PufferfishYou stuff the revolver in the inner pocket of your overcoat and glance at the boy. He can't be more than ten years old. You wonder whether or not he might have any friends around while creeping towards the front desk. Probably not, you decide as you peek over the counter, spotting the elevator against the wall and the staircase access against the wall. If there were more the boy would have sounded the alarm rather than take you on alone, but then again you could be wrong.
You sit down, leaning against the front of the desk, and finally take the time to look down at the hole your shoulder. It doesn't bleed, and you don't feel any pain when you stick your fingers into the shallow wound and dig out the flattened slug. You shrug your overcoat partway off and find your skin unbroken. Apparently Terrence is bulletproof. You chuckle in surprise and relief. This just keeps getting better!
gman8181Waters nods.
Already done Sarge. Its clear. You voice your thanks and start moving the team towards the clinic. Luckily most of the buildings facing one side of the street are ruined, providing ample cover and shadows to keep the squad safely concealed as you lead them through.
It isn't long before you encounter a patrol, a pair of ragged civilians, likely belonging to the clinic you were moving to investigate. They move down the opposite side of the street without making any effort to hide themselves, conversing in low voices and cradling hunting rifles. Apparently they don't encounter much resistance around this part of town and as a result they've let their guard down. You could bypass them easily, though they could become a problem if you need to fall back in a hurry, as your retreat would be cut off. They come to a stop, now directly across the street from you and you hear a low crackle as one of them holds a hand radio to his mouth. They don't seem to have noticed you.
SomeStupidGuyYou bring your legs closer, pushing yourself halfway up against the wall, hollering and swinging your pick wildly in front of you. You feel the tip of the pick glance off of something hard and the monster in the dark hisses unnaturally. You feel sharp jaws clamp down on your calf. You scream and something hot and wet pours down your leg, soaking your trousers.
