   Summary

   Something tears in Rio's chest. Something—
   But—
    
   But this feeling’s nothing compared to the feelin’ of three slugs.
   The impact of shock, only to be swept away in the violent riptide of betrayal.
   The heat of intense burning while his spleen is eviscerated.
   The panic of leaving Marcus behind.
   The suffocation of not bein’ able to breathe, drowning in his own blood while Elizabeth leaves him.

   Rio goes for his glimmering gun and, as he does so, he looks up at her. His eyes meet Elizabeth’s.

   The two of them—they're nothin' but two grenades, each holding the other’s pin. Pull one, and they both go off. All destruction, all catastrophe.
