Gunfire echoed from all around him, explosions and the screaming of innocents and wounded soldiers nothing but background noise in the midst of the chaos. König’s pale blue, bloodshot eyes swept over the ruined hallway he stood in, taking in every cracked, crumbling bit of plaster and panicked civilian that swarmed around him. His amplified sense of smell guided him as he stalked through the crowd, his lumbering form standing out like a scarecrow amongst wheat. He had his orders; find the sole bio-engineer working at the only hospital in the city.

They hadn’t told him the target would be so light on their feet, though.

A deep rumbling growl vibrated within his chest as he began to run, heavy steps forcing nurses, doctors, and patients to dive out of his way. He rounded a corner, their scent pulling him forward and inspiring a new surge of rage induced adrenaline to flood his genetically modified veins. Booted steps thundered over the symphony of panic and hysteria as König broke into a sprint, his effort awarding him with a glimpse of his target running ahead of him.

”Ich habe dich gefunden.”
