Assignment 4 - 12 Monkeys (Full Circle)

The metal detector furiously rings as Cole shoves his way through security. Peters and the fate of a nation are in sight moments ahead of him. This is his last chance to make things right. Railly grabs her sweater and swats at the officers trying to thwart off their attempts to capture Cole. Chaos breaks out. Pushing a man down, Peters begins to run through the terminal. Cole bares his pistol trying to take aim as his glued on mustache begins to leave his left cheek. “Watch it,” Peters gasps to a young child in the crowd as he sprints past. People are dashing in and out between Cole and Peters. Cole does not have a chance to shoot him. “Nooooo!” Railly cries. Cole peers backward, his aim wavering. Two policemen now draw their weapons. One fires. Cole’s chest explodes. He drops to his knees swaying for a moment. His legs give way and he tumbles to the ground. Railly bawls as she runs frantically towards Cole with her hand extended towards him. Railly kneels down. Blood bubbles through her pale hands as she tries to stop the incessant bleeding, Cole’s hand grasping hers. Peters escapes in the distance. There is nothing anyone can do now. The police surround the dying man still wielding their weapons. Cole’s hand gently brushes Railly’s cheek. She clasps onto him. Railly uncovers Cole’s face from under his sunglasses as Cole mutters his dying breath. His hand goes limp and floats towards the floor. Railly reaches down and presses his cold hand to her cheek once more. She looks up. Slowly searching the crowd, she sees a young boy. His are eyes swollen with tears. Closure comes to her in knowing the boy was actually Cole. He was right. He was there all of those years ago. Closure sweeps over her as police pull her up from the ground.
