It does ,if the place is full of weird mutants or something.
Jeb
Oh hell no ,I ain't about to walk into a spooky lab full of mutants.
Brynn silences him with a look ,then turns to Amy .
Brynn
If there were any threats beyond the usual,they would've told us.
Amy
If you say so.....
Brynn
Stay sharp in there. Remember, rule one is ......
Amy
I know Brynn,you've told me the rules a million times already.
Brynn
Alright,smart,you tell me the rules if you know so much.
Amy
Rule one,no loud noises.
Amy
Rule two, always aim for the head.
Amy
Rule three,if someone gets bit......
Amy trail off, her mouth suddenly dry.Brynn racks the slide to chamber a round ,the harse noise making her flinch .
Brynn
They get put down. No hesitation.
Inside ,the air hangs heavy and cold, pressing down on Amy like fathoms of ice water.She struggles to breathe against the pressure of that silence,the frantic thrum of her heart seeming unbearably loud in this still place.
With trembling hands ,Amy grasps for the reassuring weight of the weapon....
Amy unholster the crossbow, willing her grip to be steady as she lock back the string and slot a bolt into place.
Amy
( I can do this..)
Her boot hits something sticky ,and she looks down to see a dark smear of blood, its edges already scabbed and cracking.
It's everywhere....
Amy
Ughh ..
Amy pauses by the door to a lab, where Cassidy is trying to work the electronic lock.
Cassidy
No joy, must've sealed shut when they lost main power.
Brynn
Then we keep moving. if there's time,we can try again on the way out.
The group moves to follow them,but pause as a flash of movement catches Amy's eye....
Amy
Huh....?
Amy turns ,and see a woman inside the lab , stumbling over to the window! Her lips move, but Amy can't hear her through the thick glass.
