    Summary

    Zeno had gone still like a deer caught in a pair of headlights. Dried blood crusted the corners of his mouth. Crimson stains spread in messy swathes around the curve of his throat. His mouth crooked open as if to speak yet still no sound came. Leon took a step closer. His hand rested firmly on Requiem where it was nestled in the holster tucked against his ribcage. Two rounds remained after he dealt the death blow to Gideon. He estimated it wouldn't take more than one shot to put Zeno out of his misery. His thumb stroked the wing pattern of the grip thoughtfully. The other man flinched away from the agent. He squeezed his eyes shut as if he were expecting the blast of the gun to be his last taste of the living world. Shoulders hunched, Zeno tucked himself further under his lean-to of rubble as if he were afraid.

    Of Leon of all people.

    --------
    Leon gives Zeno a second chance at life, knowing damn well the consequences that will inevitably befall him.
