Head back to the hotel!” you shout at Emily. You still have the professor by the collar and drag him after you. You fire a few shots in the direction of the gunman, more for suppression than hoping to actually hit him.

A vicious volley of shots answers in return. The weight of the professor stops you dead in your tracks. You look behind you and see that the professor is lying face down, puddle of blood slowly spreading from underneath him.

You let go of his collar, ducking behind a pillar for cover.

Emily is frozen in shock, staring at her Grandfather.

“Move!” you scream at her. She shudders and continues to run for the safety of the hotel. You take aim up the road, waiting for the gunman to fire again. As he sticks his head out from the cover of his car door, you fire a couple of shots. He immediately drops behind the door, you can see his weapon next to him on the tar road where he dropped it.

The sound of sirens are drawing closer. You place the weapon on the ground and rush over to Kate. She is a lot of pain and you try to stop the bleeding by compressing the wound.

“You need to get out of here and to the university!” she manages through gritted teeth. “My friends are on their way, they should be here before the police arrive.”

“I’m not leaving you.”

The sound of screeching tires distracts you and you see a van skid to an abrupt halt in front of you.

“Get in!” a man shouts. “Hurry!”
