"You think your machine gun can cut through all that metal?" She asked playfully, waiting to see what this new man had planned.

-Vinny/Carson

"Nah, didn't bring the exploding rounds today," Hall joked as Samson walked up. "Think one of these guys can open it?"

"Wouldn't doubt it," Samson replied, walking over to the man Vinny had pointed out. "I gotta take it off, don't I?"

-Take the man's hand off
-Let Samson do it
-Other

"Well you don't expect a lady to get her hands all covered in blood do you?" Vinny said, winking at Samson.

-Vinny

"I wouldn't if the lady hadn't been killing people all night," Samson retorted, picking up an AK from the ground. Holding the hand, he shot the man's wrist, separating the hand and arm. He then walked over and put the hand on the scanner, causing the door to slowly slide open. When the gap was big enough, Samson tossed in a flashbang, waited for it to go off, and quickly entered the room, firing two shots as he headed right.

-Follow him in (3 to the left)
-Go in after Hall
-Watch the group's back
-Other

After you set Raoul down, you see a blank look on his face, as he's either passed out from the blood loss or died from it.

-Check to see which it is
-Move upstairs (5 on your side still)
-Other

One man rushes around a corner but doesn't seem to have his rifle up, while another is close to you and seems to be covering his buddy. Neither man has noticed you, as they seem to be preoccupied with something in the offices.

*Choose which to shoot first
-Wait a few seconds (i.e. see if The Steve wants to kill his man)
-Other

The three men approaching you fire through the corner you're behind, and a round goes through the wall and hits you in the right thigh, bringing you to the ground. Adrenaline's pumping, so you're still able to fire while you're down.

-Start posting or you're dead

Dazed, you feel as if you're being moved around, and you suddenly hit the ground. You can't quite think right, but you feel as if you could get yourself moving if you had to.

-Again, start posting or bite the dust

"Shit. Shit. Shit." murmers Caesar as he attempts to aim his gun. Blood is pouring through his leg, the pain white-hot. He wildly fires a shot and sees one of the men slump over dead. "Good. Now let's see if I can get the others."

Vinny turned around and hid against the wall, making sure no one snuck up behind them once they heard the noise.
She waited till Hall had gone as well, then followed them both, her gun blazing at the Russians.

Carson had run in ahead of you and taken out two of the men to the left, but there's one left that he hasn't gotten yet. Hall and Samson are watching the front and right, respectively, and you're almost directly behind Carson, making the shot risky.

-Take him down
-Let Carson hit him to avoid the chance of friendly fire
-Other

The man you hit goes down, and doesn't get back up. While you wait for the other Russians to close in, you spot a first aid kit on a nearby wall.

-Wait for the two Russians
-Patch yourself up
-Other

Viktor placed Raoul down and saw the pale complexion on his face. It started to scare him a bit on wether or not he was dead. Viktor placed his hand on his neck to try and feel for a pulse.

"Hmm.."

Thinking quickly, Vinny floored herself onto the ground and took a shot between Carson's legs at the last standing Russian. She saw the Russian bend over in pain as the shot went through his stomach. She rolled to the side and got him again.

"You missed one darlin'" She said, standing back up again and adjusting her dress.

[spoielr=Yo]Sorry about the lack of posts, but my internet and parents are both grumpy, and it is sometimes rare that they both allow me use of the Escapist[/spoiler]

The man burst around the corner, shouting something in a language the Steve didn't understand. The Steve, on the other hand, remained calm, smiled a mirthless smile, and stabbed him with one of his long knives

-Vinny

"Yeah, I did that on purpose..." Carson trailed off. Suddenly, a chubby man in a suit burst out of a room from the right, firing wildly with a pistol. You and Carson duck behind Hall, but the bullets only hit the surrounding walls. The last round hits Samson in the left bicep, not even phasing him. He merely glances at his arm, then back at the man, who begins to tremble as he drops the empty pistol. Samson fires a round from the hip that hits the man in the leg, bringing him to the ground.

"Alright, one of you get that bullet out of Sam's arm," Hall began, moving over to the man, "and the other get this fat bastard to sit still. Kruchev, you should know better than to piss me off."

