he was feeling while his face was a mix of pain and regret. It was written all over him.

With Henry killed, Jarvis’s rage leaked out of him as he snapped back into reality. He turned around and crouched down next to Andy. “Andy! I-I’m going to help you!” He declared.

Andy shook his head while smiling. “I-I-I-I… It’s t-too late.” He responded, taking several painful gasps of air. 

Jarvis shook his head. He had tears bubbling at the corner of his eyes. “It’s not too late, you’re going to be fine. I’ll save you then everything will go back to normal.”

Andy continued to smile. “J-Jarvis?”

Jarvis nodded, leaning in closer. 

“W-Want to know m-my answer? To w-why I helped y-you?” He muttered. Jarvis nodded as a tear ran down his cheek. “I-It’s because… I… I… I consider you my b-brother.”

“I’m your brother?” Jarvis repeated, his voice cracking. He didn’t make the effort to hide it this time. 

Andy nodded. “Y-You are… t-that why I h-helped you. B-Because we’re family.” Andy said, his face losing its color. He was nearing the end. 

Jarvis nodded his head, agreeing with Andy. “We are. W-We’re family.” He said, many tears streaming down his cheek.

Andy smiled a large smile. “T-Then I have o-only one regret. P-Please, tell m-my aunt about m-me.” He asked. “P-P-Please.”

Jarvis nodded, lowering his head. He was sobbing by this point. “Y-Yes… I will. I’ll m-make sure she knows about you. H-How kind and strong you are.”

Andy stared at Jarvis, still smiling. “T-Thank... You.” He croaked before his mouth stopped working. His eyes gained a glossy look as if he was a doll and not a living human. He was no longer living. His heart suffered significant damage and was far from being treatable. He was out of time. 

Jarvis looked up and recognized what happened. He looked away, still crying. “Why!” He shouted. “Why the hell him! Why my brother! Why is God screaming at me!” 

Tears and blood filled the park.

Henry’s final thoughts bounced around in his head as his body died off. His mind continued to work, but it would soon meet its creator. 

What did I do to deserve this life? I had everything. A beautiful wife and daughter, a good house, a lot of money… so why am I dying here? What will happen to Helen? Damn it! I should’ve listened to my wife’s final words. ‘Life a normal life with Helen, don’t leave her alone.’ What an idiot I am. I allowed my tunnel vision to get the best of me… to ruin me. I allowed it to give me regrets I can’t get rid of. I’m sorry Helen for everything. I left you alone in this cruel world because of my insecurities. I feared him and couldn’t stand up against him. I’m sorry Helen. I’m sorry Deb. Let me atone for my sins in hell. Where I belong.

He was dead instantly after. Filled with regrets and despair, a man who spent his entire life fighting to get his freedom to then be killed fighting for a man who stripped him of it. He lost everything while the man gained everything.

All because he made the decision to do it. Luck played no part in it.

“What do you mean I have a nephew?” A woman dressed in a pantsuit asked. “Where is he?”

“We conducted an investigation and it appears he’ll be arriving here soon.” A police officer responded.

The woman rose from her cubicle, appearing delighted. “Then I need to get home. I need to see my nephew. He’s the last remnant of my sister. He deserves to live his life peacefully… to live a normal life with his family.”
