Jack and the team had entered the alley after no answer and surrounded the broken window from which the Gart had bashed through earlier,"We're coming in, if you shoot, your ass is grass!" he said as they prepared to storm in. Jack leaped in through the window to roll a few feet into the room, coming up with his M3 checking the room and finding it empty. There was a service tunnel entrance in the corner that stood open, and had a slight blood trail leading to it. "Room clear, tunnel entry point in West-eastern corner, circle and prepare for entry." he said into his helmet's mike, with his external audio switched off. Jack took a quick head count as the others entered the room, "Hey wait there is only four of you, where the hell is Sasha?" Jack asked looking to Sarah with a peeved tone as she was last in.
"Um, she was behind me, but after the tank fired, she disappeared. Probably splattered on the concrete outside some where." Sarah answered with little care in her voice.
"You know, I'm starting to wish they had aimed ahead of her a bit, then I wouldn't have to listen to your smart ass." Jack said with irritation as this worried him for more than one reason, it seemed everyone he had been close to at some point. Whether intentional, or not had died, Jack inwardly knew it would be another face he would be seeing from now on, condemning him with the rest. "Fuck! Come on we need to catch that motherfucking Gart, we need to make that loss worth something." he said trying to not let his emotions show audibly.
"Not like you too were close, or something, relax she wasn't good enough for this team apparently. Besides we can just activate her backup at home." Sarah added clearly annoyed that Jack didn't like a KIA on the team.
"Shut the fuck up, or she won't be the only one being revived." Jack barked at her. They circled the tunnel entrance and synchronously moved to the edge and looked down into the dark tunnel, flashlights illuminating an unexpected sight. "Trooper how the fuck did you get down there, and ahead of us at that. You were outside a moment ago. Wait is that the Gart?!" Jack almost stuttered from the confusion and relief.
