 Choices then too we must make them everyday even myself as a agent to the sevice I often make life and death choices,and now as Dylan had sent
me on another mission I would make the hardest choice of all,to kill .

I've killed before then  but then too  not to one so young and still had life ahead of them. He was nine he had just lost both parents in a street gang war and was seeking revenge now he was inside a bank holding hostages and one woman with a gun .
 

I went then too in thinking I could talk him out of it,he wouldn't listen,he fired and in an instant reflex on my part I reached for my gun and fired,aiming for
his gunhand I miss then  calculated . I then shot up just above the neck and he fell backwards,I did my job I rescued everyone . I was a hero .But I then to didn't feel ;like one,for weeks after I had nightmares,unrelenting nightmares about killing a boy, a boy ,nine years old even .
 

I hope then no one else had to make that kind of choice like I did ,pray you never do . end .
