DISCLAIMER I DO NOT OWN GEARS OF WAR OR ANYTHING TO DO WITTH IT.
We were camping out in the courtyard of a crumbling mansion. We had orders to move on after daybreak the next day. Until then we had time to rest. As I stared into the burning embers of the fire that Dom had made Carmine Had walked over and sat across from me. "Hey Marcus can I ask you a question?" Carmine asked "Just make it quick." I replied wanting to spend the time alone. "You've told me a lot of how ben died, but you haven't told me much about Anthony. Clay replied poking the fire with a stick. I sighed knowing I would be telling another story about one of the carmines. "Well that was a long time ago Clay, I can barely remember it, what I can memorize is that we were on our way into a building and taking cover while checking if we were alright, Anthony had said something about his gun jamming and while checking got shot in the head." I explained, Clay waited thinking there was more but soon realized there wasn't. "Well thanks anyway Marcus." Clay said and left.
The truth was, that wasn't really the story. What had happened was that Anthony did get shot but was still alive clutching at his throat for air. While Kim and Dom were covering me I had taken off Anthony's helmet seeing parts of his head blown way. I could even see a little of his brain, he was still alive, but barely. I knew there was nothing we could have done, his wounds were too serious. So I did what I thought was right, I shot him putting him out of his misery. Since Kim had died only I and Dom knew what had happened. We decided not to tell Ben, or Clay of what had happened. It was for the best. As I daydreamed of that day I heard Dom shout "everyone up, we got enemies approaching the gate!" He yelled I got up and started to take cover "Maybe one of these days I tell you clay." I thought aloud and started to cover Dom.
