When Our Lives Intertwined

Alec's POV

Previously Alec decided to give the burner phone another shot before throwing it away. Christain responded, sounding agitated. A lot can occur in a brief amount of time. As soon as Alec hung up with Christain and Ivy, he dialed Tyler and Theo. On the phone, Alec informed Tyler and Theo that they were both fine at the moment.

"What do you need us to do now," Asked Tyler.

In response, Alec said, "I need one of you to break into the warehouse security and get us eyes inside, and the other I need to open the front gate."

"All right," they said.

Tyler had the front gate ready for when he pulled in. Alec could overhear Tyler and Theo bickering.

"What is it, guys?" Alec enquired.

"Um, the cameras went through," Tyler said.

"And?" Alec remarked.

"Christain just got shot. They have him in cuffs on the first floor," Theo stated.

"And Ivy?" Alec asked.

"She's on the third floor she took out two gunmen. It looks like she's on the phone. But someone's coming up behind her," Tyler said.

It appears they would not be meeting Alec at the front door after all.

Theo added, "She is unaware he's behind her."

"He is going to knock her out. To buy her some time, we can cut the power," Tyler said.

"No that would cut her cell service off also," Alec responded.

Theo said, "It's too late, She got hit from behind.

"Someone beeping in, I will call you back," Alec said.

Tyler and Theo exchanged worried glances with one another. Alec hung up the phone and took the incoming call from Braxton.

"Heads up, the police were sent over about two minutes ago. Also, father returned." Braxton stated.

"Where was he?" Alec asked.

"He went to the board asking for help and confessed his whole plan. The other leaders each sent a team to help, but then I told him to cancel, or it would be a bigger bust for the police," Braxton replied.

"You're going to be on your own for a minute. Father and I just left the house we should be about ten minutes behind you," Braxton stated.

"Alrighty, got to go, bye," Alec said.

Alec texted Tyler and Theo saying he would call them soon. Ivy's head was worse than ever before. When she woke, her feet were chained to the ground.

"Hey, are you okay?" Christain asked.

"No," Ivy stated.

Then she started to pull on the chains, but she could not get her hands out.

"I feel sick," Ivy said.

"Are you able to reach the hammer on that shelf?" Christian inquired.

"I'll give it a shot!" Ivy replied.

Gunshots rang in the distance.

"Was that my imagination?" Ivy inquired.

"Nope, that was real," Christain confirmed.

"I've got it!" Ivy exclaimed.

She hit it against the chains that held her feet in place. Once they broke, she got up to go get the keys for her hands. She hustled over and grabbed the keys off the wall. It took her a second to unlock her handcuffs and started to walk toward Christian to unlock his when the door swung open.

Ivy crashed against the wall, as Xander pinned her. He appeared furious. As Ivy dropped the keys on the ground, more gunshots rang out as though they were getting closer.

Ivy kneed him as she was able to get control. She took the chance to push him down opposite the side Christian was on. Then she leaped sliding the keys across the floor. They landed closer to Christian. He was able to reach the keys as Xander was back fighting Ivy.

Christian removed his handcuffs and started on the set holding his feet. Ivy was holding up using some form of boxing defense. Her footwork wasn't the greatest, but she could counter almost all his attacks.

Xander took the high ground with his footwork he sideswiped her onto the ground then picked her up and started to hit her back-to-back. Ivy was losing consciousness; she would not be able to fight much longer at this rate.

Xander grabbed his gun just as Christian was able to unlock the last keyhole. He was too late though. As the door swung open once more, two gunshots echoed throughout the room.

Ivy obtained a gunshot wound to the chest. She lost consciousness and collapsed into Alec's arms. He held her as he analyzed the room. Christain removed Xander's gun away and looked for a pulse, but he was unable to find the pulse, so they presumed he was dead. Outside sirens rang in the distance. Christian followed Alec as he carried Ivy out of the warehouse.
