Snippet #2537382

He cutched the knife in his hand and threw his chain over his shoulder as he walked to the entrance of the Jacob and Medley offices. For a moment he looked in the window to make sure he himself would not be ambushed. He decided that it was safe enough and entered. From the looks of it someone had definitely been here.

Will was sitting towards the back of the building, resting when he heard the sound of the door click open.‘ Shit.’ He moved to a crouched position, straining his ears for the sound of movement.From the sounds of it, the guy or who ever had a chain at least.

He shuffled around the room looking for a sign or trail of the person who was within the building. He saw a few phone books destroyed and cut apart, as well as a few filing cabinet torn apart there metal plates stripped. He found this curious as he muttered “Maybe they made a weapon or something?” He shook it off as he went back to looking for whoever had occupied the building. He walked down a nearby hallway his heavy boots and dragging chain making quite audible noises as he moved.
‘There moving...’ Will started to move making sure he was quiet, in a crouch it was awkward, he made sure the heel of his boot as firmly against the ground before he shifted his weight making very little noise as he could. However the rain jacket they were give made that all too familiar hiss sound when he shifted. ‘God… I hope that chain drowns out that sound’ He moved in an opposite circle from the sounds of the boots , keeping himself and the shovel lower than the cubicle’s walls. ‘ Heavy boots...sounds like they are about my size….’ Will could hear his heart pounding away in his ears, he was surprised that sound didn’t give him away as silly as that thought was.

“I heard that” He said as he heard the faintest sound in the distance. An all too familiar smile formed at the edge of his lips. He moved more fervently down the hall the sound of his boots becoming heavier and heavier. “I’d start running… whoever you are. It’s better when they run.” He swung the hook of his chain into the wall breaking a small amount of drywall.
Will kept the same rhythm with his steps even when the guy had started talking, he might think it was just some sound in the building. Externally he didn’t seem spooked, he moved carefully as always moving closer to the door and windows. The smack of the chain hitting the wall echoed through out the little law firm. ‘ This guy likes to fuck with people before he kills them...’ He gripped the shovel tighter making sure it didn’t drag along anything as he moved. God this sucked… Never before now had he wished he had a gun more than he did now. Fear had quietly settled in the base of his stomach. He had to either bug out or fight, that chain would be hard to effectively swing in this tight area…. Then again so would large swings with his shovel. He’d have to use it more like a spear or a hatchet. The boot steps got closer and he got further.

He started to practically run down the hallway now as his boots made a continuous ‘thump’ with each step. Then the noise suddenly stopped, Riley now moved quietly no longer stomping his feet with each step. He pulled the 10inch blade he had looted from his would be assassin earlier and started to scrape it across the walls as he walked. It made a horrible noise and he looked around for any sign of movement. “You can’t hide forever…” the many hallways and rooms made his voice a bit distorted and scattered. He started to get a feeling of excitement as he hunted for the inhabitant of the building. “I will find you soon enough.”

Shit he was getting closer, Will moved into one of the cubicles and readied the shovel like one would a javelin to be thrown. This guy was going to to be in a blood frenzy and lose himself in it… At least I can use that to my advantage. Will’s mind slowly formed a plan. He really wasn’t equipped for an all out brawl but he might be about to wound the guy and get away. He waited until the footsteps were close, almost on top of him before he struck. He rounded the corner with the shovel point first and let his body weight along with it screaming as he went. It was a risky move but it would pay off hopefully. He readied himself to keep running if he missed.

He continued running until ‘Wham’ A shovel from the darkness hit him dead in the chest, his padded armor took the brunt of the assault but it did flatten him as he feel flat on his back to the ground. The men's adrenaline was pumping now as he became furious. “You're gonna regret that!” He quickly picked himself from the ground, the running man now roughly fifteen feet away. Almost on impulse he swung the chain over his head across the room aiming to take the mans feet out from under him to by Riley time to catch up. “You’re not getting away that easy…”

Will booked it after the guy hit the ground.’Shit shit shit, Should smashed his head in when he was on the ground’ He kept running even though he heard the sound of the chain. “ You’re the one who attacked me!” he shouted back as he rounded the corner hearing the chain smack against the floor. “Shit” He muttered to himself as the chain hit the ground missing. He immediately started his pursuit after the fleeing man grabbing the hook of the chain from the ground as he passed it. “That’s why they brought me here… To kill everyone.”

