Everything She Knew is False

Chapter 21 Goodbye

Jared couldn't help but let the tears escape his eyes. Tamera put her arm around Jared and started to cry with him. Their crying didn't last long when the heard a voice behind them. "Give...me...the damn....serum!" Ian said slow getting up holding his chest and holding his gun in his hand. Jared was now standing facing Ian with hard look on his face.

Tamera could tell that this was not going to end well. "I said give it to me!" Ian spat at Tamera. Tamera started to get up but Ian simply pointed the gun at Jared and said "One wrong move and he gets a bullet through the chest." Tamera then went back down not taking her eyes off Ian. "Ian just let her go." Jared said trying to reason with him. "No! The only way your leaving here is in a body bag!" Ian yelled in a slightly psychotic way.

Without warning Tamera took the gun out of Kevin's hand and shot Ian three times in the chest. Jared stood there in shock and then checked for a pulse on Ian. "Is he dead?" Tamera asked in a shaky voice with the gun still raised. "Yeah, he's dead." Jared replied with a sigh of relief. Tamera then let her arms drop as if the gun just gained three hundred pounds. Tamera hadn't realized that Jared was already at her side with his hand on her shoulder.

Tamera then slowly got up and went over to the computer and printed out all her information. "Your really going to leave. Are you sure that you want to forget about all of this?" Jared said with a worries look. "Yes, am sure. I mean, I need to do this, but if I do I won't ever remember my parents, Chris, Trent, or even you." Tamera said turning toward Jared.

"Did you mean it?" Tamera asked Jared with a serious look. "Mean what?" Jared asked confused. "Did you mean what you said when you said that you loved me?" Tamera asked still looking serious. "Yeah, I meant it." Jared answered. Tamera simply nodded and then said "Will you help me sneak out?" Jared lowered his them looked up with a fake smile. "Of course." He said heading for the door.

After they snuck past all of the people in the headquarters they went toward the street. Tamera figured that no one had seen or heard the bombs since people were just walking around with smiles. Tamera turned to face Jared and look at him one last time. "Well, I guess this is goodbye." Jared said with a half smile. "Yeah, I um I guess so." Jared then gave Tamera a tight hug. As Jared pulled away Tamera then brought his lips down to hers and they shared a long passionate kiss. Tamera then pulled away and injected herself with all the memory. "I wish we had more time together." Tamera said with a slight smile as she walked into the crowd.

Jared was left standing by himself staring off in the crowd. "Is she gone?" Asked a voice behind Jared. Jared turned to find Trent looking at him. "Yeah, she's gone." Jared replied with blank face. "It's probably for the best." Trent said turning around to go back inside. Jared scanned the crowd one last time then went back inside the headquarters.
