Trav begins to panic and look around franticly, he then pulls out a small, crumpled piece of paper that he has written something on. If anyone looks closely the paper is an affirmation to himself that he is the one who decides his future. After reading the paper again he seems to calm down. At this point in time a soldier seems to appear behind him holding a rifle and levels it. Trav then starts to scream for help before he is silenced by 5 rounds piercing his skull fires. The paper slowly flutters to the floor and is stained with blood. If anyone looks closely the soldier is wearing a dog tag with only the name Trav Brown legible anymore.
