Alexey took a step out the door, glancing first to his right before turning to the left to see two officers.
"Citizen!" One of the officers shouted as they both reached for their pistols. The officer began to finish his sentence, but instead let out a garbled, croaking noise from his respirator.
Alexey quickly turned his gun on the next officer before squeezing the trigger, only to hear a loud 'Click'. He didn't waste a moment, turning around and sprinting down the alleyway as fast as he could. He heard the officer frantically calling backup on his radio whilst trying to keep up with the suspect.
"Outbreak! Outbreak! Anti-Citizen is armed, officer down!"
Alexey slammed his shoulder into a door to his left, breaking it down. He ran through the disused apartment building, trying desperately to find a way out of a deteriorating situation. Two bullets flew past his head, hitting a door and sending splinters of wood through the air. Alexey turned around for a moment to see two officers running towards him, guns raised. He had reached the end of the hallway and immediately leapt through the glass door into a stairwell, flattening his back against the wall next to the doorway and grabbing a shard of glass as he did so.
The heavy boots of the officers could be heard running towards the door, firm in the belief that their suspect was still fleeing them at full pace. The first officer kicked open what was left of the door and attempted a left turn down the staircase. Alexey leapt out from the wall and immediately thrust the shard of glass at the officer's throat, creating a deep cut. The officer was pushed against the wall, allowing Alexey deal with the other threat. The other officer swore loudly as his partner desperately gagged for air.
He raised his pistol, but was tackled to the ground before he managed to fire. Alexey had the officer on the floor, punching him in the jaw. The officer tried to lift his gun up, but was stopped when Alexey grabbed his wrist, snapping it to prevent him from grabbing the weapon. Alexey grabbed another shard of glass from the floor with his free hand and stabbed it into the officer's stomach repeatedly, leaving the officer lying on the floor, clutching his stomach.
Alexey grabbed two of the magazines from the officer's belt, reloading his own gun as he ran up the staircase. He went about three floors up before he heard more officers on the ground floor. He ran into the hall, seeing a window at the end of the hallway, with the window from the adjacent building less than a metre from it. He ran down to the end of the hallway, leaping through the window and into the next building, rolling along the hard wooden boards.
The building had the same layout as the last, no doubt a product of soviet-era creativity. Alexey was already on the staircase by the time the officers reached the window. The Civil Protection were in a state of utter confusion, not at all helped by the fact that half the officers in the area had responded to the train station after the explosion. None of the officers knew exactly where Alexey was. The ranking officer on the scene was barking orders to the others, attempting to apprehend the rogue citizen.
"I think he went through the window! Roger that, patrol team two, sweep the building, teams three and four, continue upstairs. Dispatch, we need additional units, we have at least six officers down, do we have any gunships in the area?"
Alexey had gotten down to the ground floor of the building when he heard the front door being kicked down. He quickly took cover behind an old fridge and took in the situation, he was cut off from his thoughts by the sound of the front door crashing down. The officers were shouting to eachother in their scrambled voices, rushing towards the staircase on the other side of the room. Three officers rushed up the staircase, leaving one to guard the entrance. Alexey waited until they were on the second floor before spinning out from the fridge and firing two bullets into the officer, resulting in the tell-tale flatline noise of a dead officer. The officers on the floor above shouted into their radios as they rushed downstairs, but Alexey was nowhere to be found when they reached their dead comrade.
Please review it! Good or bad, I want your opinion!
