Story
Chapter 1 - David
Lyneboro, CT - Rachel's House
I stared aimlessly into space, several short thoughts flickering though my mind, *David. Claire. Danko. Building 26.* My mind focused on one image, David. David Sullivan. I killed him that day at Pinehearst. Why did I have to inject him? I turned him into a monster. I killed him and lost a part of myself that day. I had promised him that I'd help him get out of the Pinehearst building. Instead, I killed the man I loved. I felt something wet fall down my cheek. I had started crying and I wasn't even aware of it. "Damn it, Mills. Get a hold of yourself. You're losing it." I muttered to myself. I stood up and grabbed a piece of paper, leaving a note for Leona when she got off work. I walked to the bank and withdrew $1,000, shoving the money into my pocket. I headed for the airport and booked a one-way flight for Costa Verde, CA. $200. Great. Leona is gonna kill me when I get back. The flight to Costa Verde was short and uncomfortable. Very uncomfortable considering that I am used to being on my feet.
Chapter 2 - Claire
Costa Verde, CA - the Bennets' house
The plane landed and I absentmindedly walked myself to her house, the directions etched into my mind because I read her file so many times. I have to get rid of that habit. I noticed that her driveway was empty except for a Nissan Rogue. That was her car. Good, I wouldn't have to deal with her mother. I knocked and she answered, not bothering to look through the peephole. She saw me and nearly shut the door on my face. I put my foot into the doorway, efficiently jamming the door, "Claire, let me in. I just want to talk." She stared at me, an angry expression written all over her face. "Claire, please. I just want to talk. 5 minutes. That's all I ask of you." I said in a pleading voice. Her face registered shock and the door opened a little. It was enough for me to slip through and I did, my head lowered. "I can't believe I just pleaded to be let in a house." I muttered to myself. She crossed her arms, "What do you want? Alex? Eric Doyle? Me?" I shook my head, "None of those. I....I want to apologize. I'm sorry, Claire. For Everything." Claire could have killed me with her glare. Luckily, I wasn't afraid of her. "Rachel, you can't make amends." I sat down on the couch and put my face into my hands, thinking to myself, *Man, this is so not going well.* I said to Claire, my voice muffled, "I'm really sorry, Claire. Every night, I have nightmares about hunting you and Alex. They keep getting worse and worse. Those dreams won't go away until I apologize. I've killed people, Claire. Fugitives. Friends. Agents. I just want to make amends." I looked up at her and thought, *Jeez, I must look pathetic right now.* Claire examined my face and smiled, "Fine. For what it's worth, I forgive you." Upon hearing those words, I felt like a heavy weight had lifted from my shoulders. I smiled back at her and stand up, "Thank you. If you ever need some help, just give me a call. Bye, Claire." I walked back to the airport and booked another flight back to Lyneboro.
