While Ellie takes aim, Joel stays back, pistol at the ready, surveying their immediate surroundings. He hears the quiet ping of the bow, the even quieter whistle of an arrow sailing down towards its target, the faint wet sound of the arrow sinking into flesh. The choked, gurgling sound that comes from the asshole Ellie's just shot. Rinse, repeat.
He creeps forward just in time to see Ellie take out a third; his eyes cut across to another Hunter that's heard a disturbance.
"Shit," he whispers under his voice. "Back, back, get back." Hand grabbing her backpack, he scurries backwards, tugging Ellie with him. And just in fucking time: a shot suddenly fires right at the very spot Ellie had been crouching just seconds before.
"Up there!" he hears one of Hunters down below shouting.
Joel wastes no time. Giving Ellie a firm shove, he hisses, "Run! Run!" at her just as footsteps start pounding up the metallic stairs, just as another gunshot fires up in their direction. "I'll be right behind you! Run!"
