Dreams that Haunt: Revelations
"Michael." Lauren said still standing by the door. "What are you doing?"
Vaughn tried to calm himself down but it was no use. Seeing her, seeing the woman who had deceived him and planned to kill his friends was more than he could bear. "What the hell are you doing with these files?" he yelled at her as he threw the files at her. "Do you really think you can get away with this? These are good people, something you obviously know nothing about."
"Don't give me that bull Michael! I have a job, just like yours. When you kill other agents do you sit around and wonder what the life of that man was? Whether he had a family, if someone was waiting for him at home? What makes your killing more heroic than mine? After all it's really a matter of opinion isn't it? It's very subjective don't you think? For you your cause is valid, it's the right one, well that's exactly the way it is for me." Lauren said to him, her voice losing the sweetness she feigned when he was around.
"The difference is that you assassinate good people, you plan it, you carefully think it out! When I've killed I've done it in self-defense. You're a murderer! What you do ISN'T self-defense, it's murder! Don't compare yourself to me or the men and women in the CIA, because you are NOTHING like them! These are my friends Lauren! How could you pretend to care about me meanwhile planning the assassinations of my friends!" he said walking towards her. He grabbed her by the arms and began shaking her as he spoke.
"LET ME GO!!" she yelled at him. She kicked him and managed to loosen one arm. She picked up the lamp that was sitting on the table next to her and hit him over the head with it. Vaughn fell to the floor and Lauren picked up the lamp and tried hitting him with it again but he managed to move before she had a chance. He grabbed her foot and she fell to the floor. Vaughn got up and picked her up pushing her towards a wall.
"You are going to pay for everything, do you hear me!" he yelled at her. His voice was full of rage, he was fighting the desire to kill her every second that passed by.
"What are you going to do Michael, are you going to kill me? Is this how noble you are, the good squeaky clean ex-CIA agent is going to kill me? You can't get away with it. I'M the SENATOR'S daughter, you'll be put to death in no time." she said to him regaining her cool.
"You're a filthy murderous traitor and no one is going to care if I put a bullet through your head. Once everyone finds out who you are, it won't matter whose daughter you are. But I won't kill you, because unlike you I AM a good person. I'm going to make sure that you spend every single day of your life in a jail cell and you're going to wish I had killed you." Vaughn said to her, his face full of anger and hate.
"It doesn't matter whether or not I'm dead, or in jail. If I don't finish those six CIA agents, someone else will. They'll never even know what hit them. Do you think it's done because you know who I work for? It's never done! The Covenant will get someone else but the job...will...be...done." she said to him, knowing that the idea of his friends dying would strike a nerve.
"WHO!!!" he yelled at her. "Who will carry out those orders once your gone?"
"I...don't...know." she said to him.
"When? When were you supposed to carry out those orders?" he said. Lauren stayed quiet making him even angrier. "WHEN!!"
"Marshall and Carrie are supposed to be first. I was waiting to receive confirmation tonight by six o'clock. They have reservations at Logans for tonight. I was going to set up a bomb in their car after they went in. It would detonate once they turned on the ignition." She explained.
"What about Eric, Dixon, Williams and Parker?" Vaughn asked.
"I don't know. All I know is that Williams and Parker were going to get hit sometime in the next two days during one of their missions. I wasn't given any specifics. Dixon isn't my target, another agent was supposed to meet me today so that I could give him the file." Lauren said.
"What about Eric?" Vaughn asked.
"He's as good as dead. I put a bomb in his apartment an hour ago. As soon as he unlocks his door he'll be dead. He gets off of work in an hour in case you didn't know."
"How can you be so cold about this?" Vaughn asked his voice almost a whisper.
"What are you doing? Where are you taking me?" Lauren asked as Vaughn grabbed her arm and dragged her to the kitchen. He took out a pair of handcuffs from his bag and handcuffed her to the pipes underneath the kitchen sink.
"I'm not going to let you get away with this." He said leaning down to look straight at her face.
"You can't stop them. No matter what you do, YOU CAN'T STOP THEM!" Lauren yelled at him.
"That's right, you can't stop us." A male voice from behind Vaughn said. Vaughn turned around only to find himself facing Zisman, Lauren's handler. He had his gun pointed at him and before Vaughn had a chance to react Zisman pulled the trigger...
Will Vaughn die? If he lives, will he be in time to save his friend? Can Sydney do anything to stop this madness? Only time will tell...
Thanks to everyone who reviewed, I really appreciate it. I'll update before Tuesday, so you don't have to wait too long for the answers.
