AN - I would just like to thank everyone for the amazing reviews already. Massive thanks to RebaForever15 for convincing me to write this. Hope you enjoy this next chapter.
"I can't believe he burned down his family home for me. Why has he put his life at risk for me?" Were some of the jumbled thoughts running through M's mind as she sat waiting for Bond to come and tell her that her and her family would finally be safe from Silva.
Oh god, her children. They must be worried out of their minds. They surely would've been altered by MI6 about the situation and taken to safe houses in London. Her worried thoughts of her children were quickly pushed aside as the chapel door opened.
As she stood to greet Bond her heart sank.
Silva was standing in the doorway with a gun.
"So this is where you've been hiding from me? Were you expecting someone else? James perhaps?" Asked Silva as he slowly made his way towards M.
"Sorry. I couldn't find ..."
BANG
Kincaid jumped to a halt from SIlva's warning shot.
"You really should stop dragging other people into your messes M. They should at least know what sort of person they're putting their lives at risk for."
"Shouldn't you have told all those men that you sent after us what they were getting into then?" Snapped M. She was tired. Tired of all his stupid games. She'd be damned if she wasn't going to have some control over the end of her own life, as she didn't think James was going to get there in time.
"You!" Shouted Silva as he pounced in front of her. "I only sent them after you. Not to kill you of course. That would be my pleasure."
"Doing the dirty work yourself for once?"
"Yes if you must know. I have dreamed of this moment for years." Replied Silva as he brought the gun to her head.
Don't look at the gun, look at him. Don't look at the gun, look at him. Was the mantra running through her head. She could see the resolve in his eyes weakening. The look in his eyes was of fear not revenge. He couldn't pull the trigger. Something not even he could predict was stopping him.
"Argh!" Shouted Silva as he grabbed M's hand and thrust the gun into it.
"Since your so good at making life or death decisions, you can do it for me." Said Silva as he brought M into his arms and placed the gun beside her head.
"Kill us both." He whispered in her ear. "Do it. Put us both out of this misery before anyone else you love gets hurt."
"ARGH!"
BANG
The silence was deafening. All she could see was the twisted face of Silva as he stumbled away from her.
"Bond." She whispers like her prayers have been answered.
She knows the end is finally here when she sees Silva desperately trying to make his way towards James. "When did he become James?" She asks herself.
"Last rat standing." Says James as Silva finally gives up and collapses on the ground.
When their eyes meet, she can see in his eyes that their relationship has moved past employee/employer towards a more mother/son role and that she's actually okay with the change.
"Bon... Argh." Is all she manages to say before her legs give out.
"What's going on? Where is that pain coming from?" Is all see can think as a searing pain radiates through her side.
AN- Hope you enjoyed it. Will put the next chapter up tomorrow when i get back from work.
P.S. Judi Dench ROCKS. Best M ever in my book.
