"Sorry Evans,"

The wind blew softly as the boy watched the scene play out in front of him, he couldn't help but scoff at the actors. Everything shown in front of him seemed like a mockery towards him and his friends, they had been through hell and back and yet; yet these mortals were not the least bit grateful.

Pushing harder on the hat sitting on top of his head he narrowed his eyes on the people around him until they finally landed on his target. Setting up his sniper gun he allowed himself to grow tense, watching every movement made and listening to every little sound around him.

He watched with caution as his target came out of the building, 1,2, 3..... He silently counted and then shot his target, he watched as a panic flooded the scene and guns were pulled out but it was too late, the destruction was caused and he was on his feet.

Adrenaline and momentum took over him as he gained speed and ran, running through the streets of Rome and quickly climbed up a pipe leading to the roof, he stood on a roof eyes scanning the sky for his ride home. "I'm on," He said, waiting for a response.

"Hold still." He heard a voice say from a distance, his eyes perked up as he heard footsteps but he knew they would be here soon, they had too.

"We don't want to hurt you" A voice said from behind him as he looked for his ride, he squinted his eyes and THERE! In the corner of his eyes was a helicopter. He ran ignoring the protests behind him, he followed the sky taking off in the same direction of the helicopter.

His feet moved quicker as a rope flew down a few inches close to him. He grabbed it and looked up. His eyes met a swirl of amber and he swore his heart skipped a few beats. He took in the beauty above him and he smiled, it was her: the love of his life, the woman who had captured his heart and last name too.

"Sorry Evans," She said as he frowned, what did she mean? With a quick movement the rope was cut and he was falling; falling from the sky with the last thing he saw was his wife. This is what it must feel like...... His thought never finished as everything went black.
