[quote][b]Asmodeus (Sep 03, 2001 05:16 p.m.):[/b] The journey back through the compound from the visiting area was silent. He realized dimly that the guard was taking him back to his cell and not the conference room, but he really didn't care enough to even attempt to question her. Her pistol stayed holstered and she kept her distance, and that allowed Mode to forget she existed as he marched woodenly where she directed him. [i]She tried to kill herself. She cut her own wrists.[/i] Robert Quistin loved his daughter, and hated him. Mode knew what Kat must have gone through when he left; he didn't even know if she knew what had happened to him. Quistin had seen her upset, and he'd come here to get revenge. That was straightforward enough. There was no reason for Quistin to limit himself to the truth. Mode was effectively caged; there was nothing he could do to ascertain the truth or falsity of Quistin's statements - at least, not that Quistin would know about. The man was lying. He had to be. Katera would never do that. [i]Hands clenched, her long sharp nails dug into the palms of her hands, thin rivulets of blood meandering slowly along her skin...[/i] The door to his cell slid shut, the lock engaged, and Mode stood in the center of the little room and began to tremble. Maybe she could have. Maybe she would have, if she thought he was dead. Katera was far too full of life to consider it under any other circumstance. What would [i]he[/i] have done, if he thought she was dead? He would have continued, as all organisms continue, but he would have wished to join her. He wouldn't have done it himself. His survival instinct was far too strong for him to contemplate what Angel had so carefully considered. Even Angel had been forced to seek outside assistance. Katera was strong. Was that courage, to be willing to face existence without purpose? Or was it cowardice, to be unwilling to follow love where it would lead? It didn't matter. It didn't, goddamnit, they were both alive and someday they would be free. Someday they would be together, and nothing would ever tear them apart again, not even death. Even then, he would find a way to follow her. He would find a way to drag her back, or he would go with her, but they would never be separated for long. What mattered now was finding a way to contact her. He had to know that she knew he was alive and waiting for her. Then she would be safe from herself. Mode knew her too well to think she was in serious danger from anyone else. Wick didn't care about Katera. Neither did the twins, if they lived, which he doubted. All he needed was to tell her he was alive, and that he wanted her, and she would be alright. Wouldn't she? This logical path of thought was not reflected in his demeanor, and it took him several minutes to collect himself sufficiently to sit down. He would have to talk to the computerist again, and that would be more difficult, now that von Starnburg was no longer an issue, but he would do what he had to. Katera would know. It was all he could do.[/quote]
