POV: Saber

Suddenly, my ears perk up.

"Shhh," I whisper to Wynter.

"That's what I've been telling you to do!" she whispers back.

"No, I hear something." I respond. I turn around and start to crawl back. I'm pretty sure I saw a flit of red amongst all the grey, but I quickly dismiss that thought. I look down into the room that we came from.

I saw the two guards from before lying in pools of their own blood. One had already succumbed to the blood loss, but the other was still choking on his. I start to crawl further. I know whoever did this was still in the building somewhere.

"Micheal! What are you doing?" I hear Wynter whisper. A sudden intake of breath tells me that she has seen the men on the ground.

As I navigate the maze of passages before me, my finger lands in something wet. I bring my hand up close to my face, and realize that the liquid is blood. I'm on the right track

I turn the fifth corner, and a shuriken drills into the vent right beside my head.

"HOLY SHIT!" I yell, temporarily forgetting where I am. I regain my wits enough to grab the star and throw it back down the duct. I hear a grunt of surprise and pain as I skid down the way I came.

"WYNTER! GIVE ME A WEAPON AND GET THE HELL OUT OF THE VENT!"

A pistol slides towards me from down the shaft, along with a few clips. A Glock. No silencer. Dammit. I clasp the gun and put the clips in my pocket. I only hope I won't have to use it. My hearing and my life depend on it.
