Paid Orchestra of Death {Rrahkarr}

[murazar]

Murazar drove the ‘borrowed’ van to a stop in front of a decimated apartment complex, it was night of course. Rrahkarr was in the back preparing him; Murazar was going to go back there in a second to do the same. Afterwards, he’d follow through with the plan.

Today their target was inside the highest livable floor of the building, he had barricaded himself in and had hostages. Well what happened was Rrahkarr and him were finding no jobs worth their time lately and the police threw one in the air. They wanted this man dead and the hostage’s dead too before the media found out. Afterwards they’d blow the building and burn the top floors down at the least.

Messy, but fairly complex too. It’d be impossible to do it all quietly so they might as well make it look like a mafia hit or something. The police already popped half the funds in cash in their hands. The other half was being dumped via a van which they’d make them throw a suitcase out the window randomly during the day.

It paid to be careful, regardless their plan was to bust in looking like the Scotland Yard swat team silent like. Once outside the van, they’d split up and take the front and back. Meet up and he’d take the stairs while Rrahkarr made sure the elevators on the ground floor stayed grounded. Afterward Murazar would hold the elevators and stairs for the floor at the top while Rrahkarr came up in the elevator.

Once up they’d disable the elevators permanently by bust the electronics inside it, they’d set the stairwell up with a few explosive booby traps, then they’d kill all the occupants with their silenced machine guns, then they’d prepare themselves in the apartment next to the target, blow the van to draw his attention to the outside, blow through the wall, kill the hostages, then kill the target, then they’d go to the roof, and then prepare to rappel down after blowing the floor with some C-6.

Afterwards, they’d grab a nearby car they had stashed pretty well and go get a beer after putting their equipment in the trunk…Most of it.

Murazar looked back after locking the car in place. He joked, “You ready for your prom yet?” Easier to joke than talk about the mission before it began. Besides he was the demolitions expert out of the two. He spoke again this time more serious,” Remember, no witness’s bro.” That was one of the things about assassination; you didn’t even want witnesses when no one knew you existed. It kept things even more quiet.

[rrahkarr]

Rrahkarr; wearing full black body armor with the NSY (New Scotland Yard) labeled in big yellow letters on the back of the armor, was in the back of the van they had ‘borrowed’ getting everything of his ready when the van pulled to a stop in front of the building their objective was in. When Murazar stopped the van everything lurched forward; causing Rrahkarr to almost drop the gun he was working on. “Careful!” Rrahkarr said as Murazar came into the back with him

Already both knowing the plan Rrahkarr joked “Not use to working FOR the cops” then became serious when he said “though it’s not the first time I’ve had to kill the hostages as well.” He then loaded a clip into his silenced H&K MP5 and pulled back the slide; which chambered the first round. Murazar was getting ready as well when he jokingly said “You ready for your prom yet?”

“Oh very funny.” Rrahkarr said as he holstered a silenced .45 ACP Glock 30. Rrahkarr then put on a pack that held all the ammo he would need and the rope he’d need for the repel down the side of the building. He then put a ski mask on before shouldering the silenced H&K MP5 and asked “You ready bro? I have the longer distance to cover so I’ll see you inside.” He then waved two of his fingers before he opened the door and sprinted towards the back entrance.

Rrahkarr wasn’t use to wearing so much armor so he moved a little slower then he normally would have but he made it to the back entrance within a short amount of time. He made it to the back door and found it unlocked. This is a rundown neighborhood, but I’d figured this door would’ve been locked. Rrahkarr thought as he opened the door carefully.

He peeked inside and saw no one around so he slipped in and closed the door. He pulled out the silenced Glock and proceeded down the hall. God this thing is light, I wish I had my Desert Eagle. Rrahkarr thought to himself as he tested the weight of the gun. Just as he turned the corner he was spotted by a woman; knowing the terms of the job he aimed the Glock at her head and squeezed the trigger.

