## Plot

Lenny waits for Texas outside of the Indigenous Wares store, but he never comes. He suddenly gets a call from Tex's phone and it turns out to be the voice of General George Travis, who wants both Lenny and Tex dead, but vows to hold off killing Tex until he comes and surrenders at the old St. Lucia Heaven's Gate Fort, just over the Winnie Parish line, where if Lenny surrenders, he will kill him quick and let Tex go. Lenny knows that he is lying, but decides to go to Heaven's Gate to confront Travis and hopefully rescue Tex.

Lenny calls Jack to bring reinforcements to Heaven's Gate, which he agrees to, but cannot promise their quick arrival as most of them are still in hiding after Morino's overthrow. Lenny finally arrives and begins to attack the soldiers, either violently or silently. If Travis is alerted, he gets on the loudspeaker and yells that he knew Lenny would come, but he announces that he will give him five minutes to reach him or he will kill Tex. If Lenny does not alert Travis, he continually orders his soldiers to keep alert for Lenny's arrival, but no time limit comes on.

Eventually, Lenny storms Travis' office, where he holds Tex at gunpoint. Using his Shooter Eye, Lenny shot Travis in the chest, causing him to fall out of his window, presumably to his death. Both Lenny and Tex then realize that more soldiers will be on the way and will try to ambush them. The two then set up the courtyard to be prepped for the ambush and the two brothers-in-arms defend themselves together against waves of National Guard soldiers. The two agree to then split up to clear out the rest of the fort and hold out until Jack and his reinforcements come, but after clearing one side of the fort, Tex is cut off on his comms and Lenny rushes to his last known location, where he notices that Travis survived and is holding Tex hostage in the courtyard. Lenny then subtly climbs a nearby tower and grabs the nearby sniper rifle to take aim. With no clear shot on Travis, Lenny has two choices: either let Travis kill Tex or shoot Tex in the head in an act of mercy, an act which Tex pleads Lenny to do as he knows that he cannot escape.

* If Lenny shoots Tex, the latter notices Lenny and gives one final smirk as Lenny takes the shot to Tex's head, ending his life instantly. Lenny gains *Integrity* for mercy killing Tex.
* If Lenny allows Travis to execute Tex and Tex's *Integrity* is **Serene**, he will be shot in the back and will slowly bleed out. He will stay alive until the end of the mission, but Lenny loses *Integrity* for this action.
* If Lenny allows Travis to execute Tex, but Tex's *Integrity* is **Bitter**, he will instantly be shot in the side of the head by Travis and killed on the spot in front of Lenny. Lenny loses *Integrity* for this action.

In either case, after Tex's death/mortal wounding, Lenny tries to snipe Travis, but his fast movements enable him to evade, calling in reinforcements. Lenny gives chase to Travis across the fort until he climbs to the highest scouting tower of the fort, where the two men engage in a final hand-to-hand combat, but the two find and grab spare machetes and begin engaging in a machete fight. In the end, Lenny wins when he stabs Travis through the stomach with the machete. Travis then demands for Lenny to finish him off as it is what he wants, with his final dying wish being the ability to see Lenny as a monster.

* If Lenny's Integrity is Vengeful, he will swiftly and violently decapitate Travis and yell out after performing this act before tossing his head towards the center of the fort, fulfilling his dying wish. His head will later be present.
* If Lenny's Integrity is Merciful, he will leave Travis to bleed to death in the tower from his impalement as he screams out to finish him, denying him the satisfaction of seeing his mental state collapse.

Lenny later returns to the courtyard to finish off the rest of the soldiers alone until Jack's reinforcements arrive. In the end, Jack finally arrives and kills the fleeing soldiers with his reinforcements and approaches Lenny.

* If Lenny shot Tex, he will stare solemnly and mournfully at Jack. The two then approach Tex's body, with Lenny collapsing to his knees and screaming in agony as Jack mourns over Tex.
* If Travis shot Tex in the back, Lenny and Jack approach a dying Tex. After Lenny tells him that Travis is dead and tries to get him to hold on, Travis hands Lenny his dog tags and dies. Lenny then screams in agony as Jack also collapses to his knees.
* If Travis shot Tex in the head, the same scenario plays out as if Lenny shot Tex.

Three days later, Lenny, Paul, and Jack bury Texas' body in a clear and peaceful riverbed area next to the Pearl River in Callahan Parish, with Lenny either choosing to leave Texas' dog tags on the cross or take them and memorialize them on the Wall of the Fallen Hounds.

## Trivia

* The setting for the mission, Heaven's Gate, is a reference to how Texas is close to death in this mission and the fort may be a gateway to his demise. This would ultimately prove true as Tex ends up perishing in Heaven's Gate.
