A ghoul isn't a particularly resourceful creature, but it also isn't a particularly courageous one either, and its eyes widen as it watches its companion on the other side of the lawn, with Juno bearing down on it. Seeing its companion bloody, beaten, and leaving it behind, its eyes suddenly dart from the ghoul to Keira to the street finally seeing something its been waiting for - the thing Juno spotted when she came running into the front yard. It's buddy in what has now become a get away car coming his way. This its its only chance. It doesn't have any speed advantage over Kiera, and it doesn't have any clever tricks to get by. Instead, it just has the instinct to run when things get hard. It pushes itself, fear and need driving it, and it barely squeezes by the defense, a swipe of Keira's claws half an inch too late to catch it as it barrels by.And that get away car? A dark Cadillac circa the 1970s, its headlights off, slowly rolls its way down the street toward the house. Both front and back passenger door are slightly ajar, ready for its companions to hop in. And, that's exactly what they do. The ghoul fleeing Malcom and Juno arrives at the car first, pulling open the back door and diving in head first to lay on the back seat. There are visible blood stains left on the door from the monster's oozing shoulder wound down its arm. The door is pulled closed from the inside loudly. The other ghoul is right behind it, this one pulling open the front passenger door and climbing inside.As it sits down in the passenger seat, the window opens. The ghoul slides down in its seat to reveal the driver, by its looks another ghoul in human guise, pointing an SMG in one hand out the window over its fleeing companion's head. That's when things get really loud. The gun lets loose several short bursts of bullets, spraying the lawn, and laying down fire against everyone in the front yard. Dirt and grass are kicked up as Juno ducks behind the tree. Kiera goes flat in her were-form, making herself a difficult target, and bullets fly above her. Logan drops hard on the concrete, getting a few scrapes, but that's better than taking a bullet, even when you're a changeling. The house and lawn take some bullet fire, leaving holes all over the place. Malcom, thankfully, is in the back yard and wasn't in the area of the spray.As soon as the bullets subside, the engine of the Cadillac roars to life, its headlights turning on, and the car starts to accelerate down the small residential street.Lights start to turn on in surrounding houses, and you can see peeking from behind closed curtains. It's doubtful that this neighborhood is accustomed to gun fire in any way, especially automatic fire.</blockquote>
