You quickly observe, to which he responds with complete seriousness. "As an enemy-class NPC, such tricks are pointless on me!" Also these NV Goggles are too high-tech. Get with the times.
Well, you seem out of options so... You pick up some of what's left of the door and hit him in the crotch with a particularly sharp piece. Owie.
While he's doubling over in pain for his nether regions, you try to run past him as the heroic background music picks up. You'll make it!
...Nah you're stopped a few steps ahead, blinded by a bright light. It was Arthur, holding a flashlight looking for you and dressed as security.
"A'ight, okay. TO, TO. Stop!"
You swing your arms around before calming down. The security guard stopped moving too.
Eventually you stand back in your two feet, sweating as you remember the urgency of the situation. "L-Look, Scott- Err, Arthur. Good to see you and all but I gotta get going, NOW."
He chuckles, as some UAA clean up crew walk past, heading to the storage room. "I said, time out. You beat an assassin. Time to rest. Chapter's over!" he explains casually. You just stare, baffled. "H-Hold the fucking phone, I'm in the middle of a high-speed mission, and I haven't even MET my target yet! This shit makes no goddamn sense."
He just jokingly replies "It does make sense. From a gameplay perspective."
"This is some bullshit, they'll get away!" You protest. "Time won't pass, just stop your whining and let the credits roll. You'll get old and wrinkly, nagging so much."
"Hey! Wait! No it's not over yet! It's not-!!!"

(That's it 'til tomorrow. Dunno if I should take a break with the holidays and all, don't really celebrate anything myself so I could just keep going, it's just if people will post or not.)
