Runner

Chapter 2: Infiltrating My Own Home

I surveyed my surroundings from the cover of a billboard. there was a crows nest on a really long pole. a perfect sniper spot. the problem was that there was already a sniper occupying it. i flipped out one of my Flowers (the name of the guns) and shot the sniper with a nonlethal. I raced up the ladder before the guards could hunt me down. I looked through the scope for any specific clues. three of the guards were smokers. I didn't know what brand but i zoomed into the lable and saw that some of the cigars were explosive. one of the guards had a yellowish green stain on it. commonly known as a mustard gas stain. I waited for the three guards to take a smoke break. I shot them with a noticeable bang. five of the guards raced into the smoke room to check what happened. i shot an oil basin that was next to the room. and pop goes the weasel. that left 12 guards and ten of them raced in to check it out. one of which had the mustard gas residue. the guard I shot with the nonlethal came up for a second before i punched his lights right out again. I took a small bottle of vodka he had in his side pocket and drenched my next bullet. I aimed for the mustard gas stained shirt. there were still flames from the basin. I shot him direct stain through the flames. the vodka on the bullet caught on fire and so did the guards shirt. as it burned up the gas residue went into the smoke and filled the air. i took the guards mask that was next to me and put it on. I gagged. it smelled like raw sewage mixed with grease and dinosaur breath. but it was still better than the mustard gas. the other 11 guards slowly fell. When they were all gone I got up and dragged all of the bodies out of the area. there was only one thing I forgot about. The security cams. When i went back inside there was a big, scary... Thing waiting for me. its back was hunched over and had small spikes coming out of it. (well, small compared to him.) It wore nothing but a hood. its arms went down to its feet and its tail was the size of a small building. i immediately tried climbing the tower again to try to jump it. but this thing was apparently also very intelligent. either that or its thought process was "see small creature. SMASH!" When i got up the thing hit and broke the pole. I started to fall but i held onto the railing and right before i hit the ground i jumped off. physics. I landed on the ground next to the billboard. when it turned around from me I raced up its tail and jumped on its head. it started thrashing around and trying to throw me off. the typical response. haven't you ever seen a woman with a spider on her head? I jumped rather then fell. hey, it was one or the other. as I fell I opened fire at its face. four bullets out of five landed inside the things mouth. it fell like a mountain. (wait. do mountains fall?) well, this thing will be a pain in the ass to move right? I decided to leave it there for the time being. shouldn't be too hard with a small vehicle. its not like all this advanced building couldn't have a vehicle. I moved onto the inside to take out the security man.