The .45 ACP round flew through the air and hit the woman between the eyes and silenced her before she could even say a word. Rrahkarr then had a look on his face; the same look he got every time he went into battle, it was a look of someone who didn’t care who he killed as long as the job was a success.

Rrahkarr smiled as he said “And so it starts.”

[murazar]

Murazar nodded outfitting the upper half of his gear since the lower half didn’t affect his driving or make people panic when looking in. After preparing an Mk-64 which looked like a old mp-5 to him he attached the silencer and put his silenced 9mm hollow point for this mission in his pocket. The sub-machine gun already fired 380 AP rounds so armor piercing was covered.

He pulled out the pipe bomb and opened up the hatch to attach it to the underside of the van. After doing so he set it to explode from his cell phone he jacked off some poor Asian, it would explode if he dialed 47 and dialed.

He put the cell phone in a pouch and sealing the hatch he got out and locked the van up before proceeding to the front door. He listened for a moment for heartbeats, three heading out and five inside. He checked his ammo; he had hundred round drum barrel clips to make reloading less of a pain.

He pulled his pistol out and as soon as the door knob twisted he stood in front of it, once it opened slightly inward he shot the two people in the heart through the door before kicking it in making the third a boy go flying into the elevator making a dent.

He shot the only light bulb that worked out with his pistol before gunning down the five people in the dark as quickly as possible. In the end he had to reload his pistol, putting the empty magazine away and letting his machine gun hang over his shoulder in front of his chest he shut the door and jammed it. Afterward he stacked the bodies against it to prevent people from entering.

It was a good thing he could see perfectly in the dark, too bad for Rrahkarr he’d need to use his night vision or worse a flashlight. They came up with a simple codeword incase Rrahkarr didn’t know Murazar was there, Murazar would say Texas and Rrahkarr would reply Star. For the first floor, on the last floor the code changed to revenge said by Murazar to fox by Rrahkarr.

He checked the elevators before holding his position behind the counter that used to check people in, he could hear Rrahkarr steadily take out the ground floors occupants. If any did manage to get away he’d take them out as they headed to the front door. A good plan for that floor, he just hoped no one wanted to come back before morning. They only had so much time before resorting to hiding himself or going into the sewers.

He tested the weight of the steel body armor he had, it was a type of steel. Painted black of various degrees to hide them better in the darkness. The shape also dispersed a human-like shape so people would think they were just shadows. To him the weight barely weighed him down; it felt like the full Kevlar back in the soldier days when he was human. Not too much, but a lot if you did a lot of running around.

He waited for Rrahkarr keeping his gun trained on the elevators and stairwell, not to mention he could just move about twenty degrees to target the only other door that was the ground floor occupants.

[rrahkarr]

After he killed the woman, Rrahkarr started to systematically kill everyone on the ground floor as slowly and silently as he could. Since the lights were mostly off or out, Rrahkarr had to use his NVG (Night Vision Goggles) in order to see. That lucky son of a bitch, I’m stuck wearing these and he’s fine without. Rrahkarr thought to himself as he started to enter rooms.

He went into rooms and killed the occupants without a moment’s hesitation. He relied on the experiences he gained when working with that ex-marine mercenary. In one room after he had killed the occupants; a husband and wife with two young daughters, he thought back to when he was still a greenhorn. He would have stalled and possibly messed the mission up, but now he simply walked in and put a bullet in all of their heads without even batting an eye.

He continued doing this, killing everyone who got in his way. He was getting close to the lobby where Murazar would be waiting when the door he was about to open, opened and an armed seasoned security officer stepped out with his gun already drawn in front of him but pointed at the floor. Thankfully the lights were out in the hall, there was only a dim light emanating from a television in the room the security officer stepped out from; though dim it lit him up pretty good.

Due to the black body armor he wore and black ski mask the man didn’t see him, Rrahkarr took the advantage and aimed at the man’s head before squeezing the trigger and letting one of the Glock’s .45 ACP rounds tear into the man’s face. That was a close call. Rrahkarr thought; his heart rate had been steadily increasing from moving about in the heavy armor and it increased even more when he saw the guy come out with an un-silenced gun which could have ruined the op. Better get to Murazar. Rrahkarr thought as he cleared out the last room before the lobby.

