Re: Diner Escape: Gwen, Flash (+Jason & The League NPCs)
"One more on foot, one more on wheels." Jason took off running the second he saw the guard from the woods taking off after Gwen. That just wasn't going to happen. He tapped the comm. "Gwen, get moving, there's one more on your tail."
There were no more words after that. Jason was pounding the asphalt as hard and as fast as his legs would carry him. He loosed a knife from a holster at his side and tossed it ahead, underhanded. It went wide, slicing the edge of the guard's shoulder, and he turned around long enough to fire back with a gun just about the size of him.
The bullet caught Jason in the side of the leg, and the momentum almost, almost took him down. No question, if his training was even a little bit worse, he would have hit the ground rolling. But he caught his momentum, spun into the blast, and kept running, now trailing blood behind.
From the woods, the second car burst from the undergrowth and began barreling across the open expanse toward the woods, following Gwen's trail.
