Chapter 6 � Day 4

The woman was just as delusional as her son. No matter how she pleaded with Mrs. Collins, even using the threat to Henry�s life due to her presence held no sway on the woman. She just continued applying make-up on her face to make her pretty for her precious son for the wedding. She knew she couldn�t gain her freedom through the woman who Mrs. Collins went over the where the dead man lay and started applying makeup on him as well.

*****

This is a nightmare. She had died during the mission to retrieve the Bright Star database and has landed in hell. How else to explain the situation she was in.

She stood unsteadily on her feet, her hands cuffed in front of her, as Mrs. Collins starts playing the wedding march. In this bizarre world, Henry is the one walking down the aisle instead of the bride. Henry walked shyly toward her in a hideous 70s suit that obviously once belonged to his father.

�You look beautiful.�

She listened numbly as Mrs. Collins recited the vow. No sooner did Henry promise to marry her until death do they part, a shot rang out and a bullet hole appeared in the middle of his forehead. When she turned back toward Mrs. Collins she had also been shot. She watched wearily as several armed men entered the basement.

One of the men walked toward her and demanded: �Where�s the disk?�

�I don�t know what you�re talking about.�

The slap in rebuke was no worse than the ordeal she�s just been through for too many days to count.

*****

Her vision was graying around the edges as the noose around her neck slowly choked the life from her. It was ironic that after surviving a pair of lunatics, she will now die at the hands of the people she took the stolen disc from. Her only regret was that she couldn�t see Michael one last time before she died.

The pressure against her throat suddenly eased as she dropped down to the floor. She looked up to find Michael was there, looking worried and relieved. He gently removed the noose from her throat and lifted her into his arms.

Finally safe for the first time in days, she looked around at the dead terrorists and the lack of other footsteps. �Oh you should have had backup. You had no way of knowing if I was going to be all right. What if this had been a Bright Star sub-station? Hmmm? You wouldn�t have made it out of here.�

Michael held her tighter in his arms and softly replied: �If you weren�t alive, it wouldn�t have mattered.�
She closed her eyes and gave thank to whoever listening for answering her need to see Michael again.
