Whumptober no. 3: A Hair's Breadth from Death - Gun to Temple

Nigel's been in this predicament before. This lady is a psycho.

This was getting kind of old, Nigel thought as he raised his hands to show that he wasn’t up to any tricks. The steel of the gun was cold as it pressed against his temple. That wasn’t a thought he would’ve had a few years ago, when his life was all about books and writing. Still, he didn’t relish the thought of being shot.

“Give it to me,” Caroline said, “or I shoot.”

He looked at Sydney who stood just a few feet in front of them. She had her own hands raised slightly as she tried convey surrender. She didn’t move her eyes from Caroline.

“We don’t have it,” Sydney said.

“What do you mean you don’t have it? You’re lying!”

“No, no we really don’t,” Nigel said, his voice rising in terror. She looked at him and pressed the gun harder to his temple, forcing him to tilt his head. He could feel his pulse racing. Despite the numerous time he’d now had a gun to his head, it still frightened him. He looked at Sydney, desperately hoping she would get him out of this and watched as she took a miniscule step towards him.

“There was a man you would’ve passed on the way out,” Sydney answered. “He has it.” They had met rival relic hunter Tristan once or twice, on the hunt, and he had ended up following them into the cave where he had demanded the medallion of Sir Gaheris of Arthur’s Round Table, also by gunpoint. He had at least left them alive, just wanting the relic and not caring to have blood on his hands unless necessary.

“I’m not playing games here,” Caroline snarled. “Give it to me or I’ll shoot. And maybe I’ll aim this gun somewhere like… hmm,” a smile slowly spread across her face as she looked Nigel over. “Maybe at his stomach, I hear it can take a few minutes to bleed out without medical attention. Sounds awful.” She kept the gun level at his temple though.

“I’m sure there’s no need for that,” Nigel said, his words rushed. Sydney had taken another step forwards while Caroline looked him over.

“You killed Carlson,” Sydney realized. Caroline turned her attention back to Sydney but luckily didn’t notice how much closer she was. Nigel felt a shiver go through him. Many people had threated to kill him during his time with Sydney, but often they were first time potential murderers who were caught up in the moment with greed. Carlson had died an ugly death, his face smashed into his desk multiple times. There had been blood everywhere. He and Sydney had agreed that whoever had done that had been very angry and someone to tread carefully around once they caught up to them.

“He deserved it.”

“And the others?” Sydney asked.

This hunt had been a bloody one, a trail of bodies leading the way to the lost medallion. He and Sydney had been one step behind the killer, finding their clues by rubbing impressions on notepads, looking at browser histories, and through books left open on desks; the screens and pages often splattered with blood. After years of relic hunting, Nigel had never seen as much blood as he had on this hunt; it was enough to turn anyone’s stomach.

“Well, once I had what I needed from them, they weren’t any use to me anymore.”

Nigel gulped. Now that they were in the actual location of where the medallion should be, he and Sydney wouldn’t be any use to her either – all Caroline had to do was track down Tristan. Sydney looked worried and that made him more afraid than anything. She was always so confident that they had options. He could feel sweat as it gathered at his temples.

“You know what,” Caroline said contemplatively, “if what you say is true and you really don’t have it, then I suppose you’re no use to me after all. And I can always just search your bodies before I go after him – he can’t have gone far. Anyway,” she smiled and turned her attention to Nigel, “places to be, you understand. I think making you suffer might be fun still,” and she lowered the gun from his temple, presumably to shoot him in the stomach.

Sydney had taken advantage of Caroline’s inattention to her, leapt forward the last couple of steps, and kicked the gun from her hand; the sound of the gunshot echoed in the cave, and thankfully the bullet didn’t hit either Sydney or Nigel. Nigel dove towards the fallen gun as Sydney fought with Caroline, who fought with aggression and anger. Sydney on the other hand seemed cool as a cucumber, her moves thought out as she matched Caroline punch for punch and kick for kick. Nigel grabbed the gun, but didn’t aim it at the duo, always cautious about the possibility of hitting Sydney when he held one. He needn’t have worried though – Sydney hit Caroline with a kick to the chest, and she fell back and didn’t get up again.

Sydney straightened from her fighting stance and looked at Nigel. “You okay?”

“Yeah,” he replied. He ran a hand through his hair. “That was rather close though.”

She clapped him on the shoulder. “Let’s go get that medallion.”

The physical exhaustion made sense, after all, he'd been stuck in a small room for the better part of two weeks with only one meal a day, but, in all honesty, the mental exhaustion was a lot worse.

They’d told him that Sydney had died.

Whumptober no. 28: It's Just the Tip of the Iceberg - Anger Born of Worry & Punching the Wall.

Nigel is worried about Sydney.

Nigel turned to the wall and put his fist right through it. “That’s not good enough!” he yelled in frustration.

Karen jumped and gasped. As soon as he realized what he’d done, he regretted it. Still, he was so angry. Sydney was fighting for her life in surgery after being struck by a bullet.

Derek had asked Sydney to find a relic for him in a race against the Gural Nataz. The CIA had an interest in one of the members and had been hoping that Sydney could bring them to a point where they would be able to grab their target and then use him for further information in a collaboration with Interpol.

“I know this is frustrating, Nigel, but Sydney’s going to be fine,” Karen said. “She’s strong.”

“I know that.” He crossed his arms before using his left hand to push up his glasses and pinch the bridge of his nose. “It’s just, she’s in there fighting for her life, and there’s nothing I can do. Nothing!” He paced the waiting room. “What am I supposed to do?”

“We wait, Nigel.” Karen moved to him and placed a hand on his arm, stopping his pacing.

They waited.

"I moved to England’s Sussex coast between lockdowns to be closer to family. My mom’s side of the family was always by the sea, and I guess I’ve inherited that gene. These cold water swims are a recent thing, though. I like outdoor activities that’re bracing and stimulating: Being against, and leaning into, the elements has always been quite rewarding and meditative. It gives your mind and body the same experience at the same time, which feels like a reset, if just for a few minutes. The only other things that do that are exercise or sex. Or acting, depending on the performer. So much of enjoying a cold water swim is in the preparation, much like being an actor and approaching a job. The exhilaration is in the thought of it, that sense of invigoration and resuscitation. You take the job, you decide to go for the swim and then the reality of it is always slightly daunting and terrifying. You gain confidence in knowing you’re going to enjoy it as it becomes routine, but there’s always a part of you that knows your breath’ll be taken away. You can enjoy the swim, but when you come out, you’re completely exposed. You need to get yourself the hot tea, the dry robe. To me, it feels like the more work you do, and the more exposed you are, the more you need things around to insulate you. Especially with something like my role on “Bridgerton,” which is quite complicated — it brings such joy to so many people, but the actual personal experience is quite challenging. If you’re exposed to 82 million people within 24 hours, you can hide away all you want, but it’s not easy. When you get out of cold water, you have this blissful moment where you feel like the wind doesn’t hit you. But they say that’s the danger moment, because you only have about 30 seconds to a minute before you start getting prickly sensations. It’s like your body tricks you into thinking you’re OK so you can run back somewhere warm. That’s what happens when you finish a job: You go to the wrap party thinking everything’s amazing, but then you’re like, “Hang on a minute. Where even am I? I haven’t done my own hair in months.” You don’t start from scratch, but you have to reconnect. This past year, I’ve had to look after myself and prioritize things differently. I’ve usually had way more time to be able to be there for friends and family and live with slightly more abandon. I look forward to whatever’s next, though. I wonder how many sea swims I’ll have to do to get to that point."
