"OH NO!" Chris yelled, avoiding bullets going for her head.

"OFFICER DOWN!" repeated Deacon

Everyone stopped, as more bullets came down... faster and faster. They scattered, looking for cover. The chaotic scene could've spooked even the strongest man in the world, for the officers now found themselves one man down, but not out!

"Ahhhh" yelled Tan in pain, as he laid sideways grabbing his left leg. The group had managed to get close to the fence, which now stood only 20 or so feet away. "Ahhhhhhh" he yelled repeatedly, as more blood came gushing out of the wound

"TAN!" Luca called. Everyone went for him, but were stopped as more bullets came down.

"Deacon, Luca!" Hondo called as both officers turned to him, "you and me go with Tan! Y'all get to the fence and-"

"AHHHHHHHHH" yelled Street as a bullet slashed through his arm, "I'M HIT! HELP" yelled Street, holding his right bicep

"Sh*t!" cursed Hondo, "LUCA, CHRIS...WITH STREET, NOW! HICKS, SIR, WE NEED HELP WITH TAN" Hondo yelled as loud as he could

"COMING!" immediately answered Hicks

"WE GOTTA DO SOMETHING!" Max yelled at Whitlock. The young man wasn't sure what to do, but he needed to figure it out soon. One by one the SWAT officers were coming down, and he was the only one that could help. He focused on the one thing he mastered: technology!

Max took out a laser pointer and began pointing it at different spots in the ground, trying to distract the guards. It seemed to work since some of the bullets were dispersing to those areas he flashed.

Deacon had managed to reach Tan, and drag him to the side, right underneath an oak tree. "AAAAAhhhh" he winced in pain, as tears came running down his face. "Deac, please tell her I love her! Give her my letter. "

"No, Tan! We're getting you outta here!" Deacon yelled back, angry, "HONDO!" he called, as the other officer came rushing in.

"TAN!" he called, as he dodged bullets along the way

"Hondo, go! Just go!" Tan pleaded

"What the hell are you saying?! We ain't leaving you!" Hondo answered angrily, as he was able to finally reach them

"Do something Evan!" Max yelled desperately

"AHHHHH" yelled Street clearly in pain, as Chris and Luca both grabbed each side of his waist and guided him to the tree. His arm was now bloodied,  flinging freely from side to side as blood covered most of the side of his body, splashing on to Luca.

"If we don't disarm the fence, we're screwed! The electric shock will fry us up!" he yelled to Whitlock who was still working with the tablet. He moved frantically, as he tried to decipher their next move. They fence behind him let out  loud sounds of 'bzzzzt bzzzt' and small sparks in the pointing edges in the top. The entire thing was connected to the power source of the fortress, so cutting out the power from the main voltage box wasn't much of an option.

The scene was so chaotic, no simulation video game could copy! Bullets were flying everywhere, darkness surrounded the woods, two officers in pain...their plan just went out the window!

"Alright, PLAN B!" yelled Hicks

"What the hell is plan B?" yelled Hondo as he was becoming desperate, listening to the constant yelling from both injured officers.

"CHRIS!? CHRIS! THE LETTER-" Street yelled desperately

"SHUT UP STREET. YOU'RE NOT DYING, ALRIGHT?!!?" Chris cut him off, getting desperate herself, "LUCA!" she yelled as the older officer stopped to look at her, "I THINK IT WENT THROUGH!"  Chris yelled as she tried to get a better view of the wound, which seemed like a tough task itself because Street kept wincing and yelling in pain, moving sideways.
