There was a loud bang as Kate blew a hole through it with an armour-piercing bullet, though this in no way slowed it down. I was now joined by Ilzik a...s we struggled to contain the beast whilst all the Mages now attempted to shoot it, often narrowly missing us and it as the thing was incredibly fast. I’d just avoided one tentacle when another raked down my arm ripping the flesh open despite my armour before Kate finally took it down with a shot to its nervous system.“Dear Lord, add that one to. "So what's it gonna be?" You're right, I'm mad. But I don't want to shoot you," she said."Are you sure? Now's your chance," I prodded her."I'm not mad at you," she said.

In order to keep the sniper from bothering them I popped my head up and dashed the opposite direction, drawing more fire before dropping behind a parked car. Red was on his cell and Cheryl and Mike were shooting at the building across the street, but if the sniper knew what he was doing, he would be gone soon..."Probes are up! I can see him!".
