[IC] Rapidfire: Guns vs. Outgunned

[ImportantNobody]

"Hey! Give me all your money! Don't make me ask you again!" Derek commanded from inside the otherwise empty alleyway behind a dojo and some other closed businesses, his female victim cowering at gunpoint from his glock aimed at her forehead. She was in no positon to fight back, so in tears she began to extend her purse out towards his waiting hand until something caught her eye, causing her to pause.

"Hey, what's that, babe? Just fork over the cash!" He ordered, eyes briefly darting over to where she was looking. Keeping attention to his surroundings, he was beginning to get a bit nervous, but nobody else should be around here at the moment. Could someone happen to be passing by at this time when everyone should be home by now? He strained his ears to try and pick something up while he waited for the woman to comply.

Avery had just finished his afternoon training session with Sensei master Dave and had been walking out of sensei master Dave's dojo/house when he heard rather loud talking from the alley as he listened he realized that someone was robbing someone else.
He then pulled his glaive from his back and crouched behind a corner to the alleyway, unbeknownst to him the very tip of the blade showing to the alley.

Aha! That's what the woman had spotted. At first it was hard to tell in the diming light of the alleyway, but a glint easily revealed it to be some sort of a weapon sticking out from behind the corner of the dojo. Just his luck, there must have been a late training session, today of all days. Lucky it wasn't a gunslinger training session, at least...

While he was distracted by the unusual sight, the woman took this opportunity to smack at his gun hand with her purse and then turn tail to make a mad dash to the nearest exit. Snarling, he began to bring his gun back into alignment, intent on taking the shot if he wasn't soon interrupted by whoever the weapon wielder was and forced to instead focus on saving himself than getting revenge.

Avery heard a smack and running and turns the corner seeing a deadlocked man aiming a gun at a girl running away, upon seeing this he and holding his glaive like a spear with the intent of stabbing him in the back.

Derek spun around at the sudden movement of the weapon wielder behind him. Shooting quickly, in a panic, his first shot embedded itself into the wall over his shoulder. However, he began to take more careful aim for the second shot.

After the first shot whizzed far over his shoulder I hope that didn't hit anyone he thought as he jumped behind a dumpster for cover as he saw the girl who had been robbed turn a corner and run out of sight.

Derek took one shot at the dumpster, flinching as the bullet ricocheted off the thick metal and was sent flying somewhere nearby, although it all happened too quickly to know for sure how close of a call he had just been to death. This situation was not only frightening but annoying how his target got away and now he'd have to get close to get a good shot off over the dumpster wall, thus exposing himself to the melee user's weapon. Not having time for this, he retreated quickly out of the alley, ridding himself of this nonsense and calling it a night.
