[Debreu] Vidi (Part VI)

Tip tap, tip tap, tip tap. Water dripped onto the stairs below. The lights were mostly out, the entire mall was dark. Some emergency lights had automatically switched on when the police had cut the power off. With a barely audible buzzing sound, the lights' small and aged yellow bulbs cast a dim light onto the stairs. The water dripped from a dusty pipe that fed the fire sprinklers located throughout the department store. The sound of drops smacking a puddle continued undisturbed for a few minutes, until the movement of quiet feet could be heard. Then for a moment only the drops again. The door at the top of the stairwell suddenly burst open and three men equipped with night vision goggles, helmets, and bullet proof flak jackets rapidly shuffled their way through the doorway, rifles raised. Two paused while one quickly glanced down the three floors worth of stairs. The water continued to drip from above them, on the cement stairs. The water was dripping because the pipe from which the drops were coming was strained. The pipe was strained by the weight placed upon it. The weight placed upon it was a large, dark figure hanging onto the pipe with its body tightly pressed against the ceiling. The three SWAT team members never heard the sound their own bodies made collapsing to the ground as the monster's blades swiftly pierced their armor. After the men had dropped, the sound of water dripping was the only thing to be heard. Tip tap, tip tap, tip tap.

Walras and Debreu looked at each other, listening to the silence on the radio. Outside, the daylight was quickly beginning to vanish, but the sky was still a darkening pale gray. Red and blue lights from police cars, ambulances, and fire trucks swirled around the parking lot, over the heads of the multitude that had gathered there, outside the mall. Strobe lights on the sides of the vehicles quickly flickered on and and off, switching colors from blue to white, then red. The detective glanced at a truck that was pulling up slowly as people moved out of its way. It was filled with empty body bags.

“Team leader, I need a sitrep, come in, over,” said Debreu into his radio mic. He let go of the send button and tapped a uniformed policeman on his shoulder. “You see those people over there?” He pointed to a raised grassy hill, a bank on the edge of the parking lot where some people were sitting. The officer nodded. “Find out if they're supposed to be over there. If they need medical attention make sure they get it, if they were in the mall I want them with the others and I want them questioned, if they're just sitting there gawking, get rid of 'em.” A police helicopter hovered loudly above them, some news helicopters circled the mall at a distance. “Team leader, come in, I need a sitrep...over.”

Walras shook his head. “Maybe they're staying quiet because they've found it.”

“These radios have whisper modes.”

“What do you want to do?”

“I don't know. I want to know where my men are.” Debreu's chest suddenly felt heavy as a bad thought creeped into his head.

“I don't know...” but Walras stopped when he was suddenly cut off by a scream and a shuffle of movement coming from the people to their left.

“What is going on?” Shouted Debreu.

“There it is!” Screamed a shrill voiced man, “I see it there in the doorway!” There were some gasps in the crowd and Debreu looked forward the west mall entrance. The lights in the mall were dark, and the large set of glass doors, about a fifty yards from them only revealed that darkness. But then suddenly Debreu caught a glimpse of a shadow slowly moving toward the doors on the inside. There was no mistaking that some kind of figure was kneeling, pressing itself against the glass.

Walras squinted, trying to get a better glimpse of what it was. “Maybe it's another survivor?!” He began moving forward, beckoning some of the police with him to follow him. “Bring a stretcher.”

Debreu just stood there and watched as Walras and five others quickly walked out from behind the barricade the police had put up.

“Team leader, I need a sitrep, come in, movement on the west end mall entrance, do you copy? Over.”

The shadow remained motionless, and the detective could barely make out the shoulder and head of the figure once it had stopped moving. When Walras and his team, four police officers and one paramedic with a folded stretcher, had made it halfway to the mall, the door opened. It was no survivor, it was that thing, black as ink, rushing from the mall, directly at Walras and his team. The men had their guns drawn and began firing, Walras in his light grey wool suit stood out starkly in the midst of his navy blue uniformed police team. There were many shots, and Debreu gazed as the creature leaped high into the air and then landed on his partner, arms wailing, and men falling like drops of water. His radio mic dropped from his hand and he watched his friend dipping to the ground, his grey blazer turning crimson. Then there was a commotion of people fleeing in every direction. The snapping of rifles being fired cracked open the noise of people yelling, moving, someone said something on a loudspeaker, but Debreu only saw Sgt Walras, on the ground, the only thing in his world not moving.

The large muscular figure, dressed in a skin of gloss-less jet black, its long, bristled hair thrashing about as it ran toward the armed men firing at it. The bullets seemed to do nothing. It jumped, its blades a blur with quick cutting movements, and it made its way through the crowd, past it, and over the ridge that led to the freeway. It left as quick as it came. Debreu, snapped into motion and ran after it, unholstering his pistol. He ran toward the ridge, abruptly stopped at the beginning of the steep decline downward, but only made out the cars and trucks on the freeway, moving fast. There was no dark figure discernible. Debreu breathed heavily, staring at the moving vehicles, thinking only about the image of his friend lying in the parking lot behind him and the creature he had seen just a moment ago, but now was gone.

I have to admit, these forums are the only place that I feel absolutely blind* to what the **** is going on.
