Chapter 28 - The Final Confrontation

The massive oil rig devolved into a chaotic, terrifying war zone of smoke and echoing gunfire.

He was desperately limping toward the upper helipad, trying to cowardly escape the destruction of his final stronghold.

He drew a heavy revolver, his hands shaking with furious desperation as he aimed it at my chest.
He screamed that I had ruined the beautiful, violent legacy his generation had built.

He pulled his trigger in a blind rage, but his outdated weapon violently jammed.
I did not give him a second chance to fix his fatal mistake.
I fired a single, flawless shot directly into his chest.
The impact threw him backward over the weak railing of the metal catwalk.
