Mack was going to be discharged this afternoon, she was waiting for Nate to come pick her up. No one had heard from Eliot, she wasn't sure if that was a good or bad sign. Sophie, Parker, and Haridson had all come and seen her. She had gone out to the garden for some fresh air, the nightmare finally was over, Tobias was going to prison. She could live her live without looking over her shoulder.
"I'm looking for Mackenzie Ford...she isn't in her room...where is she?"
Mack looked up ans standing at the nurses station was Eliot looking all sorts of stressed out. She just stood there for a moment waiting for him to notice her. He turned and looked at her, he covered the distance in three giant steps and picked her up in his arms.
"Don't ever do that to me again baby...I love you!"
"I love you too Eliot!" He sat her down and pulled her close and kissed her. Mack heard someone laughing, it was coming from a dark corner, she turned her head but couldn't see who it was.
"How sweet." Tobias stepped out of the shadows pointing a gun at the couple. Eliot turned toward him, pushing Mack behind him.
"What do you want Jones?"
He laughed looking at Eliot he pointed the gun at his chest and pulled the trigger. Eliot crumpled to the ground, Mackenzie screamed his name. Blood was staining his shirt, she cradled his head. She pressed her hands to his wound, screaming for a nurse or a doctor to come help. Eliot reached up and stoked her face. "I love you!" He closed his eyes. "Eliot..."
Tobias grabbed Mackenzie and dragged her away, she was kicking and screaming Eliot's name.
