If the truth is told, number five is waiting for his emergency combat chems to kick in, because nothing says 'I can totally defend myself against an unseen opponent' like a stimulant that makes you vibrate at speeds a tuning fork would envy.

He's just gonna scootch his rifle out with a baseball cap over the end in the hopes that it takes the shot for him before he tries to aim.

Chems: not even once.
