Secret Service

by Tal Bauer

I’m juggling lit matches that he’s passing to me over a tank of rocket fuel.

Either Brennan is alive or he isn’t. If he is, nothing will stop me from saving him. If he isn’t, nothing will stop me from avenging him.

“Spend forever with me, Reese. Will you marry me?”

What happened in that tiny room is a nightmare that lives between Sheridan and me.

Those black moments I glimpse are holes he’s punched in his soul. Deaths he’s dealt. Horror he’s seen.
