The man walked in, drinking a beer, and staring at his phone. But then he froze when he saw us and stared at us in shock. We stared at him. We stayed like that for a while until he dropped his beer and pulled out a gun.

"Freeze!" He shouted. 

I pulled out my gun and shot his leg. He groaned and fell to the floor. Then he got up and tried to limp away. I shot him again. This time on the back. He fell to the floor and Erica ran at him. He tried getting up but Erica elbowed his back.

Then, the lights around us turned red and an alarm could be heard in the distance. 

"Come on, guys! It's not safe. We need to leave!" She motioned for us to follow her. 

"Wait, couldn't we just use the vent?" Mike asked, he pointed to the vent.

"What can we use to get up there?" Erica seemed annoyed.

"Good point," Mike caught up with us. 

Erica ran through the hallway. When she reached the end of it, she pulled out her tablet. It showed that the nearest exit was at Sector 03. We followed the guidance route.

We made a right. Then, a left. And we went all over the place until we reached Sector 03. It appeared to be some sort of arsenal.  

We saw the word EXIT on top of a door. Erica was about to open it until I heard a voice.

"Stop right there," The voice said. It sounded like a man.

We turned around with our arms raised. Behind us, stood an agent with yellow-lensed glasses. He had a black suit and a pistol (P250) in a hand.

Two more agents wearing combat helmets stood with guns (AUG A3) pointed at us.

"What do you think you're doing?" He asked, walking up to us.

I saw Erica tense up in anger. She leaned on me and whispered, "I'm gonna get him."

I shook my head, "No, that's not a good idea."

"Trust me," Erica said. Then, she launched her self at the agents. Mike and Zoe joined in, so I did to. I pulled out my gun and tried to get a good shot at the agent.

Erica wrapped her legs around the agent's neck. He wringed and writhed. But eventually, he grabbed Erica and judo flipped her. Now I had a clear shot. I tried to pull the trigger but then I ended up on the floor. 

I looked around for my attacker. Turns out, Zoe was attacking one of the agents and had made him run into me.

"Sorry!" She apologized as she punched one of the agents.

 I went to pick up my gun, but the agent with the yellow glasses kicked it away. He picked me up and threw me to a gunrack. It hurt, since the guns were made of pure metal. A gun (UMP-45)  dropped in front of me.

I crawled to it and picked it up. I aimed it at one of the agents and pulled the trigger, but it didn't fire. I looked at it in confusion, then I saw it was on safe. I pushed it to full auto.

"Remember, full auto is very dangerous," My professor once said, "You can even hurt yourself."

The more dangerous, the more effective, I thought.
