Collins hears a machinery start behind the metal door in the wall. The unmistakable sound of an elevator going up. The key pad lights up and four stars appear on the panel next to the pad.

Dr Sanchez´ heart rate goes up. If Collins has any questions he needs to ask the director he must ask them fast.

C.L. rapidly assesses the situation and makes his best call given the circumstances while preparing to target and fire upon any possible threats.

"We need to move fast and finish this mission before we lose anyone else. The best position for the package is the stairwell." He announced aggressively over the comms "I want two people with me to cover my ass while I arm the bomb, everyone else get topside with the girl. No mucking around here, if it's not us and it moves, shoot it."

OOC: People present in the stairwell are: C.L., Larsen , Crawford and the girl Heather.

Other location - Maintenance area-
Collins, Hale and Weiss are in the middle of the mall... with dr Sanchez and another civilian, according to Hale´s last report.

Not accounted for-
Man wearing gas mask, last approximate location: Guns & Ammo (146)

Crawford gets ready to accompany C.L. down half a stair to plant the bomb. Larsen gets hold of the girl and starts up the stairs.

"Collins! Evac, now!" Larsen reinforces C.L.´s order.

Weiss is unaffected by the death of the team leader and the horde of crazies in the mall. "Weiss here! Copy that. I´ve found back corridor leading west ending in another stairwell. I´m holding this position so Collins and Hale can get out this way. No targets on the way. Over!"

Maria Hale takes the plan level headedly and has no qualms with how the mission has evolved. "Just another screw-over by the company."

Crawford is trying to compose herself, she shakes her head and moves on with C.L. to watch his back.

Larsen, C.L. & Collins

Mental Status: Unknown

After the initial rush of combat and action C.L. starts to comprehend the situation fully, remaining as calm as ever.

With all the yammering in his ear piece, the medic pulls it out of his ear so he can hear the doctor.

"Dr. Sanchez," Collins says looking a bit somber, "Your injuries were extensive. I'm sorry. Is there any unfinished business you'd like to tell me of ... while you have the strength?"

"Smith ... Dr Smith and I never get along. Only the positions we have and the progress we make... keep us in the top at UC.

But today, while escaping up here, everything was revealed. Smith was carrying a reinforced suitcase and refused to explain what was in it.

I suspected something was wrong and when I demanded answers... I even warned to shoot him if he didn´t leave the suitcase in the Hive.
Then he told me he had created a situation in the Hive with the biological samples with a virus the G-virus which we were working on. Apparently out of here, he had a buyer that would pay an exorbitant amount of money and provide a new identity.

I do not know who, probably a rival company.

He offered me to join him, but I refused. That infuriated him."


The doctor suffers a violent fit of coughing. When it stops, a trickle of dark blood comes from her mouth.

"Then, somehow, he pulled a gun. We shoot at each other... I was hit... but Smith will not get very far. He caught at least two bullets. And it´s I who die...here.... Is...is it the G-Virus that interests UBCS, right? That´s why are you here ... He has the case with the samples... He must not leave this building...They will all die..."

Another cough attack interrupts her story.

Larsen takes a quick survey of the mall on the laptop to get a fuller picture of how things look. The result is alarming. The map has updated and at the location Collins and Hale are at is described as the shaft where the Hive connects to the mall. Or rather where the tube leading to the Hive is connected to the mall. The elevator is moving...upwards. Through the cameras he spots five infected outside Weiss´ stairwell. Sixteen just outside the stairwell he´s standing in and thirty seven outside Collins´ location. The situation is not as problematic as he first thought and that assures him they´ll get out without too much trouble.

Time: 107

Ooc,please roll for me to speed things up. Posting from my phone.

"We are here to save you doctors, and destroy the infected in one big explosion," Collins explains. "If you think you have the strength, I'll try to take you with me. But my prognosis isn't good on your chances, doctor."

Collins is as stable as his voice is reassuring. the team members had all been through some hideous times before. Sgt Ferrer´s coaching leadership had prepared them well. When it counts Bravo team, steps up a notch. And this is definitely time to step up.

"....we both had a shot of antivirus... Smith has a refrigerated case with him... to stop the virus you need the case..."

She looks at Collins "You do what you have to. I was sure you were here to finish me off...."

Hale is heard from the room next door. "Collins! There should be an elevator in the room you´re in. It´s going up..." While speaking, she offers her sidearm to Kim. "I´ll escort the mechanic here to Weiss´location due west. Can you manage carrying the doc?" She gestures to the mechanic to take the corridor west.

Airbornexo:

Collins grabs the doctor by the armpits and drags her out of the storage room. The doctor groans but stays conscious. A direct right to get out of sight from anyone coming up the elevators. Two breaths. As delicately as possible he lifts dr Sanchez in a fireman´s hold and starts off towards the corridor Weiss described earlier.

The sound of metal sliding against metal is heard from behind.

Kim took the unfamiliar brute of a pistol and turned it over in her hands wishing she'd put more time in at the range with pistols rather than blowing clays with a shotgun. Watching the man drag the woman into the corridor, Kim quickly assessed the fragile condition of the doctor. "Woah, wait you can't be carrying her like that in her state...Hang on, put her down a second."

Kim rummaged a few medical supplies from her backpack and attempted to patch up the Doctor.

OOC - 1d100=2 Kim impales her firstaid roll (48%) but if this is not appropriate please just edit it out.

The patient's health should come first... before Collins' pride, so yes... he would allow Kim to attempt patching her up. Perhaps she would catch something he missed or overlooked. They're all a bit under pressure, after all. He set Dr. Sanchez down and brought his weapon up training it toward the direction of the elevators. "We don't have much time to waste. Something's coming up behind us, and I'm sure it isn't good," he said to Kim.

Kim´s effort [url=ttp://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2900845/]probably is life saving[/url] Sanchez´ eyes bright up a little. "Still hurts... like... hell.." Kim helps Collins to get Sanches securely over his shoulder. Hale covers their progress in case someone or something should exit from the elevator room. Then they hurry away from the maintenance area. "We´re coming, Weiss!" Hale reports over the comms.
