Niikura hastily reloaded one of the guns as he watched Mike slip into the house, eyes darting around the vicinity to catch the shape of someone unwanted nearby. Man, this thing was not going to plan at all...sure was more exciting than he'd thought it was going to be, though.
He sighed in relief when he saw the turtle exit the building and nod up at him. That was two down, just like that. This was going to be a snap; all they needed was one more person, and they'd be able to jet out of here in no time at all.
"MONSTER, THERE'S A MONSTER!"
In retrospect, he'd been counting his chickens before they hatched, or however that Western saying went. Really, he should've known or at least suspected that their ridiculous luck had not yet had the last word.
"You've gotta be kidding me..." Niikura lowered the tranquilizer gun and groaned as he watched the man sprint off into the darkness. There went any possibility of having a quiet evening. Still grumbling, he slid back down onto the ground and then mentally kicked himself in the face as immediately, all the lights in the houses around him turned on and people began flooding out, pitchforks and all.
Are you kidding me? Okay, he took back everything he'd said about these people not really understanding their situation.
"Hey! You there! Back off!"
He threw himself against the side of the building just as a bullet screamed through the space where his head had been not more than a few seconds ago. "Shit!" Niikura cursed under his breath and started running, not even pausing when another bullet grazed his shoulder. "Go!" he yelled at Mike as he approached, blood beginning to stain the blue of his uniform. "We need to get this over with! That guy...he's on his own...JUST GET HIM."
They'd worry about the specifics later; he figured that winging things was something within both of their reaches. Right, he just really wanted to get out of range.
