The General's mechanical fist tore into his back, pulverizing his skin like paper before grabbing his heart and tearing it out of his chest!
"Ahhh…!" Leon gasped and staggered.
For a brief moment, the pain made his eyes glaze over again, and then he looked down at the hole in his chest where his beating heart should have been.
His heart was gone!
Leon staggered again, but he didn't pay attention to his missing heart. Instead, he paid attention to something else, someone else… Lt. Colonel Umar Farouq.
Leon looked at the Lt. Colonel with a pained look on his face, a look that was filled with deep meaning and questions.
'Why…?'
Lt. Colonel Umar Farouq looked away.
Seeing it, Leon almost laughed. 'Wow…,' he thought. 'Wow. After everything, after everything I did. After everything that we went through together'.
He laughed, coughing blood.
'Well, what did I expect?'
