A few hours later..
The night, which had been full of twists and turns, was almost over for Nina and Cale as they sped away from the meeting point, with the Cordilla virus in their possession. Amador had been more than happy to sell it to Nina in the first place, and she was angry at him for allowing Jack even the slightest chance of exacting his revenge. The moment their eyes had met, the second they saw each other for the first time in years had been a shock to the system for Nina, and it had taken her a few minutes to calm the internal nerves she felt.
"The boss says that we need to travel east for 30 miles, until we reach an old airfield. There we'll be flown to his hideout," Cale explained as he manoeuvred the car through the dark and barren roads of the northern Mexican desert. Nina nodded and allowed herself to close her eyes for a second. Cale was one of her more trusted bodyguards, and the two had worked closely together for some time, so she felt safe around him. Cale, however, sometimes felt as if he was seconds away from being betrayed by Nina, even though he knew that she had no reason to do so unless it was in her interests, and why would it be in her interests to kill him? He remembered the scene back in the old church when Nina had Bauer handcuffed to a chair and had seemed almost like she was considering betraying their employer. He had sensed that she was seriously considering shooting him instead of Jack, and he had felt so relieved when the bullet tore through Jack's face, yet he also felt guilty. Reminding himself that he had no reason to feel guilty, he had quickly forgotten about Jack.
Taking the vial out of her pocket, Nina examined it, and wondered why the thing seemed heavier then when she had examined the contents to ensure that it was the real deal. Twisting the cap slowly, Cale looked at her with panicked eyes, and Nina had to hold back laughter. Suddenly, a strange noise could be heard coming from the vial itself.
"Is that supposed to happen?," Cale asked, but Nina had no time to answer his question as the vial exploded, killing them both immediately. As the flames spread inside the car and the smoke rose high above it, noone saw the explosion on a rural road in the northern Mexican desert, and noone knew that Nina Myers, elite mercenary and feared terrorist, had just died.
