Capítulo 2

The Price of Survival in a World of Shadows

In the rain-soaked mountains of Patagonia, a soldier codenamed Bones cradles his dying comrade Abrahm. Breaking protocol, he removes his mask, revealing his true name-Bradshaw-as Abrahm bleeds out from a fatal gunshot wound. The rest of their squad secures the perimeter while Abrahm takes his final breath, his eyes fixed on Bradshaw's exposed face. Their mission has gone catastrophically wrong because Rit Squad never appeared at the checkpoint as planned. As Abrahm's life slips away, something fundamental shifts within Bradshaw-vengeance takes root in his heart, a darkness that will define him for years to come. Two years later, Nell Gallows boards a flight to California, anxious about her reassignment to Malum squad after surviving a Level Red mission that killed her entire previous team, Rit Squad. On the plane, she finds herself seated between twin brothers-the friendly, flirtatious Eren and his cold, scarred brother Bradshaw. After awkwardly falling onto Bradshaw during turbulence, Nell is struck by his icy demeanor and striking appearance-pale blue eyes and facial scars that tell stories of violence and pain. When Eren invites her for drinks on her last night of freedom before reporting to her new squad, Nell accepts, knowing tomorrow she'll meet her new partner-a ruthless operative codenamed "Bones" whom she's heard terrifying stories about. At the nightclub, while Eren fetches drinks, Nell notices Bradshaw watching her from across the room with predatory intensity. When another man approaches her, Bradshaw intervenes possessively, leading to an intensely sensual dance that culminates in him taking her back to her hotel on his motorcycle. Their encounter is passionate and primal-Bradshaw dominates completely, telling her bluntly, "I'm not here to get to know you" and "I like it hard." Nell notices his body is covered in scars-knife wounds and bullet holes-suggesting military experience similar to her own. After their intense encounter, Bradshaw surprisingly stays, joining her for a late-night meal where they share personal details-he reveals being orphaned and considered dangerous as a child, while she admits to fearing the ocean. Their connection deepens until Bradshaw suddenly realizes she's "Penelope Gallows," the new member being assigned to his squad. The revelation that they'll be working together shatters their brief moment of intimacy.

Capítulo 3

The Monsters We Become to Survive

Nell arrives at the military base the next morning, hoping Bradshaw isn't on her immediate squad. She adopts what her former sergeant Jenkins called the "cold bitch face"-a mask of indifference essential for survival in this male-dominated environment. As she marches through the cement fortress, she ignores the demeaning whispers and stares from male soldiers, remembering Jenkins' lessons on navigating this world. When she enters the war room, her new squad-Malum-greets her with undisguised hostility. Eren introduces the six members: Jefferson (Jobs), Pete (Badger), Ian (Colt), Harrison (Wasp), and to her horror, Bradshaw, whose code name is Bones-the infamous "death god" she slept with. They mockingly assign her the code name "Bunny," making it clear they blame her for surviving while her Rit Squad died. The squad openly antagonizes her, blaming Rit for not showing up at a checkpoint in Patagonia, which resulted in them losing their teammate Abrahm (codenamed Achilles). They make it clear they'll try to force her to quit during their month-long training mission. Despite their hostility, Nell remains determined to earn their respect and complete whatever mission General Nolan assigned her. When confronted by Ian's taunts, Nell responds with a chilling reminder that "bunnies will consume their own under stress," referencing how Rit specialized in tracking and killing traitors. This silences the squad's mockery, with Jefferson calling her and Bradshaw "psychopaths." Alone in the women's showers, Nell wonders how she'll survive this assignment. The hostility escalates when Bradshaw lures Nell away from her night watch post with a false alarm. Jefferson and Pete emerge from the darkness, and the three men pin her to the ground. Bradshaw draws his KA-BAR knife and cuts open her clothing, exposing her before cutting a crescent beneath her breast. To Nell's confusion, her fear mixes with unwanted arousal. Jefferson and Pete, realizing Bradshaw has gone too far, intervene. When Eren learns what happened, he punches his brother for the first time ever. What none of them realize is that beneath Nell's tough exterior lies a dark past. At fifteen, she witnessed her parents' brutal murder before savagely killing their attackers, discovering her talent for violence. This led her to the dark forces-government operatives who work outside public knowledge, conducting morally corrupt missions under classified orders.

