Long Fu discovered two things as he rode in the back of the van. One, the gang he had worked his way into as a cover was more than just normal humans. In fact as far as he could tell, the metas outnumbered the norms by a fair amount. And two, he was in over his head.
The six in the van also included two other prospects like himself named Harmon and William, a pair of Definite metas that called themselves Raig and Panek, and the driver a woman who called herself Rusty. It was a tight fit as they drove for what seemed like foever when Rusty finally spoke up. "This is a real simple job. There's a guy back in the city that makes alot of trouble for us that has a summer home out here. Beautiful spot. You three are going to change that by torching the place."
Panek and Raig grinned at one another.

Long does his best keep his face devoid of emotion. He has a real problem with what's about to happen, but he must not blow his cover. Maybe there will be some way to warn the police, he hopes.
"So, what did this 'ben dan' do to get his house burnt down?"

"Who's Ben Dan?" Raig asked.
" He means the guy who owns the house, dummy." Rusty replied. " He runs with a rival gang and has made alot of trouble for us. Drug runner, used the money to buy this place out here. He's cost us alot, so it's time to pay him back. Don't worry," she glanced at the uneasy newbies in the back," The place is empty, he's in the city . We checked before we left."

"Sorry. It's Chinese. Slang words like that come easier to me. It means idiot or fool."
(Better not say anything else. The more I say the more chance that I get in trouble.)

"Ah." replied Raig.
"We'll be there in ten minutes." Rusty said, clearly the leader. " Everyone got things straight? Harm and Bill get things going and the rest of us make sure no one shows up.Ok?

Long is ready to go as it is. He almost says "Are we there yet?", but he's able to control himself.

They stopped the car on the main road. Harm and Bill were out quickly, two jerry cans from the trunk. As they all walked in the driveway, Panek looked at Long and his prepared stance," Who you supposed to be, Bruce Lee?"
His brother chuckled.
Rusty just watched. She was the highest up the hierarchy Long had met, but he had seen the apparent field leader Deth and his oversized clawed hands, and he had yet to see the secretive Denial, the leader of the gang. He hadn't even seen a picture of him when he had been recruited by the state department's anti-gang task force to infiltrate the known meta gang.

Long ignores the two dimwits completely. He walks up to Rusty. "Where is my position?"

Rusty took a moment before answering. " Go around to the back and keep an eye out for any boats out on the swamp. And steer clear of Raig and Panek, you don't want them taking a dislike to you."

Long takes his position. [Is he in sight of any of the others?] He starts taking a look around to see if there's any way to notify the police. [Are there any other houses within sight? Or maybe some fishermen in a boat?]

From where Long stood, he could see Rusty on one side, though she was paying more attention to the front of the house. Harmon and William were on the otherside, pouring the gas under the veranda and then lit it. With the accelerant, it didn't take long for the tinder dry camp to catch and was going up quick.
There were no boats on the water, and no wires to any of the buildings for power or phones.

With a stony and emotionless face, Long can feel the impotent rage bubbling inside him at his own helplessness. How could he let this happen? He makes a vow to himself that this breach of his own code will not be for nothing. He is going to personally make certain this whole gang is going down with a vengeance.

In no time the building was fully involved. Black smoke was curling into the air. Long knew there would be nothing butashes left in no time when he heard a voice behind him. " what the hell are you doing? " the guy was about Longs age, dressed in sweats. " Allison?" He said in a timid hushed voice as he suddenly ran for the back door and straight into the inferno, screaming out her name, " ALLISON!"
Rusty and Raig looked around the sides of the house towards Long, wondering what the commotion was.

"SHIT!" Long runs after him and tries to give him a knock-out blow and then toss him into the bushes to keep him out of sight. Then Long rushes into the house, keeping his head low and searches the house for anybody else that might be in here. He starts with the bedrooms. [Just in case a roll to attack is necessary: I rolled a 12]

[dice=20+3]
Long tried to stop him, but the guy had too quick a start on him and made it inside despite the camp being an inferno. As Long tried to follow him, the intense heat forced him back. and just in time as theceiling inside let go.
"What the heck are you doing back here, newbie?" Raig asked as he rounded the corner.[rand=8347568115697033855331181625301992700768030226229605894256521905]
