Alex's Pov

Ryan had a flair for the dramatic, I'll give him that. He clapped twice and the door swung open. Ominous creaks filled the room as a trolley got wheeled in by Cade. It was rusty. Old. And on it sat a small television and a DVD player.

“What is this?" I scoffed.

“Be patient… You'll see." Ryan hushed excitedly.

Too excited. It made my skin crawl.

I watched as Cade slowly took out a blank disc from his inner jacket pocket and slotted it into the DVD player before turning the TV on. There was a crackle of static, a high pitched beep and then a bunch of blurry images filled the screen.

"Uh, What am I supposed to be looking at?” I scoffed again.

Cade shrugged sheepishly at Ryan before hitting the top of the TV twice. More static for a second and then the image became clearer.

I was aware of Ryan watching me keenly as I struggled to make sense of the video. The images were grainy and the angle of the CCTV camera wasn't ideal. Also, the video was already over ten s

    Luca’s Pov Elias kept calling and I kept ignoring. Eventually he gave up knowing there was no stopping me. It took three tries to get Garcia to pick up the phone. When he finally did, he sounded pissed as hell. “Que?! Who the fuck is this?!" In the background, I heard a woman's voice call out, “No delante de los niños, tontito!” “They didn't hear me, Cierra la boca!" Garcia yelled back. “I take it married life is treating you well." I scoffed. "Who is this?” Garcia grumbled. "It's Luca Moon. I need a quick fix.” " Ahh mi hermano! It's been so long. Where have you been hiding eh?” "I haven't. I've just been busy.” "Right right. Too busy to attend any of the invites I sent you?” In the background the woman yelled out again, "Who is on the phone Manny?” "None of your business, Serpientita. Leave me alone." Garcia yelled out in response. “Women eh? Take my advice, Luca. Never get married." “I wasn't planning to." I drawled, “Look I need a fix. Like right now." Garci

    Alex's Pov I felt the restraints on my hand loosen.. and then felll away. Ryan had instructed Cade to untie me. But I didn't move. Not even to rub my sore wrists and elbows. Or wipe the tears running freely down my cheeks. The video was still playing on loop and Ryan said something. I blinked and with great difficulty, tore my eyes away from the screen to stare at him. His hand was still on my shoulder and his eyes held warmth and sincerity. “I'm sorry, Alex. You must have really loved him." He repeated, his fingers massaging my shoulders gently. “To love so deeply, and to be loved as much in return, it's a beautiful thing you know. One of my greatest desires.” "Why did you show me this?” I was surprised at the edge and steadiness in my voice and judging from his raised eyebrows, Ryan was too. He paused for a second then nodded to Cade who brought him the remote. “You see, when I first saw the video, I was prepared to dismiss it. I mean, a boy crying over his dead lover,

    Luca's Pov He wasn't far. I stayed within the speed limit until I was sure I was out of sight of the police officers and then I slammed my foot on the gas, my heart jackhammering away within my ribcage. A bullet through the windshield of a beat up truck. That was no ordinary drive by crime. Someone had been targeted. I tried not to believe Alex had been in that truck. He had to be okay. Maybe still wandering about the woods since his phone's location pinging away in the car screen showed he wasn't on the highway. But the big blue dot also hadn't moved since it popped up on my screen. As I got closer to the coordinates, I slowed. The location was just off the highway. But not fully into the woods. I hopped down and followed the trail for only a few feet into the dense vegetation. I already knew what I was going to find before I saw it. The phone lay shattered in front of me. There was no sign of Alex. I cursed under my breath. It wasn't rocket science figuring out what

    Alex's Pov “Hello Alex. It's been a while." The smile on Ryan's face was one of triumph. "Wh….how…what?" I blinked rapidly, still not able to make sense of what I was seeing. The dark blazer and shiny black shoes looked out of place but the twinkle in his eyes and calm demeanor told me I wasn't just seeing things. It was Ryan alright. “Questions. I know you have them and I'll answer in due time but….” “Damn right I have questions! What the hell is going on?!” I screeched, cutting him off. Ryan smiled and shook his head, "Isn't it obvious?” "No. Not really.” I scoffed. "What is this? Some elaborate prank?” "I do love a good prank every now and then but this isn't one. Trust me.” Ryan replied.My brain still felt muddled seeing him standing before me. He was Ryan but at the same time not. The voice was certainly different. Deeper and with a slight accent. British? He held himself with his shoulders a lot higher. Rigid. A man clearly in charge. As opposed to the constantly slo

    Alex's Pov The world slowly came into focus. My head felt like it was stuffed full with cotton swabs. I was strapped to a chair, the leather biting into my skin. I was sitting directly facing two doors that seemed to be moving towards each other. One. It was one door. I blinked, trying to bring my eyes back into focus. My throat was dry, and my mouth felt like it was covered with scales. I couldn't feel my feet which told me I must have been in this position for quite a while.The details from the previous day trickled back to memory slowly. Luca's phone call, running away, hitching a ride. Oh God Mrs Holden! The incident replayed itself in my head. In slow motion. Her surprised and mildly angry expression from seeing the car stopping on the road then turning into one of shock at seeing the gun. Her mouth slowly forming the word but not quite getting it out fully before her brain got blown out onto the headrest behind her. She died because of me. I thought she was in