He was about to head into the lobby but stopped. His heart rate was still elevated and Murazar might mistake him for a fleeing civvy so he stopped and called out in a high whisper “Texas”. Murazar responded and Rrahkarr entered the room. He looked around and noticed a couple elevators; both of which would need to be disabled when the time came, and the desk in the center of the room where Murazar was.

“Yo lazy.” Rrahkarr joked as he stepped over to where Murazar was then added with a little more seriousness “I guess it’s time for you to work, no civies made it this way did they?” After saying that Rrahkarr got into position and took over what Murazar was doing so that Murazar could head up to the top floor.

“Hey, take your time. I’m a little tired from moving in this shit.” Rrahkarr joked about the heavy body armor before Murazar went for the stairs. "And now to sit and wait...how fun." Rrahkarr said in a bland kind of voice before he started watching all the doors as Murazar had.

[murazar]

Murazar waited, he listened in out of boredom to Rrahkarr’s earpiece, Rrahkarr’s heartbeat increased while the others surrounding him vanished abruptly. He aimed his gun almost instantly at the door that just opened before he heard Texas in a loud whisper. He responded normally, “Star.” He grinned behind the mask as he moved out of his position when called lazy.

He simply nodded as he headed up the stairs, he did wall runs instead of going up them normal. Which to say sounded oddly like a cat having a fight with a mouse and banging against the walls. Which seemed halfway normal in this dump, he also placed explosive or shrapnel type traps set to detonate if the door knob twisted enough to open the door.

As he reached the upper floors he proceeded normally by simply running up the stairs. As the finished the last trap he heard voices, a drug lords. Jamaican by accent, “Yo bro, ve gotta load of dis red mo mo.” Then he and what felt like in his ear drums four guards. He quietly opened the door and moved forward as the last one entered the elevator. He didn’t bother aiming as he sprayed mid level all of them before they could drop the suitcases of euros.

Murazar grabbed two cases that felt like they had money in them, the others felt like time bombs because of the slight increase in weight. Morons being fooled, at least some of it we can take with us. He put them against the wall as he used his knife to cut a message that said ‘Good’ on the drug lords pimp purple shirt and hit the ground floor button.

He stepped out and started to disable the other elevator, making it where if anyone called it the persons floor door would open and the elevator would drop all the way to the bottom and be unable to be lifted again without maintenance. He grinned behind the mask of Rrahkarr’s surprise of the five dead bodies, his single large clip on the body, and the entire thing covered in blood.

Probably aid’s invested blood, I’m glad I took the stairs. He then set up a trap at the stairwell door and knelt down making sure to cover the right and left corridors with just a glance. Rrahkarr would say fox behind him to make sure Murazar doesn’t overreact and kill him, while Murazar would reply revenge. Then they’d talk for a moment to catch up as he disabled the last elevator.

Then, well they’d have to take one room at a time. Thankfully they were all the same, if they weren’t one of them would end up badly injured despite the armor which covered all but behind them for the most part.

[rrahkarr]

Great…I’ll just sit here and twiddle my thumbs. Rrahkarr joked inwardly as he sat behind the desk watching to make sure no one entered the lobby. He had his gun at the ready and his eyes roamed over each entrance. He didn’t just sit there though, there were a couple people who mustn’t have been where he entered because they entered through the other hall. He quickly and quietly took them out with a .45 ACP round each.

He started walking over to that hall when he heard the bing of the elevator as it had been activated from the top floor, so he watched as the old style elevator descended down the floors; watching what looked like a clock as it counted down the floor numbers. It would take a moment or so for it to get to the ground floor so he quickly cheeked the hall and found nothing at all. There was another bing as the elevator doors opened so Rrahkarr headed over to it.

