Adrien gasped a little and blanched.
"....what do you mean?" he asked in a horrified hush, voice cutting through the cold silence of Karnak's vacant halls.

Dan stared.
They were too late.
"I- No. No!"

Megan stared at Veidt's back for a long time in shock as she slowly pulled herself up against the chair.
This settled it.
She reached for the gun on her belt and turned off the safety.
"Mr. Veidt...?"

There was a short, deafening series of bangs that sent some of the smaller objects of antiquity Adrian displayed in the great hall falling and shattering on the ground. Adrian cried out, thrown back by the impact, and fell to the ground with his hand curled up over his chest.
And with that, he was still, save the thin trickle of blood from his mouth.

Adrien screamed and ran down the stairs to throw himself on the body, touching his face to turn it towards his own.
"Adrian Adrian oh please -"
Some part of his mind was still focusing on the disturbing fact that he didn't want to love this man this badly, but he'd thrown himself in for the ride without knowing what it would entail and he couldn't turn back now, howevermuch he wanted to. If Adrian died.... he was damned for this, but no matter what happened to those millions it paled in comparison to the possibility of losing Adrian now, on the floor of Karnak's Great Hall.
"What will I do, what will I do with you gone?" he pleaded in French, half babble, tears dripping onto his face.

Megan stared at Veidt's fallen body from her own collapsed position on the ramp, then looked at the gun in her hands and screamed.

Dan couldn't help but scream out when the shots were fired.

"Shit- oh, God, oh fuck, shit- "
Megan scrambled down the ramp, toward Veidt's body.
"I wasn't thinking-"

Adrien looked over his shoulder at her, pulling Adrian up into his arms a little bit, and screamed at her, "You cow, you awful whore, you killed him, you killed him!"

Dan grabbed Megan before she got too close, something wasn't right here.
He stared down at Adrian's body.

Megan wrenched herself out of Dan's arms, shouting desperately at Adrien.
"You said he was keeping you here-"
