007 (6) - Diary Entry [Private]
007 - (6) Canon prompt (OOC): Write a diary entry from your character with their thoughts of a specific event that deeply impacted on their life.
"I'll get Miss Turing to safety, and I'll come back for you, John."
That's the last thing he said to me -- and he didn't come back. He's gone. Taken -- by her. By the very person I sent out to him. I protected her and gave her a straight, unimpeded shot at him without me around to protect him.
It's Charlie Burton all over again -- and possibly just as lethal, considering what happened to Corwin. I gave her an all expenses paid tour of how we work as a team, of what we're capable of, and I essentially unleashed her on him, while keeping everyone who might have been able to stop her busy following me.
Yeah, I couldn't have known; hindsight is 20/20, whatever bullshit you want to say to reassure me it's not my fault. Except it is my fault. I've been trained to see through this kind of thing. I've been trained to read people and figure out exactly this kind of trick.
And I failed.
And because I failed, the person who means the most to me in the whole world is gone. Taken somewhere, held in the clutches of a computer genius who also happens to be an evil shrink.
I have to get him back -- before she can do too much to him... Before she has a chance to do too much damage.
Right now I wish I didn't know so much about torture.
When I find her and get him safe, she'll wish that, too.
