The Death of a Master

I watched as the building went into smoke. I felt my face hit the floor. It seemed like forever but I finally got up and looked at Adler.

He got up and tried to go into the building but I pushed him away.

"It's gone!" I screamed at Adler.

He grabbed a gun off of one of hi G-Men and pointed it at me.

"You did this!" he said harshly.

"No." I said hushed. I shook my head. It reminded me of when the plane blew up.

"I take from you now you take from me?" Adler yelled in my face the gun pointed at me.

"I would never burn those." I pleaded. I looked at him. The man who killed was now going to kill me.

"I love you, Kate. If I meet you in heaven, I will love you still" I thought

"You wont get away with this." He looked at me and I looked down a little. "Good buy, Neal." The gun went off.

I looked to see Adler fall and Peter standing behind. The gun still raised from his shot.

"He would have killed me." I said, a little relived.

"What did he mean 'You wont get away with this'?" Peter asked me.

"I don't know." I said.

I saw Jones and Diana walk over to where Peter and I stood.

"You ok, Neal? Jones asked me.

"Yeah." I said, a little out of breath.

"Come' on, Neal." Diana said to me. "We'll get you back"

I nodded and waked with them.

I turned back to see the body of Adler on the ground, the blood was still flowing from his head.

I got to the car and I saw Peter walk over to me. He stopped and gave me the finger point. He was angry.

"You did it. The fire. all of it. You did it." He said angrily.

"Those were master pieces. I would never burn those. You know that.

"No, but you'd steel them." Peter growled at me.

"You dint know what you are talking about." I said now angry.

How could he be so stupid? I had just found all hope lost about how Kate is really dead and now Peter is yelling at me about painting that I didn't steel.

"That long con on Adler paid off, didn't it?" You saw you chance and then you took it. I don't know how. I don't know what game you are playing…"

I cut him off "I haven't lied to you, Peter. I'm not lying to you now. I dint steel the art."

"I think you did." He said in a hushed anger.

"Then prove it." I said and walked away. "Prove it!"

I walked away from the smoke and away from Peter.

The tears came down my face. I walked home crying. When I got there was a key on the table and I picked it up. There was a note attached to it. It had an address on it.

It was a where house.

The wear house was close to my apartment. I could walk there and not take a cab.

I put the key in the lock and turned and went into a green-lit room. And then there was another door with another lock and I unlocked it.

I went into the where house and looked to see a bunch of boxes stacked on each other. I went through the small opening in the boxes.

I looked to see everything from the U-Boat. I stood there and marveled at it. I turned and this way and that in the surroundings of the boxes. I walked over and touched the beads of pearl and all the art. It was all mine. I then wondered who had moved everything. Who gave me the key?

I looked to see a picture in a silver frame. It was a picture of Kate and i. I walked over to the picture. I was about to pick it up but I never did, because behind me I herd footsteps. I turned to see…

Kate!

I walked over to her and I took her in my arms and kissed her!

"I love you so much!" I said softly.

"I love you, too."

We kissed in the middle of the surrounding boxes and we stayed like that for a long time.

The End

I hope you liked the story. I really don't want Kate to die. Hope you enjoyed it. R&R!
