Anna ran for the truck, hesitating at the gunshots then jumping into the seat and closing the door. The smell of blood was almost coppery to their more sensitive noses. Anna brought the gun around and brought the window down just enough to fit the barrel out then returning fire at the ones on her side of the jeep. She had her teeth clenched around the pain sound she dared not give voice to. They still had more important things to worry about at the moment.Zypher and Navar ran from the door to the car. Navar jump in the back seat, while Zypher threw opened the passenger side door for Anna. But as he rounded the car and opened his own door to get in, a single shot rang out and struck him in the shoulder. The momentum of the bullet drove him into the door. He quickly recovered and got inside the car before another shot struck the front finder. "Anna, Hurry! They're going for the engine! Then we'll be sitting ducks!" He yelled as he started the car and put it in reverse.

Angela's handler put her on the bed and quietly walked out of the cell. . She then dimmed the lights to almost dark and left the room.

Markus smirked up at Star. "Point taken, no pun intended. It appears I'll have to redesign your final holding cell a little. Thank you for showing me your true strength." He then looked over at the dog, confused by it's actions.

Angela stayed where she had been placed for the longest time before finally shifting to human and curling up on the bed, covering herself with the blanket and shivering though she wasn't cold.
Star whinnied and reared, striking the dog's cell before turning to try to break the door down to leave the area. She didn't want to be caged, she wanted to be free, and she had only shown a portion of her real strength. About as much as any normal horse of her same size and build.Dawn snorted and looked at her, then Markus, then back to Star. Fear and realization suddenly took over her. "Why aren't you running? Talking to me isn't helping anyone escape any faster." The last part of her statement was almost a whisper as her gaze fixed upon Markus once more. She rammed herself back into the side in a failed attempt to reach and bite him.
