The guard Feign had directly fired at fell over on his side, dead as the bolts found their marks in his neck. The other guard's gun made a horrendously loud noise as the barrel splayed open, sufficiently jammed by Feign's lucky shot. The guard took shards of metal to his eyes and tumbled away behind the pillar, screaming.<br/><br/>The guard behind the pillar Sara was still pressed against stuck his head around again, searching for Feign. When he saw just a hint of the young man, he fired to force Feign into cover and surged around the pillar, ducking for cover behind an overturned pew.<br/><br/>Sara apparently hadn't been seen by this one, and now his back was wide open for a shot.</div></blockquote><br/>Feign grabs the medic's shoulder and shakes him a little, trying to get the man back to reality.  "C'mon, doc no time for a nap."  Suddenly, he notices a numbness in his left shoulder that is warming up quickly.  Looking to his side, he sees a black needle like chunk of metal in his arm.<br/><br/>He puts down his crossbow anmd carefully pulls the piece of shrapnel out of his arm.  Still painfully hot to the touch, it looks to have cauterized the wound instantly when it hit.  Once it's out, his shoulder goes into a painful spazm for a moment.  "Damn-" Then a piece of the pew he 's ducking behind explodes, forcing him to instinctively duck further. "Shit! Dammit!"<br/><br/>He scoops up the crossbow and almost pulls back the string for another bolt, when his arm suddenly jerks in another spazm, causing him to half-fire the bolt into the pew in front of him.  "dammit, dammit, dammit."<br/><br/>He hears another shot, this time clearly from Sara's revolver, though the relief at the sound of that is replaced by a sense of urgency, as if he is in more danger than he knows.  He looks down at the medic, puts the crossbow onto his belt and snatches the man's pistol.  "I guess it has come to this.  We,re beyond subtlety anyway, come on."