Capítulo 4

Broken Souls Drawn to Darkness

Despite Malum squad's efforts to break her, Nell proves her worth during training exercises. She defeats Jefferson, Ian, Harrison, and Pete in sparring matches, revealing combat skills that earn reluctant respect. When Bradshaw challenges her, they engage in a brutal fight that Eren eventually stops, both of them bloodied but neither willing to submit. During a trial raid, Nell provides expert sniper support as Bradshaw infiltrates an enemy base. After the mission, he confronts her alone, demanding she quit the squad. Their argument escalates into a physical fight that sends them tumbling off a cliff edge. Surprisingly protective during the fall, Bradshaw discovers Nell's wound from his knife attack has reopened and helps bandage it despite their animosity. Their interaction reveals a disturbing tension between violence and attraction. After leaving Nell alone in the woods, Bradshaw retreats into the forest, his hands covered in her blood. Instead of triggering his usual post-training anxiety, her blood arouses him. As he pleasures himself, he's disturbed by their mutual attraction despite his efforts to push her away. Later, when Nell checks on Bradshaw in his tent after he experiences a PTSD episode, she finds him unmasked and vulnerable. Eren explains this is the third such episode in two years, then leaves Nell to watch over his brother. In his vulnerable state, Bradshaw pulls Nell close, confessing darkly that he pleasured himself with her blood after their cliff encounter. Despite her better judgment, Nell is drawn to his darkness, and they engage in another intense sexual encounter. The next morning, Nell joins Eren on night watch. He surprisingly tells her to call him by his first name and mentions that Bradshaw is calmer when she's around. Eren reveals he once dreamed of being an astronomer, then asks about her past dreams. Nell shares she once wanted a small coffee shop with books, living above it with a husband-a stark contrast to their current reality. Eren observes that she's "a monster too" like Bradshaw, adding that the dark forces require people like them-"easy to throw away once the job is done."

Capítulo 5

Secrets That Kill and Truths That Wound

As their training mission continues, tensions within the squad gradually shift. Jefferson admits to Nell that none of them have been the same since Patagonia. Harrison explains that "a part of Bones died with Abrahm that night. And a darkness was born in his heart." When Nell questions why Bradshaw remains active despite being psychologically compromised, Eren explains that in their line of work, the only way out is death or "earning your cards" through years of service. During a rare moment of vulnerability, Bradshaw admits to Nell that he sees traits of Abrahm in her, which fuels his hostility. "He was my peace," Bradshaw eventually confesses about Abrahm, a sentiment that resonates with Nell, who shares that her former sergeant Jenkins was her peace too. As they wash in a cold stream, Bradshaw briefly imagines a different life where they could be normal, perhaps even in love, before rebuilding his emotional walls. The squad's dynamic is further complicated when Bradshaw and Nell develop an increasingly volatile relationship. After catching them in an intimate moment, Eren confronts his brother about his erratic behavior, reminding him how much he's sacrificed to keep him in the military despite the general's disapproval. Bradshaw responds with cold indifference, claiming he's an animal that can't be fixed, and that Eren is merely "prolonging a shitty ending." As the mission progresses, disturbing revelations emerge. Nell learns that someone in the squad poisoned Bradshaw and may have planted the black bullet that killed Abrahm two years ago in Patagonia. Meanwhile, Bradshaw discovers that Nell's record is "gruesome and disturbing" with suspicious circumstances around being the sole survivor of her previous mission failure. The truth begins to surface when Nell reveals the trauma of losing her entire squad in Patagonia. They were ambushed with bombs that blinded them before explosions threw their vehicles off the road. She tried to save Sergeant Jenkins but was knocked unconscious, and when she awoke, Jenkins had dragged her to safety despite his severe injuries before urging her to escape without him.

Capítulo 6

When Trust Becomes a Liability

During a mission in the mountains, communications break down and the squad becomes separated. When someone claiming to be Jefferson contacts them on the radio, Nell detects it's not his voice and prevents Ian from revealing their location. Bradshaw, believing she's sabotaging the mission, threatens her with his knife. When their teammates seemingly appear, explosions suddenly rock the area. In the ensuing chaos, Nell moves silently through the smoke, efficiently killing enemy soldiers with her knife. She becomes hollow, mechanical, focused only on eliminating threats. When Bradshaw finds Jefferson severely wounded, he leaves Nell to guard a captured enemy soldier. Upon returning, he discovers both the prisoner and Ian dead, with Nell claiming Ian was the traitor who tried to kill her. With his gun aimed at her head, Nell refuses to be taken prisoner, pressing her forehead against his weapon while simultaneously placing her own gun under his jaw. Before either can pull the trigger, an explosion throws them to the ground. When they regain consciousness, Bradshaw's wrists are bound and Bradshaw lies protectively over her. After checking their broken headsets, they search for their squadmates. When Bradshaw finds a working headset and speaks with Eren, his demeanor changes completely. Eren orders him to "exterminate" Nell after learning she killed Ian. Bradshaw tries to choke her but can't bring himself to finish the job, tears streaming down his face. As another plane approaches and trees crash around them, Bradshaw becomes pinned by a fallen tree. Despite Eren's orders to return to the drop zone immediately, Nell refuses to leave Bradshaw behind, even as their extraction helicopter departs without them. Stranded together, they take shelter in an emergency bunker where Nell asks Bradshaw to promise that if necessary, he'll be the one to kill her-not Eren or anyone else.

