I do not own CSI
"Jason?" Carmen whimpered. "You're alive?"
"I thought Perry said he beat you to death!" Parker bellowed.
"I guess I'm not very easy to kill."
Nick kept his gun lowered. "Alright Parker. You got nowhere to run; time to turn your gun in."
Parker shook his head. "I've got the girl, and I could blow her up right now. I can make you do whatever I want. This isn't the end."
Jason stepped forward. "Hey man, I'm still on your side. I led them here so they could see how powerful we've become. It's too late to shut us down. If we die someone will easily carry out our mission for us. And I'm sorry it took so long. I got distracted."
The room was quiet. Carmen had a hard time believing he was lying. If he was lying, Jason was sure good at it. You could see the gears in Parker's head turning.
"Prove your loyalty," Parker took another gun out of his pocket and threw it across the floor toward Jason. "Shoot her."
Jason swallowed and took the gun. Parker watched from where he was, several feet away from her. Jason had a blank expression as he aimed his gun at Carmen. She swallowed and watched as he stared at her. Her heart was racing. How could he shoot her?
Click. The gun was empty. Carmen let out a breath she was holding in. She could feel pain even though she wasn't hit. Her mind was predicting the pain but was fooled cruelly. Parker smiled, amused. Nick stared at the scene before him.
He knew it was coming, but still it threw him off guard. Right now he was in a stalemate. If he fired his gun, Carmen would surely die.
Parker laughed. "I didn't know you had it in you."
Jason smiled and walked over the Parker. Even though he was just faking it, it still scared Carmen. They shook hands. Suddenly Jason slapped Parker's gun away from him. He laid a big one to Parker's face. Then he threw the watch at Nick.
"Take Carmen!" he shouted to Nick. "Cut the blue wire inside the watch."
Without hesitation Nick and the SWAT team member untied Carmen and dragged her to safety. They pried the back off of the watch and with a pocketknife, cut the blue wire in the watch. Instantly, Carmen's watch fell off her wrists. While Jason toughed it out with Parker, they secured the watch bomb. Whenever Parker hit Jason he stumbled backwards, gasping in pain. Nick checked over Carmen to make sure she was ok. She squirmed, trying to break away to help Jason. Jason was being pushed towards the window.
Finally Parker pushed Jason. Glass shattered as he passed through it. He managed to grab a ledge. His feet dangled on the overhanging.
"Jason!" Carmen yelled, ripping herself away from Nick and racing at Parker.
She jumped on Parker's back and choked him from behind. Parker gagged. He pounded Carmen into a wall. On the fourth time she let go and crashed to the floor. He gasped as Carmen limped to Jason.
"I got you."
She gripped his wrist and tried pulling him up.
Jason looked up and warned, "Look out!"
Three gun shots rang. Parker stood over Carmen, a look of shock over his face. Nick Stokes and the SWAT man had fired their guns. He fell forward, past Jason and slid on the overhanging. His red blood made a path. Carmen kept her eyes on Jason, not wanting to see the corpse. She continued to pull Jason up.
Just as he was about all the way inside the building Parker lunged for Jason's ankle, attempting to pull him back. The man had a crazed, satanic look in his eye. Somehow, he wasn't dead yet. Jason kicked him off with his other foot, sending Parker all the way to the ground. Someone from the SWAT team on the lower floor appeared and checked out Parker's body. Both Carmen and Jason knew that Parker was dead.
Shakily, Carmen embraced Jason. She started crying into his neck. Jason stood there with her.
He repeatedly whispered, "It's all over."
