ECHO DEATHSCENE
SFG stelthily crept out of her sleeping place, looking sadly over at her night's target. Derekku was emerging from the other side of the room, where he slept to keep people from suspecting that he was with her.
"Tonight's the night we kill him, right?" He whispered. SFG nodded and silently drew a sword from hammerspace. This she passed to Derekku before pulling a small covered needle from inside her bra.
"Give me a couple moments with him first, I'll signal you when its time." She shuddered slightly. Derekku looked at her a bit suspiciously, but relented. SFG gently walked up to the man and, after removing the cover, slid the needle into his arm. She waited a minute for the paralytic to take effect and then placed her hand over his mouth and began patting the side of his face softly.
"Echo...wake up, I need to talk to you..."
Echo heard a feminine voice fading in and out like a radio. His body felt strangely stiff and heavy, and...it was night.... oh shit.... He opened his eyes and the blurry outline of SFG's face appeared in front of him. She was shaking him slightly, but stopped when she noticed his eyes open.
SFG? SFG was MAFIA? He looked around to find the other - Derekku - standing back with a drawn sword in his hand, completely ready to kill. Every nerve in his body was screaming to move, to call out and wake the others, to get away, but he couldn't move his body at all and her hand was over his mouth. Then she leaned in close to his ear and murmured to him.
"I'm sorry, dear friend, I really am. But I have to survive to keep Peppy and you're too smart - I was always afraid that you would catch me when I was talking to you because I couldn't bear to conceal it from you. And then when you turned out to be a cop?" A tear dripped from her face onto his cheek, startling him. She was crying?!? "Sleep well, Echo...I've made it as quick and painless as I can...your entire body is numb from poison so you won't feel it at all..." She gave a little signal to Derekku, who stepped forward and brandished the sword. This was the end....
"I will never forget you!" SFG whispered as the sword came down.
The sword pierced straight down through Echo's heart and he stiffened, his eyes staring up at her as the life poured out of them. SFG pulled out a tissue and blew her nose, weeping. Derekku grabbed the tissue from SFG and used it to clean the sword, then handed it back to her. She sniffled, then put it back in hammerspace and fell to silent weeping on Echo's corpse while Derekku snuck back. After some time, she took a final look at the dead, frightened eyes and returned, falling into a deep slumber.
