Chapter #12
"What now?" Joe asked the sullen Scotsman sitting at across from him for the second time. There was a long pause, as Duncan ran through the possibilities.
" I have to leave the man alive. He has a child, as I do, and I can sympathize with having my life threatened on a daily basis." Duncan said, a note of finality coming into his voice.
"Remarkable, you are absolutely remarkable. Your sense of honour knows no bounds does it MacLeod? After all this man has put you through. using his own daughter for his own ends, almost killing your child, and instead of vowing vengeance, or taking his head, as the game demands, you, you leave him alive?! How?" Joe responded incredulously.
"I don't do it for his sake, as far as I'm concerned, he doesn't deserve to even live for what he did, but I do it for Katie's sake, because she deserves to have at least one parent, alive, and if that means, I have to ignore the game, just this once I will." Duncan responded.
"How are you going to tell Anne?" Joe asked the all-important question.
" I guess you were too involved with your discussion to hear me come in", came a female voice from behind them. The two men turned to look.
"Yes, how and what were you going to tell me, Anne continued.
"A-Anne honey, I was going to tell you the entire story." Duncan responded turning his head to look.
"Okay, now you've completely lost me MacLeod." Anne said
"Do you remember when Mary was in the hospital we realized that she had been poisoned by eating that cookie that Katie gave her?" Duncan asked by way of introduction.
"Yes," was the simple answer.
" Here's the rest of the story: A couple of days after that Joe realized my chronicle went missing, so I took a look around for it. I searched everywhere, and even asked Katie about it. She had it, so when I took her home one night, I asked her to get it for me. So I went with her into the house, and waited while she went to retrieve it. While I was waiting, I could sense another immortal, and looked up. At the landing was a man- Katie's father was looking down at me." Duncan told her.
"So you're saying he's immortal." Anne stated.
"Yes." Mac answered.
"Are you going to leave him alive?" Anne asked.
"Yes, Anne I am. He may be slime, and a user, but he is a father, and Katie deserves to have one parent living." Duncan explained.
"SO YOU'RE TELLING ME, THAT YOU ARE GOING TO LEAVE THE MAN THAT TRIED TO KILL MY BABY ALIVE?! ARE YOU CRAZY? WHAT'S TO STOP HIM FROM TRYING AGAIN?" Anne shouted at Duncan.
"Yes, and to the question of him trying again. Hopefully, gratitude that there is one less immortal out there that wants his head," came the weak response.
"GRATITUDE! WILL YOU STOP BEING SUCH A BOY SCOUT AND GROW UP MACLEOD, GRATITUDE DOES NOT STOP PEOPLE FROM KILLING EACH OTHER, IN THE MORTAL OR IMMORTAL WORLDS." Anne yelled back, as she slapped him, and then walked out.
"PLEASE UNDERSTAND IT FROM MY POINT OF VIEW ANNE. PLEASE." Duncan shouted after her desperately.
"I suppose you'll be wanting something stronger than coffee?" Joe asked.
"Yeah, thanks Joe." Mac responded.
And so another chapter ends.
Review for two reasons: 1. I'm not entirely sure, that made sense in the context of my story; so let me know if it's even the slightest bit off. 2. I'm holding the next chapter hostage, until I get at least one review.
So: cheers, and happy holidays. -Angel's babe
