He's already heard that they cannot use Cara, that instead of her, Tyler is the one. And there can be only one.

When he hears that Cara is requested to have an audience with Anna and that she wants him there too, he is slightly panicked.

He knows he isn't allowed to show human emotion and that's why he tries his hardest to control those feelings when he is around Anna.

Her requesting an audience with Cara cannot be good.

But they still go to her.

"Ah, good, there you are," Anna says with a smug smile.

Leoni is surprised, he would have thought that Lisa would be there too.

Probably on the ground with Tyler, he thought.

The Leoni/Lisa/Tyler dynamic has not formed yet, it's still Leoni/Lisa and Lisa/Tyler divided.

Anna takes Cara's hands in hers.

"My sincerest apologies, Cara, but we cannot use you. There was thought that there could be two, Tyler Evans and you, but alas, there can be only one." she says in her straight face that she can muster, devoid of any emotion.

Cara nods. "But I can still be with Leoni, right? I love him."

Hearing that, Leoni softly smiles.

Anna's eyes dart in his direction and take in the last trace of that smile before he wipes it off, returning it to his straight face.

"No." the leader of the Visitors says as her tail appears and she starts to slash it against Cara's face.

She screams in pain as she keeps hitting her, not just her face but her body now as well.

Leoni knows to ask the Queen Bee of the Visitors to stop is to display human emotion, but he doesn't yell out for her to stop.

When Cara is nothing but a bloody pulp on the ground, other Visitors come to dispose of her. 

Anna turns to Leoni, her expression still the same.

"I thought you would have shown human emotion for killing your human woman, since you claimed to love her so much... and from what I have heard from my daughter about your feelings for Cara," Anna says, deliberately avoiding anything about his feelings for her daughter.

"I never loved her, it was fun to pretend. To know what it felt like with a human woman." he says, when inside he wants to break down and cry in front of Anna, show the weakness. 

But if he does that, he will surely be skinned alive.

Maybe even right in front of Lisa. Maybe even while she is in Tyler's arms.

Then Anna is in front of him and she gives him a hug. 

"You did excellent work, even if she wasn't able to help the Visitors in any way."

Don't want your hugs, he thought when he really wanted to push her away from him.

He couldn't even get the words out of his mouth. "Thank... you, Anna."

She lets him go and thus the meeting is over. 

He walks back to his bedroom, where he pulls off that voyeuristic jacket of his uniform and hides it under his bed, and fumes as he goes the wall of the Mothership.

His hands form into a claw and he writes Anna's name and then crosses it out, his claw leaving marks on the wall, as tears fall.

He's going to be the one who kills her.

All the while the memories of his time with Cara flash by, the first meeting when the V shuttle had brought her up the Mothership among the group where Tyler was among them, the way she had dressed so provocatively that he had protected her against a throng of people with malicious intentions by holding her in a protective bubble nobody could penetrate, the first time of seeing part of her flesh when in her bedroom and her mother who hates the Visitors found him half-naked, only wearing briefs in her little angel's bedroom, to the very first time they had made love.  

Of all the things I've believed in I just want to get it over with
Tears form behind my eyes but I do not cry
Counting the days that pass me by

I've been searching deep down in my soul
Words that I'm hearing are starting to get old
Feels like I'm starting all over again
The last three years were just pretend
And I said

Goodbye to you
Goodbye to everything I thought I knew
You were the one I loved
The one thing that I tried to hold on to

I Used to get lost in your eyes and it seems 
that I can't live a day without you
Closing my eyes and you chase my thoughts away
To a place where I am blinded by the light but it's not right

Goodbye to you
Goodbye to everything I thought I knew
You were the one I loved
The one thing that I tried to hold on to
Ooh

And it hurts to want everything and nothing at the same time
I want what's yours and I want what's mine
I want you but I'm not giving in this time

Goodbye to you
Goodbye to everything I thought I knew
You were the one I loved
The one thing that I tried to hold on to

Goodbye to you
(Goodbye to you)
Goodbye to everything I thought I knew
(Goodbye to you)
You were the one I loved
The one thing that I tried to hold on to
(The one thing that I tried to hold on to)
The one thing that I tried to hold on to
(The one thing that I tried to hold on to)
Oh whoa
The one thing that I tried to hold on to

And when the stars fall I will lie awake
You're my shooting star 

Unleashing all the emotion in a heartwrenching cry of anger.

Yes, he's going to kill her, but not before he strengthens the bond with Lisa and her lover Tyler...

The End.
