Cross immediately took cover, and watched the sniper, walk slowly down the alleyway toward him. The man was dressed in camo pants, and a fishnet tank top, showing of his lanky frame. The sniper rifle, was the only weapon he was carrying. Good from a far, but not the best weapon up close. Not that a knife was the better option.

“Fucking hell, why did I get stuck on patrol.” The sniper complained to himself, content to believe he was alone. Sloppy. But as the town probably didn’t get many visitors, he probably lost most of his keen edge.

“Man, I cant believe this town only has the one guy in it. Doctor could come in handy though.” The man muttered coming closer. This wasn't a town guard. This was a bandit, and they had taken over the town. A town with only one person left to it. Now that Alex knew the situation, he had to choose the best course of action. A gun would be very useful, in a town filled with bandits. Surprise would also be of benefit to him, he needed to stay below the radar.