Capítulo 7

Betrayal Wears a Familiar Face

In the bunker, Bradshaw finally reveals the devastating truth: Eren's fight with his weapons dealing partner two years ago led to the attack on Rit that killed Nell's squad. Even worse, Eren had Nell recruited to Malum as "insurance" after discovering she survived. In response, Nell delivers her own crushing revelation-she was the one who fired the black bullet that killed Abrahm, though she was aiming for Bradshaw. He nearly strangles her in grief but can't bring himself to kill her. Despite this mutual betrayal, they find themselves unable to hate each other. Bradshaw confesses he no longer wants to be Bones-the heartless killer-and dreams of a normal life with Nell outside this violent world. "Together, our broken pieces can do anything," he promises. They share their dreams-her bookstore and his once-desired family-finding unexpected comfort in each other's arms. Their fragile peace is shattered when soldiers attack the bunker. After a brutal fight that leaves them both injured, they're captured and brought to a modern, camouflaged fortress. Separated initially, Nell is eventually escorted to meet the enemy captain. In a shocking twist, she discovers Eren beaten nearly to death and a masked man who attempts to sexually assault her in front of Bradshaw. The assault is interrupted by the arrival of Jenkins-Nell's former commander whom she believed dead. Jenkins mocks her for growing soft and reveals the truth about Eren, who tried to kill him after wanting a bigger share of their illegal operations. Jenkins ordered Bradshaw killed in retaliation but still needed Eren. He admits the squad's deaths were just a diversion to protect himself. When Nell asks why he made her kill for him, Jenkins confesses he liked that her hands were as dirty as his-she was his "personal little reaper" who eliminated many innocent people simply for being in his way. To save Bradshaw and Eren, Nell offers to stay with Jenkins, pretending she wants to be with him. Before they leave, Bradshaw confesses his love, but Nell can't say it back, knowing it would only make him stay.

Capítulo 8

The Price of Freedom

Three years later, Nell lives with Jenkins in a strange domesticity. He shows only his gentler side, doting on her wishes as they enjoy morning walks and lavish trips to London and Florence. She hasn't killed since that night, and Jenkins never asks her to participate in his operations. During a walk by a frozen lake in Labrador, Jenkins unexpectedly brings up Bradshaw, noting how they looked at each other with "the weight of the universe" in their eyes. Six months later, when Jenkins leaves for London on business, Bradshaw appears in Nell's room, having come back for her after three and a half years. "I never left," he tells her, explaining his heart has been with her all along. He confesses he's been watching her all this time-through binoculars, across rooms, via surveillance-waiting for the right moment to rescue her. Their escape plan is complicated by Jenkins' return and the ensuing confrontation. In the chaos, Eren sacrifices himself to allow Nell and Bradshaw to escape, stepping into a minefield to delay their pursuers. Just one kilometer from extraction, they're ambushed again. Jefferson and Pete fall in the firefight, and Nell is shot in the stomach. Jenkins appears, taunting Bradshaw about Eren's death. They fight brutally until Bradshaw overpowers Jenkins, beating him until his face is unrecognizable. Nell stops him, asking to finish Jenkins herself. Despite everything, she feels sorrow as she kneels beside him, stroking his cheek gently. He asks her to hum "Davy Jones," his favorite song, as he dies. "I love you, Jenkins," she tells him through tears before putting a bullet in his head. As they limp toward extraction, they hear a shout behind them-impossibly, it's Eren, being carried by one of Jenkins' men. One of Eren's legs is gone below the knee, the other barely attached. They reach the helicopter together, where medical personnel help them aboard. As they leave Labrador, Nell presses Jenkins' music box to her heart, wondering if they're finally free.

