It's Gwen, and she has 'Friends'

“I told you already! It’s just me! Ow, stop! Please!” The sounds coming from outside were unmistakably Gwen, and it didn’t sound like she was alone. Lea pulls the knife from your throat, and motions with it to the corner of the garage. You walk in that direction and notice a small ladder to the roof. You scale it as quickly as you can, and lift the hatch quietly. Sunlight pours in, and as you look back into the now illuminated room to see if Lea is following, you notice her getting back into the sleeping bag. This was either an **** show of trust to create a trap, or Lea was already so fed up with you she was willing to take her chances with Gwen’s ‘friends’.

Either way this turns out, you weren’t ready to just abandon your new group so quickly.

“It’s okay baby, we’ll figure out what you’re hiding soon enough, and maybe then we’ll have some fun with them too!” You hear a chorus of laughter just on the other side of the wall. Three short steps, and you can see that there are four men, surrounding Gwen as they approach the door. One is grabbing her by the hair, and you guess by the way that the other men look at him, and that he is the only one in a jacket, while the others are in T-shirts, that he is the leader of the group. All four of them have drawn their handguns, and you guess that if Gwen hadn’t been screaming her head off, this situation could have turned out much differently.

You scan the alley for more guys incase they anticipated an ambush, but don’t see any motion other than a cardboard box shaking in the wind. It takes a moment for you to realize why that was out of place, but something about the shaking pattern, and lack of wind tell you something is up. The pattern of movement leads you to believe that whatever is inside is just scared. On top of that, the angle of the box is such that they won’t be able to see what happens by the entrance to the garage.

Shifting your attention back to the four men, it appears they are getting ready to break down the door. The leader has placed Gwen in front of him as a body shield, and is on the right side of the door. One of the other men is behind him, while the remaining two are on the opposite side of the door. You pull the gun you had been saving in the waistband of your pants, and prepare yourself to move.
