A/N: Hey Guys, Its me Meg :) Im really sorry for being late with this chappie and for it being really short. Im having writers block :( ENJOY!

They stood at opposite ends of the flat dusty road. They also stood at opposite ends in this war. Tom just stood there and looked at her with a sad and scared expression on his face. Tom Mason knew what she wanted, his son. He would never let them have him.

Tom heard footsteps behind him and the sound of a handguns safety going off. He turned to see Maggie, Ben and Weaver standing behind him staring at him. When he turned back around Karen was standing less than a meter from him. None of the fighters flinched, they stood their ground and trained their guns on the blond girl.

"Tom, its nice to see you again. I suppose you know why I'm here?" She said her voice the normal flat, expressionless tone.

"You're not getting him, Karen. You can't have him. Leave now and no harm will come to you." He said shakily.

"Harm me?" She had a devious smile on her face. "Oh, Tom you should know by now that the 2nd mass or any human could hurt us."

"Yeah, well, we'll see about that." Ben sneered taking a few steps towards her.

"We will get him. He belongs on our side, he always has." Karen walked towards Tom and tilted her head in an endearing way. "There's something dark inside Hal, you and I both know it, you can hide from it all you want but you will eventually be forced to confront the truth."

Maggie glared at Karen her finger resting on the trigger, the only thing that stopped her from shooting her was the thought of Hal.

"You don't know him then. Hal Mason is as good as a human being can get." Weaver surprisingly said.

"That maybe what you see and what he wants you to believe but its not true. Is is, Tom?" Karen was quickly joined by skitters and mechs. "You and Rebeca knew before the invasion that something wasn't all right, that something was wrong with him but it didn't really show until the invasion. To everyone else he seemed fine and just a normal survivor and fighter but then he told you what he was feeling and thinking. You thought he was a monster, you didn't know what to do with him anymore."

"Dad.." Ben whispered out. "What did he tell you?"

Tom just stood there staring at Karen, not daring to look at anyone else.

"Leave now, Karen." He growled. "Or I'm going to shoot you right now."

This brought a devious little smile the girls lips, she stared into Tom's eyes formulating a new plan.

"Okay. We will leave but this isn't over. we'll be back for him and next time I won't be alone." She lied straight through her teeth. She walked away, the skitters and mechs following her, but she didn't leave completely.
