Coming from the back hallway.

I raise myweapon.

Three men round the corner.

Armed.

Shouting.

I fire.

Jace fires.

The first two drop.

The third dives behind a stack of crates.

Returns fire.

Bullets ricochet off the metal walls.

Sparks.

Noise.

I move left.

Jace moves right.

Flanking.

The guard pops up.

Aims at Jace.

I put two rounds in his head.

He drops.

"Clear," I say.

Jace nods.

We move back toward the exit.

The hallway is empty now.

The girlsare gone.

Safe.

We're almost out when I hear it.

A door slamming.

Footsteps.

Running.
