Chapter 14- Why Don't You Just Drop Dead

"What about Katie?" Vaughn asked, angry.

"She has to die. What does it matter to any of you? She is no one."

"She's a child!" Vaughn exclaimed.

"None of you understand do you? Would you all prefer that I kill Sydney and let the girl live? Tell me honestly that you would rather see Sydney die, then the child?"

"Sloane—"

"Make your choice. Sydney or the child."

There was absolute silence after Sloane posed the question and commanded them to play God. Who were they to decide who lived and who died? There could be no winners; if they picked Katie, they would lose a sister, a daughter, a friend, a lover. If they picked Syd an innocent child would die at the hands of a madman. Either way, they would release the very evil onto the world that they had once tried to stop. The evil had deceived them all into believing he had changed, into letting him guide them, where is intentions had been to led them astray, to destroy them.

Vaughn was torn inside. He could not send Sydney to her death; he would die if he lost her again. But he also couldn't turn his back on Katie. He and Syd had fallen so in love with the little girl. They were going to adopt her. She was going to be theirs.

No one else had said anything, none of them brave enough to play God. Vaughn glanced at Jack who looked ready to bite Sloane's head off. A vein was throbbing in his neck, a vein Vaughn knew all to well, it had throbbed often when Jack yelled at him.

"Make your choice." He repeated again, taking pleasure in the internal struggles that were going on around him. He pulled the needle out of Sydney's arm, checking to make sure he had enough of her blood in the bag.

Sydney started assessing possible ways to escape, getting both her and Katie out of there alive along with the rest of the group. It looked hopeless. It was possible for her to grab Katie and run but they all wouldn't be able to escape by the time the guards gained control of their guns. In her minds eye, she saw them all falling in a hail of bullets. She knew the others would never make the choice on whose life to save, so Sydney decided to take matters in her own hands.

"If they do decide, do you swear that the other one will go unharmed?" Sydney asked.

"Yes. I swear on my daughter's life." Sloane answered.

"Don't swear on my life." Nadia glowered. "As far as I'm concern you and I are through. I am ashamed to even think that I might be related to you.

"Alright, then you may kill me if I do not let the other person go. Here, I'll even give Vaughn his gun back so he can shoot me if I break my word. But not a moment before." He warned as he handed the gun back to Vaughn.

"Then they choose me to die." Sydney replied. Sloane turned around to face her, relying on the guards to keep the intruders under control.

"You know Sydney, you always had one little fault and it was your nobility. You were given the chance to do absolutely amazing things, but you refused because they hurt other people. And here I am, offering the chance to live and run off into the sunset with your knight in shining armor, but you through it away to save a child who has no family in this world, no place in this world. I offer you eternal life, you give it up. Sydney it's getting too hard for me to protect you. I always saw myself as a father figure to you—

"I don't need a father figure, I have a father."

"Please don't interrupt. When you insist on doing terribly noble things like this I find it harder and harder to you protect each time. Indeed it's becoming an annoyance. Sydney you have so much potential still. Do you really want to through it away? You can get married, you can lead a long life, and you can make sure your father doesn't have to bury his only child again. I know your mother would be absolutely distraught if she found out you died. You see Sydney; I'm giving you one more chance for life. Do you want to take?"

Sydney didn't hesitate with her answer.

"Sloane have you seen the movie 'The Incredibles'? Obviously not. There is a part, in this child's movie mind you, when a hero talks about how a villain captured him and was about to destroy him, when the villain starts to monologue. And the hero is able to escape during his monologue. Do you know what lesson that teaches?"

"That good over comes evil and that villains are full of themselves? Really Sydney, I don't see the point of your little story. I take it you want you to die so little Katie can watch this movie when she's older and understand why Sydney died?"

"No it teaches you not to do a monologue when your back is turned on a bunch of CIA agents." Vaughn said from behind Sloane, pressing his gun none to gently into Sloane's ribs.
