Duo Maxwell's cobalt eyes glittered madly. At that time and place, they held many emotions within their murky depths. The most dominant -- and one of the most uncommon emotions to overcome the boy's eyes -- were fear and a look of intense betrayal.
The teenager's eyes were wide, almost seeming to quiver. A heated flush arose to tinge his cheeks red, and he grasped the cold metal of his gun between hot and nervous fingers. A trickle of perspiration beaded its way down the back of his already sweaty neck. Time stood still.
He brought up the weapon up to eye level, hands trembling and refusing to stop. The movement itself was fluid, graceful in a way, yet time seemed to grow sluggish. Duo could hear every breath he took, he could feel his heart pounding relentlessly in his ears. His own gun was finally cocked.
But it was too late.
"Goodbye, Duo." The icy voice seemed to hold a pang of regret. Or maybe not.
He cocked back the hammer, pulling the trigger without any hesitation.
The braided boy's body fell to the floor limply, eyes no longer holding their terror. They were now nothing more than dull, glassy marbles. Red stained the concrete floor.
"Mission successful."
The lonely echo of footsteps was the only sound to remain after the sharp crack of the gun and the limp thud of the body.
