It is an hour of sweaty work before the workers get down to the last few crates. As most of them have been carrying the crates down to the trucks a few have been hoisting the cargo up and stacking it in the trucks. It has occurred to Merrin and Bart that if all three trucks are filled with crates that the workers aren't going to have a ride out of here...maybe they can squeeze in, but otherwise they are going to have walk out.

Bart notes that the workers have been watching him as much as he is watching them as they move in and out of the cargo hold. Perhaps, that is a good thing. If they are paying attention to the man with the sword and pistol they might be less likely to try any pilfering...and they haven't so far.

As a group of three are lifting the third to the last crate, though, there is an incident. One of the workers, a woman, has the crate slip out of her gloved hands. The other three workers try to balance it, but fail and the crate crashes down with a loud thud atop the fallen worker and cracks open.

Packing material flies up from the broken crate, the woman lets out a scream, and workers scramble around the crate. Mirren's view of the accident is partially blocked by Killian, and the excelsior and scrambling workers make it hard for Bart to see exactly what is happening there either.

OOC: Des, you are still there...don't leave yet. :)
