Summary
ABANDONED
Ch.2 is what I had written already, and a summary of how the story would have ended.****
“Come to the future with me.”Dave freezes, rearing back to look Klaus in the eyes, searching for something and- whatever it is, he seems to find it.
“You’re serious.”
“I am.”
The silence is a yawning, gaping thing that Klaus balances on the edge of, trying to hold steady, waiting.
And finally, after minutes or seconds or years, between one heartbeat and the next, Dave smiles, and it’s like the sun bracketing the stars, blinding and beautiful and all-consuming.
“Yes,” Dave breathes emphatically. “Fuckin’ hell, darlin’, but I ain’t ever wanted t’do anythin’ more.”
***
Fifty years in the future, or nine, or maybe a whole goddamn lifetime, Five Hargreeves holds a directive from the Handler in trembling fingers, pressing a hand to his bloodied, aching side as he reads aloud:
”Kill David Katz.”