Capítulo 9

When Monsters Find Their Way Home

Five years after the events in Labrador, Bradshaw, Nell, and Eren have forged a peaceful existence in a centuries-old stone cottage nestled deep in the misty highlands of Thornhill, Scotland. The remote location, surrounded by rolling hills and dense forests, provides the perfect sanctuary from the dark forces of their past - forces that presumably counted them among the dead after the catastrophic events at the facility. Together, they've created something none of them dared dream possible: a real family, bound not by blood but by shared trauma and mutual understanding. Eren, despite losing both legs in their escape, has found new purpose as part of their unconventional household. His military precision now manifests in meticulous garden maintenance and watchful protection of Bradshaw and Nell's precocious three-year-old son, Nathan. The boy, inheriting his parents' stubborn independence, frequently declares he doesn't "need a nanny," though his gleaming eyes betray his deep attachment to his mechanical-legged guardian. Their cottage walls tell stories of loss and remembrance - carefully arranged photographs of fallen Malum squad members capture moments of camaraderie before everything changed. Pictures of Abrahm's rare smiles and Jenkins's determined expressions serve as daily reminders of the sacrifices that made their current peace possible. The home rings with Nathan's laughter, punctuated by the occasional melancholic notes from their antique piano. When Nell pauses at the piano, her fingers trailing over the silver music box - Jenkins's final gift - Bradshaw recognizes the familiar weight of memory in her eyes. He understands; his thoughts often drift to Abrahm's final moments, to conversations left unfinished and words left unsaid. In quiet moments, Nell's fingers sometimes trace the symbol she carved into Bradshaw's back during their darkest hours - a mark that evolved from a brand of ownership to a testament of their shared journey and transformation. "In the end," Bradshaw often reflects, watching his unlikely family through the cottage's weather-worn windows, "I fell in love with a Rit soldier after all." The irony isn't lost on him - how the very thing he once fought against became his salvation. Their story transcends simple redemption; it's a testament to how monsters, when they recognize their own reflection in another's eyes, can choose to build something beautiful from the ashes of their past. Through their scars, both visible and hidden, they've proven that even the most damaged souls can find healing in unexpected places. In finding each other - soldier and experiment, hunter and hunted - these broken warriors finally discovered what home truly means: not a place to hide, but a space to heal, grow, and love without reservation.

Capítulo 10

The Scars That Shape Us

What makes "Leave Me Behind" so compelling is its unflinching examination of trauma and its aftermath. Both Nell and Bradshaw are products of their violent pasts - orphaned, weaponized, and used by systems that view them as expendable. Their scars, both physical and psychological, aren't hidden or romanticized but rather integrated into who they are. Nell's burn marks from the orphanage fire and Bradshaw's shrapnel wounds become physical manifestations of their survival stories, each mark carrying its own haunting narrative. Bradshaw's PTSD episodes, triggered by the loss of Abrahm, reveal how deeply military trauma can fracture a person's psyche. His violent outbursts and self-destructive tendencies stem from unprocessed grief and guilt. We see this most powerfully in the warehouse scene, where a backfiring car sends him into a dissociative episode, reliving the IED explosion that killed his best friend. His subsequent panic attacks, night terrors, and inability to sleep without checking the perimeter demonstrate how trauma reshapes daily existence. Similarly, Nell's calculated efficiency in killing and her complex relationship with Jenkins show how early trauma can reshape a person's moral compass. Her methodical approach to violence - learned in the brutal training programs of her youth - becomes both a survival tool and a burden she carries. What's remarkable is how these characters find healing not by escaping their darkness but by finding someone who understands it. Their connection isn't despite their damaged parts but because of them - they recognize in each other the same capacity for both violence and tenderness. As Bradshaw tells Nell, "Together, our broken pieces can do anything." This understanding manifests in small but significant ways: Bradshaw instinctively knowing when Nell needs space during her flashbacks, Nell recognizing the signs of Bradshaw's incoming panic attacks and knowing exactly how to ground him. In their final scene, living quietly in Scotland with their son, we see that healing doesn't mean erasing the past. The photos of those they've lost, the music box from Jenkins, the scars they both carry - these remain part of who they are. Their son grows up knowing modified versions of their stories, understanding that his parents' strength comes from surviving their darkest moments. The way they've transformed their hypervigilance into protective instincts, their combat skills into teaching their child self-defense, shows how trauma can be redirected rather than eliminated. They've managed to build something new from the ruins of their former lives, proving that even the most broken souls can find their way home if they're brave enough to trust someone else with their darkness. The novel suggests that true healing isn't about becoming "normal" but about finding ways to carry our wounds with grace. Through small daily rituals - Bradshaw's morning runs, Nell's target practice, their shared moments of silence - they acknowledge their past while refusing to let it dictate their future. Their story becomes a powerful testament to the possibility of finding love and building a life even when carrying the weight of profound trauma.
