INT. HOTEL ROOM TO CORRIDOR – NIGHT
The silence exploded.
In one swift move, Raj slid out of the room—on his knees, gun raised in his right hand. Before the first man could even register the movement, Raj had his weapon aimed at him.
BANG. BANG.
Two shots fired into the man's stomach.
But Raj wasn't done.
At the exact moment, his left hand reached back and grabbed the enemy's gun, pushing the barrel up toward the ceiling to avoid any counterfire. The man staggered. Raj stood in one fluid motion—
The second man froze.
He didn't expect this. He took a step back, panic in his eyes.
Raj didn't hesitate.
BANG.
A clean shot pierced the second man's head.
He turned back immediately.
BANG.
A final bullet silenced the first.
Raj now stood in the corridor. His gun swept across both ends — eyes sharp, breathing steady.
Silence.
Two seconds passed. The corridor felt like it was holding its breath.

[Cut in – Ground level, low angle]
From near Raj's feet, the camera captured the aftermath.
On the left, Raj's blood-soaked boots.
On the right, the two bodies sprawled on the floor.
The tension still lingered like smoke in the air.
Click—Clack.
The empty magazine dropped.
A quick reload followed.
(3 seconds)

[INT. DARK ROOM – CONTINUE]
Claw leaned closer to the CCTV feed.
Extreme close-up.
His eyes darted across screens, searching for movement. His jaw clenched.
(2 seconds of silence)
---
[INT. HOTEL CORRIDOR – CONTINUE]
Pan back. Low angle.
Raj dashed across the corridor, from left to right. His boots thudded lightly on the floor. He moved like a shadow — fast, silent, precise.
---
[Close-up – Pan Follow]
He reached a corner wall and stopped. Breath calm. Gun steady.
He peeked around.
Suddenly—
A man came charging from the hallway, turning the corner sharply. He raised his gun.
Too late.
Raj bent slightly backward, dodging the shot by inches. His hand snatched the attacker's gun, while his own aimed low.
BANG. BANG.
Two shots to the ribs.
The man staggered, gun falling.
Raj gripped his own with both hands—
BANG.
Headshot.
The echo rang.
---
[Quick cut montage – Reactions]
Elsewhere in the building:
Men looking at blood trails.
A body collapsed halfway through a doorway.
A flashback of the 2 men Raj had already taken out in his room.
Five down.
Three more remained. And they were already closing in.
---
[Following shot]
Raj ran.
He jumped over the railing of the third floor, grabbing onto a hanging rod. His muscles strained, but he swung down — landing on the second floor. Without stopping, he dropped again to the first with a shoulder roll.
His eyes caught movement—
Another man rushed in, weapon raised.
Raj pressed his back against a low wall corner, hiding. Calm. Timing it perfectly.
[Cut in – Side long angle]
He got on one knee, waited—
(Slow motion)
As soon as the man came close—
BANG!
A shot to the chin ended it all.
(Back to normal speed)
Suddenly, another attacker appeared from a blind spot, eyes wide. He noticed Raj — and fired.
Missed.
Raj dove forward, rolling onto his knees, reloaded in one sharp move, and returned fire:
BANG – one shot to the legs.
BANG. BANG. – two shots to the stomach.
The man collapsed as he got closer, bleeding and defeated.
---
Raj stood.
Alone. Breathing. Eyes scanning.
Three bodies lay behind him. Five more were already dead.
But Claw…
Claw was still watching.
And this was far from over.
