Chapter 5 by Storm Chyld Storm Chyld

Does Vincent make a run for it?

Run for it.

Vincent turned and dashed into a nearby alley, as the cop car came hurtling toward the scene. Like the other vehicles he had seen, it was some sort of futuristic sports car. Dashing down the dark street, he heard the car come to screeching halt near the mouth of the alley, and was certain they had seen him.

Bursting out the other side of the alley, he looked around for an escape. Just across from him was a hospital, with a full parking lot. If he wove between the vehicles he could make it inside and loose them there. Cops, if that's what they were, wouldn't shoot for fear of civilians casualties.

Sprinting at full tilt into the parking lot, he lowered his torso, and tried to keep himself behind the vehicles. He heard the stomping boots of the armored enforcers following him, but was certain he could out run them in that clunky ass armor of theirs. Weaving between the parked cars, and trying to keep a low profile was slowing him down, but he managed to keep ahead of them, as he made the last dash through the entryway.

Bursting into the lobby, he saw people look up at him in surprise. Their garb was a little different, almost uniform in appearance, with the exception of color which ranged from dark to light. A nurse dressed in white stood up to ask if she could help him, when someone saw the gun.

Screams ensued, and Vincent needed to get going, before the enforcers chasing him, caught up to him. Bolting down the hallway beyond the nurses station, the soldier began looking for an exit. Suddenly the distinctive sound of their guns bellowed through the halls, and new screams joined the first ones. As he dashed right by a patient in a blue gown, Vince watched the man get riddled with holes.

Hitting an intersection he turned and ducked down a perpendicular hall trying to get out of the line of fire. Who ever the fuck these guys were, they weren't above shooting innocent bystanders to get him. He didn't like the idea of them shooting with all these civilians around, but he also didn't want to die. Which meant he needed to either escape the hospital or make a stand.

Fight or flight?
