Noah walked towards the door, knowing what he had to do, but he had a way out of it. The Bennets would live, Nathan would live, and Bob would, if all went according to plan.
He pulled out his phone after closing the door, and put a call straight to Nathan.
"Nathan, it's me, Noah," he said calmly, "I need you to listen closely and make sure no one else is around."
"Noah! I thought Claire said you were dead?" exclaimed Nathan in shock.
"I was, but they used Claire's blood to heal me," said Noah, "Now, Nathan, are you alone?"
"Yes, but I'm kind of busy getting ready for a press conference," replied Nathan.
"I already know. Now listen carefully, I'm back with the Company for now, and they want me to kill you. I'm going to, but then we'll use Claire's blood to bring you back," said Noah, without the slightest sound of regret at what he had to do.
"There's no need for Claire's blood in this case. I have some of Adam Monroe's inside me. I think I can still heal. But anyway, won't the Company know about me being alive? How will we stop that?" asked Nathan, very confused at this detail.
"Don't worry about any of that. That's for me to deal with after I kill you," said Bennet, this time with a bit of remorse that Nathan could not help. But he had to this alone.
"Are you sure you're ready Nathan?" asked Peter, "Are you sure the world is ready to know?"
"Yes Peter, and if anything goes wrong today, remember I love you. And I love Heidi and the kids, and Claire. So remember to give them my love in the event of an accident. You know how these things go," said Nathan, knowing what the future held for him.
"Nathan, they're ready for you," came Matt's voice from somewhere off in the distance. Now that the future was so close, Nathan wasn't sure he wanted to do it. Once at the podium, he was staring into the crowd. He could see Noah in the very back, near the door pretending to be an armed guard.
