Cassandra does resist. The gun suddenly snaps up, aimed at Helene's chest.
"Don't." Cassandra bites out. "They're after my baby. Don't you take my gun. Don't you dare."
Cassandra ignores helene's questions. The attempt on the gun has made a hard edge come into Cassandra's eyes. She studies you with untrusting eyes. You realize that you've taken a step back with her. If you are to gain her trust and get any information, you will have to do some convincing.
Helene will need to make a social roll to get any information OR to persuade her to set down the gun. She could choose to roll initiative to force the gun from Cassandra. Helene could make a medical roll to gain any knowledge of Cassandra's state.
In the room, there is a startled scream. Helene's partner thats he had spoken to only by phone now lies on the ground, cradling his hand. His fingers - at least two of them - are splayed the wrong way. Broken. The sight may twist Helene's stomach... Kristen now battles the attacker alone. The two seem evenly matched, quiet and focused. Kristen has locked the man's right arm under her arm, cupping it close to her chest. The man has rolled backwards on the ground, causing Kristen and the stranger to roll on the ground, his spare arm clubbing at Kristen's head.
