The crate stack wasn’t the best Montoya could have hoped for when looking for cover, though it was the best in the vicinity. Maybe it was his time in the Middle East with the bright sun and darkened building, but Montoya’s eyes adjusted quickly to the temporary darkness. He noted everything that Durant saw plus several targets. The targets were wearing black clothes and gear, including some light body armor, and carrying possibly MP5’s. Their faces were blackened as well – at least all five that Montoya spotted were. . .
_______________________________________

Shots rang out, inside the hanger from the men on the catwalk. Two shots hit Lt. Dyson, knocking him to the ground. Near misses pegged the crates and the wall behind Stewart, Montoya, and Durant.

Montoya took cover, kneeling behind the crates as he drew his Glock 20 and activated its laser sight. Making sure not to appear near where he disappeared, he leaned around the corner of the crates and opened fire on the nearest black-clad figure. As he fired he called out to Durant and Stewart, "Five of 'em, body armor and SMG's." He continued with terse but accurate directions as to where each was located.

Lucas looks back from the plane's door, only to find half of his companions arming themselves.

Oh hell, something's up... He gets out of his seat and goes over to Andreev, tapping him on the shoulder.

"Umm, maybe I'm just being paranoid, but is something going on? We seem to have sprouted a lot of firearms all of a sudden." He asks, nodding his head in the direction of Leonard and Rylee.

"What do you want me to do? Should I sit still, or get my own rifle?" He fidgets nervously from one foot to the other, still occasionally looking back at the door.

Nodding to Terrell, Lorelai leaned against the doorframe, her hand absently petting Krizzel. So that's why there was such...well...animosity was too strong a word, wasn't it?...between those two. Her dark eyes met his gaze though and she smiled the smile of the hopelessly beguiled. Terrell could do no wrong and if he washed out, then perhaps Durant was the problem!

"Well really...this waiting is getting boring and I'm getting claustrophobic," Lorelai stated as she started down the ramp, her cat in her arms. "I'm sure it'll be ok if I just step out partway."

Durant’s shot found its target, a figure on the catwalk dressed in black, staggering the attack momentarily. The assailants returned fire with Durant almost twisting out of the way of a shot (5 dmg) and Lt. Stewart taking a graze (10 dmg). Montoya ducked around the corner of the crate and seemed to take his target by some surprise, striking the target. Stewart also returned fire, his shot sparking off of the metallic walls sounding loudly. Several small swears were heard from the catwalk above the team.

Lt. Dyson’s cover held for the moment, a bullet actually bouncing off of the cement next to him and bounding away in some unknown direction. Dyson pulled his Beretta and gave Jeremiah a short angry, pained, “I’m fine,” and fired hitting one of his shooters.

Both Montoya and Stewart made notice of the catwalk stairs at the same moment, in the north western corner along the same wall as the crates the group was hiding behind.

OOC: Durant, Grayson, Montoya

As the conversation continued near the back of the cabin, Lorelai made her way down the frail metal ladder/ramp holding Krizzel. After barely her first step onto the ramp, a shot rang out that was clearly heard by both Lorelai and Lt. Terrell. Rylee and Leonard, also near the door to the Lear heard the shot clearly as well – a vicious metal on metal sound. Rylee, with a sharp glance, caught a glimpse of Lorelai making her way out of the jet, though it didn’t appear anyone else had seen her.

Terrell called out quietly but insistently to Lorelai, “Miss, you should stay up here – do you want to get shot? If your still going at least, let me head down first.”

Of those in discussion at the rear of the cabin, only Fisher heard and recognized the sound for what it was, though Lt. Reed raised one of her eyebrows questioningly, as though she thought she heard something.

OOC: Campbell, Donovan, Fallon, Fisher, Nguyen

"$&@#*$%*!!!" Durant cursed at the shot he took. He paused to check the severity of the damage. Not looking too bad, Durant leaned around the corner of crates, staying close to the floor and returned fire. Must be 6 useful guns on the damn plane and three of us getting shot up! But, can't live for fraggin' ever and we gotta keep most of the others alive a while longer. "Anyone see anything useful? I'm kinda stuck on my end. Those bastards got us pinned with their high ground."

Over the echoing metallic sounds of gunfire and ricochets, Montoya cried out, "Cover me. I got stairs over here!" Waiting a moment for Durant and Stewart to provide covering fire, Montoya took a deep breath and sprinted for the stairs, keeping the crates between him and the bad guys for as long as possible.

Damn. Well, here it is. Time for action... Leonard calls out to the people in the back: "Incoming fire, get down!"

He drops to a crouch to get away from the windows, drawing the weapon that he just tucked into his waistband. As he drops he takes Rylee with him, making sure she can't be seen from outside. In his crouching position, he makes his way over to the aisle, trying to get a clear view of the plane and everyone inside. "Everyone okay so far?"

Krizzel exploded out of her arms at the sound of gunfire, taking off running. Though Lorelai didn't understand much of why her cat did things or the bizarre intelligence of said felines (who are sometimes wiser than their owners), she certainly didn't want him hurt so she took off running after him.

"Krizzel! Come back!" she called after him, panicking that she might lose him in this huge airport and heedless of her own danger in the face of her cat's.

Seeing Lorelai go down the ramp, Rylee starts to go after her, to grab her and pull her back. She does not notice Leonard until she suddenly finds herself on the ground, with Lorelai gone down the steps. Immediately, she explodes into a colorful stream of curses, in both English and Gaelic. Violently, she twisted out of Leonard's grip as best she could considering how tired she was, and immediately went for the ramp, sniper rifle in hand. Honestly, Lorelai was supposed to be the intelligent one?!

She paused, crouched at the top of the stairs. Okay.... people shooting, somewhere in there, a lost scientist... she considered simply shooting Lorelai in the leg to keep her from going anywhere, but that would just leave her out in the open and unable to move. "Someone tell Durant his $^%&ing love interest just ran out after her cat!" Then, she considered the distance to the nearest cover, and checked to see if she could see any of the snipers from the stairs.
