Marcus tramped his way through the knee-high weeds choking the parking lot, eyes fixated on the loading dock seventy yards away. He heard what sounded like a door banging shut just before Taciturn extended a massive arm across Marcusâs chest, halting his progress.
âRoof,â Taciturn grunted, pointing with his SMG.
âFather?â Marcus watched as Mason appeared at the edge of the roof facing the abandoned building across the street. His father braced himself before raising a large weapon and aiming at the other building.
Whump. Whump. Whump. The gunâs canister rotated and spat out round after round. Seconds later, the grenades struck the building across the street, and explosions rocked the structure. Fire bloomed on the rooftop and then in quick succession across the front of the building. Figures inside the building raced to escape as Mason pumped grenade after grenade into the building.
Shit, that must be the CorpSec operation! Marcus realized. The CorpSec team inside the building returned fire, forcing Mason to duck as energy bolts crackled around him.
Beefy and Taciturn shielded Marcus. Beefy picked Marcus up under one arm like a sack of potatoes and began unceremoniously hauling him away toward the fence. Taciturn backed toward them, ready to return fire if any rounds came in their direction.
Marcus struggled against the big manâs grasp, but he would have had as much luck trying to dislodge a steel bar. âWait! We have to help them!â
âNegative. The situation is spiraling out of control. The two of us alone cannot guarantee your safety,â Beefy replied. âThe safest course of action is to evacuate the area.â
Marcusâs last image of his father was him falling within the hail of energy bolts.
