Dan took advantage of the beast-man's stumble to make a break for it. Out the door and down the stairs, charging headlong down the steps.
In hindsight, this was a bad plan. The bastard was practically bulletproof -- two .357's to the chest and it barely slowed him down! Dan hit the bottom floor and rushed towards the door.
Would he have to use the Collateral Shot? It might kill him -- using his own vitality for the technique might take more than he had. Dan burst through the front door, panting heavily.
Dan spat on the ground, gathering his will. There was no way he'd use his most powerful weapon against this animal. Dan would kill him -- he might have to fire every bullet he had, but he would stand over that bastard's corpse!
