Phantom hugged the wall tightly as he snuck past a couple of Brutes. *To think that things had been going so well,* he thought to himself. *It was as though nothing could ruin the day, really...* Suddenly, a Grunt popped out of nowhere and aimed its pistol right at him. Moving quickly, the ONI agent drew his silenced magnum and put the bastard's lights out with a quick knock between the eyes. *Pitiful creatures, really,* he thought to himself. *But still...*
Before he could finish his thought, he heard bursts of gunfire nearby. *Someone's still alive out there...* he thought to himself as he ran towards the noise.
