Murder in Progress

The Cruelest Torture is Remembering

¿Kathrine Wallace?

Pinkerton Agent, V.P.

Today it was no one at all, just me handcuffed to a dented metal chair. The lighting was dimmed and only around me. But that all soon changed.

"Kate." Nathan's gruff voice rang out and he slowly emerged with a handgun, the safety off. "Do you remember when we first met?"

I looked stunned for a second and nodded. "My first field case I saw snow. You showed me how to make snowballs...and we used them to distract the rouge mafia spies...." I said yearning for those happy days.

"And when did we first become closer?" He continued glaring at me slightly trying to hide his other emotions.

"At our two year anniversary for being partners..." I said and looked right at him. "After I found out about your family...."

He glared and held the gun up at me and suddenly I snapped. "Nathan...Nate, I loved you...we were about to be married...what happened?" I whispered and he cleared his throat shifting his weight to his other foot. "You never loved me." He spat and hit me with the nose of the gun.

Hours had passed and my vision had grown blotched and hazy. "You never loved me Kathrine! I wanted you to come with me!" He exclaimed, the memories flooding it.

He wanted to leave the building when we first got in. 'Forget the mission' he said, but I couldn't live with that. I couldn't bare think of all the lives that could be lost and just the thought that the mission....my mission would become a failure.

I wanted to scream at him the words of hatred I had bottled up deep inside my soul, but that wasn't the right move. I needed him to trust me again.

I cleared my throat and slowly shook my head, letting the tears of pain loose onto my cheeks caked with dirt and dry blood. Just the thought of blood made me realize how much I had already lost. It was like chess, and it was my turn. The only problem was I had to make a brutal sacrifice, one that I could only just afford.

"Nathan." I whispered and he looked at me skeptically and inched closer. Closing my eyes I thought about a song, our song. The song we first danced to...kissed to...this song was everything to us. But it meant nothing to me anymore. "We'll do it all...Everything...On our own." I softly sang feeling a pang of sadness remembering those days I had cried over Nathan and now I was trying to concentrate on making Nathan hurt more than I had been these six years. "We don't need... Anything.... Or anyone. If I lay here, if I just lay here. Would you lay with me and just forget the wor-oomph!"

I was suddenly cut off by rough lips crashing onto my chapped ones. Lips so familiar and once something I craved. Cringing slightly I pulled back and shook my head looking at a slightly teary eyed Nathan. "Nathan...you were wrong. It wasn't me that didn't love you. You never loved me." I said and he shook his head quickly. "No no no...Katie, you have no clue how much I love you." He said and I looked straight at him. "Prove it." I challenged and as he leaned closer I closed my eyes, holding back tears as I let Nathan kiss me again. I didn't know why we did what we did today. All I knew was that I had gained leverage and was one step closer to checkmate.