When Rrahkarr walked up to the opened elevator he stared at the five dead bodies inside with ‘Good’ written on them. “Oh how lovely, I knew working for the cops was a bad idea.” Rrahkarr said sarcastically as he stepped into the bloodied elevator and hit the button to go to the top floor. While he was on his way up Rrahkarr switched to the H&K MP5 and holstered the Glock 30. Man, I’m getting a really bad feeling about this. Rrahkarr thought as the elevator doors opened.

He slowly peeked outside the elevator and didn’t see anyone except Murazar who disabling the other elevator. “Fox” Rrahkarr said to let him know he was here. Murazar responded with “Revenge” and Rrahkarr walked up to him and asked “What happened? Last I knew there wasn’t supposed to be anyone like that here.”

[murazar]

Murazar replied revenge as soon as he heard fox; he turned right past Rrahkarr and started to work on disabling the elevator. This time he was working with some old styled semtex to cut the building in half when they were ready.

He spoke quietly and quickly,” Drug lord popped by with some guards, apparently every room besides the targets has some sort of deal of some sort going down. So some of them we can pretend to be dealers and others we won’t. If luck is on our side no one will care about gunfire that may or may not erupt and simply disregard it as a deal gone bad.

However, if it happens more than thrice. Someone in one of the rooms is gonna go peeking where he shouldn’t.” He paused admiring his work, then covering it up. If they were lucky someone would use either elevator if they escaped, once used they’d explode in a hellfire of pure beauty.

Then again that was the insanity talking. He spoke again after stretching and checking his gear/guns. “One room at a time, you take left and I’ll take right sides. Check everywhere, oh yea those two suitcases have some cash. Before we go to the roof we’ll take them with us as some bonus payment for our trouble.” He grinned money that was found on scene was always a nice bonus if it wasn’t expected to stay.

He pointed at the right as the left first door was the targets. He had some LNIE {Low-Noise Instant Entry} devices to go through the doors. It was essentially a flash bang that spread inward and was almost completely silent. It also disabled the lock and opened the door so they could move fast.

He took the right side of the door and knocked on it twice, after hearing no answer he attached the device and turned his body away. The entry was simple; the one who placed the device went second inside. Which meant Rrahkarr went first inside and the Murazar backed him up.

[rrahkarr]

Rrahkarr nodded as Murazar explained what had happened. “Okay then.” Rrahkarr replied when Murazar gave him the plan on how they were going to clear the rooms. The headed down to the right and followed the hall until they came to the first door in it. Rrahkarr got into position on the left side of the door as Murazar got ready on the right side.

Rrahkarr watched as Murazar set up the LNIE device on the door and he gave him a signal when he was done. Rrahkarr had his silenced H&K MP5 at the ready and when the door lock blew; surprisingly creating no sound at all almost, Rrahkarr rushed into the room. As he entered he noticed the dead body of whoever was about to answer the door and the five other people in the room who were a tad bit in shock at seeing their buddy killed so suddenly.

Rrahkarr; being on the left side of the room now that he entered, opened fire on the two people who were directly in front of him. A third was running for cover and he took a few shots at that mans back. Murazar had quickly come in behind him and took care of the others on the other side of the room. All were silenced kills with no enemy shots fired. Thank god for that at least. Rrahkarr thought to himself as he made sure everyone in there was dead before exiting the room and following Murazar to the next.

Murazar was already at the next door and setting up the next LNIE device. As Rrahkarr stepped past Murazar he tapped him on the shoulder, leaned down and whispered “Easy Money” as he got ready for the next room by taking the nearly spent clip out of the MP5 and pocketing it before reloading it with a fresh clip. And the fun continues. Rrahkarr thought to himself.

[murazar]

Their work continued until they reached the last door of the floor besides their target. This was the room that they were going to use so they had to be extra careful and not miss. The thing was is that so far each room before them got harder and harder to do silently. The last one was pure luck.

