Jack followed Norene down the stairwell. Once he reached the bottom he saw the two figures, which almost made him put his shotgun away, but the thing that stopped him was him noticing who one of them one was. Jack had never seen Nikolai before in his life, but he had heard physical descriptions of him when he was told by his fellow N.C.O.s about the shit he pulled. Jack trained his shotgun on Nikolai, his brow furrowing and teeth gritting. He didn't care if there were hideous monsters tearing apart the city, he felt this man was the biggest threat out of anything he could possibly imagine coming across. "Don't move or I'll turn you into a human colander!" Jack shouted at Nikolai. Jack's broken rib and side-wound were hurting him, as well as his left arm, but he tried his best to ignore the pain and keep his gun aimed at Nikolai. Even though the pain didn't show on Jack's face, the gash was clearly visible, as was the slight trembling in his left arm as he attempted to hold the gun steady.
