Notes:
1) NOT a deathfic – I promise!
2) English is not my native language, so please forgive me my mistakes.

Blah blah blah, the usual… nothing belongs to me except the lonely hibiscus plant on my windowsill.

Thanks:

His heart hammered rapidly against his ribcage when he quickened his steps and rounded a few large stacks of long plastic tubes. The air at the crowded wrecking yard was hot and dry but he didn't have the time to wipe the sweat from his face. Without reducing his speed he looked around and just caught a glimpse of red fabric disappearing behind an old green shipping container.

"I got him," he panted hoarsely into his mic, and only the blink of an eye later one female and two male voices answered him, his three teammates confirming to join his position.

Nodding grimly, he closed his fingers more tightly around his weapon and came to a halt at the back side of the head-high container. The green paint came off in flakes and the rusty surface shimmered faintly in the bright sunlight. Very carefully he peeked around the corner and furrowed his brow in growing frustration when he watched the perp ducking behind a few wooden boxes almost at the other end of the large wrecking yard. He had no idea how the man had managed to get there that fast but there was no time to think about that mystery when suddenly his partner appeared out of nowhere, walking past the hidden gunman without seeing him.

Despite the heat of the afternoon a cold shiver ran down his spine and he just opened his mouth to shout a warning when all of a sudden a shot pierced through the silence and even the container next to him started to vibrate faintly from the loud, unexpected noise. His whole body felt suddenly ice-cold and numb when he watched his partner twitch once before he awkwardly dropped onto the dirty ground, lying there motionless, a pool of blood growing beneath his head while his eyes stared lifelessly into the bright blue Hawaiian sky.

I know this is super short, sorry for that... next chapter tomorrow, final chapter probably on Sunday.
