(kind of...)<br/>Just outside the Town Hall</strong><br/><br/>As the others got to work on the keypad -- Ricky didn't know the code, and he sure as hell wasn't desperate enough to guess -- the bouncer set his back against the brick wall and eyed the approaching zombies, ready to shoot any that got too curious.  Especially that fuckin' watcher.  He fought the urge to glance at the keypad whenever someone failed.  They had their job, he had his.<br/><br/>After the longest minute in Ricky's life, Lauren finally put in the right code.  He felt the vibrations from the opening door through the wall.<br/><br/><em>"Warning.  Warning.  Biohazard detected, initiating lock sequence."</em><br/><br/>"Fuck!" Ricky replied, kicking the wall with the heel of his foot.  He quickly stepped near the doorway, gun still trained on the zombies.  Some were close.  Too close.  The watcher was still hanging out in the distance with his fucking sniper rifle.  Watching.  "Fuck you motherfucker," Ricky whispered.<br/><br/>After the last person made it through the shrinking opening, Ricky began to follow.  He paused, looked back at the watcher, and then raised his pistol.  As he ducked through the doorway, he fired off two shots.  It would take a lot of luck to score a hit, but at least he'd be showing that fucker that he meant business.<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote">Quote</div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">Shot #1 (Impossible): 14 - 1 - 3 - 1 = 9 ((Rolled 3, no joy))<br/>Shot #2 (Impossible): 14 - 1 - 3 - 1 = 9 ((Rolled 9, HIT!))</blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>Ricky was too far away to see if he even hit the undead bastard.  He ducked through the doorway and then ran up the hallway.  Some of the zombies might be able to get inside before the door closed, and he didn't want to be too close to them if they did.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Inventory and Character Status</div><div class="spoiler_body"><strong>Inventory:</strong><br/><span class="bbc_u">POCKETS</span><br/>1.)
