[color=red][h3]Madison Ripley[/h3][/color][hr]Madison's eyes tore from the corpse of the preacher and swept over to Nicholas. The marine was yelling. Goading the man in the room into fighting. John looked big from what she had seen, what was he thinking? What could he possibly hope to gain from engaging in a physical conflict with this man, except more injuries? Maddy adjusted her mask and tried to slow her breathing and she looked to the barricade for a moment. Good and blocked up, but for how long? They had to move and move quick, to remove the problem. To teach the bad dog a lesson. Her mind scrambled as the marine continued to goad John, whilst looking at her. She was confused, until she saw him motion toward the wall, with an chopping motion.

Of course, how could she be so dense. The axe in her hands wasn't just for cleaving skulls apart. It had an originally intended purpose. And that was exactly what she was going to put it to use for. Motioning the marine to step back, the drew it up at arms length, taking care not to put herself out of cover. Then she hacked at the wall, intending on cutting out a hole that was big enough to look through and possibly stick a firearm through.

With a quick motion, she pointed at the glass of her mask and then at the eyes of the marine. She mumbled under her breath, [color=red]"Watch my back," [/color]Then she pointed to the body of the preacher, [color=red]"Watch him,"[/color] Then she pointed at the barricade with a shaky arm, before returning to chopping. [color=red]"Watch that. Watch it all."[/color] Chop. [color=red]"Watch it all, watch it close. Line your brain with eyes and see every angle."[/color] Chop. [color=red]"If you don't, then you are blind. Blindness is vulnerability. Vulnerability is-" Chop. "Death."[/color]

She spared a look at the marine and shook her head. She stood with the axe drawn above her shoulder, ready to slam it into the wall and break through.

[color=red]"Are you ready?"[/color]
