Summary: Kimberley has a dream job, but there is only one downfall. The man she happens to be secretly in love with is also the man she is in charge of protecting. What is a young tough girl supposed to do?
A/N: To everyone that will review after I have already written this chapter and posted it, I do so much thank you, and you will see as such in the thank you chapter when I write it. This is not the end yet though, this is just that darn climax us as writers know to expect.
"Do not come any closer then you already are gentleman. I am armed and I will not hesitate to finish the jobs my idiot colleagues could not."
Kimberley looked from her brother Travis, with a face of steel and full of anger and resentment, to the love of her life Matt, who looked like he had just received the shock of his life. It was obvious that no one, including her had put this together until it was too late.
"Uncle Jim, no one is going to do anything to you alright? We just want you to let Kimberley go, and we can all forget this ever happened."
Jim thought about it for a moment, wondering what the best end result to this whole thing would be, and knew for sure that it wasn't letting his niece go, not with her police background and that of her brother, him being one and all. The safest thing for him to do would be to eliminate them all so that there was no one left to tell the story.
"Do you think I am stupid boy? Not only is that the stupidest thing I would ever do, its also signing my own death certificate. If I let you guys go, the first place you would all be would be turning me in. No, I think the only answer to all of this is to eliminate all of you. Starting with the two of you." he stated, pointing at Matt and Kimberley.
She knew she didn't have much time, and she knew that now that she had gotten her hands free of the binding, she should really finish this whole thing off, but she still didn't know why he had done it. What had made her uncle, who had been such a rock for her and her brother as children turn to a life of murder and mayhem?
"Wait a minute!" she screamed, knowing what she had to do and what she wanted to do at that moment. If she had to die, she wanted to take the reason to her grave with her. There had too be another way though, one she hoped to come too before he finished telling her why he did it.
All heads turned towards her voice as she sat in the chair, not wanting to move for fear of giving herself away. She threw a look to Travis that she hoped he would know, with all his years on his local force. As soon as she did she got confirmation and proceeded with her idea.
"If you are going to kill us all anyway, why not tell us why you did it Uncle Jim? I mean it had to start with me right? Or did it start from something else and I poked my nose too far into it? What in this world could make a man like you turn so damn evil?"
She watched as he seemed to debate answering her. He obviously had thought this little idea out way too far and even now thought that she was up to something more then she was.
"It didn't start with you Princess. You just love a mystery and you had to make sure you stepped into the limelight. You've been that way since you were a kid, but I thought as an adult you would know better then to mess with fate."
"Then what made you do this Jim?" Travis thought to ask, not wanting him to think that they were planning something on him. If they wanted to get all the answers before breaking free, then they had better do it now, in case Jim didn't make it.
"I had a plan to stay home with your Aunt and just retire from the office business politics. Don't get me wrong, I would do the commentary with Jerry but I didn't plan on signing anymore wrestlers. My last signing was Jeff Hardy. I was hell bent and determined to get him back with the WWE family."
"But Uncle Jim you succeeded in that along time ago. Why not just do it and get the hell out?"
"It wasn't a part of Vince's plan. Then as I was getting ready to put the WWE office in my back pocket and go home, I got wind of Jeff Hardy planning to jump to the NWA."
Kimberley realized where the whole mess started. It hadn't been her, she had been in the wrong place at the wrong time, it had been with his last office ruling. It had been with Jeff.
"If Jeff was the problem, then why did so many other people other then him end up dead?"
"If you remember, I tried with him numerous times. Kimberley, it was never about you, until you became nosy. I had only thought about taking Jeff out."
Matt listened and felt himself steaming at what Jim was now saying. It hadn't been about Matt at all or his love for Kimberley. It had always been about Jeff and the whole leaving for NWA and stopping that from happening. As much as he sided with Jim on that idea, he wouldn't have used killing as a method. That alone made him want to kill Jim right there and then.
Travis knew what was coming and immediately put his hand across Matt, not allowing him access to get to Jim.
"But then why did Amy and Trish, Jason, Randy and Ric have to die?"
"Well as I am sure you all know, Chris and Jason were supposed to be my team through all of it. They were to take out Jeff and then we would all move on. They would get higher in the WWE and I would be able to retire a free man. What happened was they turned on each other in that hotel room and Jeff walked away with nothing but a scrape. I thought if I got to Amy, knowing how much the Hardy brothers thought of her, it would get to Jeff and drive him mad."
"Then one ended up dead and you tried again."
"Yes. Matt, I realize you must want to kill me, and something in Travis isn't letting you. Maybe he knows there is a bomb detonated to go off, or he is just worried about the gun I have on your girlfriend. You must understand, I did this for the betterment of the WWE."
"Trish died in my place didn't she?" Kimberley asked, mentally going over the events of the last few weeks and months in her head. She had thought it then, but hadn't been sure of anything.
"Yes she did. Kimberley, I love how interested you are in the world of criminals but I never thought you would try to solve them. I always thought you would do them. You turned out to be even better of a person then me. But being a good person isn't getting you anywhere anymore. Just an early grave."
The gun went off that second, in an explosion of fire. Matt saw the bullet before Kimberley could even fathom what was about to happen and he made a jump to try and get to her and shield her. As he hit the ground, he saw the blood.
Jim had shot his own niece. It was now time for him to pay.
