AN:// Reviews, were wonderful... Couldn't help myself throwing another curve ball. Hope you all get a kick out of this chapter. (: Thank you

(Well, this was supposed to be posted sooner however I needed to get a new charger for this lovely piece of shit, which is considered a laptop. I apologize for the wait.)

"Kate?" I didn't know if she really had the intent to kill me, but if she did I needed to at least know why. "Kate, what's going on?" I don't know if she could see into my head or not or even if she could read every last thought and feeling scrambling through my head. I did know however that it was written well across my face.

"Neal, why couldn't you give Peter what I asked for? Why couldn't you just give it to him, you fucking idiot?!" The gun was still arrowed directly at my chest, fingers engaged to strike and release the bullet if she chose.

"What are you talking about-"

"Shut up! You know exactly what I'm talking about you sly dog, the money! Everything you stole and hid. Where is it!?"

I should have known all along this was about the money. Kate never loved me; she loved what she thought I had.

"Kate, just answer me a few questions and I swear I'll tell you." I looked up with my confused and hurt orbs. It didn't really matter if she shot me now; I had also fallen for what I thought I had. "If not, do it Kate. Shoot me. I gave up my freedom for you. I gave up everything, so you could walk. I took the blame Kate, because I loved you."

I watched as Kate analyzed me for a moment. "Three questions and you better tell me or Mozzie's going to get a bullet through his head when he gets back." She leaned against the door, the gun never leaving my direction.

I needed my questions answered before Mozzie returned. "Why did you lie to me, pretend that you loved me?"

I watched her eyes flash as if something I sad drew bile in her throat.

"I didn't lie to you; and I didn't pretend to love you either. You promised me wealth Neal. You promised me that we could have everything, that we could run free. Four years ago, four Neal! You've wasted my time. That's not who I fell in love with."

"And you're not who I fell in love with either, you fell in love with a dream and greed."

"Is that your second question?" She cocked the gun sideways. "Because if it is, you're not going to get the third."

"No, did Peter know of your plan? Whatever your plan was?" I was hoping that she wouldn't realize that the question was actually two questions.

She drew in a breath chewing on the corner of her mouth for a moment before finally working up an answering. "Peter didn't know exactly. He thought I was trying to help you stay out of jail. I came up with the idea of pretending like I had been captured. He just went along with it, promising you that he would find me. He knew exactly where I was this whole time, Neal." She smirked. "I guess you're not the only lire here, not the one who can't keep a promise."

"I already knew that." I mumbled remembering the day that Peter broke that promise. I was about to ask my final question when there was a sudden knock on the door.

Kate looked at me narrowing her eyes. "Don't say a word." She whispered.

The air was silent for a moment. And I could hear my heart beating restlessly through my chest. Please don't be-

"Neal? Neal… it's Mozz. Open up." A smirk played across Kate's full lips.

"Tell him to come in, or I open the door and shoot him." I watched as she slowly unlocked the door, nodding in my direction, giving me the cue.

I opened my mouth to tell him to come in… but I couldn't do it. Kate was smart, smarter than me at the moment. If I told Mozzie to come in. She would kill him.

She ignored me, and opened the door slightly staying directly behind it. I heard Mozz sigh before the oak door slid open.

"I'm sorry Neal." My heart skipped a beat. This couldn't be happening. Mozzie stood on the other side of the door, reveling Peter behind him.

I opened my mouth, wanting to scream a thousand different things but instead all I could do is stay stunned in place. Kate was already pointing a gun at Peter, who was completely unaware of her presence.

Peter bumped past Mozzie who had slowly started to approach me. "No! Peter, Peter-Run!"

It was too late, Kate slammed the door behind them locking them in place with the same solid gun. "Peter, Mozz… wonderful. So very glad you could join us. Neal here is playing a game with me. He's on his last question before I win the prize. Take a seat on the bed."

Peter's head shot to the side realizing I wasn't alone, that now we all were in danger.

And he had just walked head first into it.

Kate was a bigger threat then either of us had originally known.

I don't know how it happened really; It was like watching snow fall. One slow, slow bit at a time.

One moment Kate was pointing the gun at me, the next at Peter who had also drew out his own weapon. It was a slow draw; I don't know how it got to this point. There was no doubt in my mind, that both had the intent to kill one another. This is how come I don't know how I jumped in-between both mechanical guns, I don't know how I stood between two of the most things I ever cared about..

But there I was.

I watched them both scream incoherent things to me; Peter's mouth was moving hastily. My back towards what I had given up, Kate.

I don't think they even realzied that I was the only thing standing between them. It was too late anyway. The shot and already been wasted.

She had put a bullet through me, piercing out my chest.

I don't know if I screamed, I don't know if I had the chance.

I just knew, I would die trying for Peter. Because without Kate, he and Mozz were all I had left.

All I had left to die for.

Kate. You just answered my last question.
