He feels the ground hit him, slamming into him harder than the bullets. It's the last thing he feels, or expects to feel, and he closes his eyes and expects the pain to carry him away--but it doesn't. He's left with the ground, which is solid under his back and shoulders, and... darkness, complete darkness. That doesn't shock him either; the pain being gone, he admits, is more of a surprise. But then again he's heard what men say about the last few seconds between life and death, in the case that you're afforded them. Goodnight Robicheaux closes his eyes and prepares--he supposes--to meet his maker.