He also had a knife lodged into his abdomen, it hurt but then again his adrenaline finally kicked in. It was a burst of energy and pain killers that made him grin far too maniacally behind the mask. He also had set up the Semtex that remained on him around the other rooms making this and the next one the last in which the entire floor would explode and fall straight down.

So far no one had come up the stairs or used the elevators although it did seem somewhat strange that no one had tried to leave either. Plus he had a really bad feeling after the last couple of rooms, like someone was watching the whole ordeal. It made him anxious to finish this mission.

He nodded to Rrahkarr and spoke softly,” I’ll take the lead just back me up I’m going to waste anything that moves. Just look in the side rooms while I secure the larger ones and set up our fancy entrance.” It would take a little longer for him to set up the two different explosives and make it connect to his borrowed cell phone again.

He grinned as he knocked and surprisingly a white man just slipped a package under, Murazar slipped it back under which caused a little bit of confusion as the man started to open the door. Once it was open enough that the man saw them the LNIE Imploded and the entire place was filled with brightness.

Murazar moved fast and systematically killed oddly only three people in the room. At the minimum there should have been three more, if not more than that. He checked one of the white people’s wallets. Murazar frowned as it read off FBI…Oh shit this international, fuck! Better finish this and get the hell out fast. He didn’t bother looking out the shaded windows knowing that would simply be a screw up move.

He instead set up the explosives and then readied their entrance explosive in the living room. His own heart was racing too fast to hear any heartbeats. It pounded in his ears as his nostrils were filled with the scent of blood not only of himself but the massacre they had created.

He kept the Fed’s I.D. on his shoulder so Rrahkarr could pick it up. This time the code words Revenge and Fox would have to be used or else Murazar would waste anything if he so much as heard a footstep near him.

He smiled as he heard music from the targets bedroom. Devour by Shinedown…Irony. His thought cropped up as he heard Its your final hour. The man seemed to be playing the entire Shinedown album. Murazar kept working on his multiply connected LNIE devices connected with some small amount of C-6. It would wipe out in a fire ball the next room, bust the door open on the other side and cause temporary blindness/hearing loss on the other side of that door.

[rrahkarr]

They had just cleared the second to the last room. It had indeed been getting harder to keep things quiet and Rrahkarr was lucky to evade getting hit by anything…including a knife that Murazar had taken; of which was still in him. Murazar had told him to check the other rooms so Rrahkarr checked for anything suspicious.

Man this op has gone from bad to shit. Rrahkarr thought as he investigated the other rooms. He found nothing really out of place but then again he was never trained to find things that were so obvious yet so hidden at the same time. He had to stop and take a small breather, Man I’m really not use to moving in this. He thought as he messed around with the heavy steel-like body armor.

He figured enough time had gone by for Murazar to take out that room and start setting up the explosives. Ah, explosives…such art and beauty in a confined space. Rrahkarr thought to himself; his inner pyro emerging, as he headed back to where Murazar was. Everything was clear except for the target room and as Rrahkarr drew close to where Murazar was he said in a hushed voice; as to not alert anyone in the room they were about to enter, “Fox!”

Murazar responded and Rrahkarr entered the room and noticed that there were only three men in there. That’s strange, there should be more then this shouldn’t there? Rrahkarr asked himself as he stepped up to Murazar and asked “Everything out there is clear, how are things coming along here?”

[murazar]

Murazar finished up the explosive and started to add it to the detonation for his borrowed phone. He used his free left hand to grab and flip the fed badge up to Rrahkarr. “Looks like Scotland yard don’t like the feds too much, although there should be at least two more per their operating standards if not a third.”

He spoke solemnly; this job had gone to shit. He for one was not going to quit a job even if it was a suicidal death sentence. It would give his reputation too big of a hit and he would never be able to get the jobs he normally could. This one for one would open up more jobs and trust with the werewolves even if they hated him they would know he’d get a job done.

Considering both his vampiric immortality and the werewolf immortality they more than likely would keep him around until he endangered them as a whole. He grinned momentarily breaking the morbid mood of the room. He stopped for a moment and looked at Rrahkarr. “Check the rest of the floor and the roof. Stairs are opposite of the ones I came out of. Once you hear the van explode get your ass back here ASAP!”

