The Dark Times

The Apartment (chapter 2)

I grabbed my cold signature detector and turned it on, hearing the machine come to life, with only slow beeps to show nothing. I continue to walk around trying to find something, anything. I walk up a flight of stairs to the second floor. The beeping speeds up and I enter the door that leads to an empty hallway. The beeping goes faster and faster and faster until it stops in front of room 7b. I grab my gun from my satchel and point it at the door. I hesitate a little before opening the door only to see. ... Nothing. The room was completely empty. The detector was still reading that it was in this room. I think about it for a minute. I face Palm my self. Duhh the next floor how stupid can I be. I walk down the hallway and silently up the next flight, watching every step carefully. I hold the gun promptly in my hands as I ocrack the door to the third floor open and peek through. There are at least 5 of them in the hallway. I quickly duck and roll to an open door. I bumped into a hamper cart and an idea popped in my head. I grabbed my second gun and jump in the cart. I reloaded them just In case and pushed the cart out the door aiming and firing at two of them. It automatically reloaded and i shot at another one But missed the other. I reload again but i jump off the cart before it hits the wall. I'm completely cornered against a huge window that outlooks a small allyway. I quickly shoot the window and jump out,  shards off glass following behind. I land on a dumpster with a bang, my arms holding me up before my face smashed into the plastic of the dumpster. I groan as i push myself up slowely.

Ashley's POV:

I wake up to a loud bang on the lid of our dumpster. My heart is racing, I look towards Emilia who is still fast asleep, and shake her awake "get up!!" I whisper. She murmurs to herself  and oe eyelid blinks open. "what!!" she says, obviously grumpy from her unexpected wake. i shush her and point to the lid "someones up there.."i whisper. We hear a groan and Emilia's eyes widen. I signal for Emilia to , on my cue , to push the lid up. I yell "now!" And me and Emilia pushed it up knocking whoever it was off and onto the cement. It's a girl in purple. She's hurt badly and unconscience. Emilia jumps out and helps me out also. "Let's raid her!" She yells excitedly. "No that's not right she's hurt and by the looks of it she's not one of Pao's . I think we should help her."