-Tend to Samson's arm
-Move to Kruchev
-Other

You can't feel a pulse, but you know that could mean a few different things. For now, though, he's out of the fight, to say the least. Remembering the fight above you, you rush up the stairs to see two men closer to you covering another two who are approaching the offices.

-Hit the closer two
-Hit the two farther away
-Other

Your knife goes into the man's ribcage and lung, but in his last few moments he tries to raise his rifle and fire.

-Finish him off
-Disarm him and let him bleed out
*Take out the last man far back
-Other

The man by the corner freezes, but tries to raise his rifle at whoever is in front of him.

-Shoot him
-Take out the man covering him
-Other

Vinny frowned as she moved over to Samson, taking a good look at his arm.

"Doesn't look to deep to me, although this might hurt a bit, honey." She said to him, as she rolled up his sleeve.

She squeezed on his arm, ignoring the blood that was pouring out. Eventually the bullet found its way to the opening of the wound and clattered to the ground.

"There we go." She said, ripping off his sleeve and using it as a bandage.

-Vinny

"Thanks. You seem too... nurturing to be in this line of work," Samson commented as Carson put his rifle to Kruchev's head. "I mean, I know ex-Rangers aren't your everyday mobsters, but you seem to belong even less, you know?"

-Continue talking
-Participate in the interrogation
-Other

"I wanted some excitement in my life, this seemed the best path for me." She said, winking playfully.

Dino fired his shotgun at the man who was holding the gun, he dropped din a heap of blood and Dino hid back behind the corner.

"Fuck..."

He blindly fired around the corner and heard a yelp of pain. He peeked around the the man was clutching his arm, Dino quickly finished him off with a shot to the head.

Caesar notices the first aid kit behind him, but decides that now is no time to worry about self preservation. Limping behind cover, he notices one of the Russians trying to flank him. Wsting no time, he fires a dozen bullets in his direction.

-Vinny

"Excitement, huh?" Samson began, ignoring the quiet interrogation behind him. "Well, you picked the right job. Plus it's always nice to have the token hot chick with the group." Right as he finished, Hall drew his pistol and fired a shot. Looking over, you see Kruchev's left foot bleeding.

"Now what the hell did I tell you about lying to me?" Hall asked, aiming at the other foot over the Russian's cries of pain. "Tell me where the money is and I'll kill you quickly."

"Fuck you, American pig," Kruchev moaned, stuck sitting by Carson's rifle.

-Help with the interrogation
-Sit back and watch
-Other

The Russians on this side of the catwalks are all dead, and you see The Steve peeking out from the corner. You two nod at each other, but your focus is turned to the three men still standing on the other side, who seem to be bounding towards someone on the other side of the offices.

-Go help your suspected teammate
-Shoot at the Russians from here
-Other

You hear a body hit the ground, but more footsteps approach you. On the other side of the offices, it seems that The Steve has finished fighting his enemies.

-Call for help
-Wait to get the other Russian nearby
-Other

Vinny leaned her head, wondering if all men were this crude when trying to get information.
Well I don't want to interfere with their fun game. She thought, leaning against a wall and taking a swig from her little hipflask.

-Vinny/Carson

"What, you think I've forgiven what your men did to me or something?" Hall asked. "You can't undo spinal cord damage, so it's already established that you will die. The only difference is if it'll be slow or quick." Kruchev looked up, and an enlightened look appeared on his face as he began laughing. "Didn't think you'd forgotten, but you're not getting out of this one. This isn't Georgia, you're on my turf now."

"It's a lost cause, sir," Samson muttered. "I'll be upstairs helping Vance and Ross search the place. If you two wanna tag along, you can keep what goes in your pockets. There should be plenty here for all of us."

-Stay to watch
-Search the place
-Other

"I think I'll go for a wander myself." Vinny said, leaving the room and heading up the nearest staircase. She decided at least 1 person should keep an eye out for the cops, or more likely, more Russians.

Caesar turns his body to see the other Russian. Quickly, he unloads a stream of bullets into the man's chest.

Carson leaned the rifle against the wall. "Thanks for loaning me the hardware." He says, deciding to use the opportunity to loot the guards, to get a rifle of his own, and some money in his pocket.

