Chapter 3

Sean was on high alert. As he walked, his head was on a swivel. His hand hovered over the spot where his concealed pistol rested, ready to pull it out at a moments notice. As Sean and Kate arrived on the platform of the transportation dock, his hope rose. It looked like a slow day. Only a little over a hundred people were wandering about the terminals

"Come on! Let's go!" Kate insisted, pulling Sean.

Sighing, Sean said, "We can't go to Illium. The first thing the people who are after us are going to do is check for outgoing flights with our names on them."

"So let's buy some new tickets." Kate insisted, scared.

"That's not how it's going to work. We need to go in a way that they can't track us. I contacted a friend. He'll help us out." Sean said slowing down.

They waited in complete silence. Quickly, a salarian dockworker walked up to Sean.

"Hello, Mr. Ghost sir." He said quickly. "What seems to be the problem?"

Taking an authoritative tone, Sean said, "We need to get off this planet. We've got some heat behind us."

"Incognito. I understand." The salarian said looking behind him. He paused then motioned for the pair to follow them. Sean helped Kate forward as they slipped behind the lines, and eventually the terminals. "It won't be comfortable." The salarian warned.

"I understand." Sean said coldly.

"Here we are." The salarian said, scanning the crate. "Looks like you're headed to Earth." He commented.

"Earth?" Kate exclaimed.

"Anywhere but Illium." Sean said silencing her.

"Aright get in." The salarian said opening up the refrigerator sized crate.

Kate paused but was helped forward by both Sean and the salarian. She let out a painful sigh as she sat down. She buried her face in her hands and let her emotions overtake her.

"Thanks." Sean said dropping a one hundred credit chit in the salarian's hand. "Another thing. I need you to send these people on a wild chase." Sean said handing over the tickets to Illium.

"That's what I do best." The salarian said grinning.

"Thank you." Sean said also stepping into the crate. The salarian closed the box and everything went dark.

Sean could hear Kate crying softly. He tried to console her, but he knew it would take plenty of time.

The ride went in complete silence.

One week later

Sean settled down on the couch of his new Earth apartment. Sean squinted as the sunlight pierced through the window. Pressing a button, the windows auto-darkened, making the light more tolerable. He sighed audibly as he turned on the Galactic News channel.

The charming female voice flooded the room as Sean leaned back onto the couch. She calmly explained that Sidonis turned himself over to C-Sec and fully confessed to murdering his own team and the complications of his confession are that Omega has no government to extradite him. She said as pictures appeared, mirroring her story. The TV suddenly turned black.

"What the-" Sean began as he turned around, seeing Kate holding the remote.

"I need to understand what happened back on Omega." Kate said sternly, tossing the remote out of Sean's reach.

"Do we half to talk about this now?" Sean asked, desperate to avoid the conversation.

"You've been avoiding talking about what happened for the past week. I want to know, my life is in danger!" Kate said, crossing her arms over her chest and holding her ground.

"Listen, it was just self defense." Sean lied.

"No. No it wasn't. I've seen self-defense. Jesus, I've done self-defense. That, that made the self-defense I learned look like child's play"

Running his hands through his hair Sean said, "I really don't know."

"What do you mean?"

"It was just something that stayed with me."

"Right the 'amnesia'. That's not going to work on me, Sean." Kate said her voice growing annoyed.

"I'm telling you the truth!" Sean said standing up and throwing his hands up in frustration.

"Oh. So now you're being truthful?" Kate yelled.

"You want the truth?" Sean said raising his voice as well.

"Please, Sean. We're best friends. There shouldn't be secrets between us." Kate said her voice getting calmer.

"Fine." Sean said. He began to spill the entire story. He told Kate everything; when he woke up in a pool of his own blood, when he started the wet work business, even his last hit. After he finished, he sighed. It felt like he had lifted a weight off of his chest. He began to relax as Kate pondered the story

"Have you been keeping it from me this entire time?" Kate spoke up, once again getting frustrated

"I was protecting you." Sean said confused at her reaction.

"From what? We were attacked! How am I supposed to feel safe if you've got people after you?"

"Listen, I know this is my fault. I'll take the repercussions."

"It's not that same! I- I just need to get out for a while." Kate said stepping out the door.

"Fuck!" Sean yelled throwing a chair to the ground. He began pacing the apartment irritably. He was on the verge of loosing his friend. He couldn't let that happen. Ideas began running through his mind. He could start over, like before, then he'd be safe and so will Kate. He could do that.

Hours passed and still no sign of Kate. Sean still paced wildly around the apartment. There was a quiet tone as a new message popped up on the computer. Sean rushed over to it. It was a video message, sent from an omni-tool. Sean quickly opened it up. Kate's face appeared on the holographic screen.

"What?" Sean muttered completely confused as he sat down in the chair.

"Hello Sean. When you receive this message, I will be on my way back home." She looked away from the screen, wiping away some tears that were forming in her eyes, "Why Sean? Why? I trusted you. Hell, I even fell in love with you. You made me feel safe. Now, now I don't know what to think. I just don't feel safe."

Sean swallowed audibly. He was so confused. Kate loved him? How could he have been so stupid? His emotions welled inside of him, but he pushed them down trying to make it through the entire message.

"I just need some time alone." Kate continued, her voice cracking as tears streamed down her face. "Please don't try to contact me. I need time to think. Good bye, Sean." The screen then darkened as the message ended.

Sean just sat there. He felt as though a bomb had just blown up in his stomach. His emotions emerged in a flurry. Tears began to form in his eyes as he angrily jumped up. In total rage he flipped over the table, shattering what rested on it all over the floor. He sat back down, and covered his face as he let his sadness and emptiness overtake him.
