A normal phone call... That's all it seemed to be at first, when Megan answered the phone. She didn't expect it... well, there was no way she could have known what was going to happen. She sat in her office, thinking about the last case... thinking about the last words of the man they'd caught.
"I'll find the one you love most, Agent Reeves. And I'll kill that person." The words hollowed through her mind.
So when Megan answered the phone and heard the same voice -the voice of this man- her heart stopped. It couldn't be. He was in jail... There was no way that he could have broken out.
"I've found him."
That was all he said, but those three words were enough to take Megan's breath away. 'No, no, no!', she thought and shook her head. She felt the worried eyes of her partners looking at her, but she didn't react.
"He seems to be a nice man. But I didn't expect you to love someone like him. I thought more of a... an agent or something like that."
Anger and panic gripped Megan's heart on that line. She knew who the criminal was talking about... she knew it since the first second of their talk, but now it was totally clear.
"Anyway... Any last words you want to tell him?"
Last words? There were too many words, but none of them could describe what she felt... Which words could be the right ones?
'I'm sorry'? Maybe... she was sorry, she really was. But that shouldn't be the words the man she loved the most should hear.
'I love you'? It would definitely describe her feelings, but it was not enough to tell him. In the end it wouldn't be enough... it wouldn't help him. Furthermore... he knew it. He knew that she loved him. There was just one thing... one thing she could say to him. She gulped and tears filled her eyes when she said them.
"Our star will never fade."
It described not just their love... but their relationship and their future. Their love, their star, would never fade... it would last an eternity.
A shot fell.
