Suddenly the door went flying through room as if someone had kicked it with superhuman strength and a far more lunatic laughter erupted than the one before. The two both ran behind the closest object they could find and ducked down. There was no one at the door, and the laughter was coming from further inside the other room.

They couldn’t believe their senses. “How? How is it possible?” Their minds couldn’t make out what had happened and they just kept staring blankly in front of them. They wanted to stay focused if they could hear any footsteps or other noises, but no matter how hard they tried their minds just wandered back to the question of “how”.

As if the door stunt wasn’t enough, the two little cabinets Tom and James were hiding behind started moving as well. Slow, at first, but they gradually picked up speed moving toward the center of the room, leaving the gunslingers exposed. While they were busy observing the moving furniture the door they entered through slammed shut.

In panic, they didn’t know what to do. Where to hide. It was the first time they had encountered anything like that. “Try and run away? Try and shoot whoever is inside that room? Quit the quest and plead for mercy?” The possible scenarios were endless, but their time to make a decision short.
