Sam Fisher- Lei's Blade

  Fisher heard the thunk of the door latch being thrown. In that instant, as his eyes instinctively flicked toward the door, Lei had moved. His good hand was coming up and around. Fisher saw a blade flashing toward his face. He jerked his head backward, felt the blade slice the space where his neck had just been. The door opened. In his peripheral vision Fisher saw a figure standing at the threshold.

  "Run!" Lei shouted. "Blow it! Blow it now!"

  Fisher fired. Lei's head snapped back. As he fell backward, Fisher saw a black quarter-sized cavity where Lei's right eye once was.
