((Run, Duran, move those little legs!))
Nick let out a low-whistle as he gazed upon the rapidly growing pile of cold steel amassing on the counter. Each weapon seemed to be bigger than the last, and each hit the counter with a satisfying clank.
Nick reached forward and grabbed what looked to be a Kalishnakov. He had to jerk his arm to lift it up enough to slide his hand under the forward grip and brought it to his chest. He whistled again as he bounced it up and down a few times, testing its weight.
"Man, no offence guys, but your dad probably committed more felonies stocking that little hidey-hole then we have fingers between us." Nick said, easing the weapon back onto the glass and looking for something lighter.
"You complaining?" asked Andy, hefting out a SPAS-12 shotgun and propping it up against a cabinet, the snout clinking off the glass.
"Not at this time, no." Nick said, casting his eyes around.
Ducking below the counter level, Nick ran his eyes over the drawers.
".22, .38 long, .50AE, ah 9mil, here we are." Nick muttered to himself. He grabbed the cool handle in his palm and pulled. It gave about a millimeter then stuck fast. It was locked.
"For fuck's sake." Nick shook his head then yanked as hard as he could on the drawer. Once, twice, on the third, the handle broke off with a quiet snap and Nick staggered backwards, and hit his head painfully off the shotgun Andy had left. Grabbing it before it fell down, and possibly went off, Nick cursed as he rubbed at his head. He eyed the drawer. Okay fine, no more Mr. Nice Guy.
Popping the breech open to make sure it was unloaded, Nick brought his elbow up, rotating his torso, eyed his target, then smashed the shotgun stock into the drawer front. It splinted open and Nick felt as rush of victory.
Putting the shotgun back, Nick pulled out and discarded the wood chips. Digging around, he pulled out several boxes of ammo and empty handgun clips. Discarding the non-Glock ones, Nick busied himself sliding bullets into them.
Andy meanwhile, had finished sorting out the weaponry and groaned as he stretched his back, wincing as something cracked. He looked over at Nick, absorbed in reloading his clips.
"Hey, Nick. I'm done, so have at it." Nick glanced up.
"Sure, yeah, right after I finish this." A scream echoed from outside.
"What in the fuck was that?" asked Mac, squinting outside. His eyes widened as he saw the figure of a person sprinting full out for the store front. Two dogs, big ones were pursuing him. If the quartet didn't do something, that guy was toast.
Nick looked over, the other three were farther. His move then.
Vaulting the register cabinet, Nick made for the door and pulled it open just as the man reached it. The man was going so fast that he tripped and fell in his haste to stop before face planting into inch thick glass.
Nick saw the two dogs running for his blood now. He drew his Glock, aimed, and managed to get one before the other was upon him. A bullet shot by, who it was from, Nick couldn't tell. But it missed. The dog leaped for Nick's face, and he somehow managed to grab hold of the thing's throat and shove it away, sending it spawling into the dark street outside. Nick aimed for it, then realized he didn't have his Glock in hand. Scanning the store for it, he couldn't see it. Meanwhile, the dog had regained its footing, and was charging again.
Nick was left with only one option, and he took it. He brought his leg up in a swift motion, bent at the knee, then lashed out with a vicious back kick to the dog's face. It fell back with a yelp. Nick pressed his advantage and sprinted forward. Using his momentum, he planted one foot and swung with the other, hitting the thing a brutal clip to the skull. He heard several somethings break in its skull. It spasmed one, then lay still.
Nick back away quickly, and slammed the door to the shop behind him. The stranger was trying to get up.
"Don't get up yet." Nick said kneeling down. He quickly checked for broken bones, torn muscles or anything else. Not finding anything other then some minor crap, Nick helped the guy up. Mac came up and handed Nick his gun, which had somehow flew the length of the store in the melee.
"You in any pain."
"No." was the reply.
"I'm Nick, that's Mac, Kirk and Andy. And you are?"
((And then there were five. Good to have you back MMK.))
