Epilogue

A little Possible 'what happened next'. It could be when Hal left the house in ending one, or a bit further down the line in ending two but I think this is what Hal's final ending was always going to be.

I own nothing. But thank you so much for letting me play with these characters

Later

He had tried to live without it. Now he knew he couldn't.

He headed for London. He knew it well and he knew where to look.

He had picked her carefully; her clothes suggested killed in the 80s and her facial appearance made him think her recruiter had done it on a dare. She was alone, and from the way she kept on looking around, she was hunting. Their eyes had met a few times, he had smiled, she had smiled back. After half an hour he had sauntered up next to her and offered to buy her a drink.

She had looked at him with that all too familiar hunger in her eyes as she smiled. 'You know, I'm actually very thirsty,' a ghoulish grin on her too thin lips for that fat face. 'Think you can help?'

Hal groaned inwardly, Oh good, a comedienne, but kept the smile on his lips.

''I've noticed you over there.' She began, 'what made you come over?' she tossed her limp hair to the side as she fluttered her eyes.

'I don't know,' he began, turning to the bar and noticing his refection in the mirror behind the array of spirits. He looked at his face, he really did look quite charming, he thought as he sat facing an empty chair. 'Can I tell you a secret?' He asked conspiratorially.

'Oh do.' She grinned. 'If you're lucky, I may even share one back.'

Oh save me from this joker, he thought, but continued with barely a twitch. 'There is a choice I have to make of which there can be two outcomes,' He said. 'The fairest way I could think of doing this was to find someone impartial,' he indicated her with a flattering bow, 'And play the best hand I could.'

'Can't you decide on your own?' She asked, her eyes meeting his with interest, her hunger temporarily forgotten.

He signaled the barman 'I am in two minds. But both have decided to be at peace with whatever the result will be. I was hoping you could help me make the choice.'

She opened her mouth. 'Really?' Her eyes darted to his neck. Jesus, was it always that obvious? He thought. 'Sounds risky,'

'True, but after all; What is life without risk?' Hal said with half a smile. 'I am so tired of trying to be in control of everything, I decided to give it to another, just this once.'

She looked at him, momentarily confused, he smiled again, her head to one side. Finally after a moment she said 'What's your name?'

He had smiled his most seductive smile at her as he pulled a chair up behind him. 'My name's Ha…' he paused. 'Harry.' He said as he lifted her proffered hand to his lips for a kiss.

The End.
