Tess was about to pull the trigger when. *Smash!* An office chair slammed into the the side of Tess's head sending him flying. He watched Tess fly to the left and land on his side bouncing a foot further. He looked to see who saved him and saw Nicole standing with anger written on her face.

"Nobody kills a Watterson!" She stated dramatically. She then dropped the chair and grasped Alec's hand and pulled him up.

"Thanks. But why would you save me?" Alec asked

"Like I said, nobody kills a Watterson." She said smiling at him

"Does this mean you forgive me?" He asked

"The things you've gone through, I think you deserve a little forgiveness." She said giving a warm smile. Alec didn't smile in return he looked toward the unconscious Tess. Alec never thought he could feel as saddened as he was at that moment. He couldn't kill Tess, he may have tried to kill him but he had good intentions and he truly did love Alec like a son. Alec knew what he should do. He picked up Tess and carried him to a nearby room, Alec left his pistol for him just in case someone finds him and he's not asleep. Before he closed the door and locked it from the outside he saw Tess stir, he wasn't going to be sleeping for long.

Once he finished closing and locking the door he heard someone yell "I heard something down here!" The voice sounded deep and raspy, rushed footsteps soon followed. Alec then turned and ran.

"Run!" Alec yelled and they all flew into a sprint, Alec lagged behind because he was still recovering from the torturing. They went down the only hallway they could that was to their right. Before Alec could fully round the corner a shot rang out and he felt a sharp pain in his right leg. He winced but didn't break his stride, he knew if he did he'd die. More shots ensued and the footsteps got louder as they caught up. Alec, upon seeing a grenade paperweight got an idea. He picked up the "grenade" and as they rounded the corner he stopped and acted like he was pulling a pin, he then threw it and all the agents eyes widened.

"get down!" One yelled and they dove away from the "grenade". Alec smiled and continued to run he, rounded another corner and caught up with the Wattersons and ran along side the. When they stopped to get their breath they heard the footsteps once more. When they rounded the corner they pulled out their pistols again. They all immediately ran once more as a hail of bullets were shot at them, Alec turned around to a kneel position whipping his pistol up in the process. Immediately he he aimed and pulled the trigger as many times as he could. They reciprocated by hiding behind cover. When Alec heard the click of his fun being empty he jumped back up and kept running. They immediately noticed and shot him a couple times in the back. Alec stumbled but tried to keep his stride, he got to the Wattersons who were waiting around the next corner. As Alec and the Wattersons ran by Alec saw Tess's corner office meaning he wasn't far from the elevator. Alec stopped and ran in Tess's office, the Wattersons were a little confused but waited outside for him. Alec came out moments later with an SAW machine gun, when they saw this their eyes widened. It didn't take long for the agents to catch up, Alec acted fast and upturned a metal desk. They all hid behind it, as bullets soon rained down on the table, Alec immediately lifted up the SAW and looked at them, they had horror written on their faces. Smiling he aimed down the hall. The shooting went on for what seemed like forever as the SAW had an enormous clip, the other agents got lucky and hit Alec clipping him in the shoulder and some bullets managed to get in his arms. After a while the SAW finally ran out of ammo and Alec shoved it to the floor. The SAW did a lot of damage to the hall as many things were torn apart including the walls, he once again pulled out his pistol and reloaded it with the spare clip he had. They noticed the sudden stop in bullets and leaned out of cover firing once more. There were less guns firing meaning he had taken a couple out. He shivered at the thought of killing the innocent. Alec quickly came up with a plan not wanting the carnage to continue.

"Guys, I'm gonna pick up the table and we can get to the corner and get away." Alec said relaying the plan to them, pointing to the nearby hallway.

"But they'd get our legs." Nicole said with her ears covered

"I'm not gonna lift the table that high." He said trying to convince her as quickly as possible

"Alright let's do it." She said thinking she didn't have that many options. Alec proceeded to pick the table up slightly, he then shuffled slowly to the corner nearby. When they got there Alec fired a couple more shots to keep them at bay. He ran along with the Wattersons to an elevator that had a stair case nearby. Alec stopped between them, the Wattersons rushed into the already open elevator but Alec stood there as blood rushed out of his body from the many wounds he had.

