Gunshots were heard, sending panic all throughout their bodies; both confused but alert pair of eyes looked for an exit ㅡ a safe one. Another set of gunshots echoed in the hallway, getting closer and closer to the room they were in. All three of them took cover, ducking under the bed and tables, hoping that no stray bullet would hit them. The lights in the whole hospital continued to flicker, making it worse for those who had epileptic seizures.

Shit, Chamber's outside all by himself. But I can't help him. Sabine thought to herself as ideas came to mind after seeing the thin, white curtains of the hospital windows from her peripheral vision. The floor where we're at shouldn't be so high, right? 

"I have a plan."

Katie and John watched the doctor's every move, trying to figure out what her plan was. After seeing her open the windows, figuring out what it was, John's eyes widened, crawling his way to her, stopping her from leaning too far out the windows. "That's too dangerous!" The latter pulled his lover down with his to dodge the bullets that made its way through the walls. "Fuck!" Katie whispered under her breath, tears running down her cheeks.

"But if that's the only way of us safely escaping whatever is happening right nowㅡ" Sabine got interrupted by her lover who used his arm to cover her face from the falling debris of the hospital room. "There's not much time. We'll just have to make a ropeㅡ"

"Or grab one at least."

Chamber decided to back down from shooting, taking cover from behind the walls, noticing the amount of bullets he had. "I'll have to retreat for now." The professional gunman grabbed an in-ear piece and wore it, pressing the button in the middle to request for back-up as he decided to retreat, seeing how dangerous and aggressive they got in a few minutes.

"Okay, we'll send a team right now. Thank you, Chamber." Their second in-command replied in a haste, her alert voice notified the Valorant agents for back-up, eyebrows scrunched together. "Are you injured? Is anyone hurt?"

"Fortunately, I'm not. I will have to check in on her and the others. I will quickly ask for your help if there are any." Sage sighed in relief, asking the agents to be careful on this mission as the people they were going against were Kingdom's soldiers. "No need to worry. We're radiants." Jett giggled, encouraging and reminding everyone how much they were capable of defeating them.

A smile crept its way up Chamber's face, hearing Jett's giggle was enough to lift up his mood despite being relaxed the whole time he was shooting them.

Outside of the hospital, ambulances were all over the place along with the police. Patients were protected by the armed police men who had their equipment and devices in hand.

One of the soldiers kicked the door down but before he could pull the trigger on them, Chamber had aimed his gun, shooting him a second earlier than the man intended to, creating a domino effect, taking the others down with him as well. 

Without a hose nor any equipment in the vicinity that could help them, Sabine quickly took another peek, calculating the height between the floor they were currently in and the cemented parking lot. Wind was blown towards the patients' and policemen's direction as a figure dashed their way to the building, updrafting to the hospital's floor where they heard continuous gunshots. 

"I wouldn't recommend that if I were you." In a second, a girl with white hair tied in a high ponytail came to view, giving the three of them a small smile before dashing inside, helping out a fellow Valorant agent. "Take those three to safety. We'll handle these pests." 

Jett motioned for Chamber to step back before releasing a wind smoke to cover for him, averting the armed men's attention towards her instead. The five customized knives that surrounded her produced a slight ear-piercing sound - as if whistling like the wind before swiftly stabbing them through their heads, catching them off-guard.
