Chapter 247: Operation Wolf Slayer. (Part 35)
The door wasn’t supposed to be opened—that much was clear from the way the attendants and Romano mobsters reacted. The instant the first crack showed, they all turned around and looked for the one responsible, their guns aimed and their fingers on the trigger.
Realizing what was about to happen, Rose switched her focus and turned to those on her side of the barrier, starting with the attendant right beside her. She snatched the pistol attached to his belt and pressed it under his chin.
BANG
The man’s brain didn’t explode from the top of his head as one would expect, showing that he had a reinforced skull. Instead, his eyes burst out of their sockets along with a stream of blood and brain matter, making for a rather gruesome scene.
Rose moved her hand and squeezed the trigger three times, each one finding its way to the brain of an attendant or a Romano goon. Her lucky streak soon came to an end, however, and she was forced to move as gun barrels turned to aim at her.
She moved with sudden bursts of speed, confusing the shooters as she used some as cover, causing some friendly fire. Kirk had switched his target and was firing at the attendants as well, targeting those who went after their purple-haired teammates while tanking a number of shots that ripped through his skin.
After weaving between some of the still-standing shooters, he grasped the last one and twisted his neck, snapping it in a single motion. Instead of letting him fall, however, she grasped him by the collar and held him up like a shield as she ran toward the Kirk. Once she was behind the giant, the two of them retreated toward the exit, following after Mr. Pike.
"So much for a heist." Rose chuckled, checking the ammo in her pistol before firing from behind the giant.
"You got the relic?" Kirk asked, acting as if all the bullets he took were nothing.
"Yeah, about that." Glancing at Mr. Pike, Rose smiled wryly. "Sorry, couldn’t get your sword."
