She could run, but she couldn’t run fast enough. The Scout’s figure disappeared in her blurred vision, leaving her limping behind as a result of the bullet wounds in her leg and abdomen.
Finally reaching a secluded corner where she wasn’t likely to be seen by enemies charging past, Jack collapsed and assessed her wounds.
It wasn’t too bad, right? She could pull through without respawn. She just needed to get up and push on...
Nope. No dice. Her leg had completely given up on her, and the pain was making it harder to even think coherently.
She needed to have a serious talk with Scout after this match. She was supposed to be his backup, and she couldn’t do that if he was leaving her in the dust.
She vaguely thought about someone who could help her out...
Dare she call for him? Why would he even pay attention to her when he had all these other men to take care of? She was new. She was inexperienced. She was a liability. She only had a few bullet wounds and here she was, collapsed on the ground, unable to even move. She was pitiful.
She sighed. She might have a better chance at getting help from Engineer, but he was standing guard at a sentry nest on the other side of the battleground, and besides—
A sharp pain shot through her body as she shifted, and she gasped for air.
As if on instinct, although she still hadn’t made up her mind, she cried out.
