Chapters 53 - Warehouse 43
Argyle kept replaying the same mistake over and over in his head. The last time he had seen Pete. Instead of running off like he did, she and Zelda stood their ground and fought back against the infected. He didn’t intend to leave them, assuming that they would follow after realizing fighting these new infected the conventional ways wouldn’t work. But he was wrong. He told himself it wouldn’t have mattered if he was there or not. Taking on multiple enemies was never his forte. It’s the reason he always preferred using stealth to defeat his foes. But staring down at her now, lifeless, he realized that it should’ve been one of the times he didn’t run. He should have stayed with them. Maybe then they all could have fended off their attacker or attackers.

He fell to his knees beside her and took a quick scan of the area. Some kind of struggle had gone down. The broken glass, the pushed furniture, and the scattered objects painted a very vivid picture in his mind. None of endless picturing of what could or couldn’t have happened to her matter as much as the end result: her lying on the ground, as white as the snow falling from the sky, and her chest not rising as it should. “No,” he told himself over and over again as he placed one palm on top another before proceeding to beat them down on her chest.

“I won’t let death take you. Not yet. Not now.” He said to her as if she could hear him still.

After about thirty seconds of consecutive compressions he tilted her head back. Argyle then brought his mouth to hers to breath air into her before going back to working on kickstarting the her heart. The only thoughts that ran through his head at this moment were how this was his fault and how it couldn’t be her time yet. Pete was still young and should’ve had a long life ahead of her. She didn’t deserve to die not. Not like this.
