''Mom'', a tear slipped Alex eyes. He needed his mom. She would make him feel better.He felt he messed up.  As he jumped into his car,looking at the blood on the backseat,he felt his heart sinking. He took out his phone and dialed his mom. ''Mom'', he sobbed. ''Alex,is everything alright son?'',She asked through the phone,her voice full of concern. ''Mom, I messed up'', Alex said as the tears streamed down his cheeks wetting his shirt. ''Calm down baby. It's okay. We all mess up sometimes'', She cooed through the phone, comforting. ''It's not alright. John is in the operating room. He had been shot by Sky'', Alex replied. ''OMG", Mrs Jenkins said as she held back the tears,''Son, it is not your fault,don't ever blame yourself''. '' How can I not. I had one simple task.Keep John safe. And........I couldn't even do that!!!'', He cursed himself. ''Son. Stop!!!!. You need to get justice for John. Not cr

Alex jumped into his car, looking at his phone. It was already way after 8pm. His phone blinked a red dot signalling a location. ''I am a total idiot!!!'', Alex thought,''I had totally forgotten we implanted Sky's phone with a tracking device''.''Never the less, atleast Rick knows the truth,and lured her to a location. If she decides to no pitch up,this will be plan b''.He drove home as fast as he could. He needed to plan her capture.As he entered the door his worried parents met him in the passage. His mother was tearful but his father was geared up for the revenge. They all sat around the kitchen table and discussed at length different ways to not raise suspicion and capture her as stealthily as possible, Once they where settle Alex pulled out his phone and made a few calls.He decided not to involve the police. He wanted to be the one to take her in. It was now nine thirty , they all left the house. Mrs Jenkins insisted on

''Where do I go from here?'',Alex thought to himself as he stepped out onto the sidewalk.Looking up at the sign on the building while he thought to himself. John had left so many loose ends, Sierra and Jefferson are still in the New York police station,the place he had just exited. He knew John was just teaching them a lesson but he had no idea what the plan was. Who knew that this might just be the tragic end of his boss,his brother. Alex sighed. He was clueless what to do next.Alex jumped into his car and drove aimlessly through the city. His thoughts of endless possibilities. Finally at midnight he reached home. He was exhausted,mentally,physically and emotionally. There was just too much happening. He walked into the passage and was greeted by his mother who was concerned by her sons shabby looks. His eyes were red and his clothes untidy. He looked like a hot mess.She took his hand and led him to the kitchen table, fixing him a hot cup of cinnamon tea and a bowl

The nurse that had prepared John for his procedure called for a hospital porter. Together the two wheeled him into the elevator taking him up to the 3rd floor operating theatre. The nurse looked at his pale face and couldn't help but feel sorry for him. He had all these tubes attached keeping him alive. She hoped that he would survive the operation. As a nurse you always feel the pain of your patient, you care for them and wish the best for them, she was one of them that always prayed for others. They reached the theatre waiting room. A theatre nurse entered gowned up in full scrubs to take over from the ward nurse.  " Mr John Smith, aged eighteen. Could not weigh hi

The morning came quicker than he expected. Alex felt as if he had never slept. He rubbed his eyes and yawned as he stepped out of his bed. Feeling around for his slippers, he looked at the empty bed across him and remembered John.He slipped on his slippers and walked into the bathroom. Taking a cold shower and dressing casually, he went down for breakfast. He ate half heartedly before rushing out. He needed to go to the car wash. He knew he would be picking up Adrianna today and he needed to get the blood stains out of his car., He knew that it will bring back memories and emotionally break her. Around the corner he stopped at the Easy bay car wash. He parked his car and gave them the keyes while he grabbed a cup of coffee and a bagel. The sky was clear blue. The sun was bright orange . It was a hot day and Alex sat under the umbrella attached to his table and chairs. As he watched his car being washed he dialled Adrianna making sure she would be ready.
