JT had exited his loft’s rooftop door and jumped into the rear of Renlo's skycab, slamming the door shut. The skycab was parked on the roof, which was filled with mud, bird feathers, pigeon crap, and clutter. It was not designed for flying cars like the skycab, but Renlo parked there anyways. Renlo was resting with his eyes closed at the wheel when the rear door was slammed. Renlo realized JT had just entered and asked him, “Hmm, Vair to Boss?” JT told him, “Uptown. 818 Olympic.”
The skycab lifted off and Renlo asked, “So, who youz after?”
JT replied, “BMIs”
Renlo was familiar with BMI tech and voiced his opinion, “Notz the BMIs you have to worry about boss. It's the droids.”
JT then told Renlo, “At the moment, my job is to take care of BMIs. Never had a problem with the droidz.”
Renlo replied, “Boss. BMIs are intimidating, but at least they don't take all the jobs and are at least human. Droidz are pure efficiency. They have no souls.”
JT answered in a muffled voice, “Souls. I'm not a priest pal. Just step on it.”
Renlo replied, “Okay, you da’ boss.”
After they flew across the city, they arrived at the location Cella alerted JT. Renlo landed the skycab on the upscale carport (located on Slade's roof). Many skylimos, a flying Porsche, and other flying cars had landed there. Chauffeurs and valets helped people into and out of their flying cars. JT spotted the BMIs as they walked briskly with Remolds towards the valet pickup, located outside lobby. JT yelled at Renlo, “Put it down! Put it down!”
Renlo asked, “You see them?”
JT pointed below at them, “At the valet area. There! There!”
They had started to land in the middle of the other vehicles, when they drew attention from everyone. They were landing in an area where skycars normally don’t land. Grayson looked up and spotted JT. He knew that something was wrong because the skycab was landing in an out of bounds area. Grayson got the attention of the other BMIs, “He's an iCer. Just jack a car. We got to get out of here now.”
Terrack tried to rush his comrades along and yelled, “Move! Move! Move!” Terrack had pushed his way through the crowd towards a skycar that was being dropped off at the valet.
Tosha, still angry over Jagger’s death, offered to take on JT to give them time to get away. She told the others, “He's dead. I'll take him out.”
Tosha pushed through the crowd to confront JT as he exited the skycab. Grayson and Peyton walked on both sides of Slade towards the valet area.
The Valet said, “Sir.”
The valet acknowledged Terrack as he walked up to him. A second valet took a cardkey (used to start cars) from a man dropping off a flying Mercedes. Terrack shoved the first valet into the crowd. The crowd yelled and started to scatter to get out of the way. Terrack snatched the cardkey from the other valets hand and punched him in the face, knocking him out.
Grayson yelled, “Everyone in!”
Tosha continued to head in JT’s direction and she told the others, “He's mine. You go.”
Terrack jumped into the driver’s seat of the stolen Mercedes. Peyton pushed Slade into the back seat and Grayson got in the front passenger’s seat. They had to leave Tosha behind.
Tosha walked quickly up to JT. JT started to draw his gun, but was only able to get it halfway out of his holster when Tosha knocked it out of his hand. Tosha then kicked JT backwards into the skycab. JT fell to the ground as Tosha grabbed a three-foot high, two-inch thick, yellow fiberglass antenna mounted on the back of the skycab, and broke it off. JT ran and tackled Tosha to the ground while she was still holding the antenna. Tosha got up and swiftly struck JT in the shoulder. The impact knocked him back onto the ground.
Tosha screamed, “You killed Jagger!”
JT had started to stand up again when Tosha struck him again. JT tried to get back on his feet several more times, but was knocked down each time he tried. Blood dripped down his face. Tosha told him, “You’re dead, Iceman.”
JT did a leg sweep and knocked Tosha to the ground. JT stood and backed away. He continued to fight back as he got closer to the of top three foot high wall that enclosed landing area. Surface traffic was moving below the high-rise. The people looked like ants and the cars like toys from forty floors up. Tosha and JT continued to fight, working their way towards the three foot protection wall, which was meant to keep people from walking over the edge. Tosha stood up, holding the antenna, and struck JT, knocking him over the wall. JT grabbed onto the top and hung on. Tosha raised the antenna over her head. Tosha yelled, “Die iCer! Die you fracking asshole!”
JT looked angry, like he knew he was about to die, but he wasn't giving up. Out of the blue, Renlo bumped Tosha over the wall using the rear end of the skycab. He was floating in the air when he rotated it in a circle. Renlo's window was down as he yelled at Tosha, “You first.”
Tosha fell over the side of the building screaming loudly. She tumbled to her death and splattered on the sidewalk below.
Renlo moved the skycab so JT could get in. Renlo made JT an offer, “Vride, Boss?”
JT started to climb into the skycab and said, “Renlo, buddy. I didn't know you had it in you, but I'm sure glad you did.”
Renlo replied, “Sorry, boss. The bitch broke my antenna. I got no patience for vandals when they damage my vride”.
JT said, “Sure glad you’re on my side, buddy. Take me to New Hollywood. I have an appointment”.
The other BMIs had gotten away for now. JT looked down towards the ground below as they hovered near the roof. People on the streets below started to crowd as they looked at Tosha’s impression of a road pizza. JT asked, “Cella, please notify the agency that they have a cleanup at this location and that I’ll file a report later.”
Cella said, “Taking care of it JT.”
Renlo flew off towards New Hollywood.
