The now group of four followed her up onto the rooftops. Marlene briefly paused and frowned when he noticed a blood covered and damaged gun. "Heh, sorry about that. I forgot to throw it off with it's owner." Hazel said before kicked the gun off the roof.
Annie opened her mouth to ask about the gun, but got distracted when she heard an explosion just a few blocks away. "Holy shit." She said.
"That your people?" Tess asked Marlene.
"What's left of them." Marlene sighed. "Why do you think I'm turning to you guys?"
"So, why now?" Joel asked.
"We've been quiet. Been planning on leaving the city, but they need a scapegoat. They've been trying to rile us up." Marlene said.
"Looks like they did." Annie said.
"We're trying to defend ourselves." Marlene said, before leading the others through a former window and into the upper floor of an old warehouse. Marlene and Joel walked over to a metal storage unit and pushed it out of the way.
"Hey, how are you holding up?" Tess asked.
"I'll live." Marlene said. As they got out of the warehouse, they all had the stop when they approached a guarded bridge. There were FEDRA guards all over. "Hold up. Soldiers." Marlene said. "The way out is that door over there under the bridge."
"I ain't a big fan of these odds." Joel said.
"We can sneak by them, even though I know that's not your style." Marlene said.
"We'll see how it goes." Tess said. "Let's get moving."
They moved up a flight of stairs and came across some guards. Joel and Annie silently took out the ones that were closest to them, while Tess snuck passed to assassinate the other. There were another two further up that were about to turn around and spot the group, but Hazel took out her bow and shot both of them in the head with arrows.
Annie and Joel moved on ahead of the others and silently eliminated the two guards at the bottom of the stairs. "Nothing beats a killing a couple of guys for some quality father-daughter time." Annie joked as she used a cloth to wipe the blood off her knife.
Marlene limped passed them and pushed the door open. "Go on. Get inside." She said.
"Where are we going, Marlene?" Annie asked as she followed the Firefly queen.
"This way. It's not far now." Marlene said.
"How are you holding up?" Tess asked.
"I'm running on fumes but I'll make it." Marlene said. "The place is right up ahead."
