Disclaimer: I only own the plot

You cannot choose whom you fall in love with.

Pairings: Kari and Tate

Really short chapter, but it is needed for suspense reasons.

Kate gets two options what are they and which will she choose.

Ari spoke in a quiet but firm voice, "Now Caitlin I am not a completely bad person, I am going to give you two choices," he paused to pick up his son and his sister, which made Tony glare at them both. Then continued "The first, which I advice you to take is that you come with us," he nods to the men around him, "which means you can stay with your darling son and charming daughter." One of the smaller men placed her son on her lap, while another untied her.

Kate held onto her son tight, she never wanted to let him go. Kate motioned for Alex but Ari shook his head, "No, I think I'm going to hang onto this one, for security reasons." But she knew there would be a catch to this generous offer, which came next. "All you have to do is prove your loyalty to me and our son by shooting him." Ari nodded in Tony's direction. Kate looked at Tony who looked frightened, no wonder he couldn't hear what was going on, he could only watch.

Kate looked at Ari in shock as she spoke, "you want me to kill Tony?" Ari shook his head "No I only want you to shoot in the leg, he will suffer severe pain and will most likely only lose his leg." Ari had an evil smile on his face

Kate asked dreading the answer, "What's option two?"

Ari's smile ceased, "in short, I will kill your friend here," he glances at Tony, "and I'll raise Martin and feisty little Alex here without a mother or a heart, while you sit at your desk unsuccessfully trying to find me and wonder what your children would look like today." The other men in the room laughed until Ari looked up at them.

Flashback

Ari ran his hand down her back bare while she drank her orange juice, he smiled at her in such away that it matched his eyes, pure kindness and love. She put her OJ on the bedside table, rolled over and kissed him; he was such a good kisser. He was the perfect package apart from one thing; her boss hates him and has many wild conspiracies about him. But then again he had never made honest passionate love to him either, which you need to do before you realise how much love he has to give people.

Argh scary terrorists, which will Kate choose. Hopefully option one, but I don't know if she would be able to pull the trigger.
