Xu picked up a pistol a shot the recruit in the knee. The recruit slumped out of the chair and grasped it with both hands to stem the bleeding.

"No. He was weak. Ling's failing was that when he was challenged by those in authority, he backed down or compromised. This was a man who initially followed the Volkhan before siding with the rebels in the Civil War.

He hesitated and tried to compromise, rather than picking up a gun and doing what every good Communist should do - Fight for his beliefs."

Looking down, he pointed the pistol at the recruits head.