“ So you’re gonna let them control you like a dog? Red arm band here buddy!” He said knocking over the hat rack by the front door smashing the front window, but the guy was to close behind him to try and get out , he’d have to go on the next pass through. He simply laughed “All are my targets… criminals or ‘Hero’ alike, none have been spared judgement.” he said as he started to spin his hook while running.

“Battlefield Judgement? You serve?” Will grabbed a clock and tossed it over his shoulder hoping the hit the guy in his face or something. God this guy could run, to top it off he sounded like a nut. A nut with a chain trying to kill me.

“I serve a higher judgement-” He was stopped mid sentence as the clock hit him in the face; At the same time he had thrown his chain causing it to veer off course. He sat and set his face in his hand from the pain. “Damn it!” He sat regaining his bearings. “Ughhh” He grunted as he stood up and pursuited once more now farther behind than before. Then he saw something from the window broken, there was a group of green banned people walking towards the building. Four of them from the looks of it. “Looks like you have more than me to worry about now. “Looks like there’s 4 well armed ‘heroes’ outside” He now leaned against a wall weapons ready.

“Shit…Look, I don’t trust you one bit. But I know 1 verse 4 is nuts. Truce and we might be able to get out of this long enough for you to try and kill me later, fair?” Will said peeking over around the cubicle at the guy. Riley sat thinking, he wasn’t an idiot. “You take half and i’ll take half…” He held the knife in his hand ready to strike should anyone show themselves. He looked back then walked off into another room awaiting the heroes entrance into the building.

The first hero walked through the door, flashlights in hand or weapon mounted he couldn’t tell.
“ You sure there are people here?”
“ That coat rack didn’t throw itself at the door”
Two guys.
“ Rob, Jack, go up stairs and check it , Me and Jake will head through the building. Keep eyes on one another”
Will watched one guy , he had a longer looking rifle. That is my way to survive….
Will watched the guy as he started checking the cubicle , the guy started a pattern, right than left… Will waited on the left side of the 2nd to last cubicle. looking around he found a long pair of scissors, he set his shovel down carefully.
“ Looks like they had quite a run around, no blood tho.” He said.
‘damn it… he’s the talker I’ll have a few moments before someone wonders why he shut up...’
Will clutched the sharp object.

Riley would approach this situation carefully, there were 4v2 odds and he couldn’t rely on the other man he had hunted on the first place. He sat at the corner of a doorway and listened to the men.
“They have to be up here…” one man said.
Riley kicked the doorway with his boot causing a loud ‘thud’ “He better capitalize on that…” He sat unmoving as one of the four men were quickly nearing the door. From the looks of it the man had a handgun, he wasn’t sure but it looked like a Glock 19. IT wasn’t his preferred type of gun but it would do the job. As soon as the man entered he lodged the blade under his jaw into his throat and held his mouth as to make sure he couldn’t scream. After a few moments of silence he took the man's gun and sheathed his knife as he dragged the corpse into the corner.


Right….and Will caught the guy mid turn using his forearm to both strangle and keep the guys jaw closed. Will slammed the scissor point into the back of the guys head right at the base of it.
Lights out. 30 seconds. Will striped the guy of his tac vest, side arm, and back pack. He grabbed the rifle , it was an old ass m14 style rifle. “Hey Mike, you find anything?” one of the guys from upstairs said. ‘shit.’ look shrugged on the bag and held the rifle firmly , leaving his shovel behind. Back door. He quickly made his way to the back door opening it with little subtlety. He heard the sound of someone running down the stairs just as he turned the alleyway and started to sprint in the cold rain. ‘ Fuckk fuck fuckk. ‘ He had to find somewhere safe to sit for a while at least. The crack and hiss of gunfire came from behind him. He turned a corner and was gone from that line of sight racing forward (westbound) for who knew what at this point.

Riley wrapped the chain around his torso like a crude bandolier, the chain might save his life later for all he knew. He was now well armed and even more dangerous and now he was ready to hunt more sinners down. “Bastard left me, to bad he drew the rest of the others away.” He shrugged as he exited the office and headed back to his warehouse to ready up for his trip to find others to kill.
