Re: Chapter 2: Portal
Frank swore furiously as he knocked his shoulder hard against the wall. Behind him, he heard the dull crump as the rocket the helicopter had loosed at him slammed into the wall just behind him. He glanced back towards the corridor and realised he couldn't see Toby anywhere. Was he pinned down back there?
He needed to buy them some breathing room. Staggering to a halt, he drew his gun and pointed it right at the helicopter, imagining locking eyes with the pilot. He steadied his aim with both hands, lining his sights at the center of the helicopter.
"I'm done with this shit!" he shouted. "You're staring down the barrel of the largest anti aircraft cannon you'll ever damn see. Now, I'm wounded, so maybe you'll get a shot off at me before I send you to hell, and maybe that'll be enough to put me down, but better men than you have tried, son and I'm still standin'. So the thing is, you've got to ask yourself one question... 'Do I feel lucky?'."
"Well do ya, punk?"
The Clint quote might have suggested that Frank was joking, but the grim set of his jaw and look of cold hatred in his eyes suggested otherwise. After all, a man with a gun is a man with a gun, even if he's quoting from an old movie.
OOC: I'm hoping that as Monday is too far away to command the helicopter so I only have to beat the DC for the helicopter, rather than winning an opposed roll. I've spent an AP to boost my roll, just in case. Frank is just looking to intimidate the pilot enough to make him retreat.
I hope this works, because if it doesn't, I'm pretty sure Frank is toast.
