Author's Note: I'm a terrible person, yes, I am completely aware of this. D: Now leave me be in my angstcorner.
Knock, knock, Missster Freeman.
My...apologies for intruding at this...hour. Not that...it should be a problem, considering your situation. Times are...difficult--but you know the parable, don't you...Freeman...? The...ssilence before the storm, the...dark before the dawn. It is...nearly time for, our last crusade...you...see. The hour glass is runninnnng...out.
Your...recruitment, as it were, was a choice well-made...you are a, valuable...asset. Unfortunately, our, ah, asssociates do not...agree...whole...heartedly. Ifff...only they could see it, OUR, ah...way...
Eheh...
Eheheh...heh...
Ahem...
The point I...wished to make here today, Missster Freeman-is that we grow...ever so close to our goal. However, as...ahah...fate has...so kindly scripted for us...one of us now sssstands in, the way, of the other. Of course, you...know the policies on obstacles, Mr. Freeman...simple, eradication...
You underst...and, of...course. In war, casualtiesss...are only...natural. But the ends do jussstify the means, per the...usssual, and not alllll will be...lossst. Affter all, existence is such a fickle...thing. What was a...century, the universe would hardly...notice. A single life would be of its...complete disregard.
But the future is...forever, provided the right, circumstances are obtained. Ifff...they are, and the future secured, then...sacrifices are duly noted.
But if not...eheh...perhapssss...even humanity has...not seen...true...horror...
Do not...fear, Freeman...you are, a force, to be...feared yourself.
...which is why, now...
You mussst...turn your gun on...me.
Hmm hmm...you ssseem, shocked, Mr. Freeman...
Never been asked to...turn on a friend, before? Not that...we have the luxury to be considered as, such...
You see...there are, sssome things that...must remain secret, in this world. If our mutual...enemies were to obtain such, facts, then...
And it is my...fear...that they are growing...closer to...ah...acquiring, such facts.
Facts, at leaaaast, that no human should know, either...and we both know that you are...truly...little more, than, that...
Some secretsssss...I suppose...do well to be...just...put down.
Now then, ssshall we...proceed? Just...one bullet, please. I have, never been very...fond of messes.
What are you waiting for, Mr. Freeman?
Time is running out...for...you.
But I...
Have all the time in...the world...
