37A/N: Oh my gosh! I NEVER expected to get such a turn out in reviews! I'm so SORRY for not updating quicker. I've had a very interesting and weird month, so I've kind of been preoccupied with school and my crazy family, so I have a legit excuse. I've also had a hard time thinking up how I was going to write this next chapter.
Dedication: To all those who reviewed, Thank you!
I hope that it's alright! Please enjoy.
Love Remains the Same
Chapter 2: The Reason
The words that Peabody had just spoken no more than an hour ago ran through my mind over and over again. I was sitting on train to Washington D.C. Our conversation hadn't lasted after his telling me it was about Mike.
Flashback:
When Peabody had said Mike's name, my brain completely shut down. I frozen in a ridged position near the front door of the hotel room, thoughts of what Peabody could want to talk with me about Mike for.
To tell the truth I was in shock. I had a rush of emotions surge threw me like a wild fire. Emotions ranging from the fear that I had of having to see Mikes body, to the glimmer of hope, that I everything that happened on the ship was a nightmare and that mike would be waiting for me on in Washington.
I flipped the phone closed and made my way out of the hotel, on the way to the train station.
"This was going to be a long night."Was the only thing that I thought when I entered the very busy and crowded station.
End of Flashback:
I knew that I shouldn't harp on Mike's death, but sitting in the lonely, empty train car I couldn't help but think of it. In an attempt to clear my head I placed my headphones in my ears and turned on my iPod. I put it on shuffle when I realized that I was never going to get any rest on this ride. The song: The Reason by Hoobastank came on. I laid my head back against the seat and listened to the soft lyrics.
I'm not a perfect person
There's many things I wish I didn't do
But I continue learning
I never meant to do those things to you
And so I have to say before I go
That I just want you to know
I never ever wanted to use Mike. Yes, I might not be the best or perfect person in the world, but after being with Mike, I realized that when you care for a person you learn that you do have a conscience. Learning that has made all the difference in my 'new' life.
I've found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
and the reason is you
I'm sorry that I hurt you
It's something I must live with everyday
And all the pain I put you through
I wish that I could take it all away
And be the one who catches all your tears
That's why i need you to hear
Hurting people is what I do for a living, it's not generally something people like to do, but you get accustom to it after a while. Mike was a completely different scenario.
I've found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
and the reason is You[x3]
and the reason is You
I'm not a perfect person
I never meant to do those things to you
And so I have to say before I go
That I just want you to know
I wish that my life had just been simpler. I wish that I had never been a spy, or a killer. If I had grown up the way I should have, with my real parents, then maybe things would be different. Mike would be alive and probably married to someone who deserved him, and God only knows where I would be.
I've found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
and the reason is you
I've found a reason to show
A side of me you didn't know
A reason for all that I do
And the reason is you
Mike is the reason, for me not completing my mission. For betraying my country, killing the people that I grew up with and called my family. For doing everything that I was told never to do, especially falling in love. For becoming the person I am right now. "He was my reason."
I felt a hand on my shoulder, and looked up, realizing that I was half asleep until then. An attendant was right by me.
"Excuse me, Miss. The train has come to your stop." She said with a small smile.
I half smiled back at her and said thank you. I stood, grabbed my bag and walked to the doors. I nodded at the attendant when she said goodbye.
The platform was empty, except for one man standing over in the corner in a black coat and suit. Peabody.
I swiftly made my way over to him, and when I got there I stood with a deadpan expression on my face. While he on the other hand, had a smirk on his face and a glint of happiness in his eyes. "Well good for you." I thought bitterly
"Nice to see you again Salt. I'm hoping that we can speak on better circumstances than that of which we had to deal with the last time you were in D.C." He spoke as he led me through the large gates of the station.
"Cut the crap Peabody. What does this have to do with Mike?" I asked impatiently as we walked outside to his black suburban .
"You always have been a cut to the chase type person." He said smiling slightly as he opened the back of his car to reveal two heavily armed men, in the backseats.
I cocked my head to the side slightly, raising my eyebrow.
"Salt, we have a very big problem that we need your help with."
"And this problem would be?" I asked probing, trying to see what it is that he was hiding.
Sighing he said, "Michael Krause's body was never recovered from the ship you were on. The one on which you killed Orlov, and all his men."
Stiffening, I stared right at Peabody in shock. What is he getting at?
"Evelyn... were going to Russia."
A/N: Sorry for another cliff hanger, but I've decided that I really like them.
Everything will be explained in the next chapter, hopefully!
Thank you for reading, Now please Review!
