DISCLAIMER: I do not own any of the characters. "The Magnificent Seven" belong to MGM and Trilogy Entertainment. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, I’d be a happy woman if Vin belonged to me.....but no such luck. I have not made any profit out of writing this, so please don’t sue me. It would not be worth your while.

AUTHOR NOTE:
1. This is a stand alone story. It has been written in response to the Vin Fan Fic and Discussion Group Dec 2008 Celebration Week "Finish the Story challenge which had a 1500 word limit.

2. I have no medical knowledge and know little about military and security organizations, so there are likely to be inaccuracies. I invite you to enjoy my story for what it is... a rumble about six hunks and one drop dead gorgeous, handsome, strong, cute guy - you pick which of the seven fits that description! (g)

3.This story is a fantasy! If you are looking for a realistic story that is based on facts, this is not it. I have made everything up.

4. I am not a professional writer - I'm just someone who loves the boys. My beta readers are volunteers who have willingly given their time to help me and I will always be in their debt. Any errors are mine alone. There are a number of spelling, grammar and punctuation differences between Australia and the USA... please forgive me for writing with an accent. (g)

5. Yes, I love feedback! Drop me a note so we can chat about the boys. I love to hear others views and it means a lot to me when friends (new and old) take the time to send feedback, encouragement and constructive criticism. Please don't bother to send flames. I've lived that hell once and I won't be allowing it to affect me again.

Special thanks to my pards on the Vin Fanfic and Discussion Group and all of the people who have sent me feedback, encouragement and support in the past. Very special thanks to my wonderful friend and beta, Teri for helping to spot the errors.

THIS UNIVERSE IS CLOSED I hope you will respect this. I encourage you to create your own modern universe to play in. Thank you.

His Decision

Response to the Vin Fanfic and Discussion Group Dec 2008 Finish the Story Challenge.

The door closed behind him with a loud bang, causing him to jump.  The sound was so final, yet he knew all he need do was turn the knob and walk back in to the room where his family waited, but was he prepared to do that just yet?  A swirl of emotions fought for prominence as he thought back to the words he had spoken, and the subsequent reaction, prior to his swift departure.

 

Vin stared at the beauty of Four Corners that rolled out in front of him as far as the eye could see.  The peace out there was a stark contrast to the hostility he’d just caused with his announcement.  He could hear the boys arguing from this side of the closed door.

With a sigh, Vin strode to one of the chairs on the verandah and dropped into it.  He leaned forward, elbows on knees and sank his chin into his hands accompanied by an audible groan.

It was his decision to make.  This wasn’t a decision for the team... or even for his family, because by God, they had become his family.

His final comment rung in his ears.  His business he’d said.  Of course, his business was their business... he wasn’t sure at what point it had become so but... he wasn’t really complaining.  He was grateful they cared enough to try and make him change his mind but this was his decision. And his mind was well and truly made up.

It wasn’t as if he’d made the decision lightly.  He’d weighed up the pros and cons, his own tolerance for pain etc.  He understood that the boys wanted to look after him but this was his decision and he was happy to pay the consequences.

The door to his left swung open with such ferocity it almost left its hinges.  A beast from hell appeared.

Vin rose to his feet.  “Larabee...”

“Tanner, you are going to the dentist!”

I would really love to know what you thought.
