The Whistleblower
His ears were ringing.
Why were his ears ringing?
Why did everything ache?
Casen opened his eyes, suddenly aware of the smell of gas. Something flammable drenched the man’s legs, soaking through the fabric and skin. He moved, and glass crunched under the weight of the man’s attempt to drag himself.His ears were ringing.
Why were his ears ringing?
Why did everything ache?
Shit.
His surroundings came back into focus. Casen was in the back of a sedan, everything upside down and destroyed. Its driver was unmoving, hung suspended by his seatbelt. The car had wrecked. Another was approaching.
Shit. Shit.
Drunk with trauma, the man forced his body out the window. He wouldn’t make it far. He was no longer in a state to run, and was never in a state to fight. The car grew closer, its bumper evidence of what it had done to run them off the road. Headlights illuminated the broken body of Casen Ford.
A familiar man had stepped from the car, wearing a suit and bearing a handgun. More concerning though - syringes. Casen focused upon it, and he knew his fate was sealed. He knew exactly what the syringe had been filled with. Undetectable. Untraceable. A surgical scalpel to free loose ends. They had come to finish the job, should the crash had not done it alone.
The man approached, and it no longer mattered. Casen screamed. Casen fought. Casen died. The husk was left in the snow, freezing and twitching as the poison finished its course throughout the body of The Senior Special Agent, The Crackhead, The Lobotomized, The Vagrant, The Whistleblower - Casen Ford.
