UNTOUCHABLE - TIAOM

DAWN

There was a loud gasps around the Control Room.

"What happened here?" Commander In just got back from outside.

"It's Captain Kim, Commander," answered one personnel. "She jumped out of the vehicle to rescue Mr. Denman."

"What!"

"Pie!"

All their attention was caught by the scream of Pie's mom. She's fanning Pie with her hand while Jane adjusts her position as Pie is leaning on her.

"Medics! Mrs. Denman collapsed!" called Commander In. "Assist her immediately!"

The medics came in right away.

Commander In turned to the screen again, thinking that what Kim is doing is suicide.

---

Kim knows what she's doing is suicide. But if there's a chance that she can at least save Katrien's daddy, that would be enough for her. She'd be happy to know that she risked her life to save the guy. Katrien will not have to grow up fatherless.

And Pie will be happy too.

Yes, that's what's important.

Because even after all these years, she wishes nothing but the happiness of the woman -- even if it means taking her out of the picture, out of Pie's life completely.

Kim injected another booster in her body. She knows this isn't good as she might overdose. But she doesn't care. She used her remaining strength to run back into the village and attack the monsters that are already cornering the car.

She killed one.

Two.

Three.

But they are too many.

The car tried running over some Evens but they just stand up after that.

Kim attacked again. Killed one more. She looked around and realized that all the Evens are running towards them now. Kim knew that this is the perfect chance. She took out the bomb that Doctor Puey gave them. She detonated it and threw it on the ground.

Nothing happened.

One Even attacked her. She fell on the ground. The Even started webbing her foot.

Another Even tried to snatch her away from the first one. She was tossed into the air then hit the ground again. She felt pain all over her body.

She doesn't know what's happening anymore. Everything is starting to become blurry.

She took one last glance at the car and saw the window on the on the driver's side rolled down.

He's looking at her, his face apologetic. Then he mouthed, "Thank you."

Kim blinked her eyes. In her mind, she smiled. But she knows her face didn't show it.

Before everything went dark for Kim, she heard the bomb finally explode.

"So, you woke me up this early just so we could witness the dawn?"

"Mmm-mmm."

"After staying up all night making love, you woke me up this early so we could witness the dawn?"

Kim laughed. She hugged her girlfriend on the side and kissed Pie's temple. "Trust me. This is something you'd want to see. There is magic in it that people just always take for granted."

Pie scoffed jokingly. Kim just smiled at her, internally admiring Pie's beauty with that after-sex-hair. She kissed Pie's temple again.

"I love you."
