Panting, Niva reached the alley but it seemed empty. Where the hell was the rabbit chick now? she thought with some irritation. She could hear out of one ear and that made her feel like she was walking sideways. She scanned the upper regions for anymore possible snipers. Clear, she said, or maybe she thought. This deafness was maddening. Out of the corner of her eye, she caught another black clad person. Her patience thin and her temper short, she just drew her Neos that had been reworked to hold lethal rounds and shot the bastard. Right now, she didn't care if he was an innocent bystander. She was tired of creepers. He hit the ground with a small hole in the front of his head. The back of his head was non existent.<br/><br/>The ground under her feet shook and Niva turned to see if Gabriel was joining her. Sirens were wailing now and she could hear that.<br/><br/>"Hey, Bunny, where you at?" Niva called and realized she was still shouting. Modulating her voice she tried again. "Hey, Bunny, are you okay? did you get hurt? We made it out okay. We  gotta go. You coming with us?"<br/><br/>Niva looked around, seriously looked around, peering into the shadows but couldn't see anything. "Come on now." her voice rose a little again. Finally she shrugged and turned to Gabriel.  \<br/>Creeping to the end of the alley, she looked around to see no people and a few vehicles, doors standing open just like that garbage truck. Crouching down, she rushed for a red mini van. It was filled with stuffed animals and cookie crumbs and Niva put her hand in some fresh bubble gum when she leaned in to hotwire the car. No time to be picky, she thought with disgust as she scraped the goo from her palm. She jumped in, pealing out while she tugged her door shut. She hit the button and the sliding passenger doors glided open. "Full tank," she said in triumph as she squealed around in a 180 turn up to the entrance of the alley<br/><br/>"Gabriel. Come on. Did you find Bunny? Come on, man, we got to run."
