[QUOTE="talien, post: 4790992, member: 3285"] [b]Wild Hunt: Part 10 – …Desperate Measures[/b] The three agents staked out the policewoman, who walked down the alley as bait. “You think this is actually going to work?” asked Archive. “If this killer is intelligent, would he really fall for this?” “It doesn’t seem to be afraid of anything,” said Hammer. “But no, I don’t think this will work.” “At least it will buy us some time to get a fix on him,” said Jim-Bean, staring through his binoculars at the alley across the street. “Those poor bastards don’t have a chance.” Archive looked curiously at Jim-Bean. “Since when did you become so casual about sacrificing people?” “Sacrificing people is right.” Jim-Bean lowered his binoculars. “We’re all that stands between total chaos and reality as we know it.” He laughed a bitter laugh. “If we have to sacrifice a ten or twenty people to save a thousand, so be it.” “He’s right. We’re doing this for the greater good.” Hammer pursed his lips. “When did we become so cold?” Jim-Bean lifted the binoculars again. “When I became the discarded class project of an alien research lab.” Suddenly their cistrons crackled with warnings. The agents were sitting in their Civic across from the alley. Jim-Bean lowered his binoculars. “It’s him.” “Go, go, go!” came the command across the police channel. Four police cars blocked both ends of the alley. Eight SWAT team members, Bill Mayham, and Captain Matheson charged into the alley. “Give me your pistols,” said Archive. Jim-Bean looked at Archive sideways. “What for?” “[FONT="Impact"]Hello, Captain Matheson,[/FONT]” rasped the killer at the far end of the alley. Matheson responded with “Fire!” Automatic gunfire erupted. It was followed by screams and shouts. “Just give me your pistols damn it!” shouted Archive. Hammer and Jim-Bean dutifully handed over their pistols as Archive inscribed the Elder Sign on each of them with a piece of chalk. Helicopters flew overhead, shining spotlights over the alleyway. The shimmering black overcoat and fedora of the SoHo Killer whirled as he tore through the cops, tossing one here, tearing one in half there. In the spotlight, the killer was momentarily illuminated as its whip-like tongue snaked around Matheson’s throat and lifted him into the air overhead. Then, in cartoon-like fashion, the killer’s maw opened impossibly wide and swallowed the police captain whole. His terrified screamed was choked off as he disappeared into its mouth. There was a momentary pause in the firefight as the cops witnessed their captain eaten swallowed whole before their very eyes. Then the gunfire renewed with vigor. The black-clad figure pointed. And then slowly, with intense purpose, he stalked down the alley, heedless of the attacks of the SWAT team. “I think he just pointed at us,” said Jim-Bean. “We could really use those guns right about now,” said Hammer. Archive was sweating. “Almost…finished. There!” He tossed the enchanted Glocks back to Hammer and Jim-Bean. More screams. The figure tore through a throng of SWAT team members clustered in front of one of the police cruisers. Then it shimmered and warped, stuttering towards them as if in a sped-up film, clearing the distance between them and passing right through the remaining cruiser. All three agents opened fire, but the SoHo Killer was gone. Hammer lowered his Glocks. “Damn.” There was no SWAT team left. Every one of them was dead. [/QUOTE]
