Vanessa just stood back and observed the men doing their things while looking after the scythe. Suddenly, she heard a gunshot coming from the entrance and saw Gaz getting shot on his hand. She turned towards the entrance the gun was fired but saw no one, she was caught off guard by the shot but she was unfazed. She knew there was no backup, at least not one with a significant number of Rebels or else they would've rushed in. 

The Enforcers were in position by the door, likewise the assailant was probably outside, waiting to ambush whoever exits the building to confront him. Now they have to play the waiting game, for whoever moves first loses. Vanessa handed the scythe to a nearby Enforcer and unsheathed her own sword. "Whoever is out there, back off. Assaulting an Enforcer is a criminal offence, but luckily for you we have more pressing matters right now. Leave, and we'll spare you this time." demanded Vanessa.

Not waiting for a reply, Vanessa climbed up the building and peered through a window, hoping to get a better view of the whole scenario. She could barely make out a lone figure hiding in the shadows, it had to be the assailant.
