Fiona heard footsteps approaching the room, and stopped at the door.
- If you talk... She pressed the blade of the knife to Eames' throat. I'll slit your throat.
The door handle lowered, and opened.
Goren had just appeared.
He stood in the doorway, unable to move, paralyzed by the scene before him.
Fiona was holding Alex firmly with one hand behind her back, and with the other...
was thrusting the blade of a knife at his throat.
Her heart stopped beating...
His blood ran cold.
My God...
It couldn't be...
Tell me it's not true.
That it was just a nightmare...
And that he would eventually wake up.
For God's sake...
Why hadn't he dealt with Fiona once and for all.
He'd thought that with his warning last time, she'd keep her nose clean, and that would have been enough to keep her away from Alex.
But instead...
It had done just the opposite.
But because of his negligence Eames was in danger.
He should have boxed her...
And take her to the station.
But if he had done that...
It would have been the end of the Eames cover...
And he would have ruined everything.
All his days of undercover work destroyed in one night.
But in a way it wouldn't have been so bad.
She would have stopped...
And she would have come back to his side more quickly in the investigations.
Goren had to think about how to act...
And above all, not to make any mistakes.
Eames' life depended on it.
-Close the door... Fiona ordered his words. Or I kill her.
Or I kill her...
Goren felt panic overcome him.
Killing his little Alex...
Damn it...
He had to pull himself together...
Reluctantly, he complied, and went to close the door, but did not take his eyes off Eames.
Goren had to find a way...
A solution...
And quickly.
His hands were shaking, and he could hardly contain his tremors.
He tried to put his face back together.
Hide his emotions...
Calm his heartbeat...
And breathe calmly.
To be in a panic...
Would not help Eames.
On the contrary...
It would not help...
And he might make a mistake.
Fiona smiled.
At last she had the tall dark-haired man's full attention.
If he had dropped Mandy for her, right from the start...
Mandy wouldn't be in this situation.
At least...
She would have taken care of her, in a different way.
The attempted rape having failed...
She had to be strong this time...
And make sure she didn't miss.
Her murder attempt...
This time...
Would not fail.
The tall dark-haired man had no one to blame but himself.
God...
How she hated Mandy...
That saintly no-touch.
And to have her there...
At her mercy...
She was getting off on it.
It was even better than having sex.
She would love to see her six feet under.
Fiona pressed the blade of the knife a little more against Eames' throat.
Damn it...
Since the night Alex was almost raped...
Bobby should have forced Alex to stop this infiltration.
Even if it meant suffering the wrath of their superiors.
Deakins would have been more tolerant.
He should have known that Fiona would come back to the charge...
And much worse this time...
And yet...
He had hoped that it would not be the case.
But he had always had this apprehension...
Whenever he left Alex...
And leave her here alone.
- Bobby...
At the sound of Eames' voice choked by the knife at his throat, his heart sank.
Goren had had enough.
Why did they always attack Eames, when they wanted to harm him.
It was always the same story.
Couldn't they leave her alone and attack him directly...
It was decidedly, a carrier of misfortune for Eames.
He did not understand that she could stay by his side.
And especially that she could love him.
He, who was only a source of problems for her.
If by misfortune...
Something happened to him...
He would kill Fiona with his own hands.
And it wouldn't matter if he had to go to jail for murder.
Bobby...
So that was the tall, dark-haired guy's name...
Fiona smiled, a satisfied, evil smile.
When she got rid of Mandy...
He would be all hers.
And in her arms, he would soon forget the loss of Mandy.
Like any customer, he couldn't be attached to her.
And when a client got tired of one girl, he always chose another...
Usually...
Her.
And he was like all the others.
- Let her go!
Goren had just shouted his words, his face red and distorted with anger.
Fiona shook her head in denial.
It was out of the question.
What the hell...
Nobody was giving her orders...
And especially not a man.
It was the man who had to bend to her will.
And Bobby would be no exception.
A thought crossed his mind.
Did he know about the news...
The one that Mandy had tried to hide by any means necessary.
But that all the girls in the club had immediately guessed about Mandy.
These things were hard to hide, especially for women of their background.
Bobby must not have known about it...
Otherwise, he would have left Mandy to her own devices long ago.
No man would take responsibility, especially for this kind of thing.
And especially not with girls like them.
They had their little women for that.
They were there for their amusement.
It was never serious.
Fiona had been there.
And so she knew what she was saying.
That she was apt to know what was going to happen.
Bobby would simply abandon Mandy, and throw himself into the arms of another woman.
Mandy would not escape the rule.
- Mandy came between... between you and me...
Fiona spat out her words angrily, pushing the knife blade even further down Eames' throat, from which a few drops of blood escaped, sliding down his neck.
Goren's heart froze at the sight of Eames' blood running down his neck.
He was losing his mind.
That blood...
was driving him crazy.
He couldn't move...
And this crazy woman was bleeding her little Alex, in front of him, helpless.
Goren had to find a solution...
Before she bled Eames out, or gave him a fatal blow.
The pain Eames was feeling, he was feeling it.
He was in pain.
And his big hazel eyes shining with anguish.
What the hell...
What could he do...
Fiona was preparing to break the news.
She knew this news would be a big hit.
- Poor idiot... She's pregnant... She laughed an evil laugh. You didn't notice... She's expecting a child...
Fiona emphasized the last word.
Little by little her words entered Goren's brain, taking all their place.
He looked at her dumbfounded.
