Chapter Three: Corey

The elevator doors open, and I take a quick look outside. I exit the elevator, and I hear footsteps coming from behind a door right next to me. I hide behind it and wait for it to open. The door opens and I tackle the mobster to the ground. He briefly struggles before I start beating his head in. Once he stops breathing, I pick up his bat and move on.

As I walk into the next room, I hear a loud shot behind me. I quickly roll behind cover, to dodge the pellets. I throw the bat at my assailant and it knocks his shotgun out of his hands. I charge towards him but he takes a swing at me with the bat I threw at him. I dodge the attack and one swift punch later, he is unconscious on the ground. I take the shotgun and count the ammo. "Five shots left…" I mutter. I pick up the forgotten bat and execute him.

I hear Mark talking to Tony over the radio, and I ignore them both as soon as Tony insulted Mark.

I continue to move from room to room, clearing each of them in turn. I turn a corner and I am surprised by a heavy mobster running right at me. I hit him in the chest with a pipe I found earlier, but all it did was make him recoil for a second. I quickly retreated into a room I cleared earlier. I pick up a magnum and shoot him twice in the chest, but he continues to follow me. A few seconds later, he starts to cough up blood and falls on the floor. I walk over to him and put another two rounds into his head to make sure he is dead. I discard the magnum and pull out my radio.

"Corey here. I'm about to move up to the roof. I'll see you there."

"Roger." Ash replies.

I put my radio away, and then I start walking back to the elevator. Suddenly, I hear a loud noise and a sharp pain erupts in my abdomen. I close my eyes in pain, and when I reopen them, I see the weird guy from the lobby pointing a smoking magnum right at me. I fall to the ground, and the last thing I hear before I blackout is the man talking.

"I thought Zebras were meant to be fast and agile…"
