Snippet #2097227

The fear in Solia's eyes unnerved him, the sound of footsteps drawing near. Adrian readied his gun, keeping his eyes to the door as he moved to the right side wall. "What's out there?" His eyes met her's, keeping his gun trained on the door as he motioned for her to get beside the door. The footsteps drew closer, agonizingly closer as he held his grip steady. He focused on the door, he'd shoot at the first sign of a door opening. His breathing was even, he had to keep calm. Slowly the door started to open; his pulse quickening. Seconds dragged by, the door his only thought. His body shook yet his aim remained steady. Just shoot. Just shoot. The door swung open, a flash of blinding light filled the room as a gasp was the only thing heard as Adrian pulled a man inside. Moments later the light was gone, the door shut again and a man held tightly in Adrian's grip. The man's mouth was covered, the barrel of a gun on the side of his head. He stared at the man, shaking from adrenaline as his grip tightened. He looked to Solia and whispered, trying to hear down the hall as well. "Who the hell is this?" Chatter could be heard in the hall, muffled behind the closed doors and Adrian's racing heart. He glanced over at Solia then back to the man. Several thoughts raced through his head; many questions came to his mind before one finally escaped into words. "Is he military?" His words were shaky, yet his grip was tight as he focused on the door.
