Okay, so after this there is only one more chapter. Hope it's good.
This time, he found her on the pier, and something wasn't right. The smile she usually wore was replaced with a saddened look as she looked out at the ocean. He listened to the wave's crash against the shore, the seagulls shrieking from high in the sky, and yet she still remained quiet.
"What's wrong?" he finally asked.
"Did they ever find my killer?" she finally asked.
His hands clenched tightly, knuckles turning white. His face hardened as he thought about the Russian arms dealer who had put six bullets in her chest. They had never found him, no matter how hard he had looked.
"No…" he said quietly. She gave him a sad smile.
"It wasn't your fault G" she said quietly placing a hand over his.
"I should have been there to help you" he said, finally getting the words out, the words that had been eating a hole inside him for over ten years. The guilt that had been eating at him for the past ten years.
"I thought I could handle it on my own, I thought I was my father, I shouldn't have left without backup" she answered looking out at the ocean.
She turned to look at him, "G, you need to move on, let go of the guilt that's been eating away at you for so long. You deserve to be happy, to be free" she said.
"If I let go I'll lose you" he said cupping her cheek, finally putting words into his unspoken fears. He didn't want to lose her, he couldn't lose her. She was his everything, the thing that kept him going.
She let out a short laugh, "You'll never lose me G, my heart belongs to you" she said placing his hand above her heart, where he could, in fact, feel the beating of her heart. This confused him, she was supposed to be dead, she shouldn't have a heartbeat.
He wanted to ask her what was going on, but she was smiling that smile again, the one that said she knew something he didn't, but wasn't going to say a word. The sun began to sink over the horizon, and she looked out at it, and then back at him, sadness written over her face.
"I have to go now Callen" she said softly, and his heart felt like it was getting ripped out of his chest. He knew what she was saying, she wasn't talking about her little disappearing acts, she was talking about leaving. Forever.
"No…" he whispered, begging her to stay with him, with his eyes, his voice.
She kissed him lightly, and then looked into his eyes. "Goodbye G, don't pull away from them. You finally found your family. I love you" she said.
With that, she started walking down the pier.
"Reagan! No! Stop!" he shouted running after her, but as he ran, he knew it was too late. She was gone.
The worst part, he didn't know if she knew that he loved her.
Her ghost was gone. Forever.
Then everything became a bright light.
