Seventeen

**A few hours earlier, somewhere in the city**

  Jeffery walked into the hospital after leaving work early he would have loved to screw this meeting and go home and relax, probably by sleeping with his fiancée who was Zachary's girlfriend (well ex but he doesn't know it) but he needed to be here and keep up appearances. He didn't understand why Zachary was still holding on. He should just do everybody a favor and just die. The boy has been holding on for the better part of a year. When he attacked Zachary, he never thought that it would take a year for him to get Zachary things, but it is looking that way. If he had known it would take this long maybe he would have used a knife instead of a wrench, stab it straight to Zach heart and the boy would have been long gone with Jeffrey set in to inherit everything.

  Now he had to act like he was still looking for his brother’s attacker and so concerned for somebody
