Ren loaded more bullets as he went down the hallway. The place seems deserted and not very grand but quite clean. Every door he opened revealed no one. Cursing Lory and the man softly, ran further. There were many floors. Taking a bend near the end of the hallway, he found a rickety old staircase.
Pausing for a moment, he climbed to the next floor. Realizing it was the final floor, he searched more vigorously. There were just two rooms.
The first one was empty.
He went for the final room. She, whoever it was, had to be here.
He opened the only to be almost stabbed with a knife as large as the man below had. Fast reflexes saved him in the nick of time as he sidestepped the attacker, making her crash to the floor.
"Stay away from me!" she yelled holding the knife in front of her.
'What is with these people and knives?' Ren sighed softly.
