That shot was from Jacob, who had taken a pistol from the Annex, and was now pointing it at the creature, who seemed unaffected by the wound on its leg. It took a step towards the group and began shooting large amounts of black energy out of his hands.
"Oh come on! How come every bloody thing we fight can do magic, it ain't fair" Ezekiel yelled and drew his own weapon, some form of gun that Jenkins had re-engineered. The fight was now occurring in the main room of the kindergarten and as the team retreated to get a better vantage point, they had to dodge the knee height tables used by the small children. Fear Dubh was now moving towards the centre of the room, completely oblivious to the gunfire that was being launched at him. The team, now hiding behind a turned up table, began to discuss strategy.
"The myths around this guy are so undetailed there is barely any information on him, in any version. I have no idea how one would kill him" Flynn began to rant, and he started to stand up, but Eve quickly put a hand on his shoulder and kept him firmly planted to the ground. "Any ideas Ezekiel, you started this."
"You can't kill Slenderman, it just doesn't work" Ezekiel began to explain. All the others turned to him with various looks on their faces ranging from anger (Stone) to confusion (Cassandra). "I mean in the games, there is no way to kill him, you just try to outrun him. People discuss on forums all the time, there is no way to kill him. But this isn't Slendy, it's your fear whatcha-ma-call-him, you are the expert."
Flynn forgot where he was again and tried to stand up, but this time Eve was ready and stopped him before he could even begin to push himself from the floor.
"You are trying to get killed aren't you?" She said to him, a slightly mocking tone in her voice. "How about we share the lightbulb without being on our feet."
Flynn glared at her, but his eyes were full of endearment. "Fire. This creature haunts in woods. Woods burn. It's worth a shot." He looked over at his wife with hope in his eyes. "Any ideas?" He asked her.
"I just might have a few" She smiled at him and shifted into her colonel persona. "Now, we don't want to set the whole place alight, because we don't know where the children are, and we already know there are four kids in that office, terrified. So, how do we set him alight without causing damage to the place?" She asked them.
"Backdoor! We force him through the back door to somewhere where we can't hurt anyone." Cassandra suggested. "Theoretically Jenkins can do it."
Eve immediately picked up the phone and told Jenkins what she needed. After what everyone could tell was a few unhappy grumbles from the caretaker, Eve hung up the phone. "He says he can't do it, but he'll try. He told me to hold Fear whatever-"
"Dubh" Flynn interjected.
"Whatever. Off for a few minutes to give him a chance to figure out if he can do it, and he'll get back to us." A few minutes later the door to the second office was a glowing doorway of blue light. "I guess that is our cue. Cover me." She looked at Jacob as she said it. "Give me a chance to check out the scene first, make sure Jenkins succeeded." She began running towards the doorway at full speed, barely hearing the gunshots that were flying over her head.
