Matoya Kaririba
Get down, Kantorou. They are swarming the lobby like locusts. We cannot fight our way through the front.
Kantorou Mashashiba
His shirt is soaked in crimson, but he still looks ready to kill. I hate seeing him like this.
Matoya Kaririba
Look at that chute. It leads to the basement carts. If we fit through there, we bypass the guards entirely. It is our only shot.
The hospital lights flicker and buzz, casting long, jittery shadows against the walls. Somewhere in the lobby, a heavy boot kicks a metal trash can, signaling the hunters are closing the distance.
Kantorou Mashashiba
Lead the way, Matoya. We end this tonight.
Kantorou Mashashiba
My ribs scream with every breath, but the Asura name does not bleed out on a hospital floor. Not today.

Kantorou Mashashiba
Forget the bag. Forget the money. I am not dying in a maintenance closet. We are getting to the bike.
Matoya Kaririba
He is not thinking straight. The pain is eating him alive.
Kantorou lunges for the exit door, but his boots slip on the sterile, waxed tile. His wounded side strikes the doorframe with a sickening thud, sending him sprawling into the hallway.
Matoya Kaririba
Kantorou, stop! You cannot even stand, let alone outrun them!
A sudden burst of light floods the corridor as the heavy steel doors at the end of the hall swing wide. A silhouette framed by the harsh hallway lamps steps forward, leveling a heavy, chrome plated pistol directly at Kantorou's chest.
Kantorou Mashashiba
My vision is blurring. If I move, he fires. If I stay, they close the circle. Is this how the Asura ends?

Forget the bag, Matoya. We have to move now before they close the net.
Matoya Kaririba
You are bleeding through your shirt, Kantorou. We cannot fight our way through the lobby.
Kantorou Mashashiba
The chute is too narrow for me to fit with this pain, but the parking deck is just past the service exit.
Kantorou slams his shoulder into the dented service door, bursting through into the cool night air of the hospital parking structure.
Kantorou Mashashiba
There. That idling sedan. Get to the driver's side!
Matoya Kaririba
If we steal this, there is no coming back to this hospital, boss. Are you ready for the heat?
