Her heart felt like it was pounding on the outside of her chest, her vision narrowed and all the sounds of gunshots and screams went mute. Dusk focused on the basement, hopefully either their escape or at least it could offer some sort of protection till this was over. She tried to keep herself as the smallest target she could when Anita pushed her towards to basement stairs, this started a fit of giggles from Dusk -quite often when she became anxious or down right afraid for her life she couldn't stop herself from laughing. It was her own little coping mechanism and this was certainly one of those times.
Bullets flew around everywhere echoing the 'ting ting' sound as they ricocheted, lights flashed and exploded glass fell from every direction. Whoever this mob was that were prematurely ending the night of the Nexus club goers, sure as hell were making short work of it.
Dusk practically leapt down the concrete stairs, taking two or three at a time only stopping when she hit the solid metal entrance door. Reaching out with her left hand to the rounded doorknob she tried to open the door.. nothing... She tried again this time putting a little weight behind her right shoulder into the door... again no movement.
Dusk caught a glimpse of Anita at the top of the stairs, rifle in hand spraying controlled busts of ammunition towards encroaching enemy "LOCKED!" She called out, frantically she tried again but this time with both hands, looking down she realised why the handle wouldn't open. Her left hand slowly dripped with a dark red fluid- her hand had been slipping around the doorknob, had she been hit by a bullet? Or was it from the door explosion? All the pain masked by the adrenaline pulsed through her arm, it excruciatingly burned and tingled all the same time. Dusk sucked a deep breath in, gripped the door knob tighter and pushed the door inwards, "I'm in!" Dusk yelled, it easily opened this time to reveal a rather well lit room scattered with shelving lined with boxes of miscellaneous items and empty stainless silver beer kegs.
"Hurry up!" Dusk screached, Anita descended down the stairs still taking pot shots. As soon as Anita was inside the doorway Dusk slammed the door shut behind her, leaning against it she slid down to the ground and searched for hopefully a way out of this hell hole. Their situation was going from bad to seriously fucked up. Dusk tried to control her breathing as best as she could when she realised they were stuck underground without an obvious exit. Ever since she was caught in a New Order building collapse she had terrible time dealing with small underground spaces.
