The acid was already in front of his face.
Am I going to die?!
"Woof!"
Something slammed into Adrian's waist. His vision spun.
The green acid missed his face by less than an inch and splashed against the wall behind him.
The concrete hissed, smoke burst upward. It filled the stairwell with a sharp, burning stink.
Adrian hit the floor shoulder-first. Again.
"Fuck!"
Vex landed on top of him, claws scraping against his vest before the dog rolled back to its feet.
The spitter clicked from above, its throat already swelling for another shot.
Adrian's hand moved before his thoughts recovered. His SMG rose.
Just as he was about to pull the trigger—
A heavier burst roared from above. Large 30mm rounds smashed into the Spitter's head, splattering it before Adrian's bullets could reach.
Green fluid sprayed across the stairwell wall.
Adrian was taken aback.
"Friendly fire, my ass," he muttered.
A voice shouted from above. "Echo Two, move up!"
