“Are you okay?” Clark asked with alarm.
“Fine, for now. They fired a shotgun, it would seem. I have a few BBs embedded in my arm, but I shall be fine for now. At least they helped us take out the lock.” He produced a grenade from his vest, pulling its pin out, he chucked it with great force through the hole the shot had made on the door. A shout came from inside, and a second later a deafening explosion.
Emmerich immediately busted through the door, and Karrson followed him in. They entered a corridor filled with smoke, with a few doors on either side. All doors lay open, revealing empty rooms, some dorms, others storage chambers. Two gray uniformed men lay dead and bloody on the floor. Karrson attempted to be oblivious to it, but still the sight made something in him throb. They quickly advanced, and at the end of the corridor was a flight of stairs, up which they rushed, into a control room. A man sat at the control panel with a pistol, but before he could pull the trigger he took a bullet in the head. The control room overlooked the rest of the facility, being on the second floor, with massive windows through which they could see the machinery in the building: a processing line of some sort, complicated and advanced. The roomed seemed to be empty of humans. The floor on the northern side of the building dropped in a steep slope into a small patch of the green river water, which was separated, as Karrson presumed from what he could see, from the main river by a long set of retractable rolling shutter doors. Upon that small patch of green and acidic water, a small modified speedboat. The very sight of it sparked hope in his heart. He pointed to it at Emmerich, too excited to speak, who had already walked to the other side of the control room, ready to open a door there.
