Author's Note - What if Jack really had killed Nina at the construction site? Spoilers for Day One
They had arrived at the construction site and parked up. Terrified, Nina's fingers were ghostly white as they clung to the steering wheel. Gaines had given Jack a choice, one which would break his heart no matter what - kill Nina, or lose his family. Ordering Nina out of the car, he had to force her out. At that moment in time, he just wanted to find the son of a bitch who was making him do this and make him regret every minute he had been alive.
"I'm sorry Nina, they have my family", Jack pleaded. Nina was shocked and angry, and she was trying hard not to cry.
"You're going to kill me right here?", she yelled at him.
"I have no choice", Jack replied, trying to turn Nina around so that he didn't have to look at her face as he shot her, wanting to remember her as she was before this whole crisis. Ira was beginning to get angry, and he commanded Jack to get on with it.
"Enough! Just do it Jack!', he warned, before adding,'Kimberley's dead if you don't do it".
"Please forgive me Nina", Jack begged her. This was one of the hardest choices he had ever made in his life, if it could be called a choice. Either way, someone he loved would be dead because of him.
"Shoot her Jack! Now!", Ira's annoyed voice in his ear again. Jack promised himself that Ira would pay for this.
Jack held her as they stood at the top of the hill. As each bullet was fired, he hoped that the flak jacket she was wearing would protect her from each and every single shot. He fired four times, to make it look good and pushed her down the hill and, when her body had stopped moving, he looked at her sadly, before climbing back into the car. Driving off, he saw the two men who had followed them pointing a video camera at Nina, so that their boss could see that Nina was indeed dead. He considered them to be no better than a pair of vultures.
As the two cars drove off, Nina was dying. The flak jacket had stopped three of the four bullets, but the fourth had hit her in the chest, and as she bled to death, she thought of Jack, of his family, and forgave him. Her eyes closing for the last time, she let out a small sigh, and died alone in the shade.
