Steele's radio crackles.
<"Renegade 1-1, this is Buccaneer 4-7, we are 5 minutes out from the target, over.">
<"Buccaneer, this is Renegade. Danger close, repeat, danger close, over.">
<"Roger that, Renegade. Buccaneer out.">
Steele shouts down the staircase.
"The fighters are five minutes out! Everybody get ready to move! We're going out the back door!"
Boyd fires on targets of opportunity, hitting three or four men.
((Rolls removed for brevity.))
Adriana does the same, racking up about ten kills.
((Again, rolls removed for brevity.))
Steele takes a few potshots, but stops firing after he empties a magazine. Hanton and Fakhr each hit five targets. ((When I have to roll 10 or more d100 in a turn, the rolls will be recorded, but omitted from the post, mainly for brevity, and because it's a colossal asspain to type them all up.))
Soon, a low rumble can be heard in the distance, growing louder by the second.
Two stubby-nosed aircraft fly directly overhead with an ear-splitting roar and drop the bombs stored beneath their wings. A series of massive explosions shake the ground, as much of the street becomes obscured by smoke. Steele and Adriana run down the stairs, Boyd limping quickly behind them. Fakhr and Hanton meet them at the back door. Directly across the street, a narrow alleyway is partially visible. "We make it to there, and we should be home free," Steele says, as he turns the doorknob.
**Steele rolls an 87!**
He rushes out onto the street, and sprints to the alleyway.
**Adriana rolls a 79!**
Adriana follows him, dashing across to the alleyway.
**Boyd rolls a 92!**
Boyd limps across at a breakneck pace.
**Fakhr rolls an 89!**
Fakhr sprints across to the alleyway.
**Hanton rolls a 00!**
Jesse begins to run across the street.
The man with the sniper rifle watched the group cross the street. Three had moved across the street too quickly to risk taking a shot, and where was the sport in shooting a wounded man. The last one, a woman with dark hair, moved quickly as well.
But not quickly enough, the man thought, as he blew Jesse's head off and smiled.
