From outside, Dietz heard the loudspeakers activating before the Thief spoke again in a breathy voice.
"Here's what's going down, boppers." Helen's voice came through the air. "Looks like those Nazis didn't appreciate my rendition of 'It's Raining Men.'" She dropped the Lynne Thigpen impression. "You're gonna need a better sense of humor than that to deal with me, Heinrich. People have said I can be a real monster to work with. That hasn't been your experience, has it Heinrich?"
Helen took the smoke grenade out of her purse. From the hall down below, she could hear Dietz shouting.
"Who the fuck is she?" Dietz shouted in German. "What is this Mickey Mouse shit?"
"I was always partial to Looney Tunes as a kid, Heiny." Helen responded in the same language over the PA. "Yes, I can hear you in there. And we'll be talking face to face very soon."
Down in the office, Heinrich Dietz looked around nervously, shining his flashlight for any sign of cameras or microphones in the room. Did she have the room wired or... or was she that near?
"TRY to take me, you fucking thief!" Dietz shouted back at nothing he could see. "FACE ME, DAMMIT!!" Now he looked in the shadows not for cameras, but for her.
"Now, now, patience, Heiny." Helen answered. Mander covered his mouth to snicker at Dietz's new nickname. "You haven't even finished your list of demands, remember? Who knows; we might even give you one of them if it's amusing enough."
"Here's a demand!" He shouted in English. "Go fuck yourself!"
"Now you're getting it, Heiny!" Helen answered gleefully. "Nah, don't bother working on the list anymore. I just wanted to laugh at it, and you're providing plenty already. See, if you'd learned about our country before you came, you'd have heard about me. Heard stories of how I'm supposed to be a witch or a demon; some kind of monster. A sadistic, evil bitch whom none dares oppose because I'll kill them with my magic."
She pulled the pin on the grenade.
"The truth is, I'm something a thousand times worse. I'm like The One Ring; I've destroyed everyone who's ever thought they could take me on but there's always some idiot who thinks 'Those others just weren't man enough, unlike me. I'm the guy who's gonna pull it off!' I'm at least on a par with your typical monkey's paw as far as body count, and people still say they want to fuck me and kill me in the same breath. They don't understand how everyone who crosses me pays the price. They pay it completely; horribly!"
She motioned for Mander to get ready to move and rose to her knees and elbows.
"And with not just a little bit of theatre!"
Helen gave the grenade an underhanded toss at the skylight. She and Mander rolled away as gunfire raked the concrete ceiling in the rough area of their previous position and the grenade continued It's arc down the hole, dropping onto the pile of dummies below. With a pop, the smoke that had been trailing in from the first grenade on the roof grew to a thick fog in moments, filling the skylight and billowing into the night air.
The two of them scampered to a safe position as ACME 2's part of the plan went into effect.
