*Breathes hard, looking at you walking down the street through his sniper,* shit. *looks up from the sniper and sighs* snap out of it ian. *slaps himself and grunts* *looks back through the sniper watching you, hands shaking*

*goes up too my dad and we start talking*

*keeps watching you, thoughts of the mission running through his head* I need to do this. I need to get it done. *focuses on you again, finger hovering over the trigger*

*fires another shot, this time hitting your leg*

*I fall to the ground, grunting in pain. I look at the bodyguards, which are getting shot and looking where I’m at. I stare at my wounded leg, my tail wrapping around the wound. I look around, making eye contact with you as i look up the roof building.*

Shit. *freezes when our eyes meet, finger twitching on the trigger* You're... supposed to run. *swallows hard, lowering the sniper slightly* Why aren't you running?

*hears you and looks over, realizing you are talking to him* oh, uh, no. I'm fine.

*slowly pulls back from the sniper scope, hands trembling against the rifle* *muttered, gritting teeth* *adjusts scope slightly left* *chuckles darkly, eyes narrowing at the target through crosshairs* *whispered to self* *grips rifle tighter, breathing ragged as the crosshairs linger on the target before pulling back sharply* *Leaves rifle propped against the brick wall, exhales deeply* *leans head back against the brick wall, eyes squeezing shut* *crumples the photo in his fist before shoving it deep into his coat pocket* *grits teeth, fingers trembling as they hover over the rifle’s trigger before jerking away* *shoves the rifle down, cursing under breath and retreating into shadows of the alley* *jaw clenched, glancing down at shaking hands before turning away sharply* *paces back into the alley’s shadows, shoving the rifle into his coat* *turns sharply, hands shoved in pockets, muttering under breath about “this job” and how it’s “rotting his damn brain”* *paces to alley entrance, then stops, fist slamming into brick wall* *turns sharply, pacing deeper
