Ground Zero
You need to kill him, things are just going to get worse, or at best stay the same. All the shit that Elliot's done over the years has gotten to you, and you can't help, but feel partly responsible for all of this. Sure you don't like most people, but you're not a BAD guy. However you are serving a bad master. A really bad master, one that needs to be stopped now.
You take a deep breath and pace around the floor for awhile. Trying to psyche yourself up for your plan. You feel like you gotta take a shit, a piss, and vomit all at the same time. It's all in your mind though. Its just nerves. You stare at yourself in a blank monitor screen.
"You can do this you can do this " you repeat.
You then leave the computer room, ready to do what you have to do.
You don't get far when you see Elliot walking around with two guards and Leon behind him. You also see him with his wife Brenda and their two daughters. (Of course he didn't feel the need to make a "sacrifice" for the shelter)
"Shit." You say to yourself. You didn't think you'd have to shoot somebody down in front of their goddamned children. You nearly turn back around to re-think this plan, but you stop yourself again. If you don't do it now, you aren't ever going to do it. Besides he's seen you now anyway.
"Hey! How's our techie doin'? I'm surprised to see you out the computer room; I know how much you like to be alone. So what brings you out?"
"Well, uh there was something I really thought you needed to see "
"Oh? What is it?"
"Just this."
You pull your pistol out and you hesitate just long enough for Elliot to pull Brenda in front of himself resulting in you killing her instead. Leon catches Elliot from the blow back of Brenda's body and whisks him of to safety. One guard attempts to run at you, but is tripped up when Elliot's two daughters run screaming past him. The other guard reaches you, but you just manage to get a shot directly in his face. Gouts of his blood splatter in your own face temporarily blinding you.
The guard, who was momentarily tripped up, punches you in the face knocking you to the ground, he pulls out a knife to finish up the job, but with your hand still on your pistol, you fire a couple rounds in his chest causing him to slump to the floor beside you. You get up only to have the guard you just shot to stab you in the foot as a last act of revenge. You holler pain, and shoot him again, before pulling knife out of your foot.
Meanwhile you begin to hear other people yelling, screaming and fighting. Apparently your actions have caused a small rebellion. You've given people the incentive again to fight back. Of course it's going to be up to you to finish it. You limp as fast as you can attempting to stay out of the way of the major fighting, You see Elliot and Leon fighting some people and making quick work of them, you take the opportunity to open fire, blasting Elliot in the knee, he won't be walking anywhere.
Leon goes to pick him up, but you follow up with another couple shots, hitting him in the side. He goes down and attempts to crawl on top of Elliot, except Elliot kicks him away with his good leg and tries to crawl off instead. You finish off Leon and then kick Elliot in the face hurting your foot since you kicked him with the one that has the big gaping knife hole in it.
Elliot turns over holding his face and addresses you.
"Why? I was your friend! I didn't do anything to you! I left you alone! Look at what you've done to this place! It's descended into chaos! You've destroyed everything I've accomplished here!"
"I don't care." You say pointing the gun at him.
"WAIT! GODDAMN IT WAIT! If you kill me, you'll be making orphans out of my daughters! Can you live with that?"
"No I guess I couldn't "
Elliot smiles thinking he's found a loop hole.
"I suppose I'll just have to kill them after I kill you." you say.
Elliot's eyes widen and you gun him down before he can retort. He dies a lot quicker than he should have, but at least he's dead.
You were bluffing of course you wouldn't shoot his children; you just wanted to see his expression before he died. It brought a feeling of satisfaction to you, like you really accomplish something before your own death
Someone stabs you multiple times in the back with a scalpel while you were standing over Elliot. You fall mortally wounded, with anarchy all around you.
You don't know if you made things better or worse, all you know is you won't be around to find out.
