Jayme dived behind a low-lying chunk of an old pillar. He rose, firing and trying to flank his attackers. As he rose he counted.
One, two... There's five of them... Lovely...
"Argyle, get down!" Jayme yelled to his companion, narrowly avoiding being clipped by a rogue bullet.
"Boss, you got any grena-" Argyle yelled, in his final words. As he watched, a bullet caught his old friend on the neck, a mortal wound. Jayme rose, a new fury in his old bones. He fired twice, killing one of the attackers. As he charged, he grabbed his custom sawed-off from Argyle's corpse. "You shouldn't have done that!" he yelled, rapidly firing the modded shotgun into a group of three of the attackers. The shells were high powered, killing all three. He turned towards the fifth, who threw his weapon to the floor. "Hey, man, come on... It was only business... Here, take my rifle, just please don't kill me..." he pleaded, a reproachful look on his face. James looked at him, past his pseudo-scared look, and into his real intent. If Jayme were to let this man go, he was likely to be shot in the back. "You fired the shot that killed my friend..." Jayme commented, raising the pistol. "I feel I should return the favor..." Jayme squeezed the trigger, felt the shock of the blast, and the warm burst of wetness on his arm. Jayme looked at the weapon he had acquired, a M-16 carbine. No ammo, but still a fine weapon. He rose, and went to his fallen friend. "You deserve a burial..." he stated, to which he got no response. Jayme picked up Argyle's corpse's legs, and began to drag him home.
