A/N: numb3rs100 Prompt 178: Combat. This is part of my Carter!verse, and directly follows If I Had To. This will make a lot more sense if you read that first.
Dwayne had offered to take Colby with him to China nine months ago, but Colby couldn't... or wouldn't. Now here he was, sitting on a freighter watching Lancer's men zip-tie his best friend to a chair. Lancer wasn't supposed to know about Colby being a triple agent. Dwayne pretended to be shocked- he wasn't supposed to know either, after all. Dwayne still had a gun on him, but it was too risky to pull it right now. Colby had a chance to go back to the US, but Dwayne didn't. If he could just buy enough time, to get them to China, to get Colby to safety...
Dwayne winced at Colby's words, “If I had to.” It was a bitter mockery of Dwayne's own promise to himself, to save Colby again, if he had to. He knew that Colby didn't trust him, that he hadn't for years but it still hurt.
Colby was being stubborn, and Dwayne was starting to panic. By the time the FBI showed up, Dwayne didn't know what to do. Lancer went to inject the last drug, but Dwayne just couldn't let that happen. His shot was perfect, point-blank, and Lancer was dead. He felt that rush of adrenaline before pain exploded through him. He heard the sounds of continued combat around him as the edges of his vision darkened. He heard voices, American voices, and felt fingers at his pulse. Through the closing tunnel of his vision he saw FBI Agents trying to resuscitate Colby.
As Dwayne fell into unconsciousness, he prayed that he died, that he wouldn't have to go back to prison., and that Colby lived, that he hadn't been too late. Dwayne never though about it, but he had always know that he would die for Colby, if need be.
Comments are love.
