After the incident, Kristoff exited the room, knowing that the gunshots and crashing sounds would attract more unwanted attention. He walked down the hall cautiously, unfortunately he heard voices coming from the end of the hallway, stopping at a blind corner he slowly poked his head out and saw four men speaking in the hallway and they were all armed. He paid extra attention to the man with the pony tail who was giving the orders, he wasn't sure but he felt like he's seen him before. Then he remembered that he was one of the men in the room where Lord Hurst was shot, he believed his name was Reidar.
"I want you two to go left while we go right." He ordered.
Kristoff listened intently because by knowing where they were going he could avoid them, unfortunately at that very moment Kristoff's sinuses decided to become irritated and he felt a sneeze coming on.
"Oh no not now." He thought to himself trying to fight the urge to sneeze.
Unfortunately he loses and sneezes which immediately alerts Reidar and his men.
"What was that?" He demanded.
"Oh crap." Kristoff mentally cursed.
"Over there." One of the men said pointing in Kristoff's direction.
"Oh Crap!" He said.
One of them took out his gun and shot, but luckily Kristoff got out of the way and started running.
"After him." Reidar ordered.
They chased after Kristoff down several hallways while shooting at him. Kristoff did his best not to get shot as well as shooting back. Going further down the hall Kristoff came to the stairs and quickly ran up but he could still hear the men coming for him. After a few minutes he came to a door, he opened it and found that is lead to the roof, looking around he noticed several crates and beams sticking out of the ground and remembered that it was still under construction. Walking outside he saw that he was very high up, he walked to the edge and looked down and saw specks running around the front entrance.
"Good help's here." He said.
However his relief was short lived when a bullet came whizzing by his head, he instinctively duck and hid behind a crate. Peaking over he saw one of the men holding a rifle aimed at him.
"No place to run big guy." He said.
Kristoff knew he was right, no place to run, the best option he was to shoot back, but he knew the second he stood up he'd be filled with bullet holes. But then he noticed a rock and got an idea, he picked it up and threw it sideways, the shooter instinctively shot at it allowing Kristoff to stand up and shoot at him. The shooter went down and Kristoff raced to the body, looking over it he noticed a bag. Rummaging through it, he was surprised to see that it wasn't guns or ammo, but sticks of dynamite.
"What were you planning on doing with these?" He asked.
He swung the bag over his shoulder and quickly ran down the stairs, when he got to the bottom he heard the others coming and instantly bolted down another hallway just as they came to stairs. Reidar and his men ran up the stairs and when they got to the roof they found their dead comrade.
"It seems he took the dynamite." One of the men said as he searched the body.
"Johan isn't going to like that." Reidar said.
"Umm sir, you might want to see this." The other said while standing near the ledge.
Reidar went to the ledge and saw that the guards were organizing around the front entrance.
"Damn Johan isn't going to like that either." Reidar said.
"What do we do?" He asked.
"Report to Johan, the mountain man isn't our main concern." Reidar said.
Reidar and his men left the roof to report to Johan, meanwhile Adolf was organizing the guards and were getting ready to storm the entrance.
"Alright I want three groups, on the left, on the right and in the middle." He said.
"Yes sir." One of the guards said.
All the guards scrambled to their respective positions as Adolf directed them, meanwhile back inside things were not getting aby better, many of the hostages were getting very anxious, in fact some of them were starting to freak out, luckily Elsa and Anna were keeping it together. Elsewhere, Johan and several of his men including Reidar were in a private room and even though Reidar informed him about the situation, he seemed very calm, although the same could not be said for some of his subordinates, one of whom was pacing around room.
"Okay what do we do, WHAT do we do?" He asked.
"Would you stop pacing round like an idiot?" Reidar asked.
"I can't help it, every soldier in town is right outside the door!" He yelled.
"Everyone calm down." Johan said.
All of his men stopped talking and even the guy who was pacing stopped and stood still.
"Now this is no time to fall apart, we knew that sooner or later the guards would react to our presence, they just seemed to react quicker than we would have liked." He said.
"So what do we do then?" One of the men asked.
"What we do gentlemen is to stick to the plan, Henrik is still trying to open the vault so we need to buy ourselves a little time." Johan explained.
"How, all the dynamite was stolen by the mountain man!" Another one exclaimed.
"Oh don't worry I've brought a plan B, but in the meantime I want you too to find that mountain man and get the dynamite back. Reidar I want you find Gunnar and Magnus and tell them to give our guests a proper welcome." He ordered.
All the men dispersed and went to perform their separate duties, a few levels up two men were sitting near a large crate looking bored.
"How much longer do we have to sit here?" One man asked.
"When the job is over or when Johan needs us." The other said.
"What will he need us for exactly?" He asked.
"We are here as support if things get out of hand." The other explained.
"And when do you think that will happen?" He asked.
Before he could respond the door opened and Reidar came in.
"Both of you get to the front entrance and bring the crate." He said as he left the room.
The second after he left the two men looked at each other.
"Right about now." The other responded.
Both men got up and grabbed both sides of the crate and moved as fast as they could to the lobby. Meanwhile outside the guards were getting ready to storm the front door.
"When I give the signal we bust down the doors everyone got that?" Adolf asked.
"Yes sir." All the guards said.
Inside the lobby, Gunnar and Magnus had finally made it, after putting down the box they opened it and pulled out plan B. Which is a large 10 barreled Gatling gun, they pulled it out, mounted it and loaded the bullets. Gunnar got behind the gun while Magnus got hold of the hand crank. Outside the guards went up to the door and got ready as Adolf prepared to give the signal.
"Okay, three, two…" He started.
However before he could finish the two opened fire with the gun and the bullets started ripping right through the door. Luckily many of the guards including Adolf managed to jump out of the way but some weren't as lucky and got hit.
"Everyone get to cover!" Adolf yelled.
The bullets kept flying as everyone ducked for cover, Kristoff meanwhile was watching this from an upper level through the window and he did not like what he saw.
"Oh no no no no NO!" he shouted.
He watched helplessly as all the people below him scrambled to find cover.
"I got to do something but what?" He asked himself.
Looking around for anything that could help he spotted something that caught his eye, it was dumbwaiter. Instantly he ran over to it and slid up the small door, he looked down the shaft and saw that it went from the lobby to the top floor. He could hear the sounds of the gunfire coming from below and then he instantly came up with an idea. Opening his bag he took out three sticks of dynamite and tied to fuses together, he then took out a match and lit it.
"Special delivery." He said.
He lit the fuses and quickly threw the dynamite down the shaft and instantly took cover. Down in the lobby the two men were still firing, however they didn't notice smoke coming out of the dumbwaiter until after a few seconds when Magnus noticed the smoke.
"Hey Gunnar, what's that?" He asked.
Gunnar stopped shooting for a second to look and seeing the smoke he unfortunately did not have time to react when the dynamite went off and a large explosion erupted and engulfed the entire room as well as both men and the gun. Outside Adolf and his men were still in cover when all of a sudden the front entrance blew up sending debris everywhere. Kristoff who was ducked down covered his head as smoke quickly shot out of the dumbwaiter. After a few seconds the smoke cleared and he got up. Looking at the charred dumbwaiter he sighed.
"I hoped you liked it." He said.
