"Fire in the hole" Sergeant Kay mutters, holding a button in his hand as he covers behind a wall.

He presses the button, loads of debris and rocks falling in consequence, creating a makeshift barricade.

"That's the last one, should at least slow 'em down" he continues.

"Long enough to spot them on the camera" Kolchek comments.

You all walk out of the room and back into the one you were in previously.

"We should reset that tripwire" you suggest to them.

Jason nods and kneels down, Nick helping him, "We've been in some fucked up situations before..."

"Never as fucked as this" Kolchek finishes his sentence.

You back up slightly, allowing the boys to have their moment with each other.

"You know I've always got your back, buddy. Come what may"

You follow them back to the temple, "This is something else" you say, enamoured by all the architecture around you.

"You think?" Jason judges your shoulder with his.

"Wonder how many places like this we've bombed without a second thought?" Nick starts up.

"These relics are better off in the dust"

"What's your problem? These people didn't ask for this war" Kay defends.

"Why are you defending the enemy, Sergeant?" Kolchek steps closer to him, you step back a bit.

"You and me both know they're not all our enemies. Fuck, Jason" he says, sounding slightly disappointed.

"Is this about the girl at the checkpoint?" Your ears perk up, you'd never heard of this... "Shit, Nick. How many times? We thought she had a bomb!"

"It was just a bag of groceries. We fucked up."

"That girls death is getting under your skin, buddy."

"Yes! As a matter of fact, it is!" You try not to get involved, as much as you want to comfort Nick, it's not your place. "Isn't it getting under yours?"

"Mailman Two-One Actual. This is Dropkick. Request update. Over."

Jason's saved by Eric. "Two-One Actual receiving. Cameras are green and the holes have been demolished. Over"

You begin walking through the hallways again.

"Good work, Lieutenant. Sweep through the eastern corridor and be on your guard. Over."

"I hear you. Over and out"

--------------------

You reach the eastern side, "Dropkick, this is Mailman Two-One Actual. Approaching eastern passage. Over"

"I see you" Eric responds.

You wander over to a machine gun and look towards the door opposite, there's bullet holes littering it, "Christ, these doors took a hammering" you draw their attention to it.

"Those things must have come through here in force" Jason walks closer to you. "Whoever manned that weapon took a stand and held them off"

"Before they got massacred from behind" Nick deadpans.

"Those creatures aren't dumb" you comment.

"They're predators. Bet you're bottom dollar if they came this way before, they'd come again" Kolchek speaks what you were thinking.
