So I've recently started watching Falling Skies and I'm hooked! I can't believe there hasn't been a Tope yet. Please review :)
"We should have put a damn bullet in his head"
I didn't want to say that and when I made a move to go into the med bus and do it myself I was secretly glad that I had been stopped. It wasn't what I really wanted; I didn't want to see Tom Mason dead. I knew Tom had thought of it though to protect Second Mass and to protect his boys, but that was why he wouldn't do it; for his boys. To see them after three months only to blow his brains out would be too cruel.
I wandered off to check with the scouts as Weaver ordered. I had briefly glimpsed Tom; self preservation had warred with…lust or affection, the man had escaped from an alien ship and his only serious wound had been inflicted by his son. Self preservation had won out but I didn't know for how much longer. Tom hadn't seen me when he had been shaking people's hands and kissing babies like he was goddamned running for mayor and that was probably for the best.
Who was I kidding? It was best for me that he hadn't looked at me because I don't know what I would have done, maybe I would have turned and walked off or maybe I'd have kissed him, in front of all those people, in front of his boys.
