Chapter 13: The Confession
AN: Well, here it is. The cliffhanger ends. Or does it...?
The blast missed Montgomery by the narrowest of margins as Joanna knocked him over onto the ground to protect him. All hell broke loose as the Skedar scrambled to protect their chancellor. Nathan caught Ramirez as he tried to escape. Trent had taken out his DY357-LX and yelled at the men. "Arrest them!" He said. "Arrest yourself!" Nathan yelled back, holding Ramirez. "We've got a full confession." Joanna said. Wesion regained his aim on Joanna's head and was about to pull the trigger.
The door behind him blasted open and Wesion turned. Elvis stepped into view and fired a single shot from a Farsight. The orb hit the Skedar in the neck and it fell through the window to land in a puddle of blood at the bottom. Colonel Azerim rushed up to the wounded one. He was skilled in Skedar medicine and was possibly able to help. It was too late. The orb had hit the Skedar in the air pipe and killed him. But there was something odd... "This isn't Skedar blood." He touched the red liquid around the fallen beast. He took part of the head and pulled it up, revealing a latex interior and a human face. "It's Colonel West!" One of the men yelled. Crinn pushed her way through the Skedar bodyguards. "What's happened?" She demanded. "What's the meaning of all of this?" "It's about the future, Madam chancellor." Joanna said. "Some people think the future means the end of history. I think we haven't quite run out of history yet. Your father called the future the undiscovered country. Some people can be very frightened of change." A small smile crept over Crinn's face. "You've restored my father's faith." She said. "Thank you." And at that, all the members inside the hall erupted into applause As Joanna, Nathan Crinn and even Elvis came up to the podium. Even at the other end, Lindsay Williamson did as well. But then, she saw someone she knew. Nathan Winchester and it brought up her own dark past, this sighting. She couldn't do it now. She couldn't. Not with him here. She took out her communicator and stepped on it. She knew it was right.
"Sir," Connor's lieutenant said. "The conference has stopped. Easton, West and Ramirez have been arrested and we've lost Williamson's signal." "Activate our insurance policy." Connor replied. "Move us into visual range. Let's 'blow' this joint."
End of Chapter. Ok, I lied. Another cliffhanger, but one of the last. I promise!!! Please review. I'm kinda proud of myself. Two chapters in one day. A little short, but still, chapters are chapters.
