I knew it was too easy, nothing is ever this easy... my mother told me that, if they could see me now, letting my feelings cloud my judgement, it could be anywhere in this entire building, anything from a small bang to a jolt that rocks the foundations and kills 100's, ironic really this being the 'Dont Panic' Tour because right now, despite my years and years of training, my brain is mush, my heart rate is elevated im panicking.
He has no idea, they have no idea, just stood there on the stage singing to the crowd like its just another day, like in one split second everything wont explode...
If only they knew the truth, if only they knew from the minute I stepped into there lives everything was destined to explode, would they change anything?
I started to run, discarding the merch stand as fast as I could, I had to take off the suit too, me stood in 100's of kids in only my skin tight body suit with my badge and gun tucked into the side pouch, I ran right to the barrier and shimmied my way over, unnoticed, I let my eyes scan over the crowd.
There he is, this is all my fault, it was never about them, always me, the son of the man my father killed standing right in the centre, his gaze caught mine, his finger on a remote trigger, then he counted down mouthing to me.
