Snuggly has lost all the GADs and as he is leaving he doesn't care about it. So it is down to you to find them.
You approach SR Towers and storm in ready for the challenge you. In the corridor there are three doors, choose which way you want to go.

When it comes to fighting, the one thing I'm not is martial arty farty trained. I can do close combat, I can use handguns, I can snipe (I'm very good at that actually) and I can even use a frickin' crossbow.
December 2002 I was in that position. Some junkie held up a shop. I went for him, he got away and so I chased him through Partick. It was stupid, but instinct kicked in. My job is to protect, and I did that.
We were a block from Partick police station. I phoned 999 and explained where I was and what was happening as I chased him. Of course for some unknown reason the operator scrambled a squad car in Inverness, not Glasgow. Mong. Which was a shame since the police were so close by and could have headed him off.
It wasn't big and it wasn't clever though. He would have stabbed me had I not been a bit faster on my feet than him and more agile. When he knew that I could dodge his swipes he turned and ran.
I now know that he would have been happy to stick the knife straight in me. He was later caught. Turns out he was jailed 4 years ago for holding up the same shop. He gets out and within a week of release he attacks it again, albeit when I'm not there, takes the customers and staff hostage in the stock room. Emptied wallets and hand bags and even calmly took all the CCTV tapes with him.
A week later he attacked the same place again, and I was there. He got away and later on that day held up another shop about a mile down the road.
Despite a grand total of 29 prosecution witnesses and CCTV footage, at his trial in the high court he was "Not Proven". Despite several positive ID's at the identity parade. He had his parole revoked though. Woo. Justice at his best. One of the staff at the shop has now retired, having been at work three times when he held the place up.
Scum.

I don't consider this cowardly. If you know you aren't tough, but want to save family or a close freind, you'll instinctively grab the item most fit for doing what you wanna do. Don't feel different, in this sort of situation i'd do the same.
Walking up the street and a car pulls up and these guys get out and go for one of the guy with my mates. The kick him down and when my mates go to help out one of them pulls out a knife.
They just had to watch them kick the guy a few times and shout stuff at him. Then it turns out it wasn't the guy they are after just someone who looked similar.
One of my brothers mates got slashed when he was younger, just the wrong place at the wrong time.
I have to admit I would be weary to take one someone with a knife, but you have to be sure they are willing to use it. I would make an effort to get them to calm down and let things drop.
If it was someone I knew though I would do everything in my power to prevent the knife being used.
