Adam Chen & Macgrueder Scene 5

[Tal]

The hissing pops from Alistairs guns said all that Tal needed to hear and she brought her own gun around to shoot the dog in front of her before she realized that the safety on her pistol had never been taken off. There was no time to berate herself, just to act. She dropped the gun and shucked the blanket off of her arm, her right hand flashing to her lower back where her knife sat. The hours she'd spent practicing her draw allowed her fingers to slip beneath the shirt tied around her waist and pull the blade free.

Spinning, she slashed at the dog behind her, her arm reflexively snapping back towards the animal in another stab.

The dog that Tal and Alistair had targetted makes a strangled cry as it's intestines spool out onto the gravel. It lays still, dying nearly instantly. Macgrueder bites off a swear words and pulls the trigger of the gun that he draws smoothly in one motion from the back of the waist band of his pants. The motion suggests that this isn't the first time that he's fired his gun in this manner. The dog makes a startled, pained yelp as a bullet penetrates. One may notice that he is following Alistair's kill list.

The dog closest to Tal leaps forward, sinking it's teeth into Tal's bad leg. Her clothing affords her some protection, but the pain is terrible. The snarling of the dog by Jodie indicates that it is just as eager to sink it's teeth into her vulnerable flesh. Jodie has bare moments to attack before it does...

Quick steps took the brunette out the door, her gun aiming at the dog that had attacked Tal. She couldn't much account for what dogs were which in firing order, but she'd be damned if she was going to let Tal take any more damage than she already had. It was an almost instinctual motion - it was not about what the dog was, anymore. Someone was being clearly injured. She wouldn't stand for it.

The shot rang out pointedly from the gun that had been in Diane's car, and Jo's gaze had settled promptly on the dog that held to Tal's leg. Why had the woman pulled her gun if she decided she was going to use a knife, anyway? It hardly made sense to the brunette, but then, guns were a comfortable fit for her own hands. She did her best to put as much distance between herself and the dogs as possible, but of course there were limits.

If she's able to both close the door AND shoot, Jodie will have closed the door behind her before taking aim and shooting in hopes of closing the other dog in the room. If not, she's simply shooting.

As Jodie walks forward, she passes the growling dog that had sought her out in the motel room. This dog lunges aggressively at her as she steps past the door, lining up a very good shot at the dog attacking Tal. The dog's needle sharp teeth release the cloth by Tal's knee as it yelps in pain as muscle is obliterated. Where is somewhere in it's shoulder and back region. The animal is now quickly darting and difficult to track as it bounds in front of Tal, seeking another opening. The dog at Jodie's back makes a vicious dart forward, sinking it's teeth into the calf muscle of Jodie's right leg. The dog worries it by whipping it's head back and forth, a hellish game of tug of war.

Samael does immediately notice that there are two people watching the fight with the dogs from the Restaurant. One of them - with close cropped, almost shaven hair- is holding a pistol at his side. Both are wearing bulky clothing. When they see Samael's attention is on them, they hurriedly run to the Honda accord. The two men jump into the Honda Accord and spin out of the restaurant parking while the passenger side door is still hanging open. The Accord spits gravel up under it's wheels in the haste of their relocation. The Honda drives away from the Motel, following the only road in the opposite direction of Sam's cell.

Samael does note that the shade across the Old Man Walker's hotel room makes it difficult to determine if his window shades are moving. Samael definitely feels the supernatural affects of the cold - the hot sun is still burning down upon them, but a chill settles on your bodies. The cold is a tangible thing, causing your breath to come out in vapor clouds. Southern California should never see this in Temecula in July.

"Cole and Vick are rabbiting!" Chen reports. He whips out a cell phone and dials a number. "I'm going to hold the Sheriff on the line. Be careful!"

Chen strides away and holds the phone to his ear.

"Sheriff? Hey! How's it going? Oh, you heard shots fired? Yeah, some target shooting, is all. May hear the boys in a minute... "
Chen stops in his tracks, spinning with a sick look on his face. For all of his nonchalant tone with the sheriff, he looked very alarmed and afraid.

We move back to the top of the initiative

Cross

[Tal]

One threat down, Tal focused her attention on the dog that had just ripped into her, that damn animal. Her blade flashed out again, cutting along the dog's flesh but it dodged back away from her slash. The infernal, alien cold was throwing her off. The bullets whipping by her weren't very comforting either.

[Seryna]

The dog that Alistair and Tal have focused on gives a startled yelp as muscle is pulvarized from Alistair's weapon. The blade carves into the animal's shoulder and hot, pulsing blood leaks from the animal. The dark fur becomes slick with blood as the dog gives an anguished cry. It pitches forward at Tal's feet and languishes on it's side. The tongue spills out of it's mouth, laying on the gritty gravel. After a moment, it's eyes glaze over and the dog expires.

Macgrueder mutters under his breath as he lines up a shot on the dog behind Jodie. He is forced to take several steps back and to the side to line up a shot that doesn't have Jodie in the line of fire. The dog snarls and snaps, white teeth flashing. A bead of cold sweat drips down Macgruder's forehead. He bites his lip and squeezes the trigger. The bullet plunges into the animal's flank.

The bite to her leg caused her to bite back a bit of a yell of her own, and as the others seemed to concentrate on the dog that had already released its target, Jo's focus couldn't help but turn on the cause of her pain. Her free hand rested on the wall beside her for a moment as she tried to free her leg, before making a few rather awkward steps back, limping slightly, and firing a shot off at the creature that had... well, it had caused her a bit of pain, ripped her new pants, and left bloodstains. Fuck.

It was hardly the best shot she'd made... like, ever. But hey, it wasn't as though she was able to position herself fully appropriately, either, her leg resisted her doing so, and she found herself shaking a little even as the trigger was pulled.
