A/N: Before I go on this story is inspired from Run Lola Run. A fantastic film. I'm not sure whether it'll be a happy ending or a dark, sad ending. R&R

As Leo headed for the store with a gun in his right hand out in the open for by standers to see. The public is shocked and one woman pulls out a cell phone and immediately starts calling for the local authorities. Leo doesn't notice he's too busy thinking about his next move.

Meanwhile, Piper places her gun back in her boot forgetting that she had it all this time in her hand, hopefully no one notice. Then Piper despite exhaustion and her throbbing feet runs after Leo. No physical pain could ever amount to the pain of losing Leo.

"Leo," she shouts desperately as her beloved enters the store. Still Leo doesn't notice: everything surrounding him is oblivious. Right now he's a man on a mission to execute what he's set out to do.

Piper keeps running. She feels as though any second now she'll collapse. Silently cursing herself of never taking running seriously in gym class. If she were physically fit then maybe she wouldn't have such a hard time. 'But no' Piper thought, she was skinny enough as it is. Suddenly Piper was grab from behind.

"Going anywhere," questioned a man wearing a business suit and appears to be in his late thirty's.

"Let go" Piper says trying not to draw attention to her and the mystery man.

"I'm afraid I can't do that." He tightens his grip on Piper.

"You see your lover owes me something of great value. Apparently he's not here so you're just going to have to pay for his actions." He whispers rather coldly in her ear. To strangers they look like a couple the older man telling her sweet romantic sentences of passion. To bad that is far from the truth.

"Here's your fuckin' money count it if you like it's all there. Just leave us alone." Piper shows the man the bag she's holding in her hand. Quickly the man grabs it from rather violently, followed by an unnecessary shove.

"Looks like you just saved your ass as well as that dim-witted beau of yours from a painful death." Piper being pissed off spits in bastards face. Before the man can pull out his switchblade Piper takes off in the direction were Leo had been moments ago.

"Sir just let the slut go come on we got the money."

"Fine I let her go... for now. Don't think I'll let the bitch get away with that."

****

"Leo" Piper calls out once she's entered the store. Piper notices people down on the floor with their hands behind their head.

"Piper!?" Leo turned around with the gun pointed to her but soon pointed it some where else when he saw her face.

"Leo come on, stop what you're doing and lets get the hell out of here!"

"Piper you know I can't with out the money," Leo pleaded.

"I got you covered I gave the money to your bosses out side."

"How did you come up with the ...never mind. What were you thinking they could have killed you," Leo said worried out of his mind.

"They almost did-"

"Did you use your gun-" Leo went up to Piper placing a hand on her cheek showing affection and true concern.

"I didn't get a chance to. The guy grabbed me from behind. Besides there were innocent people out there walking past us. I didn't want to take the chance I needed to get to you before it was too late."

"It is too late! Look at what I'm doing now Piper. How the hell I'm I going to get out of this," Leo moved his hand away from Piper whilst the other hand pointed the gun in the air. Accidentally Leo pulled the trigger letting a single bullet pass through the ceiling. Leo with out thinking grab Piper and move out of the way before debris could hit them. Luckily no one laid anywhere around there.

"Turn yourself in. I will too," Piper said as calmly as she could.

"I can't."

"Why-"

"COME OUT WITH YOUR HANDS UP"

"Shit Piper it the cops. I can't go," Leo was terrified sweat slowly coming down the side of his forehead. Piper was quick to give him a hug.

"It's ok Leo what are your bosses going to do? Hurt you...they can't."

"You don't understand Piper. My bosses have people working for them in jail who report back to them. More than likely they'll think I gave out important information to the feds," Leo stated looking straight in Pipers beautiful eyes.

"Jesus, Leo fine will do it your way just let these people go."

"All right, I always love you."

"Me too."

Leo took Pipers hand in his free one and said out loud " The rest of you -"

Before Leo could say the word: leave. The giant glass window in front of him shattered. The next thing Leo knew was he was on the floor. A sharpshooter hit him twice. Leo looks for Piper praying she hadn't been hit or trampled by all the bastards that ran out with out lending a hand.

"Piper"

Nothing

"Piper" Leo said barely audible.

"Leo" came her faint whisper. Leo turned himself to his side to look at his beautiful Piper lying there clutching her stomach.

"Leo you're hurt," To Piper's remark Leo gave her an ear to ear smile.

"Your always thinking about other people than yourself Piper," Leo placed two fingers on his lips then reaches up towards piper and placed his two fingers on her lips. Piper presses her lips to his fingers knowing the outcome of the two of them.

"We're going to die right?" Piper felt a mix of different emotions. Leo using all energy he had move slowly to Piper. Once there he took her hand that was covered in her blood and put it gently on the side of his face.

"Piper I'm sorry."

"Don't be I knew what I was getting myself into. I wouldn't change a thing." Leo had tears in his eyes, he was supposed to protect her now look what happen. Leo couldn't say all the things he wanted to tell her, how much she meant to him. All Leo could do with his last breath was give Piper a soft warm kiss good bye.

Piper retreated when she felt Leo lips turn cold. Piper knew she'll be soon following Leo. Before Piper left earth for the final time she made a wish. With one breath Piper wished 'that love would conquer all and to undo this wrong.'
