Coup De Grâce

Final Round: D.O.A

   Previously

"So it ends like this?" said Talon. Mystique placed the gun down and slid it over to Talon. He seen the tears beginning to roll down her cheeks.

Last round. Still 1 bullet loaded.
 
"Wait!" Mystique begged.

Talon shook his head with a grin.

"I really love tribal art." He said.

*POW!*

The gun fired.

NARRATOR

"Mystique? Mystique!" Jace called out Mystique name, begging to get an answer from her. The guard that was watching them, his body was bleeding out on the floor waiting to be cleaned up. Jace had managed to take control against Talon before the bullet was fired at Mystique. He shot the guard instead but the guard fired at Mystique before he died. As soon as the guard shot at Mystique, Jace jumped out the chair trying to catch her from falling hard onto the floor. 

Jace held Mystique in his arms as he called her name anxiously waiting for a response.

"Mystique?" He pleaded for a response.

She finally shook her head, stirring to gain consciousness and her eyes slowly flickered opened.

"Thank goodness! Hey listen, we have to go now. I know a way out but we have to leave now before Jordan gets to us." He said in a hurry.

The bullet had only grazed her but her body went into shock when she fell over.

"Okay, Okay. Im okay, lets go." Mystique responded still trying to regain herself.

"Are you sure??" Jace asked concerned.

"Yes, let's go. I'll be even better once we get out of here." She said.

Jace helped Mystique up and they began their dangerous escape.

"I have to warn you, I'm sorry for whatever happens when Talon takes control again. I can only take control when he's vulnerable but it does not last long." Jace warned her looking directly in her eyes showing his anxiety.

"We better hurry then. Tell me where to go."

Jace nodded and lead the way down the halls.

Jordan

   "What is taking Damien so long!? He should be back already." I walked to the room where Talon, Mystique, and Damien are. I noticed the cell door was cracked open and the room was silent. I opened the door and took a step in.

"Please don't tell me that's what I think it is." I rolled my eyes because I looked down and seen that I was stepping in a pool of fresh blood. Then I opened the door completely, only to find the wrong person dead.

"Damien, you had one job." I said shaking my head. I walked back out because Damien was laid out with a hole in his head and his gun next to him. He was one of my top shelf agents. I'm starting to lose agents left and right which means I have to start  my younger ones a little early for missions. Time to do things the hard way. I marched backed to my office so I could initiate a lockdown to the entire building. If Mystique manages to escape and my plan fails, I'll always have a back up plan that will creep up on them when they least expect it. I smiled and made my way to my office.

Jace

"Turn here. Jordan is going to lock the building down once he realizes we're gone. This is the only way to escape even when the whole building is on lockdown. Let's try to hurry up before they start searching the halls." I said.
