falling sky

Buildings sped by on either side of Applejack, but her thoughts were elsewhere.

"i wonder if i'm too late." she thought.

suddenly the entire car jolted, the sound of shattering glass was all Applejack could hear. The car skidded to a halt as applejack released the gas, she sat there in a daze. She was brought back to reality by several repetitive fuzzy booms, which Applejack immediately recognized as gunshots. She instinctively ducked down and took a second to get her bearings. The car was severely damaged, this was apparent even from the inside. As the gunfire slowly subsided, Applejack took the chance to peek up at the direction of the gunfire. several cars were lined up several meters away, each had two men in suits with Tommy guns next to them. Applejack pressed herself back against the floor. "shit." she mumbled. She fumbled with her six-shot, an idea already forming in her head. She lifted the gun above her head and pulled the trigger 3 times, then she immediately slid into the drivers seat and slammed the pedals. yelling and the sound of engines could be heard behind her, but she was determined to reach the lab in time.

The lab was really just a run down warehouse near the bay. The bay was a large body of murky water with warehouses lining the side. the north side of the bay was a bustling trade center filled with foreign traders and cruise liners, but Applejack was headed to the south side. The south side of the bay was abandoned after a fire set by police in an attempt to smoke out some gangsters back in prohibition times got out of control and burned down most of the building. ironically, drugs were still made and shipped in this area, although mainly in the underground passages left by the gangsters and long forgotten by the police.

Applejack had made the trip many times, so the lab was easy to find. At first glance the warehouse housing the lab looked normal, just like all the surrounding buildings. But Applejack knew better. for starters the door to the warehouse was never open, much less blown of its hinges. She spotted a poorly hidden black van in an alleyway, most likely put their quite hastily. She overshot the building by 2 blocks for safety, but close enough for a quick getaway.
