Edgar felt his breath catch in his throat. What was happening to him? Was he dying? Was this what dying felt like? He wasn't sure, but he knew he didn't want to die. He wasn't ready…
Too much was waiting for him behind that glass partition… if he could be one place in the world right now… it would be behind that wall.
Chloe…
She had gotten lucky… she had gotten a spot behind the glass wall…
And that was how he wanted it.
He wanted her to be safe.
Edgar remembered the first time he met Chloe.
She had seemed so perfect.
Unattainable…At first he had been jealous of Jack Bauer. Chloe would do whatever he told her to. He was so commanding. It seemed like they were perfect for each other.
Edgar had been too hard on her. He had wanted her too much. He had tried too hard… too much…
He should have let her do what she wanted… he should have backed down…
Chloe was a free spirit…
She flew with the wind…
She did what she pleased…
No one could hold her back…
But Edgar had tried…
He shouldn't have done that…
Edgar felt his stomach lurch again, and this time he knew he was dying…
And he was afraid…
But not of death…
He was afraid that no one would miss him when he was gone.
Would Chloe miss him?
But the more important question was…
Would she forgive him…?