The floor was technically just above them, which was good because the explosives he placed here would also blow the roof up and might make it fall off the sides. In other words they’d have to be really close to the bottom of the ground once rappelling or else they’d die.

[rrahkarr]

Rrahkarr looked at the badge that Murazar handed him and let out a frustrated sigh. "How did I know this job was going to turn to shit?" Rrahkarr asked as Murazar told him to re-search the rooms and roof. Rrahkarr nodded as Murazar told him when he heard the van explode to hurry back. Rrahkarr left the room and cracked his knuckles before he went in search of any other feds.

Rrahkarr searched all the rooms on that floor but still found nothing. Time to check the roof. Rrahkarr thought as he headed towards the stairs. When he came to the stairs Rrahkarr made sure to stay as far as he could from the stairs leading down. I think I’ll play it safe rather than risking any explosives going off. He loves explosives way too much. Rrahkarr thought as he headed up the stairs that went to the roof.

He came to the door that would exit onto the roof but he stopped before opening it. He heard a helicopter on the other side of the door, but it sounded like it was taking off rather than landing. He double checked the mag on his H&K MP5 before opening the door. He rushed behind cover as he witnessed the heli taking off; its rotors spinning at max speed.

Shit, there may have been feds on that copper. Rrahkarr thought as it flew further and further away. That’s when Rrahkarr heard voices; both male and speaking to each other. Rrahkarr peeked out from where he had hid from the helicopter and noticed both men were white and spoke as if they were Americans. Oh yeah, they must be working with the feds. Rrahkarr thought as he aimed his MP5 at them and unleashed a lead storm at them.

They both fell to the ground, riddled with bullet holes, and pools of blood were starting to form around them. Well that takes care of that, but those other feds got away…Murazar isn’t going to like this. Rrahkarr thought when he heard an explosion; the van had exploded, Rrahkarr quickly turned around and sprinted back inside the building and flew down the stairs.

He got back to the room Murazar was in, in record time and called out “Fox” just to be safe, he responded and Rrahkarr went up to him. “La Valupe, we just had a heli take off from the roof. And I just wasted two Americans who remained…let’s hurry and finish this op.” Rrahkarr said to Murazar as he readied the bombs.

[murazar]

While alastor checked the roof he wasn't doing nothing either he finished his explosive routine and soon turned around as a vampire dressed in a suit with a vest over him jumped to him with a knife. Murazar's eyes quickly noted a jammed pistol and figured the reason he didn't hear was because of the constant clicking of programming the numbers in the phone.

He used his feet to kick the mans face in before swinging himself into a crouch and leveled his pistol at him he pumped the entire clip into the vampires body making him constantly jerk and the final shot to the head sent him in a small somersault into the bathroom. Murazar didn't bother reloading. Instead he took his large knife and and ran into the bathroom to behead the damn thing, instead he collapsed and dropped his knife.

The vampire had recovered by then and managed to kick the knife away before shutting the door. Murazar pulled the knife out of his leg as the vampire shut the door and jammed it into his thigh and pulled him down next to him. He quickly snaked his arm around and crushed his throat before pulling the knife out and started to slice his head off. Murazar picked his knife up and staggered up and opened the door.

Once he walked back in he collapsed agaisnt the wall and slammed a clay-like medical gauze that froze his injury and had pumped minor amounts of epinephrine in his system to keep him going a bit longer. He stood back up and readied his equipment and ammo to prepare for the onslaught.

As soon as rrahkarr entered the room he sat back down and grimaced. "Give me a moment to rest and think, this changes it more and more. Here set these up on the stairs to the roof." Two grenades and some string. They could be set up to explode the stairwell giving them cover if set up right the could be avoided by the people who knew they were there too.

