Really So Different?
Donald Lydecker was not known for being easily surprised or ruffled, but it was with an expression of pure shock that he regarded the man holding a gun on him.
"What are you doing? We had a deal, John. I help you take down Manticore and we all go our separate ways. No one gets hurt."
"Did you really think I could just let you walk away, after what you've done?"
Lydecker glanced towards the army jeeps 200 yards away, whose occupants were getting ready to put as much distance between them and the burning ruins of the Manticore complex as possible. Max, Syl, Zack, and Krit had already boarded one, while X5-494 and the two Winchester boys were getting into another. Obviously, none of them could see what was going on with the two men who had lagged behind "to make sure they weren't any more survivors".
"If you kill me, how are you going to explain it to them? Max has really gotten into the do-gooder routine, and your boys seem like nice, honorable young men."
"Simple. You tried to double-cross us by taking a disc with which to start your own transgenic program, and in our scuffle I had to shoot you in self-defense."
They glared at each other for a moment, before John Winchester spoke again, with cold fury in his voice.
"You kept my sons from me. Ben and Alec. You tortured them, brainwashed them, made them kill for you. You sick bastard."
"Is that really so different-"
BANG
Donald Lydecker was shot dead in midsentence.
John knew what he was going to say, and he didn't want to hear it.
