Night
Somewhere on top of a building
He was standing there, on top of the building, and was looking at the photo in his hand. On the picture was a man, a little child and woman.
He was staring intensly at the photo, but he couldn't concentrate on it. The only thing he could think of was the colour red.
No it wasn't just the colour red, it was bright red hair and in the middle of this mess of red hair was a face. It was not just a face in his opinion, it was the beautiful face of a woman , who he even not longer knew than a day.
He wanted to think of her as a pain in the ass, but he couldn't. In fact he was really happy as she called him 'Baby' or 'my hero', because the last time he was called this was a long time ago. A time ago were he was happy, were he was not shooting for money but for his country, were he was not steady on the run or in jail...
He wanted to be happy again when he came home after his fight. But he couldn't, because the fight has become a part of him and his wife broke his heart because of this part. And the only one who could probably understand, how much he wanted to be loved was this redheaded cupid. A smile crawled up to his face.
He looked up from his family photo and searched for the cupid on the ground. He found her far away from the building, in safety, He knew that she was also looking at him right now. A smile appeared on his face as he know, that she, the rest of the team and the hostages were in safety.
He saw how trains flowed down her face, he didn't know why but it hurts him to see her like this.
He closed his eyes and waited for the explosion
Than he felt the impact of the explosion, he felt how he landed on the ground, how the rubble and the concrete landed on him, he heard a woman screamed 'Nooooooooo!'
His Vision became blurry, he closed his eyes and breathed out.

Night
Somewhere in front of a building
She saw him standing there, on top of the building in front of her. She saw how he was staring on something in his hands. Now he was smiling, it was the first she saw him with a smile on his face, in fact it was the first she saw something different than his usual grim face. She wanted him to be down here, right here beside her so that they could smile together. She didn't want him to die, she wanted him here by her side forever.
His face shoot straight up he looked around. It looked like he was searching for something special. Finally his eye rested on her, she looked him straight in the one eye
'what a beautiful eye' was the first think that came in her mind.
They kept staring at each other for another moment
