Dean takes up position behind her, back to back and aiming his gun into the darkness that spreads all around them. Nothing, there's nothing, just settling dust and their own harsh breathing, until -
There's a sound so small, so shuffling and slight, that Dean could think he imagined it, but it doesn't stop. Straining his ears, Dean steps away from Faye, gun trained first right, then left, but still there's nothing, but the sound continues, seems like it's getting closer, and Dean looks up.
"Faye!" he shouts, but he can't stop the Splicer's descent, its inhuman body unfixed from the ceiling above, red hooks in hand and headed right for Faye. There's no time to warn her, no chance to shoot its body without risking hers, and Dean does the only thing he can do. He takes a running leap and barrels into Faye with enough force to shove her out of the Splicer's path, twisting as they fall to fire a round through the Splicer's chest.