-Vinny

Walking outside, you get to the front porch when you hear a gunshot from where Hall and Samson still have Kruchev. Relaxing a little, you notice the low stone walls lining the stairs, the hedges in the courtyard, and the black Humvee in the middle of several Lexus sedans. You glance around a bit until you notice some shuffling in the hedges to your left, as well as what might be whispering.

-Fire into the bushes
-Take cover and challenge whatever's there
-Prepare to ambush whatever's there
-Retreat inside and warn the others
-Other

You empty the magazine into the Russian, and he falls to the ground in a pool of his own blood. Bullets fly over you from down the walkway as the last two must be firing at you.

-Move to shoot back
-Patch yourself up
-Wait to ambush them
-Call for help
-Other

After a second of searching, you hear another yell and another shot from Hall's pistol. You find a decent amount of loot but notice that Vinny has stopped moving and appears to be staring at something.

-Alert the others
-Wait for her to do something
-Go up to her
-Other

With loaded pockets, and a new AK-74U, Carson makes his way up to Vinny, keeping low. "What is it? Cops?" He asks taking cover, back against the porch wall.

Vinny noticed Carson sneak up beside her.

"Not sure honey, just saw those bushes move, could be anything." She said in a low voice, reloading her gun and pacing slowly towards a car, in case she needed cover.

Carson moved uses the porch rail to steady the rifle, looking down the sights toward the bushes, holding fire and waiting.

Vinny got down near the car and grabbed a rock from the floor. Holding her gun at the ready she threw the rock into the bushes, bracing herself.

-Vinny/Carson

"Ah, what the hell?" a man called out, clearly American. "Officer Taylor, Bournewood PD. Was that a rock you threw at me?"

-Keep him talking
-Tell him to come out
-Tell him to leave
-Other

Vinny quickly hid her gun on her boot, and stood up straight.

"I'm so sorry officer, I thought you were a stray animal. I'm terribly allergic to cats." She said, her voice much more feminine then it was before.
She gave Carson a side glance, hoping he would go warn the others.

Carson nodded, staying low, he started back downstairs. As he got closer to two he shouted "Cops!"

-Vinny
"Oh I hear that, I'm allergic to them, too. Oh, hang on a sec." He lifts his right hand up to his ear. "Officer Taylor, First Sergeant. Yes, just checking out a shots fired call. You guys get, uh, Kruchev or something? Cool, I'll just-" Two men shoot their AK's from two moving Suburbans, so Taylor tackles you to the ground. "A little cover?" A deeper shot rings out, and one of the men stops shooting due to a lack of face as the Suburbans stop. "Inside, now! Russians have backup!"

-Run inside
-Try to hold the 9 men off
-Other

-Follow Samson out front
-Stay with Hall
-Other

Vinny ran inside, grabbing the arm of the Police man as she went. She slammed the front door behind them and ran halfway up the stairs.
"Well that was exciting wasn't it Officer." She said, giggling despite herself.
She cleared her throat and calmed down. "Maybe we should keep running? Those men could burst in here at any minute."

Carson checks his ammo before following Samson out into the gun battle.

-Vinny

"Exciting... definitely the word I'd use for that," Taylor replied, breathing heavily. "Come on, up the stairs." As he almost drags you upstairs, you two stop when you see Ross and Vance held hostage by four Russians. One aims at Taylor, another aims at Vance, and the other two kick Ross, breaking the railing and sending him falling to the floor. He lands on his back with a sickening smack, blood pouring from the back of his head.

-Shoot at the Russians
-Risk checking on Ross
-Stay still
-Other

Running after Samson, you two get to the entrance hall. He stops when he hears something break above you, and a man falls off the balcony to the ground on his back. Someone must have knocked him off, but the men from outside are quickly rushing up to the doors. One tries to open it, but a bullet hits the back of his head and he falls to the ground.

-Shoot at the doors
-Check on the downed man
-Try to get the guys upstairs
-Other

"Oh no they didn't." Vinny said to herself, getting angry and pulling both of her guns out of her boots and firing at the russians, making sure they were all down. Ignoring the stunned look from Officer Taylor, she ran to Vance.
"You okay?" She asked.
