"Mike, Mike, are you all right?"
"Well I was trying to knock out a guard and take off with you."
"No problemo. Let's go. I already took out a guard and got his gun, security pass and keys."
We sprinted on out....
"You have a plan?" asked Miranda.
"Let's get out of here first."
On a hunch, I climbed the stairs to the roof and found a chopper on it, and no guard. This was great. I sprinted over to the chopper, closely followed by Miranda. I climbed in and pulled her in beside me.
"What happened to DP?"
"He must have gone for Q." said Miranda.
As we lifted off, cleared the security fence and took off full speed into the sunset, Miranda asked me, "Whats your plan?"
'It's now or never.' I thought.
"Simple, we are eloping and getting married. Sorry I cant go down on one knee to propose to you, but I got a chopper to fly."
"What?"
"Well sweetheart. I love you. And finding you has been the only good thing that's happened to me in the last couple of days. If you still love me, if you still are the same old Miranda, I'd like to marry you and take you away from all this. Sounds corny I know but just look at this mess! Now there's even a faction of the KGB involved in this. I'd just go mad. If you still want to be a part of this, fine. I'll drop you off back at the UF HQ and take off back to my old job as a network sysadmin, and lock myself into the server room. Never again, I quote am I going to get involved in bladerdash like this. I unquote. If you think you'll be happy to spend the rest of your life with me, I'd be the happiest guy. Either way, I am outa this. Finis."
Miranda looked at me with those lovely big, beautiful eyes. "_______________________________"
