The sound of his boots echoed down the seemingly endless corridor, his stride confident. He jingled his keys every few steps he took, as if to announce his presence and assert some sort of dominance. Outside this place, he never announced himself in a verbal way; his stature and build was always enough to do that for him.
His eyes moved back and forth as he surveyed the area, making sure things were secure as they always were.
But not this time.
He rounded the corner and froze, beyond startled when he saw a man standing there. There was something sinister about him and the evil smirk that curled his lip up made goosebumps form on his skin. "What are you-," His words were cut off by the man shoving him up against the cold tiled wall, his thick forearm across his throat.
He tried to reach his hip to call for help, but was seemingly unable to do so. His eyes met the man's again and when he blinked, his eyes were like the darkest of nights. They were completely devoid of life and empathy. Just two pits of emptiness.
He could feel his head getting fuzzy as he struggled to break free of the other man's seemingly inhuman grip, struggling to ignore the grayness starting to cloud the edges of his peripheral vision. His lungs were screaming out for air, begging for him to take a breath as the man, the monster, in front of him applied even more pressure to his windpipe.
The black eyed man leaned into whisper, his sour breath splattering across his face. "You'll never hurt anyone again..." He paused before he added. "And neither will I."
He barely felt the sharp object pierce his neck before the pressure let up and a warm wetness spilled down the shoulder of his shirt. He clapped a hand to his neck before he hit the floor with a resounding thud. There was a tugging at his right hip as his gun was forcibly removed from its holster. The gun went off a second later and he coughed weakly. It was a wet sound and there was another thud of another body hitting the floor nearby. He could hear a shout and the scuffle of boots moving towards them before everything faded to black.
