HAT: I just got finished watching Red 2 and I wondered what was going on in his head so, here it is! Short, sweetm and to the point.
Disclaimer: I own nothing, but the plot.
"Eleven million people are gonna die if you don't help me," Moses informs before throwing the gun to his enemy.
Han immediately points the gun towards the one that betrayed him so long ago. He hesitates and at first he doesn't know why, but then he thinks about it. Eleven million is a large number and to apply that to people is very large. Sure, he's killed plenty of people, men and women, so it's no big deal, but children, he hasn't killed a child. He was never in that business, he could never be. He mentally shakes his head and focuses on the man in front of him.
He's the cause of Han losing everything that mattered to him. He was engaged to a beautiful woman that he met when she was shopping, buying herbs for her next dish. At first he thought she knew nothing of his dangerous world, but after merely a few weeks assassins came. At first he thought it was for himself, being in the risky business he was in, and did everything he could to protect her when she came in firing guns like a pro. He didn't know he could fall more in love with her, but he did.
Then Frank Moses happened and she broke it off with him and he truly became alone due to losing her. He was made a pariah.
Eleven million people... that includes men, women, and children.
Children who don't know the evils of the world, that play the day away without any worries to burden their minds. Children that don't deserve to die. Babies that haven't even taken their first steps, said their first words. Newborns that bring mothers and fathers joy. If he had a chance of preventing that and they died, how could he live with himself? He would never be able to shed the guilt with all of this weighing on his mind. 20 million dollars for killing one man and cause those deaths or save their lives and keep those children from dying unnecessary deaths? He had a younger brother who was merely 12 when he died. He doesn't want anyone to feel that pain.
He betrayed you! Screams a part of him.
11 million people! Shouts another part of him.
With a shout he brings the gun down before lifting his gaze. Frank's eyes holds a sort of triumph and respect.
HAT: That's a wrap!
Han: Review... or I'll kill y- *hit over head by HAT*
HAT: No killing readers!
HAT: *rubs head* Fine...
