Taylor hissed a sharp sound when Meko lifted his arm to help support him. The sharp pain in his shoulder blade flared even more at the awkward angle even as his knees and ankles sighed in relief. He tried to keep as much of his weight off Meko as possible without straining his already tired and weakened muscles any further. He knew heâ€™d be of no use if he over worked himself before he could handle it.<br/><br/>Xander watched the boy take hold of Taylor and how Taylor visibly relaxed. He hadnâ€™t seen the asshole this weak in years, hell probably decades by now. The question about the mainframe caught him off guard and made him look over his shoulder at the two men limping along after him. â€œYes, but why do we need to go there? Itâ€™s the opposite way of the safest escape.â€<br/><br/>Taylor looked over at Meko as he leant away from the boy to prop against the wall, an effort to give them both a small break. â€œWhatever youâ€™re thinking of doing Meko, itâ€™s not worth it.â€ He knew he shouldnâ€™t have said that the moment it slipped from his lips. It was a stupid thing to say, the kid trusted him and now heâ€™d successfully probably managed to make his warrior think he didnâ€™t trust him.<br/><br/>â€œDown.â€ Xander growled pushing Meko closer to the wall just as a bullet smashed into the wall beside them sending debris onto his shoulder. â€œKeep close to the wall.â€ Xander turned so he could peer around the corner before jerking back to safety as a hail of bullets ripped through the hall. â€œI donâ€™t suppose your ghost pal can be two places at once?â€ It was a sarcastic question as he peered around the corner again and fired off a few shots.<br/><br/>Taylor groaned as he moved closer to his brother and tightened the grip on his gun. â€œIâ€™ll give you cover go over to the other side.â€ Xander looked at his brother and then at the kid. Before taking off at a run across the opening and sliding behind the opposite wall. The whole time Taylor was shooting blindly around the corner preoccupying the enemy long enough for Xander to make it to the other side.<br/><br/>â€œIâ€™m going to need you to be my eyes.â€ Taylor looked over at Meko, his vision still slightly blurred from the pain that was abating slowly. â€œGet down by my feet and peer around the corner. Tell me how far I am off by degrees.â€ He shot Meko a rather sarcastic smile as he motioned to the gun in his warriors hands. â€œShoot to kill, thatâ€™s an order.â€
