Chapter Sixteen � �Donnelly�s Death�

Luke and Robert walked though the halls of the Pentagon unnoticed. It was four
in the morning and they were about to cross a line that they could never go back
over. They walked into Shawn�s inner office and were surprised to find Laura and
Anna sitting, talking to Shawn. The ladies jumped to their feet and greeted
their husbands.

�Luke, where is Lucky? He's out side right? I�ll go get him,� Laura said and
headed toward the door. He grabbed her and pulled her close. �Laura. Lucky is
with Michael and I�m not coming back to you.� he said and pulled off his ring
and then he pulled a gun.

Anna was going to knock it away but Robert stopped her. Holding her. Robert
handed her his ring and held a gun right at Shawn. �Don�t move, Shawn.� Robert
said quietly.

�Anna, go sit down. You too Laura.� Luke ordered, moving her from his arms.

�I wondered what Death wanted. What did he say? Kill me or die.� Shawn asked.

�No. Kill you and live. If not we're dead and our sons will take our places. I
can�t live with that fact. Somehow, they will come home, but we're not.� Robert
said.

�Luke, you can�t do this.� Laura pleaded, gripping his ring to her heart.

�Angel, I will sell my soul for Lucky and that is what I am doing.� he said.

Shawn leaned back in his chair and watched Robert tie up Anna and Laura. Then he
joined Luke by the door. �Robert give me five minutes before you kill me,� he
asked.

Shawn finished and Robert looked at him coldly and shot him. �Sorry, Shawn.� he
said and before leaving. They both kissed their wives good bye. They headed out
the back of the building and into the waiting car. Michael was sitting in the
back seat.

�Did you kill him?� he asked.

�I shot him.� Robert said. �And our wives were there. We just said good bye
forever.�

Luke looked at Michael and said. �Your turn, father.� holding up his arm.

�I did agree.� and he removed their bracelets. Luke leaned back and felt like a
heel. He couldn�t get the thought of what Tiff was going to do to them. �Maybe
getting killed wasn�t to bad after all.�
