Spooks drabble - 3x07 - Ruth
Ruth. 100 words. Episode 3x07. Not my characters.
. . .
Ruth looks up at Andrew as he pours the diamonds into his cupped palm, wondering what she can say to get through to him. If she doesn't, he will kill her. It is too much of a risk to let her live, but she's not ready to die.
His expression changes, his hand falls to his side and the diamonds rain onto the floor.
She knows what they have done, knows that it is too late for Andrew now, and as she watches him die she weeps for the loss of a gifted man, and the waste of a life.
