start to shoot. The KBs shoot back at Ryan, and he is forced to take cover. Ami sees this and quickly shoots the KB who aims at Ryan. The KB goes down in two shots; the other KBs focuses their attention on Ami, and Ami all too quickly gets shot in the arm. She takes cover behind the table, and Ryan screams out to ask if she is okay.
‘Yes, I’m fine,’ she says.
Ryan gets angry and empties his magazine on the remaining two KBs. It does not take long for them to go down, and then all falls quiet. Ryan shuffles over to Ami and asks her if she is alright. He looks at her arm and sees that the wound is closing itself up. They both take a deep breath and spend a moment immersed in peace. Then Ryan says, ‘This is our change,’ and he stands up and reaches his hand out to Ami. He helps her up and they slowly, but with caution, walk to the door.
‘I’m out of ammo. How much do you have left?’ Ryan asks her.
Ami checks her gun and says, ‘I have three bullets left.’ She gives Ryan the gun because she thinks he has more use for it. They walk over to the door and when, they are about to walk outside, they hear a click.
Ryan feels a hot-and-cold sensation across his body, and then he hears someone say, ‘Drop your god damn weapon!’
Ryan knows the voice all too well by now, and he and Ami slowly turn around. He sees the resistance boos standing at the back of the room, his back to the big windows. There is a bright light shining through the windows, and Ryan cannot see everything clearly, but it appears that the boss has been shot. His arm seeps blood, and he is full of scratches and small wounds.
Ryan slowly throws his gun on the ground and, in an angry voice, asks, ‘What do you want now?’
The boss gives an evil smile and says, ‘Nothing.’ He then aims his gun and is about to shoot Ryan.
‘Look out!’ screams Ami, and she jumps in front of Ryan. The shot sounds, and Ami falls to the ground. She has been shot in her chest. Ryan rolls over and grabs the gun. He then shoots the boss in the chest. With tears in his eyes, he walks forward to the boss, who now is slowly collapsing, and shoots him once again in the chest. He keeps walking and then shoots the boss one final time in the head. The man falls backwards and through the window.
Ryan walks over to the window and looks down to take one last glimpse of the boss falling all the way down.
Then it strikes him what just happened. He turns around and sees Ami lay on the ground. She is not moving. With tears in his eyes, he runs over to her and rolls her over. Ami has been shot in her heart, and is slowly shutting down.
‘No, no, no, no! Please tell me you’re okay,’ says Ryan.
In Ami’s final moments, she lays her hand on Ryan’s cheek and, with a soft voice, says, ‘Thank you for protecting me.’
Ryan starts to cry and keep saying, ‘It can’t end like this!’ He cries and repeats the words over and over again.
Ami smiles as she looks into Ryan’s eyes, and then she closes her eyes and her hand falls down.
Ryan sits in the middle of the room with Ami in his arms and tears in his eyes. He cannot believe what just happened and he does not know what to do. He looks down at Ami and tells her he is sorry. He then gives her a soft kiss on the forehead and hugs her tightly.
Two Months Later
Ryan is sitting in front of a nice, quiet lake with a cabin behind him.
Everything is peaceful, the sun is hanging low, and the birds can be heard singing.
He hears something and looks behind him. He watches as Ami walks to him with a glass of lemonade in her hands. She sits down next to him and hands him the glass. She then holds his arm and lays her head on his shoulder.
They both smile, and Ryan stares across the lake.
He remembers all too clearly what happened in the city…
