He was awake. "What do you want now?"
"You're going to die tomorrow." She said, flatly.
"How astute of you."
"I…I can get you out."
"No you can't."
"I have the key."
"You won't use it."
"Yes, I-"
"No. Leave."
"Why?"
Because it's too tempting…
"Because I have need to think."
He stretched out on his cot. She lingered.
"You really want me to go?"
No!
"Yes."
She stood…turned. Looked over her shoulder. "Dark Ace…I…"
Don't say it.
"I…I'll…be there…tomorrow."
…Thanks.
"Wait…" he murmured.
"What?"
"After tomorrow…look in the desk drawer."
Her footsteps faded, leaving him to his unsettled musing.
OOO
Author's Note: Total word count: 100
Its times like this that I wish I let myself have more than 100 words per installment. I could have had a LOT of fun with this one. Chopping it back to 100 words was so very hard to do…
I may update again today, if I get the chance.
