Matthew now prepares to shoot the same man he already shot once.

Re: Fire fight on the bridge
It doesn't take long before the unknown soldiers retaliate. Behind Beckett, he hears a familiar sound of a grenade hammer being launched and the metal clanging of a canister hitting the back barn door. It's a high explosive (HE) grenade thrown against the back door of the barn. The grenade explodes, throwing pieces of the door into the air and causing many pieces and fragments to catch on fire. His time stop ability to lock the door seems to have faded away and allowed the grenade to explode on the door. A hole just bigger than a man is blown open in the door and Beckett can see another unknown soldier through the hole.

Re: Fire fight on the bridge
With two openings in the barn and trapped between armed men, Beckett begins to take care of one of them, before taking care of the other. He turns around, away from the open doors and towards the lone gunman. In a matter of moments, Beckett is on his way towards him and only stops to send a round in his direction.

On the other side of the barn, the two men make a plan and split up. Beckett doesn't see the squad leader, but the wounded rifleman fires another round into the barn, but misses Matthew.

Re: Fire fight on the bridge
Beckett rushes outside the barn, kicking up dirt as he turns to the left as soon as he's out. Although he cannot make out the squad leader, which makes him slightly nervous, he wants to use the barn as a large cover and to his advantage so he can take the shooters out seperately without the interruption of the others. And if it goes bad he can still turn back and have some time to try something else until they can set their sights on him.

Re: Fire fight on the bridge
With the things happening almost as he thought it'd go, Beckett takes two steps along the barn towards the wounded sharpshooter. He fires another round at the man, hoping to take him out so he can focus on the remaining thug.

Re: Fire fight on the bridge
The squad leader moves around the corner of the barn keeping his rifle in the ready position. Moving quickly, he turns the corner to find the two remaining men have Beckett cornered on both sides.
That is until Beckett hears, a shout coming from slightly above him, "Chyort voz'mi!" comes a rebel yell from the Russian. Looking back over his shoulder, he finds Tiska, a pitchfork, and the squadleader on the ground in that order. The pitchfork seems to have punctured through the Kevlar vest piercing into the man's chest. With the weight of Tishka on top of him, he doesn't appear to be a threat.
Tishka rolls off the man and finds the squad leader's rifle within arms reach. "<Russian> Oh, man, my head. Its hurt, you know."

Re: Fire fight on the bridge
"<Russian> You better keep it down for a few moments. It's bad enough it hurts, but it'd be worse if you lose it completely. Or most of it anyway. By the way, well done, Tishka," Beckett says and throws a quick glance to the incapacitated squad leader and a smile to his Russian comrade.
As soon as he turns away from the men, Beckett runs a few yards along the barn to get a better view on the last sharpshooter. He's not sure if he's going to just trap the man or shoot him, but he takes his chances with another round before trying to resort to his power.

Re: Fire fight on the bridge
Tiskha picks up the squad leaders rifle, checks the magazine, and then moves to put his back against the exterior wall of the barn. Even though the former KGB intelligence analyst and computer hacker hasn't seen much combat, he's familiar with the basics of field work.
