Jack took Bridget at her word.  He had stopped thinking of her as a woman and now saw her as another soldier.  If anyone had told him that he would feel this way, he would have called them crazy, but it was true.<br/><br/>He helped the old man to his feet and started moving him and the girl down the hallway.  Near the end of the hallway an ear splitting alarm went off and he could hear the sound of men on the stairs in front of them.  Ducking his head into the stairwell he saw guards descending.  They were cut off!  He hustled the professor and the girl back down the hall.<br/><br/>"We've got to take that room.  We've got company on the stairs!"  He charged forward and grabbed one of the downed guards rifles.  Going to one knee, he started picking off guards as they emerged.  After a minute, no more came out.  He hauled the professor and the girl into the room, where a bunch of scared scientists were cowering in a corner.  There was one guard left, who shot at him, and Jack felt the bullet graze his bicep, before shooting him in the head.<br/><br/>"We've got to block this door!"  Jack started to haul a metal filing cabinet over toward the door.  It scrapped along at a slow pace, as guards advanced down the hallway, their guns at the ready. Finally, he had it almost in place.<br/><br/>"Come on!"  He yelled to Bridget.  "No sense yet!"<br/><br/>The professor and the girl ran over to the other scientists and were talking with them in an animated fashion.  Over the sound of the alarm, Jack could not hear what was being said, but it seemed that they were having some sort of argument.
