Save the day! Of course!

The man opposite the leader kicks in the door, and the leader rushes in followed quickly by the rest of his men. You hear Lea scream as she plays the part of damsel. You drop down from the roof as quietly as possible, and sneak to the door yourself, gun at the ready.

The two men from the outside of the formation have sort of been funneled by the small vehicle as they attempt to get in. It’s no problem for you to get in two body-shots apiece before ducking back out the doorway for cover. Those two were down for the count. The sound of a grunt and a body dropping leads you to believe that Lea got one of her own, which means that just one was left. You peak your head back in to see what you could do, and find Gwen has stabbed the leader in the eye. She makes some space between her and him, so you shoot him in the other eye, just as lea’s knife finds his heart.

The first move you make after the dust has settled, is to check if any of ‘Gwen’s friends’ are still kicking. The two from the back were both clean shots through the lungs, heart or spine. You check their clothes for anything useful, but other than a spare clip (incompatible with your gun of course), and a faded picture of a young boy, their pockets are empty. Their clothes smell like they haven’t been washed in decades, so you don’t even consider taking those from them.

You continue onto the next guy. Lea managed to shove a knife between the vertebrae in his neck. You are both terrified and slightly aroused by the reminder of her skill with a blade. The only thing this man has is a crucifix hanging from his neck. You pause for a moment to wonder if it did him any good, then shift it past the knife and over his head. It's possible someone might want it for trading. You also skip taking his clothes.

The last man is the one you assumed was the leader. You avoid looking a the damage you had done to his face, and search his pockets and jacket. To your surprise you find a veritable treasure trove compared to the others. The man had three hidden knives, four ammo clips, a second, hidden handgun, a number of MRE's, and a map of the local area with a ton of information written on it. It seems our man was even more paranoid than those around him. Most of his clothes are unusable as well, but his jacket is warmly lined, and not very blood-soaked. You decide to strip it off him since you didn't think the group was well prepared for winter in the city.

As you finish with the bodies, you notice that Lea and Gwen appear to be making up. They are currently sharing a hug, and you think Lea might be crying. You toss your treasures on a box near them, and they break their embrace.

"I'm still pissed you managed to get captured twice in one day, but right now I'm just so fucking happy you're home," Lea kisses Gwen hard on the mouth, and you think that Gwen might be struggling a bit before Lea breaks the kiss.

"About that.." Gwen looks at you, and then back to Lea. She takes Lea's hand and pulls her over the bodies and back out to the alley. You merely follow. You wanted to be a witness to whatever was about to go down. "I found something right before I was found by them..." Gwen stops right in front of the still shaking box. Your curiosity is now starting to peak.
