Back to Basics

Camille planted herself on the nearest sofa and sighed. "It seems like it has been ages since we have been back here. But it's actually been a day," she said tiredly.

"Has it really? It does seem longer then that." I sat down.

Camille grimcad slightly and clutched at her stomach, keeping her eyes closed. "Long day. But I'm glad we are back."

"Are you okay? Wait, that's a stupid question. You're in pain."

Camille nodded, holding her stomach. "It's okay. I'm okay." She opened her eyes. "I'm just happy to know that that guy isn't around to try and kill you."

"I don't think you're okay. You're in pain. And I'm sure he will be back to try and kill me. I don't think he will give up." I looked out the window. I don't remember that plane incident. Though I think I will remember soon. It seems my past is is coming back to haunt me.

Camille watched him sadly. "He just can't kill you for something you don't remember doing. It isn't right."

I look at Camille. "But it's the fact that I did it. To him it doesn't matter if I remember or not. I still did it and nothing will change that."

"I know, but it isn't right. I guess it wouldn't change his mind if he saw how different you are," she said hopelessly.

I walk out. "You're right. It doesn't matter. The guilty must be punished." I cock my gun. "She's safe now. Time to own up."

"You want to kill me right in front of Camille? Do you want to traumatize her?"

Camille shook her head. "I'm not going anywhere. I won't let you kill him," she said firmly.

"He made a deal. For you. Don't make it in vain."

"Camille, he isn't going to give up and I don't want to see you get hurt again. It's my fault you got hurt in the first place. I'm sorry."
