Stanton saw her fingers dip into her purse.
“Don’t, Heidi. Please.”
“Goodbye, Jon.”
A syringe full of golden fluid flashed out of her purse. The needle was aimed at Stanton’s neck. He grabbed her wrist and pushed it back. She pulled with both hands on the syringe. He tried to stand for better leverage but tripped, and took her down with him.
They hit the floor hard, staring into each other’s eyes. Heidi was on top of him and he felt her warmth, smelled her hair. A rush of all the feelings he had spent a year burying came back to him. Flooding him like adrenaline.
Her mouth was open. He pushed her off, rolling her to the side. The syringe was sticking out of her chest. The needle was completely buried in her flesh. The plunger had been depressed, the fluid pushed into her bloodstream. He didn’t know if that had been an accident or not but hoped it was. He pulled it out.
“I’m sorry,” he whispered.
She grinned. “Me too.”
He held her in his arms a few moments, before the light dimmed in her eyes and she was gone. Stanton rose. The uniformed officers outside came in with guns drawn. Jones was with them. He marched up, his gun pointed at the body.
“I thought she’d surrender,” Jones said.
He shook his head. “No.”
Stanton walked out of the airport and into the warm morning air. He didn’t look back.
