A lone figure paced back and forth with visible urgency. Inside his mind a fierce debate raged. The instinct to find a quiet secluded place had been overwhelming. His logical mind was confused as to why he was being forced into this. Still, here he was alone in an isolated sector of TC, definitely against his conscious will. Something was driving his actions and he could feel that he had barely any control left.
Continuing to pace more frantically, tears started to fall. This was the end, he knew it. He could do nothing to stop it. His hand reached behind his back and drew his gun from his waistband. As his pacing finally stopped he angled his pistol….
A single shot broke the silence of the rundown warehouse. If anyone had been near they would have heard the accompanying thud as the body slumped lifelessly to the floor. As though unimpressed the world around the body settled back into deathly silence.
