Carson turns, "I'll head upstairs." He shouts before running to the stairs, but slowly walking up, compact AK-74u pointed at the top.

"Fuck it..." Caesar sighs, noticing the pool of blood forming around his leg. Quickly, he dives out of cover, firing bullets straight at the last two Russians, knowing that this could very well be the end.

-Vinny/Carson

"Yeah, I'm fine," Vance said, standing up. "Ross, you still with us, man?"

"He's not moving!" Samson yelled, firing his M4 with one arm and dragging Ross to the hall to his left. "Matt, we could use some help up here." As Carson runs up the stairs, he and Taylor freeze, aiming at each other.

"God I hope you're on our side," Taylor mutters as Vance pushes his pistol down.

"Now's not the time, we gotta move!" he shouts over the gunfire. Surprisingly, the radios click on.

"They've got RPD's, get out of here," Hall radios. "All of you. If they get me, they'll forget about you guys." Two Russians burst in, decked out with heavy combat gear and light machine guns.

-Stay and fight
-Escape the manor
-Hide and try to ambush them
-Other

Both men fall to the ground right after you, bullets riddling their bodies. The farther back one doesn't die instantly, so he manages to shoot someone who had been behind him on some stairs. As the man falls, you recognize him as the Russian from the bar where the Company met. Outside, you hear sirens and cars screeching to a halt.

-Patch yourself up
-Check on the others
-Other

Bullets fly at the remaining Russians, taking them both to the ground. Before the second one dies, he manages to put a burst of bullets into you, knocking you down. Cops begin to swarm into the warehouse.

-Get their attention
-Don't respond and bleed out

With all the Russians finally going down, the last one manages to put a few into Viktor, taking him down. Sirens going off outside, cops enter the warehouse, and they don't look happy.

-Go check on Viktor
-Help Caesar out
-Escape the warehouse
-Lay down your weapons
-Don't respond, thus holding onto your weapons, appearing to be a threat, and getting gunned down

"Oops, time to go." She said, running down a corridor until she reached a window at the end. Vinny went into the nearest room and picked up a chair, throwing it through the window. She cleared the rest of the broken glass out of the frame with her gun.
"Who wants to go first? And don't give me any of that 'ladies' crap." She said.

"Aghh Damnit" said Viktor grasping at the point of impact with his hand. He looked over from his cover and saw the Cops swarming into the Warehouse with bullet proof vests and automatic weapons.

He threw the pistol in his hand away. If the cops saw a Russian with a gun they may shoot him on sight. "Hey over here!" Said Viktor trying to get up, his hands in the air.

-Vinny

Without hesitating, Taylor jumped out the second story window, rolling as he landed. He found cover as the shooting inside stopped, and waved the rest of the group down.

"Alright, now that it's secure," Vance began, "here's where you get the 'ladies' crap. Out the window, I'll watch our backs."

-Climb out
-Protest
-Wait a bit for Carson
-Other

Two officers rush up to you, weapons still on you. Satisfied you're not a threat, one pulls out some QuikClot while the other aims up the stairs.

"Who are you? Do you have an ID or anything?" your medic asks, clearly a woman.

-Point out your wallet
-Say you're from the Company
-Other

"Sure thing." She winked at him, before jumping herself. She rolled as she landed, her dress getting scuffed in the dirt.
"Aw.. I just bought this." She said, dusting herself down.

"I'm with the Company Maam." Said Viktor reaching into his jacket to grab his wallet.

"Hey freeze!" Said the officer still aiming a weapon at him.

"Relax sir. I'm just getting my wallet." said Viktor pulling out the leather wallet and handing it to the Medic.

-Vinny

"Come on, I parked my car over here," Taylor whispered, running off to the road close to where you met Vance and Ross before the assault. As you follow him, you look back to see Vance helping two guys out of the window below where you'd jumped out. He and what looked like Samson began dragging who you figured to be Ross towards the car, as one of them complained about his "fucking Humvee getting shot to shit."

-Run back to help
-Get in the patrol Charger
-Start up a Company vehicle

Taking your wallet, she shoved it in a pouch on her vest as she finished patching you up. After the bleeding stops, she quickly pats you down.