"What are you doing get in here!" Richard said

"Yeah c'mon dude!" Gumball said who was keeping a firm grip on Darwin's arm, as Darwin refused to open his eyes.

"I can't come." Alec said to them, wincing slightly as the wounds stung more and more.

"what are you talking about!" Nicole shouted her voice cracking slightly.

"If you guys go down the elevator they'll see where your headed" he said pointing to the top of the elevator which clearly displayed where the elevator was. "They'll beat you to the bottom, their fast and they don't mess around" Alec said with a straight face

"Then what do we do?" Gumball asked

"You mean what do I do. You guys are taking the stairs down, if you be quiet they won't notice. If I take the elevator up they'll follow me and you'll be completely off the hook." Alec reasoned

"But what will you do then? They'll get you!" Nicole said saddening slightly

"Yeah they will." Alec said looking down a bit

"That's nonsense your coming with us!" Nicole said walking towards him and grabbing his wrist. She tried pulling him but he wouldn't budge.

"Nicole, let go" he said with a hint of sadness in his voice.

"No, your coming with us!" She said her voice breaking slightly

"No I'm not, I dug this hole and I'm not dragging you in with me, besides I'm bleeding out already I won't make it." He said his voice getting quieter, after he said this he had a coughing fit spilling a layer of blood on his hand as some stayed below his lip. By then all the Wattersons were looking and crying slightly. It was then Nicole let go of his wrist, she immediately turned around and hugged him. Alec was surprised at first but hugged her back, the rest of the Wattersons joined in moments later. When they all let go, Alec smiled at them.

"Goodbye guys." He said, with a hint of sadness. They slowly backed away and to the stairs.

"Goodbye Alec, Watterson" Nicole said and they all turned away and walked into the stair way. The other agents were coming he realized as he heard footsteps once more. As they rounded the corner Alec went into the elevator, he waved to them and the elevators doors started to close. He pulled in his hand and pressed the top floor. Alec sighed heavily when the doors closed. The floors dinged away, slowly, so slowly. He recalled everything that had happened in his life, from the day he first opened his eyes to his first step and so on... So far his life's been good, exciting, he had been happy through it all, and he had had it all. As he watched the floors ding by seemingly getting louder he realized he had been living for nothing, all the excitement and happiness was all just ignorance. 'Hmmf I guess ignorance gets the best of us all one time or another' he thought almost blacking out from the amount of blood loss. The elevator came to a grinding halt, what had been minutes felt like hours to him he wasted no time and ran as fast as he could which wasn't very fast as he was limping immensely, he heard them rushing up the steps. They had slowed down, meaning they were tired. The only place he thought to go was the roof, maybe he could catch the sunset, his last sunset. He noticed a pipe line running through the wall and he immediately grabbed the pipe and ripped it off. As he bursted through the doors he did indeed catch the sunset. They had been there for an entire twenty-four hours, he slowly turned around and barred the door with the pipe. Alec slowly limped toward the ledge his many wounds weighing him down, he watched the scenery, he saw the most beautiful sunset he had ever seen. The sky was pink, and the sun was the biggest he had ever seen it, for most a good end to a gorgeous day. No, not for him, not this time.

*click!*, at the sound of this Alec turned around with a smile on his face. He looked and saw Tess his head covered with his own blood, he was pointing a pistol at him and he had just cocked the hammer.

"Dead end." He said his face hinting a smile.

"Yeah I guess it is. But all I've got to ask is, is it worth it?" He questioned not caring if he was going to die

"You already know the answer to that. It almost actually isn't, I'm losing you. But I have to kill you, it's too late to save you, I shouldn't have spred the rumor out of anger. But it's out of my control." Tess explained holding his head in pain

"I completely understand. Tess, but how did you get up here?" Alec said showing no hint of frowning

"I heard you taking the high road and saving the Wattersons, I took a short cut and followed you."

"Huh I wish it could've ended differently." He said coughing up a little more blood afterwards

"*sigh* I wish it could've ended differently too champ." He said frowning. Alec then started slowly backing up and he kept on going, he was about to go off the edge when a shot rang out. And he was plummeting to the ground before he knew it. He kept going, the world seemingly flashing by. He let go of his breath he had been holding, and he awaited deaths embrace. 'I guess I was just one more failed experiment', then everything went black.
