Sam Fisher- Hotel Shootout

  Fisher switched his grip on Greenhorn's body, grabbing him by the collar, then took aim on the nearest Al-Mughaaweer and fired. Even as the man fell, Fisher adjusted aim, fired again, and dropped a second man. The other two scattered toward the nearest cover and opened fire.

  Greenhorn's body began jerking as it took the bullet strikes. Fisher felt something pluck at his left arm, then his right side. He felt no pain, and assumed/hoped the RhinoPlate was doing its job. Behind him he heard the glass cracking. With Greenhorn as a shield, he kept firing, backing toward the door until he felt his heel bump against it.

  He holstered the pistol, plucked a flash-bang grenade off his harness, pulled the pin, and tossed it. Per Fisher's preference, the grenade ran on a quick two-second fuse. He closed his eyes. Through his lids he sensed a flash of white light and felt the concussion ripple through Greenhorn's body.

  Fisher drew the pistol again and started firing, hoping to keep the gunmen's heads down. He reached back, turned the doorknob, opened the door. He dropped Greenhorn's body, turned, sprinted across the balcony, and dove over the railing.
