justprompts - Shock
Her gun was drawn as she moved through the hallway of the embassy in Italy. 72 was supposed to be rounding the other corridor, but she couldn't hear him. She silently cursed the partner thing again. She hated having a partner.
She neared Bernard Giro's office and focused herself. Before she could push her way in, she felt the heart sinking feeling of the barrel of a gun to the back of her head. Her eyes closed slowly.
"Where are you going, Sadie my love?" The voice came over her shoulder in Italian and she kept her composure.
"Looking for you," she replied lightly in Italian. "But now I have found you." She turned around, slipping her gun into the waistband of her skirt. She gave the old man a smile and wrapped her arms up around his neck. Her head tilted and she let her lips pout a bit. "Aren't you happy to see me?"
"What is this?" His hand moved to pull her gun from her and he held it up. She was able to avoid shuddering at his touch and her shoulder moved in a brief shrug.
"Should the woman you love not protect herself?"
It seemed to happen slowly. His arm came up, her gun pointed out, and he fired it. She looked over her shoulder and saw 72. He was falling backwards to the floor. Not getting up. Eyes wide, 99 looked at Bernard. "What did you do?"
"Who are you?" He seethed, his words changing over to English.
He had her gun pointed at her and a firm hold around her waist. She was cursing 72 for not listening to his mic and hearing what had been going on. If he had just turned around...her mouth opened to reply, come up with something, but it was too late. He pushed the gun down along her stomach and fired it.
