Reload!

Cameron's all engaged with one of the monsters, and the other is just barely recovering. You only have one bullet left in your only weapon, so it's definitely worth trying to get back up to five shots again. Otherwise, how are you gonna help?

You take a half step back and plant your weight onto that foot, squelching the gravel road slightly as your free hand dives deep into your pants pocket where all of your loose bullets are kept. Your fingers fumble around, trying to get a good hold on the right amount of shots and to not let any fall out when you pull your hand free.

Unfortunately, your bullet storage system isn't as effective as you were maybe hoping for, and you severely underestimated how tough these crazy monsters are. Even though it just lost an arm, before you've even pulled out a handful of loose jingling bullets from your pocket to load up, it's already fully recovered and shaking its head to focus back up. As you pull your fist of impact rounds out and take one round into your thumb and forefinger, to load the pistol through its muzzle, the monster is already rushing towards you at the same rapid speeds it was clocking before. Rats! You don't have time!

You shove your handful of bullets back into your pocket and raise up your targe shield, hiding behind it and preparing for the attack that you know is about to land on you. Hopefully you'll be able to make that last explosive shot count...
