The music begins to play louder as he places the bullet back in the chamber. He puts a clip in the gun and cocks it. Breathing heavily and crying, he squeezes his eyes shut and brings his arm with the gun to his head and almost pulls the trigger. A piano is heard in the back from the CD and Creasy stops brings the gun down, and takes the bullet out of the chamber. He holds the bullet in his hand before slowly placing it in his pocket.
