Templar wasn't looking at the woman as he held the sniper rifle aimed at something in the doorway. This wasn't normal! Templar began to wonder what the hell was really going on that needed guarding back at the base.
In that split second that Templar was thinking, the former Johnson ducked and sprinted out of the door right at Templar. Templar didn't have time to warn the man to stop, his only real option was to shoot him. But this wasn't like Johnson. He was acting like a crazy person with an unsatsified blood lust.
The distinct crack of the sniper rifle filled Templars ears as the round punched through his former squad leader. Johnson fell back on his knees and slid forward, scrambling to get back up and attack.
Templar pulled the bolt up and back, watching as an empty bullet went flying out, then rammed it back down. He reacquired Johnsons head and pulled the trigger at a foot away. There was a ton of blood on the sidewalk.
It was then that Templar looked over at the woman a couple feet away from him. He had the expression of a very angry man. He looked over at Reile and saw that he had conked out. He got concerned then.
"I was gone for like three minutes, what the hell is wrong with both of them..." He was referring to Johnsons aggressive behavior and Reile passing out.
