A Time Halt Story

When one dialog ends "like this-" that means "the next dialog is interrupting them."
None of my Time Halt stories are related to each other except for the fact of time freezing or unless otherwise mentioned. There are old style guns in the first chapter. I'm not sure why.
Bashir skidded around the corner. His pounding feet betrayed his path and destination.
"Bashir to Defiant!"
Several men with phasers ran around the same corner. Their phaser shots barely missed him as he ducked into the cargo hold. He hid behind some big gray containers in a dark corner.
He pressed his back to them and hit his comm. Again. "Bashir to Defiant! Come In!"
Crash Some of the containers on the top were shot down, and they fell on his head. "Ugh...He kept his voice low while they continued to shot random containers. "Bah-ugh-shir.." blood ran down his forehead and dripped to the floor, "to the Defiant. Rolls and MaKrey are dead. I can't get away."
Another blast and his hiding place was uncovered. He dove towards the door. 'Stupid! I shouldn't have come in here!'
One of the men blocked his path. He ran low across the room as more shots were taken. "SHHHIIIII-" He got hit across the back and went down.
He lay on the ground with smoke coming of his back from his burnt clothes. His hunters came closer at an unhurried pace. Bashir struggled and pulled himself up before crawling behind some cover. He coughed and more blood dripped from his nose.
"Defiant get me out of here now! They will kill me! Defiant!" Bashir had lost his own phaser and so couldn't fight back. The Gest men moved to surround Bashir. They knocked over the few remaining containers. He stared up at them. They stared down at him. The leader aimed his phaser and fired.
