The Shadow and the Scorpion

After blowing up a few more things John no longer had any traps available to use in their current positions, and more than that he could no longer spot Fade. He only got a look at Fade's silhouette once and that was it, he had shot Fade but for some reason his shot actually missed. On the other hand, Fade was able to destroy all of his decoys and most of his hidden cameras. It was then for a brief moment John had but one thought, Fade was better than him. The second that thought of his came to mind he shook his head vigorously. 

'No, I'm already thinking as if I already lost. I can't think like that, to a true assassin a loss means death. Today will not be my end.' John calmed his mind as he took his weapon and was about to change his location.
