Agent 3: Execution

Johnson made his way around the building after Jessica left, stepping over broken glass and such as he searched desperately for his team. "...Guys!" He turned another corner of the building. "Guys!"

"We're here!" Another officer replied, with a group of the surviving officers. Unfortunately, not everyone made it out alive, and one of them was badly injured, bleeding heavily from the leg. "We need medical attention!" She shouted at him as she carried the injured.

He ran up, speaking into his radio as he did. "We need a medic! Now!" He stood over them as he approached them. "Tie up his leg, try and slow down that ink flow!"

Another officer tore off a part of his shirt, wrapping it around the injured leg to do so while they waited for actual medical help.

The female officer looked around, before she stood up, facing Johnson. "...Where's Murdock?"

The Orphanage

The sounds of screaming, playing children filled the foyer of the orphanage, as orphaned kids ran around playing tag with each other. Dana came in, sighing as she smiled a little, before she picked up and rang a bell. "Alright, everyone! It's time for dinner!"

"Are you serving chili again?" A kid asked as most of them stopped what they were doing and ran to the kitchen.

"Yes, I am." She smiled.

He sighed. "Dammit..."

"Hey. Watch your language. You know the rule. Come on. Let's go eat." She took his hand to start leading him there, when suddenly, she heard someone aggressively bang on the front door. She looked behind her, while the kid jumped a bit in fear. "...It's fine, honey, just go eat. I'll see who it is and you won't have to worry about it. Ok?"

"...Ok..." He ran off to the kitchen.

She smiled and watched him leave, before the door was banged on again. "I'm coming!" She went over and unlocked it, opening one half. To her surprise, she was met with a bruised-looking Jessica, holding an also bruised and unconscious Vanessa over her shoulder. "...Jessica!?"

"She needs help!" Jessica speedily entered, catching the attention of some kids.

The room fell into silence as Dana and the orphans just stared at her.

"...Don't just stand there, get us a room!" She suddenly snapped, causing Dana to jump and lead them away.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As soon as Dana let them into an empty bedroom, she laid Vanessa down on the bed, before she tiredly collapsed onto a nearby chair.

Dana followed them in and closed the door. "What happened?"

"I think she's been shot... I think she's missing a knee and she's been unconscious for who knows how long now..." She panted.

"I'm calling John!" She went over to a table and grabbed a home phone, but Jessica got up as well, taking it from her and smashing it against the wall. Instead of swearing in surprise like a normal person would, she just stared at her.

"We're likely being hunted! We need to lay low." Jessica explained.

"...By who?"

"...My brother now seems to be the grand Kingpin of the Underdogs and I imagine he wants both of us dead... if not him, then the police will be after us. Johnson let me go, but I imagine that's a temporary privilege. I would've taken her to the bunker, but I need someone actually trust-worthy to watch her this time. I know you have some medical experience..."
