I look again around the hall and noticea large statue I had somehow missed before. "Whoah. Look at that thing," I mumble. I walk up to it and read the inscription. It states The Statue of the Winged Goddess. "Well, you asked a question, so I'll answer it. Let's not botherthinking about which one first. We'll split up. You and Pat can take those double doors over there, Me and Ben will take the door to the left, and that door way back there, Mark and Craig will take," Rick orders pointing to the respective people and their doors.

I turn away from the statue and look at Pat who nods and takes up breaching position next to the double door on the left. I take up position on the right, and we both swing our doors open and storm inside. The doors slam closed behind us, startling me to the point that I turn around and aim at them. "Calm down man. Sheesh. You're jumpy," Pat tells me. I lower my gun and turn around to see what looks like a waiting room, with a small circulartable in the center, and windows to an office on the right.

I see that there is a wall with a small opening to the right. I go to it and turn the corner. There is a window up ahead, and a door on the right wall. I motion Pat forward, and as I go to the door, I see swift movement outside the window. I quickly put my hand out to stop Pat, but decide to put it down and we head through the door.

I open it and hear a noise coming from outside. We are in a hallway lined with more windows to the left. I start to move forward when my radio crackles. "Check in team," Rick says. I hear Mark reply that him andCraig are fine. I whisper in, "We're fine, but it's creepy as hell in here. I think we're being set up." Pat says into his radio, "Don't mind him. He's too jumpy," as he walks forward.

Suddenly I hear a hiss and I yell "No!" Two Lickers break in through the windows on either side of Pat. Pat turns around to run, but sees theone behind him. "Help me out!" he yells. I take out my Hardballer and blow the Licker's headbehind Pat clean off. I then take aim as the one in front of him pounces. It knocks him down, and as it tries to scratch him, I send it flying three feet back with a shot to its chest. It doesn't move anymore.

"Now will you listen to me?" I snap with a smirk on my face.
