Part 28
The end of an era.
Into the breach

"Now go right, towards the control room. We're going to shut down their security systems and communications. You'll have the advantage of surprise, but there will definitely be at least two guards there. The pistol is silenced, but that won't prevent shit from exploding when you shoot it, so try to be subtle."

"I've... never shot a gun before," he stammers softly.

"I know. Don't think about it. Just pretend like you're playing a game. These guys all know what they're doing and have made a choice to keep doing it. If you think you can do it, maybe just take a disabling shot instead. Right-side shoulder is a good one. Legs are too unpredictable. You should be close now."

"Yeah, I'm about to open it. Here goes..."

You hear the door open and some gunshots, yelling. When it calms down, the only voices you hear are not Alec. They're talking about one of their own, someone wounded. The sounds are static--the transmitter isn't moving.
