Yue held her hand. 'Let's ditch the weapons,' he mouthed to her.
But she anxiously glanced into the passageway. 'I have stuff here.'
'It's too risky..' Yue tightly held her hands.
She just shook her head and ran in.
"Darn it," Yue ran after her. In total darkness, all of his other sense heightened. Subtle smell of sweat and blood, of gunpowder....
He closed his eyes for a second.
A pistol cocking into place.
He swiftly ran, all the while trying his best to keep his steps silent. During open shooting in the dark, it was best to be in the corner and leaned on the walls.
"It's me," Tian suddenly shouted.
"Tian... is that you? Who are you with?" a gruff voice whispered.
"... Friend..." she whispered back.
Yue slightly felt his heart ache. But he understood. He suddenly popped up in front of her, claiming to be her brother.
It might have been a lot to take in for such an independent person as her.
