A/N: Dramatic ending...are you ready for this? Mwahahahahahaha...

But why? I didn't understand. Ash and I had been best mates. We worked together for everything. I let him be my best man. My child's godfather!

"John, darling, are you doing okay? I've never known you to get worried during flight," Helen looked generally concerned.

I stared back at her and my eyes were wide.

"I---I...don't...understand..."

"What's wrong, honey?"

My voice caught in my throat. I couldn't speak. I was choking. I glanced out the window. We were in the air. There was no turning back now.

What had Ash done? He'd had a chance down there to kill me, but he hadn't. He still looked so smug. He'd planned something.

"Why?" I asked.

Helen glanced at me curiously. She almost laughed. She thought I was joking.

"Why...what?" she asked.

"I don't...I don't know."

"John, please. You're not making any sense."

I was still in shock. I couldn't speak. I wanted my thoughts to be formed into words but I could get anything out.

"Ash..."

"Yes. What about Ash? We can come back to visit him."

"No! We can't. We can't visit anyone."

"Why not? John, calm down. This isn't funny!"

"No, it's not. It's Ash. He wants me dead! And he's going to have me killed!"

Helen gasped. "Are you delusional? Ash has been your best friend since you joined MI6."

"That's what I thought to. But why? Why would he hate me?"

I recalled everything that had happened between us for the past few months. I thought of a phone call I'd made to him to tell him that we were delaying the Caxero attack until the next day. I said he'd done good and he said something like, "Yeah, but you're better. Or at least MI6 thinks so." Like he didn't want me to hear him.

Aloud he'd said, "Thanks." Was he...jealous? Did he think people would notice him if I were gone? Did he think he was just "my partner?" and alone he would be someone? If that were the case, he probably was delusional!

On the other hand, it made sense. He'd been moving away from me since the Australian double agent case, which Ash wanted to go on but MI6 chose me instead.

"I've got it!" I explained what I'd reasoned to Helen. She still wasn't convinced.

"Please, you've got to believe me! He didn't kill me while I was there? That means he has other means to kill me! He looked so confident when I left. He knew how he was going to kill me! I don't believe this! This is absurd! I thought we were friends."

Everything was silence besides the engine, and a clinking sound every time the engine moved. There was something in the engine! But not just 'something!' The something, I had a feeling, was a bomb.

"Bomb..." I whispered.

"John?"

"Bomb!" I shouted. I was starting to worry. I am always level headed but I knew how able Ash was. I wasn't exactly in the best thinking position either considering my shock from learning the truth of my dream. The betrayal of my best friend.

I thought of anything I could do. I had gadgets with me but nothing would work because if I did manage to get to the bomb, I couldn't take it out or I'd have to stop the engine temporarily.

I would just have to wait.

"There's nothing we can do," I announced to Helen.

Helen began to cry. "What about Alex?" she asked me.

I ran my hand through her hair and brought her head to my chest.

"Ian will have him. I didn't let Ash have him. Don't worry. He'll be fine," I promised, trying to convince myself.

"How could he have been so jealous? How could he have held in this temper as long as he did? He was always so polite. He was like a brother to you!" Helen told me. She couldn't bring herself to say Ash's name.

"I wish I could have seen this coming. I knew something like this would happen!" I said to myself.

Helen asked me what I meant so I explained the dream. In a subconscious way I knew what his plan had been the whole time. I just never thought he'd execute this type of plan.

Ash had probably been working for Scorpia this whole time. He'd probably told them I was still alive and maybe that had been the reason for Julia having her unexpected visit.

I was enraged. I hated Ash. Not for earning my trust. Not for acting like he cared. Not even for betraying me.

I hated him because of how he was going to manage to kill my wife also. I hated him because he was going to make Alex an orphan. I felt bad for the kid. I didn't care about what would happen to me anymore. Perhaps I could find parachutes on this plane. Maybe we still had time.

"Helen, find a parachute!" I looked around. I could instruct her what to do if we could only find one parachute.

After two minutes, I gave up. Ash had inspected the plane thoroughly. There was no use for trying anymore.

I held Helen tightly. A faint beeping started. It got louder and louder.

I heard a loud bang. The whole plane lit up. I felt such a pain that my whole body was being torn apart. Then I died.

A/N: And just to anyone who doesn't personally know me, I have waited years to write that last sentence because its like "what thats the end?" Well duh then I died!!! Anyway, review. Please tell me you like it...don't come after me for killing him. I had to.
