Turning Back

Chapter 6- Conti

Simon's P.O.V

I wake up to the empty bed, why isn't Alisha here with me? I wake up properly stretching my arms and a note laying on the bed side table

Simon, 

Good Morning sleepy head, I had to go to Community Service but I guess I'll see you there.

-Alisha xx

I smile at the note and fold it in half putting it into my box of collections. I'm leaving the box for her when I'm gone. It will help her in the healing process from my death to the start of our relationship. I get out of bed having a quick shower before putting my gear on. Hospital here I come.

Unfortunately I can't save everyone's lives. One life at a time. Alisha's life has top priority but her life isn't in risk, not yet anyway. Evil is in our world but sometimes it is needed in our life, it will safe Nikki's life. The poor girl has heart failure resulting in her struggle to breath. If she doesn't get a doner soon Nikki's life will be taken from her. Ollie the new guy in the gang is that doner. I quickly check in on Nikki, she is fine but there isn't much time. I run and search for Tim's red car it wasn't very hard a man was running away. I need to distract Tim and lead him to the gang. I keep my distance and make a few noises to alert him. It was easy to bring him to the gang.      

"Where's Conti?" Tim looks between Simon, Nathan, Ollie, Kelly and Curtis studying each one of them. He couldn't tell which one of them were Conti, he had no information.

"Oh, it's him, he's a right Conti" Nathan laughs gesturing towards Simon. Still a jerk. 

"Did you think I was going to let it go? I want my money" He tilts his head to the side slightly looking at Simon. 

"Give the man his money"

"I haven't got your money" 

"Roxy?," Tim looks towards Kelly, he thought she was his ex-fiance "So you're with him now? I was still waiting for you at the church when the cops picked me up" 

"Not being funny, mate, but you're acting like a right nutter" Kelly says

"He's clearly suffering from a mental illness" 

"I want my money" Tim repeats. 

"Let me talk to him, Ollie starts moving towards him "What's your name? It's OK" Ollie starts but is cut short by Tim. He grabbed his gun out pointing it to Ollie and shooting him in the head. Blood flies everywhere, all over the ground and the gang. They quickly run away from Tim screaming and yelling. My work here is done Nikki's life is saved. Community Service would nearly be over I need to come home.

"Why didn't you stop it?" Alisha storms in clearly angry. Blood is still splattered across her face

"I can't save everyone" I explain. 

"That's bullsh*t" 

"If I'd have stopped it from happening, someone else would've died"
