I stopped, turning my head towards the sky at the sound of breaking glass. I fired back quickly, killing the man, and ran towards the door he'd been standing in front of. The security guard turned in surprise at the noise of the door slamming into the wall, pulling his gun from its holster. Kicking open the door at the top, I found myself in the staff cafeteria. Walking to the door at the end, I came to a maintenance room, with a door that led up some stairs. As such, I was content to let him live, and crept past him to the door that led to the offices, and through to a small boardroom. A guard looked out of the window whistling, not noticing my arrival. The doors opened, and I crawled out of the elevator, landing silently on the floor. The lift shook, dropped a floor before the emergency catches prevented the elevator from plummeting to ground level. The lift proceeded up the shaft, but I wasn't content. When the doors opened, I stepped inside, and pressed the button for LaCroix's suite. I returned to the elevators, and hit the 'up' button with the barrel of the gun. My thirst momentarily sated, I felt strong enough to take whatever was coming. Once the man was drained, I threw him to the ground. 'What are you?', he squealed, looking at me in fright.

His companion ducked behind the revolving sign, cursing. Drawing my own weapon, I ran towards the men, killing one with a shot to the throat. Seemed he was a little nervous when he found out I survived the bloodhunt. Although Chunk had left, LaCroix had put extra security on detail tonight. I didn't like what I had just done, but I would have liked killing the man less.Īs I stepped up towards the elevators, I could hear the clicking as several guns had the safety taken off. Now.'Ĭhunk placed the gun on the table, and with one final look at me, ran out of the main doors. But for your own safety, and our friendship, get out of the building. 'Chunk, I still want to buy you that beer. I brought the force of my will to bear down on the man. I liked the guy, and didn't want anything bad to happen to him. I'm going up.' I said the words firmly, but kindly. 'Trust me Chunk, you've got no idea what's going on here. It was time to end this game.Ĭhunk stood awkwardly as I approached, a look of misery on his face. I walked into the building purposefully, my jaw set. Chapter LXXVII: The Pawn Crosses the Board
