I was so busy concentrating on my target and trying to catch a flicker of movement in the shadowy corridor that I nearly tripped over the still form on the floor. Glancing down, my stomach twisted painfully. "Taylor to Control," I whispered tersely into the mike, "I've found Ericson." My searching fingers sought and failed to find a flutter of pulse in Keith Ericson's neck. I fought the urge to close my eyes in grief. "You..." I swallowed, hard trying not to think of Keith's wife and two little boys. "You can raise the casuality number to four." After a moment's delay the response came. "We copy...damnit." The last word was more of a breath of pain than a sound. A pause then Cassandra Blackhawk continued in a brisk voice. "Sensors are down in your current location but there is no indication that the target has left the sector." "Most of the lights are out too," I muttered and then looked up sharply. I'd heard something... **************************** A story based loosely on a RPG campaign I'm trying to illustrate. Agent Michaela "Mike" Taylor is my RPG character. The lighting in this drove me crazy, and I'm still not 100% satisfied.
