Bingo. He couldn't afford to linger here for long. Who else could be nearby, looking for easy targets to pick off? He was in the open, exposed, and the shotgun now rested off to the side. He saw Zubin reach for the gun and pinned his wrist to the ground as he kicked the gun away with his foot, then ...

Matt took the kick in the thigh and cringed. It wasn't too bad, given that Zubin was fucking tiny, but it still hurt. There'd probably be a bruise. Matt grabbed the other boy's wrist before the fist hit his face. He had to get the gun out of Zubin's hand and get out of here. He raised his elbow up b...

Matt grimaced in anticipation for the pain that never came. Instead, he was rewarded with a light click, then another, and then yet another as his shoulder drove into Zubin's hip. He hooked his left arm behind the other boy's right and pulled, causing them to tumble down to the ground.

So strong. How the fuck was this demonic man so strong? Even weakened, Matt didn't stand a chance against Tyler. He could only stare with bewilderment and terror as he lost his gun. He jerked at the deafening bang, feeling the shards of pavement fly around him. He could still breath, just barely, bu...

Matt watched as his target dodged out of the way of the initial burst, but something gave. The other boy suddenly stopped, allowing him to fill his target with lead. He stopped firing, watching as the figure stood for a few moments before collapsing. Holy shit. He'd just killed someone. He felt... n...

The figure approached, limping slowly towards his location. He'd probably seen a lot of action, certainly more than Matt had at this point. Hell, that probably described everyone left. As the figure approached, Matt realized that it couldn't be Hansel. This guy was one of the football players, or at...

((Matt Vartoogian continued from [url]Snatch/Steal)) Matt got really bored staring out the window all day. It was all there was left to do. Camp the fuck out of his position so that nobody would get the jump on him. Sure, there were other ways into the building he was in, but he'd hear their footste...

((Matt Vartoogian continued from this will get fixed eventually I swear)) Matt had waited for Finn to be gone for a while before moving. How long had he waited? An hour? Two hours? His sense of time was never the best. The sun was still out, which was good. He figured that whoever had done the shoot...

Matt froze as Finn's voice grew louder. Shit fuck what even the hell was this? Finn was supposed to be a level-headed ally. He was supposed to be smart. Why was he so emotional now? He couldn't respond; he couldn't do anything but tense up as he realized that Finn might turn against him and holy shi...

Matt didn't understand why Finn got so aggressive so quickly. Tensions were high at this point, and he was feeling the stress, the fear, too. He had been the entire time. The constant logical overrides on under riding emotions kept him relatively sane, but that nagging feeling at the back of his hea...

Finn's gruff response was nothing more than a continuation of how he'd been for the past day. Sterner, more grave, this new Finn was someone Matt hadn't fully expected to come out, especially not so quickly. Theo had gone farther in even less time. "Everything's about making it easier for us, i...

"We probably shouldn't check that out." ((Matt Vartoogian continued from since when have I had my backend done at the time of posting)) The resonating bangs from somewhere nearby were a grim reminder of what was to come. Matt and Finn had hurried their way down here as quickly as they coul...

Matt chose a really bad time to try to fire again. He had reloaded and went to shoot again, only to be met by a barrage of bullets. The first hit his shoulder. The next his chest. He lost track of where he was getting shot. He tried to return fire, but he knew it was in vain. He was done. He couldn'...

The next burst of fire came right as Matt reached the top of the stairs. He dove again, trying to get out of KK's line of sight as quickly as possible. He screamed as he felt searing heat push through his calf. This wasn't good. This was very not good. He had to focus on winning this gunfight, thoug...

Had he seen her a second later, he would have died on the spot. Instead, Matt began running into the house as KK raised her gun, and he dove as she fired. The rat-a-tat-tat of the gun boomed through the houses. He managed to get inside without taking a hit, but his adversary was close. She could clo...
