Quick Fast in a Hurry

The shot ricocheted way too close to Napoleon’s head for comfort.  “Illya!” he called to his partner who was behind him calmly picking the lock that was blocking them from  freedom, “A little alacrity right now would be greatly appreciated!”

“I am almost there, Napoleon,” the Russian replied unhurriedly.

“I can’t hold them much longer!”

Illya unlocked the door and in one fluid motion, yanked Napoleon out with him while lobbing a grenade through as Napoleon pulled the door shut before turning to run behind his partner.

Brushing himself off, he turned to Illya and said, “Cutting it close, weren’t you?”

“We are alive, stop complaining.”
