Adrenaline pulsed through my veins as I let him lead me . He was a step away from the entrance when he turned and pressed his back to the wall . We silently stood there until we heard the cussing from inside . Smiling, I bent forward and pulled my knife out my boots . Michael gave me another weird look before grabbing my waist and pulling me closer to the door . Almost pressed together, we breathed in unison and waited for them to make the first move . Soon, we heard the faint noise of someone coming in our direction . We waited until the last moment . The man turned the corner and almost missed seeing us . On reflex, I slid the knife forward and plunged it in his heart . He took two steps forward, his hands on his gun, but then he almost toppled over giving me access to his throat which I slit with beautiful precision .

"They are not near the door," he whispered keenly into my ears .
"Let's spook them a bit, then," I told him conspiratorially . He let go of my waist and then inched his gun closer to the door . He shot a few warning shots, which seemed to work wonders . I think he even hit someone at the attempt . I might have laughed if I hadn't been in such a precarious situation . "Go!" I barked at him and he broke through the door . I followed soon after, shooting at any hands that peeked out from behind their covers . No one was getting a chance to hit Michael . No one . I suppose he did the same, I never got shot either . The knife dug into my sides as I found a hiding spot . He did the same . Nodding to each other, we followed the visible drops of blood on the floor . We shot at pillars they were closest to . We heard curses and groans of pain . Shot after shot we fired . None of them came out .

Out of mere frustration, I lunged out of my hiding place and sprinted to another shot . From that angle, I could see the feet of people who sunk low and waited for an opportunity to shoot . They were unaware of my movement, but I figured that if I didn't move fast enough I'd get shot at repeatedly . I signalled Michael to shoot a few warning shots, directing him to the right directions . I could see that he was impressed, and I revelled in the proud look in his eyes .
He shot at the damaged windows that shattered on impact . Some sucked it up and kept silent, while others rolled over for cover . I took the opportunity to shoot at them . It seemed like there were too many to handle, and yet we had one more floor to clear . Just as I was about to take another leap of faith and run across the room, I heard the telltale click of the gun . I spun around, confused and then gasped .

"Fuck!" I heard him scream, and cursed myself . Trying not to give much away, I peered around my hiding place and saw that he was trying mercilessly to dispose of the dud fire .
"Are you okay?" I screamed, knowing that there was no use trying to conceal the truth .
"I need a gun," I heard him shout back . That was all it took for chaos to break out . The formerly hidden pansies now came into action and bounced out from different directions . One came from directly behind me, but I shot him before he could get me . I crawled to him after I was sure that none of them was targeting me . I knew for a fact that they would be hounding Michael and taking a shot at him because they knew that he was vulnerable .

The man I had previously killed lay on the cement floor with his mouth hung open . I scrambled to pull out all his ammo . Taking out another gun from my back, I started shooting at anyone who got close?
