Slouched against the back wall, Jamie felt the explosion slightly before he heard it. Even though he knew something was going to happen, the scope of it still surprised him. He braced himself against the wall and blinked. "Guess that's our signal, huh?" He asked as he turned to look at... darn. He did not have a dupe out, so now he really was talking to himself. He made a mental note to work on that and darted around towards a back entrance, only to find a dumpster pulled in front of it. He closed his eyes and brought the heel of his palm to his forehead. The Black team had done that, hadn't they? He knew that, he had been told that! Why had he not remembered it?
Get it together, Jamie, he mentally chided himself as he turned to sprint to an unblocked entrance.
Pete's voice crackled over his intercom and he made a point to try and place himself before that entrance. A stinging in his eyes and throat alerted him to the gas, and he quickly slipped his mask on. He felt rather uncomfortable in the thing, but it was a necessary thing, he decided. Slamming the side of his fist into the wall a few times, he created three dupes, who all came out with identical gas masks, and prepared himself for whoever was going to come out the door.
...Until the realization hit him.
The three dupes remained at ready and tackled two men as they came out the door, shouting "Monkey pile" and respawning more dupes to make their combined weight effective, but by that point Jamie Prime had stepped a few feet away. He licked his lips and tried to keep panic out of his voice as he reached for his intercom, breaking into a sprint towards the front of the building.
"Pete! Pete!" He shouted a little more loudly than he intended. "Are you inside? Where's John? I can't feel him! Pete! He's gone!" There was no hiding the panic in his voice by the end of that, his breathing uneven and chest tight. He had just felt John, he had been in close enough rage, but now... now he was not. He did not feel dead, Jamie was sure that he would have felt his dupe's death if he had been this close... so where was he? Where was John Maddox?
