Drodel was looking outside and seeing if he saw anysighn of her.

Standing beside the door, weapon poised, Silvador took hold of the handle and swung the door open quickly before pulling back should anyone try to attack from within.

When no attack came, the panther glanced into the closet and looked around briefly. Spotting the hole in the ceiling, he sighed and sheathed Istor before beginning to climb the shelving.

The doctor stood upright, his revolver in place to fire at anyone whom looked like a threat. Grace's order to barricade the room was carried out by Wolf as he moved over to a cabinet filled with ampules and other medical items and began to push the heavy, 5 feet tall box in the way of the door. When be stopped pushing though, the entire room fell into silence.... except for a light dragging sound. "....what's that noise?".

It was at a distance, but... It could be heard still.

Alex had seen Wolf begin to move the cabinet, but the noise had caught his attention and held his attention as he looked around despite the sound of the cupboard moving.

"What is that sound?" he asked when Wolf stopped moving the cabinet.

Lucian looked at the closet where Slivador was heading into. Seeing the hole in the ceiling, he pushed his ears a bit and managed to hear the nurse moving above him. He took a moment or two to determine which way she was heading, and then approached Rhoda's room, trying to open the door, only to find it barred from within. He then knocked hard enough on the door as to get the attention of those within, hoping they could hear him.

"Heads up! Someone's coming in from the ceiling!"

The cat shouted, before approaching the panther investigating the closet.

The vixen stood next to the lioness' bed ready to protect her in case something were to happen, little did she know that the patch of ceiling above her head had been lifted away. Both of the girls' attention at the door, neither noticed a long, thin, black line slowly lowering down. When someone shouted out from the hallway, Grace looked straight up and gasped before the line was dropped and brought back up again. The vixen's eyes widened as she struggled against the line, her feet dangling inches from the ground.

Crawling up into the roof, Silvador spotted the false nurse making her way back in the direction of Rhoda's room. Abandoning his cautious approach, the panther paused and looked down into the small room for something to use as a weapon. He soon spotted an unopened box of scalpels and grabbed it. Tearing off the seal, Silvador took three of the sharp cutting tools in his fist and crawled back into the roofing, crawling after the imposter.

It wasn't long before he caught up to her as she had stopped. Judging from the shouts in the room below, it was evident that something bad was happening. Without hesitating, Silvador rose his fist up and drove the sharp end of the three scalpels into the calf of the imposter nurse.

The noise Suddenly stopped, a few hits of dust falling all over the room, as if something shook the room itself.

It was then that a shout... a warning, came from outside the now barricaded room. "Heads up! Someone's coming in from the ceiling!". Wolf's eyes darted up in seconds. One o the panel's was gone, but that wasn't anything worth worry. What was, was Grace suddenly being held up inches off the ground, some form of thin wire pulling aggressively at her neck. His Colt in hand and his aim taken steady, the trigger was squeezed. With incredible pin point ccuracy, the small 45. round flew past above her head and whizzed towards the line, the very same snapping with a loud crack.

Alex snapped out of his daze and ran to Grace's side quickly trying to pull the line from her neck, "Are you okay?" his eyes wandering towards the hole in the ceiling.

"Hey you got something I can use as a weapon?" he called out to Wolf.

The rabbit nodded silently at Grace, smiling softly. At the sounds of gunshots, he jumped out of his seat from shock. "Wh-what the... What in all that is holy was that?!"

He was stunned for a moment before he barely Grace's command to barricade the door. Leaf rushed over to the doctor and helped him move a medicine cabinet over to the door. The rabbit then heard a strange dragging sound coming from the ceiling.

His ears then picked up a gasp followed by gagging. Leaf turned around and was horrified to discover Grace being held up in the air, a thin wire wrapped around her neck. As soon as the doctor and Alex snapped the wire, Leaf rushed over to the vixen, checking to see if she was all right and supporting her.

"That woman... What could she possibly want?!," Leaf yelled. His eyes darted around the room, looking if there were other places where the mystery assassin would strike next.

After Silvador disappeared into the gap, Lucian ran back to the door, and tapped his foor on the ground while thinking of something to do. An idea occurred him, and he gripped the handle of his cane and pulled, unsheating a long, thin steel blade. With four quick slashes, he cut off another part of the ceiling, a couple steps beside the door to Rhoda's room. Taking impulse, he stepped a couple times up the wall, giving him enough momentum to reach the rafters and pull himself up. Seeing the panther stab the mystery nurse in the ankle, his mind kicked into overdrive. He crawled forward and grabbed her by the scruff.

