Time To Go Loud

I went over to the dead guy and grabbed the energy rifle that he had dropped and rummaged through his vest to pick up the spare energy cells for the gun as well.

Since I was going in loud, I needed as much firepower as I could possibly get.

Strapping the energy rifle to my back, I started to run down the stairs right as shouts came from around the corner.

Damn… I was actually hoping he might be bluffing but he was really serious about raising the alarm…

I brought up my ballistic rifle to watch the corner as I continued my descent.

The sound of footsteps coming up the stairs caused me to pause and focus my aim on the corner, waiting for the person to appear.

I did not have to wait long before someone sprinted around the corner with his rifle held close to his body. He didn't even bother to slow down to check the corner, completely not expecting me to be there.
