Chapter Three
The sound of the wheels against gravel rung in Olivia's ears. Stepping out of the car she was greeted by a tall man dark in colour, wearing a suit.
" Agent Johnson, what's the rating on this one?" Olivia asked
" It's a 9.5 case." Johnson replied
" So it's a big one… ok lets go see this beast." Olivia trudged along the gravel with Peter following.
Twisting this way and that. The huge thing twirled with colours. Olivia stood across from it felt dizzy and it reminded her of the coffee that morning.
" Has anything come through it?" Peter asked
" Not yet but we think there is something beyond it." Johnson replied.
" Well as we don't know we need to close it as quickly as possible. Do you have the chemical compound?" Olivia asked in a confidant tone.
" We are making arrangements to evacuate the area before we do. That presses is almost complete. Therefore the chemical will be released in a matter of minutes." Said Johnson. Walking back to the car they heard gun shots.
Pulling his gun from his belt Peter knelt down by a barrel. He spotted a couple of people coming out of the portal and shooting Johnsons men. Aiming his gun he shot one of the portal people in the leg. Screaming he dropped his gun and fell to the floor. The man next to him turned round and shot at Peter. The bullet ricocheted off of the barrel as Peter ducked down.
His heart was pounding. The bullets were coming fast now ricocheting this way and that hitting things. Peter peeped over the top of the barrel and felt a bullet whiz past his face. Quickly he ducked. Breathing fast he popped out and shot. Ducking behind again. He heard a yell. He looked over the barrel. He had hit the man that was shooting at him. Right in the stomach. The man was doubled over in pain covered in blood.
" PETER!" Olivia yelled " PETER PETER!" she shrieked. " Peter, where are you?" She cried. Her eyes were brimming with tears about to spill over when she spotted him hunched over another man. She sprinted towards him. " Peter!" she yelled again.
" Hey, Its Johnson… he's dead…" Peter said when she was crouched by him.
" Who were they?" She asked
" I don't know but they may have something to do with over there…" Peter replied.
" I don't know I'm just glad your ok." Olivia breathed. She launched herself into his arms. She wrapped her arms around him and gave him a kiss.
" I love you." Olivia said " You know I do…"
" I know you do, and I love you too Olivia I always will." Peter replied.
Crunching back through the gravel towards the car. Something didn't feel right. The sky was being taken over by big unfriendly looking black clouds.
" There's going to be a storm." Olivia said spinning round on her heal to face Peter who was behind her.
" Yeah, we should get home quick then we can snuggle up and watch a movie." Peter said smiling. Olivia smiled back at the thought of them snuggled together watching a nice movie safe and away from harms way.
As the black clouds rolled over the blue sky the feeling of the storm came with it. There was that feeling in the air like you could feel the electricity building up about to unleash all its power onto someone or something unexpectedly.
There was a gun shot. No one knew where it had come from. It was like the air had sent it out of nowhere. Everyone looked around for the shooter. All except Peter. Peter was stood still. Upright and completely still. Olivia turned round and looked at him. He was holding his chest. There was blood seeping out of his shaking hands that covered his heart. Blinking quickly and shaking like mad he collapsed. Olivia ran over to him. Everything was going in slow motion to her. She took his hands away from his chest to see a bullet hole right in the middle. Tears started to boil in her eyes. They were about to spill over the edge.
Covering the hole with her now shaking hands she tried to apply pressure to the wound. Peter's eyes were blank but they were also filled with tears. He looked at Olivia with his olive green eyes and whispered three words. " I love you." as he slipped away Olivia found warm blobs running down her face.
Olivia shaking cradled his lifeless body. Tears streaming down her face now. Just as the storm broke. Thunder booming lightning flashing in the sky. The sky's opened and it began to rain. Thick heavy balls of rain.
" I love you too." Olivia cried. Rocking backwards and forwards on her knees with his dead body in her arms. His crimson blood staining her white shirt. Her hands were covered but she didn't care. She had lost Peter. He was her life. What was she going to do now? Was there a point even going on living? As the rain pored and Olivia cried for her loss. The thunder clapped and the lightning cracked the rest of the team let her grieve, alone, in pain forever…
