumped away just in time.
*Cassidy laughed almost maniacally, completely oblivious to the open gash in his shoulder from the concrete or stone or whatever the fuck it was he was lying on.
His joy was cut short at the curse. Oops, he did it again. Damn people and getting too fucking close.
He stood up and moved towards the voice, starting slightly. Okay, not what he expected. Though, better a mutant than a guard. He shrugged, only now feeling the throb of pain in his back.*
*His shoulder was really starting to hurt by that point and he reached with the opposite hand around to touch. When his fingers came away tinged with blood he scowled.*
When Katie heard the distant tell-tale roar of an explosion going off, her head jerked up from her work and she had a moment of panic- did she forget about a stray explosive? Did she accidentally set something off? She tore away from the table where she was working, bursting out of the door and following her ears towards the edge of the base.
When she was far enough away, it temporarily assuaged her fear that the explosion was somehow her fault when she realized she had never been to this particular part of camp before. However, her relief was short-lived when she saw a man laying sprawled on the ground in the snow, laughing maniacally. Scrambling through the snow over to him, she leaned over him and exclaimed "What did you do?!"
Katie took a slight hold on his jacket, using her limited bodily strength to help pull him up.
"Where'd you get the bomb?" She asked, eyes narrowed as she crossed her arms over her chest. She doubted Stryker would look kindly her efforts being stolen and used to demolish the base, and she had seen what stood for punishment here.

Watching?
*He then rolled the stone in the palm of his hand and flicked it towards the concrete, letting it explode on impact. It was small, but to the point.*
I am the bomb, sweetie. Walking, talking C-4.
*He took her wrists gently.*
You're gunna damage the leather.