"Is there anyone else in here, your buddies or otherwise?" she asked, the guys near you two still ready to move.

*Answer her however you wish

Carson, cut off from the rest of the group, was forced to open fire and find a different exit, going back down the stairs, into the house.

After a small gunfire exchange, he comes crashing headfirst through a first story window, landing on his back, slowly getting up, looking around.

"Fine with me, honey." Vinny said to Taylor, following him to the car while texting Vance at the same time.
'I'll make sure the police guy doesn't find out who we are, that good?'

"Crap..." Caesar says, running towards the first aid kit. He fumbles with the bandages as he attempts to put them on. Hearing the cops approach, he drops his AK and unsheathes his machete, holding it at the ready.

-Vinny

How many cop first sergeants you know? Lucky he's ours. Speaking of, head to Lucky's

-Tell Taylor where to go
-Ask for more details
-Other

"There you are, let's go!" Samson yelled back, helping another guy drag a third man. The cop and woman got into his patrol car, but across the street you can see some other parked cars.

-Run to start one
-Get in the patrol car
-Relieve a man carrying the down man
-Other

The first man into the room heads off to the left, but stops when you chop down at him. His rifle catches the machete as the next man enters, who swiftly hits your face with the stock of his weapon. The first man kicks you in the groin as he takes your machete, then pushes you to the ground.

"Senior fucking citizen," the second calls out, aiming at your head.

-Try to get your AK
-Surrender
-Other

"There is one guy over there who proably needs more attention then me." Said Viktor pointing to the location of Raoul. "And there's an Italin in here somwhere. If you see him please don't shoot him in the head. The friction may cause the grease in his hair to catch fire."

Carson runs over, helping Samson move the man faster by taking his legs, both men carrying him over to the car.

'Be there as soon as I can.' She texted back before getting into the car with Taylor. "You mind dropping me off near my apartment? I need to change." She said, looking down at her ripped dress.

Caesar lies on the ground, beaten, angry at the situation life has handed him. Almost against his will though, he begins to laugh. "What the fuck are you? Russians? Police?" He notices the men starting to get angry. "Weaklings. Newbies, I'm guessing." He puts his hand over the barrel of the second man's AK. "C'mon, shoot."

His other hand moves slowly towards his own AK.

-Viktor

"As long as he doesn't have a gun, he won't get shot," the medic replies. "But if you meant that guy we passed on the way in, he doesn't look good. They're rushing him to the hospital, though. Okay, they have a stretcher downstairs, so I'll have to drag you down there. Think you can help any?"

-Try to stand
-Let her drag you down
-Other

"Come on, get him in the back," Samson barks, opening the back door. You all lay Ross down on the seat as Vance motions for you to get in with him, so you do as he and Samson get in the front. Vance at the wheel, the car takes off. Furious, Samson punches the dashboard.

-Try to calm him down
-Let him vent
-Other

"Yeah, no problem," Taylor replies, following your directions to the complex. Seeing nothing suspicious, you get out as he rolls down the window. "Want me to wait here, or keep lookout outside your door?"

*Choose where you want him to watch from
-Other

"Oh how cute, he has some Alzheimer's, too," the one aiming at you comments. "In case you couldn't tell by the sirens, large labels on our vests, or uniforms themselves, we're police." The cop you swung at pushes your AK away with his boot and flips you onto your stomach, handcuffing you to where your palms face away from each other. Once he lifts you to your feet, he pats you down and takes anything larger than a pen that could be a weapon.

"Get moving, grandpa," he orders, pushing you to the stairs.

-Comply
-Make the arrest difficult
-Somehow try to escape
-Other

"Police, freeze!" the cops yell as they rush towards your locations in the offices. "Drop your weapons or we will shoot!"

-Surrender
-Run
-Try to fight
-Other

"I'll be fine miss." Said Viktor as he grabbed hold of a box for support and attempted to stand up. He felt a pain in his chest, but he worked through it.

As he stood up the Medic motioned for him to follow and they headed to the stretcher.

Carson decides it's not his place to say anything, he was lucky enough they had let him ride with them. He just looks down, pulling the wad of looted cash out of his pocket, and begins counting.

"Goddamn it..." Caesar sighed, realizing that this was most likely his time. "The least you could do is fix my wound." He chuckled a bit at his situation.

