[QUOTE="talien, post: 4448807, member: 3285"] [b]Closed Casket: Part 4a – Magic Time[/b] Jim-Bean patched up Hammer as best he could. Then he dragged him out to the truck. He turned the key. After a moment the truck started. “All right, time to get the hell out of here. Hang on Hammer, this might get bumpy.” His companion groaned. Hammer was in shock from the blood loss, but he clutched both of his pistols as if his life depended on it. The truck lurched forward. Jim-Bean gunned it. He caught a brief glimpse of something that looked like a dinosaur’s spiked tail snaked across the road and then the tires blew out. Jim-Bean struggled to control the wheel. “Damn it, not again!” The car’s tires shrieked as he drove on just the rims. Something thumped in the back of the pickup truck. Without looking, Jim-Bean fired his SIG over his shoulder. There was another thump on the roof. Jim-Bean slammed on the brakes and whatever was on the roof bounced off the hood and into the road. The thing slowly rose up, swinging a spiked chain overhead. It had a cleft lip and malformed jaw. With a crash, the spiked chain smashed through the windshield. Jim-Bean fired a few shots back at him. The chain caught hold of the cracked windshield and was torn clean off. The chain snapped towards the front of the truck again; this time it slapped around the side of the windshield and dug into Hammer’s shoulder. He groaned in pain. “Son of a…” The chain went taut as the thing outside of the car pulled hard. Hammer screamed as he was dragged halfway out the front of the car. “Gun beats whip,” said Jim-Bean. He fired at the chain wielding mutant, but it snapped the chain back and rolled out of the way. Hammer howled as the chain tore out a chunk of his shoulder. Jim-Bean clawed Hammer back into the cab. “Don’t worry Hammer, I won’t let ‘em kill you.” “I don’t think…” he gasped, “they want to kill us.” Jim-Bean peeked over the dashboard. “Tell that to the freak with the magnum.” He ducked as a bullet hole punched through the dashboard, through the driver’s seat, and out the back of the cab. “You saw…” rasped Hammer, “what they did…to that girl.” “That’s not gonna happen to you mate, not while I’m on the job.” He blindly fired his SIG over the dashboard and then reloaded. “Besides, I taste terrible.” There was a roar followed by the shriek of metal as an axe tore through the passenger’s side door. The entire door came off its hinges to reveal a deformed, bald giant with a child’s face. A thick, primal cruelty snapped in his asymmetrical, protruding eyes. His large smile revealed pointy shark-like teeth. With another roar, the giant grabbed Hammer by the ankle and tore him out of the truck cab. Jim-Beam aimed his SIG, but the other cannibal forced him down further into the cab with cover fire from his magnum. The giant giggled as it dragged Hammer through the dirt. The agent twisted and brought both Glocks to bear at the giant’s head. It cocked its head at him like a curious dog. Hammer held both triggers down. The grip on his ankle twitched several times, then released. Hammer closed his eyes, barely holding on. Then the chain whistled overhead, snagging his leg. The cannibal mutant started dragging the chain back towards him, arm over and over arm. From the cab, Jim-Bean took careful aim and fired at the chain. It snapped in half. The thing holding the chain fell backwards and scrambled into the darkness. “Well,” said Jim-Bean after a moment. “I guess we’re going to stay here for a little while.” [/QUOTE]
