[ WP ] He walked into the dimly lit bathroom .

The flickering flourecent light painted the porcelain tile in a muted green hue. He let out a ragged breath as he reached for the sink and turned on the faucet. The water sputtered before giving way, alternating between brown and clear. Turning his face up from the sink he glared into the cracked mirror in front of him. The blood had n't even dried yet, beads running down his face like crimson rain. 
 
 How did you let them find you again, he thought to himself. He had been so careful this time, only using cash, moving from one small town to the next. He'd given up on trying to get lost in cities, even in places that big it seemed impossible to make himself small. 
 
 A groan from the other room brought him back to the present. He splashed the water on his face and ran it through is hair. Turning the faucet off he made his way back to the bedroom of his motel room. There are the ground lay the source of the tortured sounds. The man was dressed in a nondescript way, just jeans and t-shirt and a jacket. All of which it seemed had n't seen the inside of a wash machine for a good while. It was hard to remember what he had once looked like, the left side of his face caved in, his nose flattened and broken. Most disconcerting was his jaw, obviously broken gave the impression of a snake's unhinged maw ready to devour its prey. 
 
 The dying man tried to form some intelligible words that only resulted in mewling and a coughing fit that caused more blood to flow from his lips. His assailant reached down to quiet him. 
 
 `` There is no need to speak, we both know why you came here but only God knows how you expected it to play out in any way other than this.'' 
 
 The man on the ground managed to give him a hard look through his one blood shot eye. 
 
 `` The shape you're in you wo n't make for a good messenger. But perhaps you can be a message of sorts...'' 
 
 The victims eye went wide as he saw his attacker's hand move to the nightstand where it withdrew a tactical knife, matte black but gleaming nonetheless.
