Dear Eight, we're not alone anymore.
I've decided to let Luther help with my mission to save the world from total destruction. Is it mistake? Maybe...but do we have time, no. With Eight gone, our plans have been held back. And according to my personal knowledge, she won't be back anytime soon if I don't do something.
We're meeting Cha-Cha and Hazel to make a deal. The road ahead of us is surrounded by open sky's and gentle grass. And if I were with you maybe it would be beautiful. You've always had a way to make to see things different. Jeez.
Don't worry I'll see you soon
Seems we've arrived. I unbuckled myself and look towards Luther. "You know I've never enjoyed it-"
"What?"
"The killing." My facial expressions softened. It was true. I didn't enjoy taking people's lives. Being the reason they can't see 'tomorrow.' When I first started my job, I had mercy. But I guess after so many years, I just lost my humanity. "Being away from a world you know is not yours can do funny things to the mind..."
"Well, at least you weren't alone."
I didn't reply to this. Although I had Eight with me throughout those torturous years, I still felt alone. Don't get me wrong, Eight was literally a blessing. But sometimes she wouldn't be all smiles and hope. Strong people break too.
Eight spent some days hiding away from me. But I would always find her staring off into the sky that was consumed by emptiness. She looked lost. And at times I hope she didn't resent me for the day we left. I resent myself for that. "You think they'll buy it?"
"Well, what I do know...is that they are desperate. And if the commission ever finds out about their slip up. They'll be in some deep shit."
"Not to mention they'll be stuck here without it." I signaled to the empty case in the middle of Luther and I.
"I'll hold onto it, just in case they try to make a move on you." Thanks but Im pretty sure I could handle them. (Is what I would've said) but I'm trying this thing where I'm nice to the people I love. "Okay. But be careful. You're still young, you got your entire life ahead of you."
