David tutted but didn’t linger

Riley watched hio as only one man stayed behind A man he’d trained, and he saw the man was torn

“It’s okay, John”

“I don’t want to do this”

“You heard the man”

John raised his gun but rather than shoot Riley in the head, he put a bullet in his left leg “I am sorry”

Seconds passed, and Riley heard the door close

John should have killed him

He was known for getting out of tight situations, and being chained to a wall, bleeding to death, was a piece of fucking cake to him

All chains had a weakness, and he’d felt the ceed on the chains, and within minutes, the chains broke free

He dove toward his wife, the love of his life and held her lifeless body in his arms

“I will kill him, baby I promise This is not your fault I will make sure he suffers before I finally kill him” He kissed her cheek and held her close

As rieved him, he couldn’t stay here He had to leave, and to do that he had to wipe away all traces of his presence

This wasn’t the first time he had to disappear, and it wouldn’t be the last Even broken, hurt, shot, in pain, Riley had always been able to survive, and now, he had a mission—take out David Peace, one man at a time
