The door splintered and finally opened. The guard inside was waiting, a gun in one hand, the form of a nude female beside him, a vague shape tied to a radiator across the room.

A hand rose and pulled the gun down. The gun went off as they were tackling the man, and then everything went bad fast.Joel drew his knife across his throat to cut off a scream that had begun, but even he knew it was too late.

Scott scrambled up and made his way to the radiator and began untying the woman there.
