"These men were here to kill you." John said in a stiff tone. He walked around the bed and shot the man once more for good measure. He then reached into his back pocket and handed his partner four extra clips for her sidearm. "You will need these." The total ammo count of the four clips was roughly 65 bullets. Considering a police officer normally carries anywhere from 15 to 20 bullets with them this was no small number of deadly objects to be handing. "I wasn't exaggerating when i said we need to leave now." John bent down next to the twice shot criminal and opened his jacket which showed he was wearing a thermal jacket. He then grabbed the mans arms and after closing the bedroom door propped the body against it and locked the door.

"In thirty-two seconds five men with enough weapons to take over a small country will breach into your apartment and kill us. I plan for them to be too late." John grabbed Josephine's upper arm and brought her to the fire escape. Though normally it is difficult to unlock the emergency lock that stopped people from carelessly using the fire elevator as a quick shortcut down to the street John found all the tools needed to get down in the bedroom. He pulled his weapon up and fired once more into the unknown corpse. The bullet struck the thermal jackets regulator box causing the entire vest to activate. Within a half second the magnesium lining burst into flames burning at nearly 2000 degrees. The door and floor caught fire almost just as quickly.

The automatic voice continued to repeat; however, John had already gotten into the elevator with Josephine. The doors closed and the elevator began to decent. John knew that a slew of curse words about how he had just condemned everything in the apartment to a fiery death from his partner. He also knew that interrupting her before she asked the question was an excellent way to get her even more upset. Still he didn't care to waste time and also wasn't a fan of letting her use him as a verbal and literal punching bag. "The first thing they were going to do was use their own thermal grenade to clear the living room. No matter had I started the fire or not everything in your apartment was already gone."

The elevator door opened as the reached the alley. Other elevators were beginning to descend as the entire building was beginning to be evacuated. "Two will come from the right corner in five seconds. Watch out for the people running out of their elevator in seven seconds the gunfire will cause them to panic and run towards us." John said as he started making his way towards the drivers side of the vehicle he had earlier stolen and shot. On cue two heavily armed people came around the corner in a slightly crouched motion. They hadn't identified John or Josephine as they began to quickly move along the wall. John got into the car and waited for Josephine.
