"One...Two, Three," the male voices shouted suddenly.
Kasumi scrambled backward as door burst open, scattering bits of wood and one of the hinges. She landed on her rear, having tripped herself up in the rush to flee.
Weak sunlight streamed in through the doorway, outlining the two figures who'd smashed their way into the clinic. For a moment, no one moved. The two looked just as surprised as Kasumi felt, but there was a slight difference, as she found herself staring up at the two handguns suddenly focused on her.
The situation wasn't wholly unexpected, but the guns were making her extremely nervous. It wasn't helping that she'd fallen in what felt like a compromising position, though the other two didn't quite seem to notice.
"Can I help you?" The words slipped from her lips before she could stop herself.
The taller of the two men moved toward the fallen nurse, the earlier suprise replaced by a mask of indifference.

A few blocks from Tofu's clinic, a girl in tattered clothing was running for her life.
She passed by a dozen dilapidated buildings, keeping close to the high brick wall that seperated the residences from the street. Her staccatto footfalls were punctuated every so often as she risked small glances over her shoulder. While she could no longer see her persuer, there was no doubt in her mind that she was still being followed. After all, she was wounded, and leaving a clear enough trail.
Clutching her right arm, the girl kept moving. The sun was rising over the tops of the houses, and the light spurred her on.
In the distance, a gunshot rang out.
