The American And The Russian (Benny Watts) [The Queens Gambit]

Part 36 Worth It

I stood packing up all my things making sure not to leave anything in this room, all my dresses, all benny's stuff that I had brought with me, as well as all the pictures from the CIA. I loaded up my bags and suitcases as well as all the little things from Sally making sure they were close to me so I could get my hand on them if I needed too. But as I did I heard the yellow phone ringing, I froze feeling the icy chill up my spine hearing it ring, I went over a moment and picked up the phone listening to the sound of breathing,

"Y/n..." He says

"Benny?"

"Y/n. Please.. Don't do this." he says "Please... you can't do this. You know it's suicide, It's not worth it"

"You're worth it to me benny,"

"You can't, you don't know what they're planning, you have to get out of this you have to get out of it now. You have to take your things and go back to the apartment, gather your things and get out of there"
"Benny I have to. I have got to. You're worth more than anything to me, I couldn't live with myself If I left you there" I said, beginning to cry "Even if I did. I would be running from casak and Russia for the rest of my life. I have to get an end to this, even if it means letting them end me"

"Y/n, You can't. Please, I love you, You can't do this"

"Well I'm doing it. I love you too, and I'll see you soon benny" I told him before putting the phone down.
