It took about two and a half hours of sitting at the bottom of the pool before Piotr’s water-dulled senses and the weight of his steel-coated limbs lulled him into a few moments of true peace. But as always, the flashes of his past came flooding back and the serenity he’d found was replaced by pain.
Giving up, he got to his feet and slowly walked up the gradual incline. As his head crested the water, he was nearly blinded by the sun. Squinting, he made his way over to the chair where he’d left his towel and fell into it lazily.
He’d done the same thing dozens of times before and knew that the chairs could hold his weight…but that had been when he wasn’t armored. In the space of a heartbeat, Piotr found himself laying on his back, a smashed desk chair sandwiched between himself and the ground.