"Incoming!"

His timely shout was followed by a precise downward tug on where he was holding, making the nurse lose balance and plummet through the hole, into the room below.

The lioness tucked her head under the covers and shook in fear. Grace dropped to her knees, her hands going to her throat as she coughed and gasped for air. The impostor growled in pain as she was stabbed in the calf. Seeing the line snap, she let go and drew her pistol, firing two shots into the darkness towards whoever stabbed her. Her growls grew louder as she was thrown down into the room, crashing onto the floor with a thud. Slowly, she made it to her feet, just barely standing on her left leg as she yanked the scalpels out.

Grace had dove out of the way when someone shouted 'Incoming!'. Looking up at the woman, her eyes shot wide and she let out a soft gasp, the impostor baring a striking resemblance to the lioness in the bed, looking almost exactly alike her, spare a few scars. Quickly, she pulled something from her pocket and held it in hand as she looked at everyone in the room.

The panther flattened himself as the imposter fired off her first shot, causing it to miss him entirely. The second shot caught him along the side of the arm. Snarling, Silvador crawled toward the whole and looked down at the scene in the room.

Everything moved so fast, the figure crashing into the room at the blink of an eye. More dust was kicked off from the falling nurse and upon impact, the striking resemblance made Wolf stare. There was little to no time to ponder on this, so he did the most natural thing and took aim of his revolver at the woman. "Freeze!". He didn't see what she held out, or rather... didn't pay attention.

Rank: Super Veteran Joined: 26 Mar 2011 Posts: 2709

Alex barely had time to react when he heard someone shout he'd got out of the way enough to avoid having the woman drop almost on top of his head but he did end up with a face full of dust.

Coughing a little and his eyes were watering, all he could make out was a hazy figure that was little more than a few feet away.

Leaf shielded his eyes from the dust as the mystery assassin fell into the room. He squinted as he looked at her, realizing the uncanny resemblance to Rhoda. What was most worrisome to him, however, was the object in her hands. He had no idea what it was, but he had a feeling it was something particularly nasty.

Lucian finished crawling his way to the hole the nurse was using and looked down to the result of his actions. He cocked an eyebrow looking at the two nearly-identical lionesses, the one on the bed he presuming to be Rhoda. But the other one, the nurse, was in the stance of a cornered rat, shifting her gaze between the room occupants and holding something in her hand. He didn't knew what it was, but his own hand was on one of his belt's pockets, ready to react to anything she might try.

The nurse growled softly as she looked everyone over before finally focusing her attention on the vixen "Hehe, long time no see, Dusk." she said with a smirk. The vixen let out a soft gasp and snarled, her ears pointing backwards as she slowly stood up. "Aww, what's the matter? Cat got your tongue?" the nurse said with a devilish grin.

"I.... am going to FUCKING KILL YOU!!!" Grace barked in anger, ready to charge at the lioness. "Ah ah! You stay right where you are and we all won't get blown to shit." the lioness said raising what she had in her left hand. It was a small tube with a button on top tat was wired to something in her pocket. Her thumb had already been pressed against the button and she was holding it tightly. With a smirk, she stepped over to the bed in the room. With a quick motion, she pulled the sheets Rhoda was holding over her head down. Grabbing the lioness by the scruff of the neck, she yanked her off the bed and to her feet, holding her close and smirking to everyone else. Rhoda was whimpering and crying softly.

The panther just watched as the scene unfolded beneath him. There was nothing he could do, especially from where he was. He just hoped that no one did anything stupid.

Rank: Super Veteran Joined: 18 Dec 2009 Posts: 7678

Was that... A Deadman's Switch? It was the only possible conclusion that he could come up with. A button, a tube and an unseen wire into her pocket.... this was bound to end badly. Even if it was instinct to aim at her face, the iron sights of the revolver having a perfectly clear shot between her eyebrows, the danger of such a switch was unknown and therefore, untold. It could blow to hell, killing everyone in the room for all they knew.

"Wait...! Nobody move...". His gloved hand went up as a sign, his voice stern and commanding. "That's a Deadman's trigger. As soon as she let's go of that button, we get blown to hell and back.". This was a hostage situation, the pain Rhoda was in making Wolf even show canines and a light, almost unnoticeable growl. Who was this woman...? What was her connection to Rhoda and Grace? More importantly, why is she trying to kill them all?

