Please give reviews thanks, I have more coming in the story I just want to know if I should continue. I will try to update daily if wanted. Sorry if out of character.

Chapter 1

"Alec please don't!" Dr. Foster begged. Her ex-husband had come to the company she co-owned: The Lightman Group; where they were experts in deception and micro expressions. Alec had brought a gun to her office where she had been discussing a case with FBI Special Agent Ben Reynolds and was now threatening to kill her.

"Why should I? You left me and wouldn't give me a second chance!" Alec yelled. He had cheated on her and had instead of going to her when something was wrong he had gone back to using cocaine during their marriage. "Why couldn't you forgive me? It was because I'm not as good as Cal Lightman, wasn't it? He did way worse things to me and yet you are still partners and best friends with him. I've always been your second pick! You loved him before and throughout our marriage; I saw the way you look at each other. I loved you anyway and was always there for you! Where is Cal now, huh?"

While Alec continued to rant he didn't see Cal Lightman sneak in through the back room. Cal had heard the yelling as soon as he entered the building and was surprised at the sight before him. He realized quickly that as long as he was quiet Alec was too focused on Gillian to notice him.

Cal stealthily snuck over to Reynolds and carefully slipped Ben's gun from his holster without even Ben himself noticing. He then proceeded to move into the shadowed corner of the wall behind Foster less than three feet from her, but everyone remained completely oblivious. He stood there watching Alec's face and for the first time since he entered the room he listened to what Alec was saying.

"…And if I can't have you Gillian; no one can, especially not Cal Lightman!" Alec raised his gun as Reynolds simultaneously grabbed for his gun; all he found was an empty holster. He looked up to see Cal pushing Gillian out of the way pointing his gun.

"Oi, you leave Gil alone!" Cal yelled and Alec's eyebrows went up in surprise momentarily. It was too late he had already fired once and just because it was Cal he didn't stop shooting; he fired three more rounds. Cal pulled the trigger once, but it was a kill shot getting Alec right between the eyes. As soon as Cal fired he dropped the gun and staggered back as each bullet ripped through his flesh; he got one in his stomach, one in his right lung, one on his right arm and one on his left leg. Gillian had quickly got up after Cal shoved her to the ground, so as his leg collapsed on him she swiftly caught him feeling the adrenaline coarse through her veins.

"Ben, call an ambulance!" Gillian ordered tying tourniquets on his leg and arm and then unsuccessfully trying to stench the bleeding on his stomach and chest, "Cal, it's going to be alright!" She urged him, "Hold on!"

Cal gasped for breath trying desperately to focus on Gillian instead of the mind numbing pain radiating through his entire body, "Terrible…liar…love," He struggled to speak, he was trying to distract Gillian; seeing the intense raw fear in her eyes.

Gillian forced a smile, but Cal saw right through it; concern was apparent in his eyes. He was on the verge of death and was concerned for her, "Cal, you're my best friend. Please don't leave me!"

"I'm…so…cold…and…so…so…sleepy," his eyelids began to droop.

"Cal, don't you've have to stay awake!" Gillian commanded and cradled his head in her lap rubbing his arms desperately trying to warm him.

"I…love…Emily…and…you…Gil," He gasped out before sinking into unconsciousness.

"No! Cal you can't, you can't leave me!" She sobbed; he couldn't die after what he just told her. Just then, the EMTs rushed in lead by Ben. He pulled her up and into a comforting embrace and let her cry.

"He's not gonna make it Ben; he seemed so untouchable, but now he's gonna die," She said shaking her head; her whole body shook with her sobs. Ben didn't know what to say, so he just stood there holding her.

After what seemed to be weeks of waiting with a crying Emily Lightman in the waiting room of the OR a surgeon came out. Gillian and Emily saw the pity in his eyes, but unlike like Gillian; Emily saw something else. Emily saw something strange about the pity, something was off. "Are you Cal Lightman's family?" He began and they nodded, "I'm sorry, he didn't make it."

Did it surprise you? It surprised me, came to me in a dream. Thanks for your reviews.
