Title: Permanent Vacation
Pairing: None
Prompt: Author's choice (Eliot) – your characters make a simple mistake that tumbles out of control.
-O-
It was supposed to be a vacation. A vacation from them, from constantly aching bones, from frequent near brushes with death. A week in Cali, under a fake name, fake profession, fake everything. Except his phone number. He always used his real cell phone number, and that was his mistake.
He was standing next to a fountain when they found him. He had enemies in the world, that he knew. But each year that had passed without incident, he had grown cockier. More foolish, more brazen. He had settled down in one place for too long without moving on.
And so his cockiness was to blame for the bullet that sliced through him as he stood by the water fountain that afternoon in Cali. It was to blame when he fell with a splash into the freezing water, when he was instantly surrounded by a sea of red as his life's blood poured out of him. The sniper that had delivered death to him with one shot, only finding him because of his one, simple mistake.