[rrahkarr]

Murazar had Handed Rrahkarr a couple of trip wires and grenades and told him to set them up in the stairwell leading to the roof. Oh I remember doing this quite a few times before. Rrahkarr thought and inwardly chuckled before saying “No prob, I’ll have these set in a few moments.” Rrahkarr then started to head out of the room but slowed and added “With the way this shit keeps turning out…watch your back. I have a feeling this is going to get worse."

Rrahkarr then exited the room and went to the stairwell and went closer to the top to set the first trap. He attached part of the wire to the pin on the grenade after he placed it on the transitioning space between the levels of the stairs, before attaching it to the other side of the wall. Good thing the floors here are black and the walls darkened, I guess it helps that the lighting sucks here. Rrahkarr thought to himself and finished setting up trap.

He went a little further down and started setting up the second one. Man, I swear I’m never going to work for Scotland yard again. Rrahkarr thought as he finished setting up the trap and stopped and looked at it. Just like the good old days. He thought and headed back to Murazar. Again to be safe he called out “Fox” before entering the room.

[murazar]

Murazar got up and pent up his energy. Mainly by focusing on thoughts that pissed him off to no extreme. He focused that anger on everything, but rrahkarr and kept it firmly under control. He checked the vampire and his gear again.

Then he waited for rrahkarr to finish as he listened to the heartbeats. The man as starting to come back. As soon as rrahkarr said his codeword he replied his.

He motioned to get ready and form up behind him. He dialed in the explosives and as he put his phone away they exploded. The wood splinter and groaned for a instant as it was flung away like a toothpick in the wind of a hurricane.

He charged forward like a linebacker and as soon as the vision cleared through he poured lead into the hallway from the room into the kitchen. The man a werewolf it seemed was surprised and dived into the living room.

Murazar ignored the woman and child who seemed frightened, shellshocked, and generally unable to respond except by quivering in the corner behind the bed. Murazar crouched and rolled across the dusty and smoky tile floorway behind the kitchen table. He flung it up before firing off the last of his clip over the table.

The man returned fire from after a quick glance was the couch. Murazar pulled out his pistol and dual-wielded them firing the machine gun over head before throwing it forward when the clip ran out. He bolted around the cover as the man held his gun over the half-eaten couch. Half-eaten not only by the exchange of gunfire, but by the various insects that seemed to thrive.

At the moment, well actually from before that. Murazar's vision had faded to a pure red perspective. Everything was red to one degree or the other. His blood haze of fury and beserking was on. He felt no pain as a few bullets grazed him and one embedded into his forearm like a tick on a deer.

He grabbed the mans uzi-like weapon and jammed his thumb into the slide to make it stop firing. Then he pulled the man clear over the couch and threw him into the barricaded doorway full of odds-and-ends. Murazar aimed his pistol at the man and squeezed the trigger. It clicked. Nothing happened, they stared at each other for moment before murazar dropped the pistol in mid-run.

The grappled with each other slamming into the ground as both lost control. He bit into the mans face with his fangs as he attemped to use his thumbs to crush his eyes into his skull. The man slammed a knife into murazar's waist and pulled him off him, they rolled over and murazar coughed up blood in the mans face.

The man was already half blind and almost dead from the sheer impact of the steel armor and physical power of murazar. He didn't give up and tried to use the knife to draw it through murazar's side. Murazar head butted the man and rolled over again. He kept head butting him until the mans face was crushed in. After wards he pulled the knife out and fell over sideways.

He bit into the mask tearing it none too gently. The adreneline wasn't even covering the massive pain he felt. Blood. Blood. BLOOD! Were all his thoughts about. In a flash he ripped the mask off and fell onto the mans body before jamming his teeth into the mans neck to drink heavily.

Meanwhile, the cops and foreign FBI agents who had forced scotland yard to cooperate were not charging through the nest of explosives. Once they activated one of the booby traps below they slowly and cautiously went forward. Ever so slowly every thirty seconds one of the booby traps exploded before none at all exploded.

That mean't the feds were disabling them, fast too...
