Chapter 102: Forest Fight
Alexandre quickly tensed his muscles and moved behind a large tree. He sunk into a fighting stance, but he wasn't sure exactly where the enemy was. Considering that Hunter powers were likely involved, he couldn't trust the simple trajectory of the bullet. He cautiously looked at his Pip-Boy.

There was another cracking sound and a bullet pierced his right calf!
Alexandre acknowledged the wound and quickly analyzed the situation in his mind. He was almost certainly dealing with a sniper-type Rifleman. He dropped to the ground and acted as though he was in agony, moving his hands like he was trying to keep himself from bleeding out on the ground.
As he did so, Alexander studied his leg wound. It seemed to have been deliberately aimed through the muscle but not the artery. It seemed that whoever had shot him only wanted Alexandre neutralized, not dead.
Then his head snapped to the side as a rubber bullet struck him violently in the head! His vision blurred for the moment and he tasted blood from a bitten tongue which quickly healed. Alexandre decided to play along and make the enemy think he was unconscious, so he closed his eyes and went still.
