<br/>Kat heard the soldier's reassurance and she sighed deeply.  Of course there was no guarantee they'd keep her word, but if there was any chance they were telling the truth she wouldn't be able to live with herself if she continued to hide.  Reluctantly she opened the door just enough to get her gun through.  With a trembling hand she slid it out as far as she could, showing that she was no longer armed.  She would most likely be executed, she was well aware, and she had made peace with it.<br/><br/>Firming her resolve she stood upright and pushed the door fully open.  At least she was comforted by the fact that her brother was still alive, having not been in attendance with their cell today.  With deep, calming breaths she exited the closet, silent and steady.  Kat raised her hands and placed them behind her head in surrender.  It was killing her inside to give herself up to these traitorous, slaughtering pigs but what else could she do?  Slowly she walked forward into the enemy's sight, sealing her fate.
