The feeling in my gut tightens as I start to shake, the adrenaline rushing through my blood just now starting to subside, I holster my weapon and keel over on the ground. "What the hell just happened?" I say out loud to myself, as I look at the blurry blue and red lights flashing around me, looking at the dead Pitbull Man that I just killed. What have I done? "Oh fuck..." I say as I get sick. "Hrrmph!" I manage to blurt out as I puke up my dinner on the parking lot of the 24/7 market....I just took another man's life...

Everyone thinks he should have recovered after that much time, but Allan still haunts Elliot every night. He struggles to maintain relationships with his family, and despite a coworkers interest he can't summon up the courage to date. Elliot is living for the past, because to live for the present means he'll have to live with a hole in his heart.
