Mako carefully and gently punctured the very top layer of Leon's charred skin and inserted his knife through with great precision making sure to reach just the right depth and not to cut too deep.
With steady hands, Mako made a careful incision into Leon's chest, just below his ribcage. He carefully peeled back the layers of skin and muscle as he was instructed by officer Eric until he had reached the end of the burnt tissue that was surrounding Leon's lungs.
Blood had started squirting everywhere and Mako had to summon all his willpower just to make sure that he didn't faint or gag.
After taking a deep breath, Mako began to carefully remove the damaged tissue, working quickly to ensure that he didn't cause any further harm. He felt Leon's chest rise and fall as he worked, and he knew that he was making progress.
Officer Eric was an excellent guide who narrated the entire procedure and kept encouraging Mako while he operated.
