NO CLOSURE NO FORGIVENESS by Pawan Verma

taken away from you. Now beg for my pardon. Beg for
mercy. And I won’t grant you that.”
    Jessica
wanted to keep him engaged hoping to get an opening.
    “What are you
going to get by killing us? Look, you killed Irene and now you’re a fugitive
from law.”
    He laughed. “She
destroyed my whole life the moment I met her. But at least I can leave the
country with millions in cash.”
    “You kill a
cop and they’ll hunt you down from hell. With all your stolen millions.”
    “Killing a
cop? A rogue cop ?” There was a flash in Brenner’s eyes. Continuing to
point his gun at Jessica, he moved forward and picked up her gun from the
ground.
    “You giving
me ideas. I’ll kill Andrew with your gun and you with mine. A gun battle
between a rogue cop and her ex-boyfriend! How does it sound?” He jeered.
    “No, please
don’t—”
    “You want me
to kill you now or should I do Andrew first?”
    With a gun in
each hand, Brenner moved the guns back and forth between Jessica and Andrew,
who was now just beginning to return to consciousness. “Oh, he’s getting back.
Okay, the boyfriend goes first.”
    Brenner took
a step forward, aiming both the guns at Andrew’s head.
    And Detective
Jessica Galloway mustered all the courage she had and launched a hard kick to
the back of Brenner’s ankles. His legs flew up from underneath him and he fell
to the ground on his back, both his guns also falling to the ground around him.
Without hesitating, Jessica rolled to her left and delivered the hardest punch
she’d ever thrown right to his jaw. While Brenner’s hands were groping for the
guns, she hit him three more times in quick succession before flipping him onto
his stomach.
    Quickly, she
cuffed his hands behind his back. Ignoring his enraged screams, Jessica got up
from her feet and ran towards Andrew.
    “Andrew!” she
shouted.
    “I’m okay,”
he muttered through clenched teeth. Then he looked over at Brenner who was
still lying on the ground screaming. “Whoo, you really took him out didn’t
you?”
    Jessica
smiled, reached down, and helped Andrew to his feet. Then without thinking, she
leaned forward and kissed him long and hard on the lips. She removed the GPS
device from inside the hood of his coat, then used her cell phone to call for
backup.
    “So Andrew,
remember that night back at the hotel? I told you I’d save you, didn’t I?”
    “Liar!”
Andrew shouted in mock anger. “I’m the one who said I was going to be doing the
saving!”
    Surrounded by
a barbed wire fence, an empty warehouse, and the high-pitched sounds of
approaching sirens, Jessica and Andrew laughed softly and held hands.
