Part II: Betrayals, Rescues and Truths
" You have this plane ready to be in the air in two minutes or you won't live to see tomorrow." Vanessa barks still standing outside the plane, her back to the door.
" Yes ma'am, I'll fix it as fast as I can. It was working fine this morning, I don't know what's wrong." The man says as he continues working on the plane.
Vanessa continues to give more orders to the man, as Dylan looks around the empty hanger. His eyes drifting to the doorway, as Jack and Anna silently walk in . He gasps as Anna's eyes meet his. She gently puts a finger to her lips, signaling for him to be quiet. Dylan flashes them a small smile and a quick nod before looking back at Vanessa.
He tugs gently at the bottom of Vanessa's coat, " What do you want now?"
Dylan looks up at her, " I have to go potty."
Vanessa rolls her eyes, before saying angrily, " You just went."
" I have to go again." He whines loudly, his eyes still on Jack and Anna as they get closer.
" Marco, where is Ben?" Vanessa asks as Dylan continues to carry on, stomping his feet to make sure that he commands Vanessa's full attention.
Vanessa turns her attention back to Dylan, " You're almost more trouble then its worth." She says grabbing his arm, " Come on."
She turns around quickly, but stops dead in her tracks.
" Good afternoon, Vanessa." Anna says, her gun pointed directly at Vanessa.
" ANNA." Dylan yells as he starts to run toward her.
Vanessa grabs his arm tighter and pulls him back, " I don't think so."
" It's all over Vanessa let him go." Anna tells her tightening her grip on the gun.
Vanessa laughs smugly, " I'm afraid you outnumbered Chief. Marco."
The man says nothing, as Vanessa calls for him again.
" You looking for him?" Jack says as he and Marco come into sight.
Vanessa shakes her head in disgust as she sees Jack's gun pressed to Marco's back." It figures, you never could do anything right." Vanessa mumbles as Jack begins handcuffing him.
" It's all over Vanessa, let me take him home." Anna pleads with her.
" I don't think so." Vanessa fires back as she pulls Dylan closer to her before reaching into the pocket of her jacket.
Jack and Anna watch horrified as Vanessa pulls out a gun. " No closer." She says aiming the gun at the top of Dylan's head.
Dylan whimpers softly, his tear filled eyes meeting Anna's.
" Dylan…you keep your eyes on me, ok? You just be brave for a few more minutes and this will all be over. And then I'll take you home." Anna tells him as confidently as she can manage.
Dylan nods slowly, his eyes locked with hers. " Vanessa, it doesn't have to be like this…this can end peacefully."
" Peacefully?" Vanessa repeats sarcastically.
" You either leave here in handcuffs or a body bag, it's your choice." Anna tells her as Jack finishes handcuffing Marco.
" You think I'm afraid to go to jail or to die? Why not take Dylan with me? Losing Dylan will destroy David. David doesn't deserve anything, his whole life is a lie. If I'm going to go, I might as well take him down with me." She laughs tightening her arm around Dylan.
" Isn't the truth you want to reveal enough for you ?" Anna asks as Jack moves next to her pointing his gun at Vanessa.
" Ahh, so the clue I let Aidan find let you in on my little secret." Vanessa says her eyes locked with Anna's. " It's quite a bombshell don't you think? I can practically see the look on David's face when he learns that his beloved…"
" Shutup, what you know, dies with you." Anna fires back, her finger slowly pulling back on the trigger.
" Are you sure you can shoot me before I can shoot Dylan?" Vanessa taunts them, moving the gun closer to Dylan's head
Anna looks over at Jack and then back at Vanessa, and begins to relax her finger off the trigger.
" I thought you would see it my…" She stops as a gunshot rings through the silent hanger.