"Well I don't want to seem rude, why don't you come up for a coffee while you wait?" She said, smiling at him and walking slowly up the steps, so he could catch up.

-Viktor

Stumbling, the medic holds you up as you walk, and at the bottom of the stairs two more officers grab your other arm and legs, placing you onto the stretcher. As they roll you to an ambulance, you see another medic pounding on Raoul's chest.

"Breathe, dammit!" he yells, desperately performing CPR on the bloodied man. Feeling a prick in your arm, you see your medic inserting an IV while adding in some morphine, and you feel your pain fading away. You look up to see her smiling as she helps load you into the ambulance.

"You're gonna be okay, so just take it easy," she soothingly tells you. Instinctively, she ducks as gunfire breaks out. "Let's get out of here."

-Talk to her more
-Take a nap
-Other

"Motherfuck!" Samson yells, striking the dashboard more. "We gotta go get him back."

"How?" Vance asked. "We were outgunned, have no idea where they're taking him, and need to get Ross to a hospital." Fuming, Samson took several deep breaths until his breathing slowed.

"We're gonna need the cops to help us here. At least get them to find some Russian strongholds." Turning around, Samson faced you. "You in? Dunno what your business was in there, and I'll kill you if you end up betraying us, but I figure we can trust you so far."

-Help out
-Decline
-Other

"Yeah, that leg looks pretty bad," one cop says, leaning you against a wall. Quickly fixing your bandages while the other covers him, he then pulls you into a fireman's carry and heads downstairs. Several shots ring out, and his guard shoots towards where The Steve was. "Cover me, assholes!"

-Mention he's on your side
-Just worry about getting out of there
-Other

"Alright," Taylor agrees, smiling at the fact an attractive woman invited him in for some coffee. "Sure sounds like you guys have had some fun, tonight. Radio's been buzzing with shootouts all over, especially that one at some warehouse. You been with these guys long?"

-Talk for a while
-Talk a bit then go change
-Other

Upon hearing the cops, Dino turns and fires at the nearest one, knocking him to the ground. The man behind him opens up, so Dino dives to the ground, cigarette falling out of his mouth. The Steve takes the chance to shoot his AKS's, forcing the cops to fall back. As Dino rolls to get another shot, his hair hits the smoldering cigarette, igniting it. Standing up to get his jacket off and smother the fire, Dino gets shot by the cop he hit, who had drawn his sidearm. Dino falls to the ground, hair still ablaze.

The Steve turns and runs, shooting out a window and jumping out onto the balcony. Dropping the empty AKS's, he jumps to a fire escape on another building as the cops fire, hitting his right leg twice. Drawing a pistol, The Steve fires at the cops as he stumbles up to the roof. He freezes when he sees an average-looking Russian holding a .357 magnum.

"This will be message to Company," he begins, "as retaliation for what happened tonight. Mafiya doesn't take this laying down." The man quickly fires from the hip, hitting The Steve in the stomach. As he falls, The Steve fires twice, but hits the man in the shoulder once. Hearing the cops coming up the fire escape, he drops an envelope on The Steve's body and runs off across the rooftops.

-Goodbye, gentlemen

Carson thinks a moment, before nodding. "Yeah, I'm in."

"When do you think I'll get my one phone call?" he asked the cop carrying him. "Also... What's your name? Derek, I'm guessing."

"Long enough." She said, leaving her bedroom door open as she picked out a new outfit. "So you're an officer hmm? That must be pretty exciting too."

-Carson

Samson nods back, then turns to Vance.

"Drop me and Ross off at the hospital, and you two get to the station. Our guys should get you in to hunt down some safehouses, so just work with them. I'll keep an eye on this guy, alright?"

"Wilco," Vance replied, taking some more turns. Finally pulling over at the hospital, Samson got out, flashed some kind of badge, and helped two nurses get Ross onto a gurney. "You stayin' back there?"

-Stay in the back seat
-Move to the front
-Other

"That'll probably be a little after we've made sure your leg won't bleed anymore," the cop answered, lowering you onto a gurney. "And Kate's doing fine, still pretty," he pulled back his balaclava to show he's Officer Holden, "but she doesn't like you guys dragging us into all these shootouts."

