Bendy rolled to the side as another shower of bullets peppered the door behind him with holes. He dashed forward, intending to wreck her face with a well-placed punch, but but the barista raised her shotgun up to block the blow. Using her weapon as leverage, she knocked the imp onto his back, giving her time to reload.
Sounds of commotion were beginning to grow apparent as the inky monster rose to his feet; the noise of a gun had to have been attracting concerned bystanders. He needed to block off the entrances, he realized as another shotgun blast was aimed his way. This time bits of shrapnel found their way into his body, leaving him to cringe at the sudden pain. But he had to muscle through the agony and find a way to isolate himself and his quarry before he was surrounded.
The chairs quickly came to mind as he searched for a solution. But the main door was a pair of knobless slats much like one would find in a western saloon, so he needed something... bigger. Bendy launched out a hand to grab one of the tables as his target prepared her next shot. With his grip secure, he haphazardly flung the piece of furniture into place in front of the door. It collided with a loud "thunk," but otherwise remained intact as it dropped to the floor and accepted its new life as a barricade. Okay, that was one entrance down, but what about the rest? There were the windows, but they had to be locked-- especially when the tavern had been closing up for the night-- and the other exit had to be for emergencies, so he had his bases covered for now. ...At least, until someone decided to shatter the glass.
Now it was time to deal with the woman in front of him. She stared at the impromptu blockade and scowled, reloading her gun. "You think you're clever, don't you?"
"Why, yes, I think so!" he replied, an absurd plan coming to mind as he watched her weapon bob in sync with her breathing. If he wanted to put it into action, however, he needed to get in close, and he certainly couldn't do that when she had a full clip. And people were freaking out outside and trying to break the door open, so he needed to do it fast.
He dashed in, but juked to the left as she fired, successfully baiting out a spray of bullets as he drew closer. He carefully manipulated his movement so he arrived in front of the counter just as the bartender had another shot up and ready. He hopped on top of the counter, preparing to lunge, when the woman turned and shot him square in the chest.
Right where the demon had formed a hole. The sheer look of panic and confusion on her face was worth it, even though it wasn't visible for long as she was promptly knocked out by a well-aimed bottle to the head. She collapsed to the ground, surrounded by glass and liquor. Bendy adjusted his size somewhat so he could comfortably sling his prize over his shoulder and hold a drink in his hand as he began to back out to the "employees only" room.
But it was then and there the barricade finally collapsed, flooding the front of the bar with a sea of worried onlookers, headed by a group of guards. "Stop!" they shouted, leveling bayonets towards the monster. "Stop or we'll have to use lethal force!"
Instead of stopping, he chose to bust down the emergency exit, barreling out the back door and into an alleyway. He ran into the back streets, scanning the protective wall surrounding the city for any sign of his buddy Boris. He eventually located the wolf and shouted up at him. "Hey! Quickly! Take her!" Bendy extended his arms to the top of the fortification so the lupine could claim his quarry. Boris accepted the hostage, albeit nervously.
"What if she wakes up?"
"Just hit her in the head again! You know where to take her!"
And with that, the wolf descended the climb. Biting down on the neck of the bottle so he could use his other hand, Bendy hoisted himself up to the top of the barricade. He took a moment to convert the bottle into Omnilium, then perched on the wall to watch the street he had just escaped from.
After all, he had one more trophy to claim.
