The Minute who now?

Echo and Dylan, and their new dog friend, searched the gas station for any useful supplies before they went back out on the road. They ran into a little mole rat problem but the three of them made quick work in clearing them out.

As they neared Concord they could hear what sounded like gunfire. The two shared a concerned look before drawing closer to see a group of people shooting at someone up on the balcony of the museum.

Echo looked around before she silently ran for cover and checked the rounds in her .5mm pistol. She peeks over the top of the old destroyed, rusty car and aligns her shot on the first person she could see.

Taking in a deep breath and holding it, she squeezed the trigger and shot the person in the back of the neck.

"Echo what are doing?" Dylan hissed from beside her, having followed her to her cover.

"Helping. Now I'd appreciate it if you also put in your military experience and lend me a hand!" She whisper shouted back at him and shot yet another raider before advancing closer.

The two had helped clear out the raiders who were outside.   They ran up to the doors of the museum only to hear a male's voice shout from the balcony above them, "Quick one of you grab that laser rifle and those charges. I don't know how much longer we can hold them off!"

Echo glances at Dylan before snatching up the rifle and its ammunition and quickly checked to see that it was loaded before she checked the body and got a bit more. She and Dylan shared a nod before quietly entering the museum.

Echo panted slightly while Dylan sounded like he just ran 4 marathons back to back. "Are you really that out of shape?" She whispered to him as they neared a door, and just outside they could hear two more people. One must've been talking to whoever was trapped inside while the other was standing by as backup.

Creeping up to the door, she turned the knob slowly and opened the door. She switched the pulse-rifle out for her pistol and quickly made two headshots, dropping both raiders before she walked down the halls after grabbing any ammunition and a new gun from one of the new corpses.

"You two made some impeccable timing. I wasn't sure how much longer we'd have before the raiders busted down the door." A man who reminded Echo of Woody from Toy Story spoke. "Preston Garvey, I'm with the minutemen."

"The minute-who-now?"
