When the white thing streaks past my head I'll try not to scream & empty my clip at it.
When I see that it's a standard roll of gauze I'll get my breathing under control & look back at Block.
I suddenly realize the wisdom in his tactic so shut my open mouth & swallow the urge to shout "WHAT THE FRAG?!?"
Upon hearing Mister X's instructions about the door, Ace gives a single click back on the same channel.
That's what all the spies do in the trids & he hopes it's the right signal to acknowledge his having Heard And Understood" (HooAH!)
He'll slip up beside the door frame, gun held up at the ready with the barrel aimed up past his nose, in a classic "cop about to bum rush the bad guys" pose.
A quick scan of the hall on both the electronic & physical, making sure nobody is sneaking up on them.
Have those strange things on the ceiling shown any sign of having noticed us?
Do any of the three closed doors open?
Am I being unnecessarily paranoid in my nervousness to do a good job?
...
I blink a few times as if to clear my vision, squeaze them shut a moment, then reopen them to scan the hall once more.
I'll refrain from asking the obvious question as to where the hell X just vanished to, but the desire to scream "Damn it! Stop f4ing around!" is forming a lump in my throat.
A slow, deep breath to calm my nerves, I'll return my focus to the door I'm standing beside figuring that if X wants to play Mister Invisible then more power to him.
When the elevator doors open & the voice asks for a floor, Ace restrains himself from emptying his clip into the revealed compartment inside.
Damned elevators! Didn't scare me one bit! Not at all, nopea nopea nope!
*Cough*
