Billy reaches into his Tommy gun bag just as Red Tail lands a punch to the guy's jaw.  Before it can be determined if he's knocked out, stunned, or otherwise unharmed; Billy's Tommy gun fires 5 rounds.  The first three hit the guy in the chest, while the other 2 hit a painting off a wall.<br/><br/>Linda leans back in her chair hard enough to knock it back and use it as a protected surface.  Her expert hands retrieve her pistol from her purse, and assess who needs to be put down.  Just then, the man Billy shot at, sinks fast to his knees and falls face forward onto the ground, blood spilling everywhere.  The glass from the shattered window cutting his flesh.<br/><br/>Sami, hit the man with the throwing knives on top of the head with the bottle.  He drops one of his knives but is stunned.  Billy calls off.  “Now, if you hurt either of these fella's, I'll drop you too. Tell me what you want and maybe no one else has to bleed all over this man's floor."<br/><br/>But the man who is behind Mason figures, he has the better stance.  He has a sword to the man's throat, and if he's shot at, Mason may end up headless.  Mason tries to elbow the man to get him to drop his sword, but all that does is get his chin cut.<br/><br/>The man with the knifes tries to gather his thoughts (recovers from being stunned), while the man with the sword backs up with his back against the wall near one of the exits.  Mason is being used as a shield Any shot has a -8 chance of missing the man with the sword and hitting Mason.<br/><br/>(Thus if you shoot and miss, you hit Mason)  He says something in Egyptian.  Mason translates.  “He says drop your weapons or he beheads me.”<br/><br/>
