Chapter 86: Rooftop
He had no time to look at the screen since Theo knew it was just a time-buying thing. Theo didn't remember reloading, or even moving through the corridors.
To him, every single turn brought another fallen guard, another breath closer to the monster that had destroyed everything…
And after a few more minutes, he finally found Ethan standing in a control room and Theo couldn't believe it.
His white shirt was torn, his hair looked damp with sweat, but his smile remained calm...
"Theo," Ethan called him like a greeting to an old friend. "You finally found me."
Theo raised his gun. "Where is she?"
"Hahaha!" Ethan laughed. The sound was beautiful and horrible at once. "I expected a thank you. You should be grateful. I brought you back to life. You were lost before me."
Theo fired once. The bullet grazed Ethan's shoulder, spinning him backward. Ethan stumbled, laughed harder.
"There it is," Ethan hissed. "The rage. The fire. You finally look alive."
