"Stay
back," he repeated.
He
was bloody, soaked in it. But he wasn't concerned I'd run and embrace him. He
wasn't worried about the Infected's blood covering him. There was something
else on his mind.
In
a disturbing change of course, he stopped and stood up straight before
commanding in a steady tone, "Kennedy, take aim at me."
Take aim at me… His
words rolled through my head. I tried to grasp their meaning but I couldn't.
"What?"
I said, stepping forward.
"Stop!"
he shouted, forceful enough to make me obey.
"The
rifle," he said. "Aim the muzzle at me."
"What?"
"You
heard me. Do it."
My
eyes widened. I swallowed. "No…"
"Do
it!"
"NO!"
Suddenly,
he came at me, crossing the space between us so quickly I didn't have time to
take a breath. His fingers wrapped around the muzzle. Then it was lifting in my
arms, stopping where he placed it…with the opening at his forehead.
Every
fiber of my being contracted.
This
wasn't right. It opposed everything trained or innately bred within me. One of
the three rules in firearms was to never, ever point the muzzle at anything you
don't want to destroy. I wouldn't, I couldn't destroy him. Yet here he was,
positioning the weapon at his head.
"No,
Harrison!" I tried to pull away, astutely conscious that my finger was
clear of the trigger guard, but he and all his strength drew it back.
"Stop, damn it!"
The
fury in his eyes was what ended the struggle. A single glimpse of it told me
that he wasn't playing and wouldn't yield. He was lethally serious and he was
going to keep that muzzle on him whether it was by my hand or his own.
My
instinct was to release the gun, to let him have it. But I hesitated because I
wasn't entirely sure he wouldn't pull the trigger on himself. The question that
haunted me as we stared each other down along the length of the barrel was…why?
"What
are you doing, Harrison?"
His
lips pinched closed.
"Why
are you doing this?"
A
soft, quiet voice behind me answered for him. "He thinks he's
infected."
"Tell
him that he's not, Mei."
"He
won't believe me."
"You're
not infected, Harrison."
His
nostrils flared but he maintained his stance, never wavering in his stare or
removing his fingers from the barrel.
So
I began to plead. "Please, Harrison, let go."
He
heard me. His eyes twitched as he began to question himself.
"Let
go," I whispered, wanting more than ever before to breach the distance
rigidly in place between us. "Let go…"
His
stare faltered, the intensity of it lessening, but still he didn't move.
"It's been more than sixty seconds,"
Mei announced quietly, as if she didn't want to disturb our private war.
It
didn't happen instantly, but it did happen. His shoulders dropped, his fingers
lifted from the barrel, and his stare finally, finally broke from mine.
