Thick drops of blood splattered onto the cold, sterile floor, leaving a crimson trail in Leo's wake.
A deep gash tore through his side, the wound pulsing with sharp, searing pain as he staggered forward, pressing a shaky hand against it in a desperate attempt to slow the bleeding.
His fingers were slick with his own blood, his grip weak, but he had no time to stop.
The facility around him was eerily silent, save for the distant hum of flickering overhead lights and the faint echo of his own ragged breaths.
White, sterile walls lined the dimly lit corridor, the scent of antiseptic thick in the air.
He had trusted the wrong people.
He had placed his faith in the wrong hands.
And now, he was paying the price.
