There was no pause, Kalli moved through the lower level of the building, once more passing by a tight hallway of dull scenery. Such walls that would bore even the most creative minds, pure grey mixed with a wooden floorboard. However, the boring scenery was the least to be criticized- for the floors creaked loudly, exposing the movement below (and for the gangsters- above). "We know you're up there!" The leader, the young yet confident man. "We'll just shoot you in the head, no point in fighting, not like its worth anything to primes like yourself!" He would yell again, the floorboards below creaking louder as more and more rushed upwards. Slowing in her pace, Kalli's equipment stopped clattering, as well as her footsteps becoming delicate. She waited in the middle of the hall, the staircase to her right which was protected by a railing. She aimed at the staircase silently, pointing down at the railing and between the bars which held it up.
Suspense was put off, suppressed in her mind, aim easing and ears open, eyes active, she waited for the slightest sign of one of the numerous hostiles that were after her. There was a lot of regret that affected her however, leaving was a solid oppertunity, one where she could've just done at any time. But instead this criminal activity became her problem, hopefully this would easily be solved in a matter of a few bullets. Preferably, those bullets wouldn't be anywhere close to her.
The cloth of the hood came into view, soon stained with red as the man tumbled back down the steps and at the bottom, to which the many other gangsters took as a sign to open fire upward. As bullets pierced through wood and bounced off stone, Kalli silently backed away. However, their trigger fingers would not halt, with a few orders shouted over the gunfire, bullets soon began the pierce the floor she stood on. Rushing backward, Kalli quickly began to move back up the steps, in which she could hear her enemies soon follow. Once she had reached the next hallway above, the light from a doorless room shined through- quietly moving over, she entered, staring outside back down onto the streets below.
The amount of people outside was hard to believe, whole packs of individuals standing around their vehicles, armed. Looking straight upward at where the gunshots echoed. They were rather calm unlike those she was currently retreating from. "What are they waiting for?" She got caught up in pondering, the voice and footsteps of her pursuer breaking her thought process. Moving back toward the doorway- and not daring to look around the corner -she pointed her gun around the corner, pulling the trigger and releasing as many bullets as she could from the semi-automatic rifle. There was little noise once she stopped, no thudding, no footsteps, just the whistle of the wind from the window.
The silence was followed by loud laughter and taunting. Her curiosity why was easily answered, none of them had even arrived on her level, instead there were just bullet holes at the end of the hall. If she had teeth, she would be gritting them as insults poured from the level below. "Alright assholes." Kalli muttered, taking the gun's magazine and checking the bullets "Lets see you actually get up here." slamming the magazine back into the gun, she looked upward- a grenade bounced right off the wall and rolled towards her. If anger hadn't clouded her self preservation, she would've hid back into the room. But, instead, she took the grenade as she ran down the hall, threw it down the staircase and fire down at the group of criminals twice before the grenade went off.
Following the explosion, she charged downward, the blood coating the walls and floor- the few who had acknowledged the grenade and taken cover via diving away were shot in a instant. More blood and screams came from the hallway as she walked on through, a emotionless experience where her mind would only acknowledge those whom were a threat and those who were dead. Dust rained down from the ceiling and crept off from the walls, the grenade having shook much of the room, leaving a some coughing for those still alive. Pulling the trigger on another injured man, she looked over towards the last one alive in the hall, whom was crawling away in a panic, but the wounds pulling him down. Grabbing him and pulling him up by one arm, she forced the man against the wall.
"I'm not saying anything, bitch." He said, barely keeping consciousness as he spat blood at her. Kalli then grabbed him by the throat with both talons, dragging him along as blood trailed down the steps, his own legs doing little work as she continued to drag him along. The stairs kept going downward, before getting into a apartment lobby-like area. Dragging the man toward the door, she threw him outside, watching as the more well armed and experienced gangsters stared in silence. She could properly see their equipment now, military vests, unkempt with disorganized uniforms like her previous foes, but they covered their faces with riot helmets. Clearly, they had talent with stealing or deep connections.
"I'm tired of killing your lackeys, dealing with your attack dogs and getting shot in the back. How about you actually fight me instead of hiding behind walls that you very well know will die!" She stared at them, expecting for that same, confident leader to come forth. And he did, yet barely recognizable behind all the kevlar. "You want a fight? Alrighty then-" a light machine gun was handed to him from the crowd. "Fire at will!" He yelled out, in which Kalli quickly rolled back into cover behind a wall. "Not this song and dance again." Was her thought as she pulled out her rifle again, once again ready to fight.