-Joke back
-Ask about the others
-Other

"Not as exciting as you'd think," Taylor replied, sipping his coffee in the living room. "I've fired more shots tonight than I have this whole first year. Mostly I just do traffic tickets, but there's the occasional drug bust or domestic dispute. Crazy people out there." You hear him pull out his pistol's magazine, fumble around a bit, and reload, but he's clearly not trying to hide the sound. "Gotta love these USP's."

-Talk about your own guns
-Try to reach another member of the Company
-Change in silence
-Other

Carson tosses his AK-74U into the front seat before getting out, and back in through the passenger side door.

"So who exactly are you guys anyway?"

"All changed." Vinny smiled as she leaned around the doorway. She had changed into a sleevless turtleneck jumper and plain black trousers.
"Well I'm gonna head over to Lucky's, feel like tagging along?" She stayed leaning against the doorframe.

-Carson

"We're the Company," he began, driving towards the police station. "All the members before a few days ago are from an Army Ranger company, so we decided to put our skills to good use in the real world. The goal is to overall make this city a better place, it's the Captain's hometown. We're working with cops and getting our money by bringing down other criminals, like the Russian Mob and Yakuza, anyone around here just out to fuck the place up. What we do is still illegal, but we want the people here to accept what we're doing, so it means being pretty careful.

"Cops are paid to look the other way, or even help, but we gotta stay below the Feds' radar, or they'll come after us, and we really don't want to hurt the government. Tonight, we've been raiding some Russian safehouses and operations, and they're hitting back. That man in the wheelchair they took... that was Captain Hall. Old, pissed off guy we just dropped off was First Sergeant, senior NCO in the company when we were still Rangers, so now he's Hall's bodyguard. Tough as nails, too."

-Ask about operations
-Ask about personnel
-Ask about police involvement
-Other

"Hmm, drive the pretty lady to where she's going, or let her go off on her own?" Taylor joked, holstering his USP in its drop-down holster. "Yeah, I'll go with ya." Leading the way out and downstairs, his radio clicked on. "This is Taylor. Yeah, still with a Company member. No, she's conscious, why? Where? Yeah, I'll go get it." Lowering his hand, he turned back to you as he walked. "Shootout at some warehouse, guy they think is Company got executed by who they think was a Russian and he left an envelope. Wanna come with me to pick it up?"

-Go with him
-Go to Lucky's and have him bring it back
-Other

"Sure, I've got plenty of time." Vinny said. They walked down the stairs outside her apartment and got back in the car.

"Let me get this straight.. You have a free pass to loot, raid, and rob, AND the cops help you out? Why the hell didn't I hear about this sooner?"

-Carson

"Well, we had to do that stuff in order to pay for the free pass," Vance explained, "and like I said, it just used to be us ex-Rangers. We only recently started accepting outsiders, so most news about us to the underworld was that we're gonna fuck it up. As long as we don't hurt civilians, they don't seem to mind what we do." Vance pulled the car into the parking lot and shut it off. "You coming inside?"

-Watch the car
-Keep a lookout out front
-Go inside with Vance
-Other

As you get in the car, you notice the door feels much heavier than normal car doors. Once you're in, Taylor stops to chat with your hobo friend for a second. He gets his wallet out and hands the man a few bills, then gets into the car and heads to the warehouse with you.

"God, I have no idea what's going on around here, with you and the Russians," he begins, "but I get the feeling there's gonna be a lot more shooting tonight. Once we get to that warehouse, I'm throwing on my vest in the trunk and carrying my little Benelli here around." He points at the semi-auto shotgun sitting between you two. "You gonna need anything else tonight?"

-Mention reason for going to Lucky's
-Ask to stop somewhere else real quick
-Change the subject
-Other

"Oh, fuck... Am I glad to see you." sighed Caesar in relief. "Let's get out of this mess."

Viktor laid his head back as the Ambulance moved. His head rocked back and forth as the car bounced over cracks in the road. He layed his head back and closed his eyes. He thought about tonight and how it went. He thought about the men he killed,the friends he lost and the bullet in his chest. Eventually he stopped thinking for a little while and drifted off into sleep.
