*BLAM* *SPLORT*GUNMAN 3: We get what we came for, yet?
GUNMAN 4: This ain't it! Jamie and I will check this guy's room, both of you try the others!
Maximus Gran(YOU): Seven in the morning. A heavenly choir of screaming mixed with gunfire playing in the background wakes me up from a peaceful slumber.
Maximus Gran(YOU): The carelessness of these troublemakers hit me like a point blank shotgun blast. Whoever these chumps were, they certainly didn’t know the meaning of subtlety. Danger lurked outside the door to my apartment, fangs glistening in the dark. I had to be careful to avoid taking one in the head and meeting my maker.
(Quick note: Once Maximus Gran actually gets to see who the Gunmen are, they'll stop looking like this)
The GUNMEN outside start pounding on the door.GUNMAN 4: Ey! Open up and put your hands where I can see em! Maybe I won't gun you down like the others, eh? Don't make me have to bust a door and a cap in your ass!
YOU are in your apartment bedroom. Outside the apartment bedroom is the rest of your room, followed by the entrance to it. The GUNMEN will eventually bust the door down.
