And quite suddenly he was under attack. It wouldn't be as alarming if it wasn't being done from both sides, but despite this worrisome detail the only change in the boy's demeanor was his widening eyes as he began to fall. With his descent, yet another gunshot-- this one a wild shot-- broke through the silence of the room as the boy attempted to aim at the female patient assaulting him.

How well the shot went was entirely unknown. The backwards fall was definitely not part of the plans.

Grasping at straws for what to do, the boy pressed the hot muzzle of the gun into the male assaulter's leg and, making a quick decision to retreat, disappeared into thin air only to reappear in one of the room's corners shrouded in darkness.

He had underestimated these patients. Foolish.

Back to the drawing board.
