"Shooting off to the west? That's where they took John Lee!"Donald said with a look of concern. "We really should check it out. Poor guy, probably didn't stand a chance at a fair trial."
He called up to the roof, "Are there any weapons up there? Firearms? Those feds were packing so we need to be prepared."
Donald nodded, "We should go right away... Any chance I can borrow that Desert Eagle, Raquel?" He set down his wrench and started heading toward the sound of gun play.
In the parking lot-
"Yeah, you can borrow it," said Jack, handing Donald the shotgun and an open box half-filled with shells as he walked with him and Rachel around the northwest corner of the school. "If stuff keeps happening like this, we'll never get the bus fixed."
Alvin was still working on the bus, Murray at his side. Rashad also remained in the parking lot.
Southwest of the school- Donald, Rachel, and Jack walked through the school grounds towards the nearest hole in the fence.
OOC,Everyone, please roll Spot Hidden. The base skill is 25%.
On the way to the hole in the fence, Donald didn't notice anything noteworthy. Probably because he was busy checking the shotgun out and making sure it was loaded and safety was off.
Donald nodded, and as he loaded the shotgun it was clear he'd handled one quite a bit in the past. "No harder than surfing the internet these days... right? Just point and click." He laughed and looked out at the figure Raquel was pointing out. "Wonder if she knows what all the shooting is about?"
In the parking lot- Lucy, Declan, and Megan emerged from the school carrying the materials they had gathered to find only Alvin working on the bus with Murray beside him and Rashad standing around.
"What's going on?" asked Megan. "Where did everyone go?"
In the street- Donald, Rachel, and Jack emerged from the hole in the fence and made their way to the intesection. Amelia was no longer visible, but she had gone down the street to the west and was well ahead of them. The shooting was still audible off in the distance.
In the parking lot-
"There's shooting off to the west," said Rashad. "They went to investigate."
"Well, don't that beat all?" said Declan. "Most people run away from gunfire, not towards it."
In the street-
The gunfire petered out as Donald, Rachel, and Jack proceeded west towards the rapidly setting sun. After a while, when they had walked one block and reached Jack's RV, Amelia Delacroix and Jerry Law raced into view from the west, out of breath and frightened.
In the street- Amelia glanced back. "I don't see them," she said. "They've stopped shooting too." She hurried over to Donald and the others. "John Lee was dead when I got there, and that man and woman in black were shooting at Jerry. The other man and the blonde woman were just standing there like a couple of zombis. Not the kind that try to eat you, the Voudoun kind. Jerry, just what is going on?"
-You won't believe this. One of them simply look at Lee, he seemed distressed and in pain, and then he was dead. I was trying to get near, and they start shooting me.
