In the moments fallowing the marring of the truck, Peircen took a deep breath through her nose before sighing heavily; growing progressively weary of the situation she got them into. This wasn't the first time they'd been in a pinch, but this time seemed different. "Fritz, status" Peircen spoke into the clasped radio. "Good, ready to cross over" the radio barked back. "Hold up, we need a lookout. Can you get to the upper floors?" Peircen replied while glancing over at the old four-story brick apartment building Spinelli was held up outside of. "Absolutely!" Spinellie replied, a hint of optimism in her voice, seemingly content with the change of plan.
Kurt stopped in his tracks to kneel along the bus, half way up. He didn't share the same enthusiasm for the new plan, in fact, he was quite livid. As he saw it, this would substantially weaken their offensive. Lightly shaking his head, grumbling, he'd dig around in one of his ammo pouches, pulling out a half empty flask of whiskey. Quickly screwing off the cap before throwing his head back to dump the last of it's contents down his throat. Kurt would then vigorously shake the water from his soaked head, leaving it a matted mess as his eyes burnt with a feral rage, bearing his fangs in a guttural growl as he exchanged the flask for a bayonet. "It's time to go fishing" he snarled, sliding the tarnished East German blade into the AK's bayonet lug, his snarl turning into a sinister grin. He'd launch from the kneeling position, crouched just under the bus's beltline as he made his way to the front corner of the bus, drawing his gun around the corner without hesitation, quickly squeezing off seven rounds in the car's general direction before he'd fall back behind the bus.
While Kurt attacked, Peircen took the opportunity to situate herself. Turning about to rest her rifle on the edge of the truck bed, positioning herself so that the cab was in Kensie's line of sight, hopefully sparing her from another AR assault. A collection of water droplets on the lens of her scope obstructed her sight, but she had no time. Aiming for the top of the driver's side door, she squeezed one off, the rifle buckled into her shoulder, tweaking the bolt to load the next round as she went to duck behind the bed again.
Spinelli turned her attention from the wrecks just outside to the deep end of the archway. The nook was cast in shadows, but she made out a door as the sky flickered, followed by a clap of thunder. Stepping into the darkness, she'd grab the metal lever of what appeared to be a thick wooden door. To her misfortune, the lever wouldn't budge. Frustrated, she'd forcefully jerk at the handle. "UGH! Mother **censor**!" she'd shout, giving the lever one last yank before stepping back, raising her AR to blast four holes into the lever panel, the muzzle flash lighting up the dark archway. Without thinking, she stepped back before lunging into the door with her shoulder. The doorframe cracked but the solid door didn't give. Spinelli would stumble back, fazed and momentarily maimed by the dense impact.
