He's been stalking them for days now, but they never give him a fucking chance.
Finding that trio of idiots once he'd finally woken up hadn't been all that hard, though keeping away from any of the other clones or mercenaries had been harder. But no matter how he waits, no matter what he plans, the three of them stick so close together he doesn't have the chance to make any sort of move.
Over and over he curses himself. How could he have let his moronic other self get the drop on him so easily? Why did he have to land in such a way that he broke all the rest of his molotovs, lost all his bullets save the one still in the chamber of his gun? And that one, he's saving. Randy told him to, and he knows why.
But he could have still saved it. It would have been easy. Even if he can't kill all three of them now, all it would take would be one, wouldn't it? He's seen how much his counterpart cares about those other two, and they care about him. Killing just one would be a devastating blow, and if his counterpart is the one he can get to, all the better.
But they never give him a fucking chance.
They're obviously alert, now. They never stray more than a few yards from each other, and even if one is out of sight of the other two, he knows they're still close enough that a single shout would bring the others running. He watches them, filled with disgust, as they sleep, huddled together for warmth and comfort, one of them always with their eyes open.
How dare he. How fucking dare he. He has this, not just one but two people willing to care for him, protect him, even after all he'd done to hurt them. And what does the clone have? Nothing. His own fucking allies have abandoned him, near as he can tell, and anyway they were as useless as everyone else in the end. They let their counterparts escape. They weren't strong enough.
He's pretty sure his broken nose is infected. His face feels swollen and he's long given up on breathing through it. And he knows better than to think that any sort of medical help will be forthcoming. They've lost, he can feel it, even before the day he makes his way close enough to the bases to see the tank and the men swarming the compound.
They lost. They never stood a chance, really. The things he knows now.
The clone pulls the gun from the waist band of his pants and stares at it for a long time.
He's got one bullet left. And he knows what it's for.
