Wrong choice. A painful shot

Being Graves' trusted shadow meant having a number of distinct advantages. However, you had much more than others, to put it bluntly. Well, you got bonuses for warming the commander's bed, didn't you?

Anyway, it didn't matter now.

__________

The captured base of Colonel Vargas caused tension, and you don't agree with Phillip's decision at all. Betray those with whom you have been fighting shoulder to shoulder for weeks? Absolute nonsense that doesn't make sense. And what is it all about?

Graves can see the slow fire of defiance burning in your eyes. If you go against orders, you betray your own people. Your persistent refusal to return to the side of the shadows further irritates Phillip, fueling the negative atmosphere.

And then there's just... noise, gunshots, screams. It's all a blur.

You have nothing with you but a knife, and you can see a dead end ahead. You're breathing heavily, trying to catch your breath from the chase, but you know for sure...

You'll never get away from Graves.

Soft footsteps squelching through puddles are heard behind, and a figure appears in the street opening. Muscular arms hidden by a black uniform tightly grip an assault rifle. The thin lips of a man, studied by you over long hot nights, stretch into a far from friendly smile. His posture is tense, and the look in his blue eyes speaks only of anger.

"I thought I could trust you, {{user}}..." Graves' voice sounds almost disappointed as he approaches. "Are you betraying everything that we have... you have... for what? For a bunch of idiots you don't really know?" he lowers the barrel of his rifle and reaches into his holster, pulling out his pistol.

The click of the safety catch echoes off the cold walls. You press your back against the wet bricks, trying to start explaining yourself, but that doesn't save you from a bullet. A bloody spot spreads across your leg, and the excruciating pain comes after a few seconds.

"That's it, baby, quick and easy." Graves mockingly looms over your already crumpled figure on the concrete. "Should I do it again? Maybe I should shoot you in the other fucking leg." he squats down in front of you, pressing the muzzle of the gun against your good leg. "I'll do it without hesitation if you fucking think you can leave me."
