In the spirit of Valentine’s Day, what is the most romantic thing you ever did for someone?
I remembered her name.
No, really. Alright, so I might have done something more romantic than that, but right now, all I can think of is Faith. Mainly because I just found out that I killed her brother, Simon Lehane to take his identity to kill Berrisford for Manticore, something that I have regretted since it happened, because of Rachel. This is the last time I pick up chicks at work. Or at Crash, or anywhere for that matter. Everything was fine until I found out that there was something about her. She could move, she was fast. At first I thought that maybe she was an X5, only she did not have a barcode, so that was kind of out of the picture. I still think there is something else about her other than this, but right now, I did not care seeing as I was tied up and my head was pounding.
Opening my eyes slowly, I saw her, staring at me with her arms crossed looking like a tough little cookie while Berrisford stood next to her, holding a gun and pointing it right at me, aiming for my face.
Well, today is going to be a wonderful day. I wish I was at work … actually doing work.
“So,” I started and looked over at them and just let out a small chuckle. This was just great, only the opposite. I was going to die any second and this time I could not quite exactly get to a phone to call Max to get me out of this one. Too bad she was not following me with that special nose of hers. I would have appreciated it this time.
Swallowing, I raised my eyebrow.
“If you are going to kill me, you better do it now because once I am out of this chair, you are both going to wish you were dead,” I warned them and started pulling at the ropes, only they were not moving. I was sure that if I kept on trying and focused, I could probably get them off, but after trying again, I thought against it. Either way, the threat still stood.
I knew that what I did was wrong, only at the time, I did not think it was, mainly because I had orders and if I did not do it, something worse would happen to me, and did. Of course, I only regret it mainly because of Rachel, but they did not have to know that. I cared about her, loved her and I tried to save her - but she was alive wasn’t she? Narrowing my eyes, I looked at Faith who was just thrown into this. She did not even know she had a brother and … what did we know? If she did meet him she would have probably hated him, but now she did not have the chance … which was my fault.
I started pulling at the ropes again, trying anything, groaning as I tried. He did not take his eyes off of me and his finger was resting just right to where he only had to move his finger less than a centimeter and then it was off with my head.
Did I mention how wonderful my day was turning?