Alex's vision cleared slowly as everything came into focus he saw the figure holding Rhoda and he snarled softly.

Than he heard Wolf speaking and as he listened Alex froze in place and eyed this stranger with hatred, much as he hated to admit it, there was nothing any of them could do right now.

FA Page · Royal Member of BonBon Joined: 31 Oct 2009 Posts: 2178

Leaf was horrified to see Rhoda being held by the assassin against her will. He was about to rush her when the doctor warned everyone about the Deadman's switch. Unable to move, the only thing he could do is watch and ask the assassin...

"Easy now..." he said, trying to placate her. "I just need to ask you something. Those roses by Rhoda's bedside... Why have you been leaving them?"

Rank: Mr. Fabulous Joined: 18 Feb 2010 Posts: 564

Lucian cringed when the wolf doctor spoke.

"Deadman's Switch. Hate those things" He thought.

His hand stayed where it was as he attentively watching the situation, trying to detect something, anything that could turn the tide back on their favor. Without knowing her motivations, there was no telling which turn the events could take. The rabbit below spoke, enquiring about the roses.

"Good, that's the right path" He thought again.

Rank: Super Veteran Joined: 21 May 2010 Posts: 11790

The nurse looked over at the roses. "Eh, just classy I guess." she said with a soft chuckle tightening her grip on Rhoda's neck, her claws digging into the lioness' scruff slightly. Grace clenched her fists tightly, her growling loud enough for everyone to hear.

"I know you only want me, so why not let Rhoda go and we'll settle this." the vixen said fighting the urge to drive her fist into the impostor's face.

"Now why would I do that when I have the upper hand? Besides, if your little friend here kicks the bucket, hehe, I couldn't imagine the guilt." the lion said with a devious smile on her face.

Royal Member of BonBon Joined: 20 Oct 2009 Posts: 12351

Silvador lay flat against the interior of the roofing. He watched closely the thumb pressed against the trigger. His mind ticked over, anylising possible scenarios. He heard the others in the room talk of a 'Dead Man's Switch' and knew what that meant.

The panther carefully noted the position of every person in the room, their stances and demeaours. He inspected the furniture and the location of the hole in relation of the layout of the room. An idea was in the black feline's mind but it was a huge risk. There was no room for error. Over and over again Silvador played out the scene in his head.

With blade in hand, he'd drop from the hole directly in front of the imposter. He'd take hold of the switch in her hand, holding her fist around it tightly and at the same time drive Istor into her chest. She'd have no time to react. But there were so many things that could go wrong, so many things that could be miscalculated. It all had to be in the blink of an eye and it all had to be perfect or it would all end in disaster.

Slowly, Silvador drew his sword and carefully moved into position over the hole, preparing himself and waiting for the perfect moment.

With that Trigger in her hands, anything was possible and all of them would end badly in some way or other. She was virtually untouchable. If the cable was to be somehow tampered, the device would be triggered... if she were to let go of the trigger, the device would be activated... if she were to activate.... suffice to say, no matter what could be done, it was far from a perfect rescue.

Wolf took a weary two steps closer, his revolver still aimed with bravery. "Take it easy now.... there's no need to blow innocent civilians sky high. Tell us what you want...". He and Grace were now the closest to this nurse, the gap between them close. The three others were directly behind, the window behind a rabbit.

Rank: Super Veteran Joined: 26 Mar 2011 Posts: 2709

Alex eyed the nurse again than looked at Rhoda who was obviously in pain, he wanted to help her but knew he was just in the way.

Slowly moving backwards a little at a time he put more distance between himself and the woman, he teeth were bared and his fists clenched.

"Just for being classy? How odd," Leaf thought to himself. "If she wanted to, she would have chosen any other patient instead. There must be more to it than that..."

After hearing the doctor ask for the nurse's demands, the rabbit kept quiet and waited for her response. His fist was beginning clench and unclench out of nerves, desperate to help Rhoda.

Rank: Super Veteran Joined: 21 May 2010 Posts: 11790

"What I want..... give her your gun." the woman said to Wolf before looking directly at Grace with a devilish grin.

Drodel continued to look outside. After not finding anything he started back to the door and back to Rhoda's room.
