Cowboy Diaries - a Jon Bon Jovi fan fiction

26: Judgement Day

 15. March 1992, Jon's house

Jon's  POV

It was close to evening right now. I lay on the sofa, exhausted from work. Things went very well as far as recording goes. 

But you know the boys. They are crazy. And spending your whole day with them again can be annoying after a while. Especially when we have to stay serious to get shit done but at the same time I don't want to be the boss that always spoils the fun.

We still needed to find our balance, and we still let things go really careful with each other in order to avoid new arguments. Especially with Hugh, our new bass player we were careful because he sometimes was hard to assess. 

He didn't talk much. He just was a really introverted and laid back guy but sometimes I didn't know if he was mad at me because I did something wrong or if it was just his nature.

Anyways, I was sitting on my sofa as suddenly the phone began to ring. I expected it to be Dorothea. Since our conversation after my birthday we had started to see us regularly or just talked on the phone for hours. We wanted to take things slow but we really enjoyed each others company again.

I was kinda disappointed as I heard my mother's voice down the line. 

"Jon, turn on CNN! Hurry, it's important."

I had no idea what was that about now but her voice alarmed me and without much thinking I did what she said and switched the channel. My heart almost stopped as I saw an image of Alec on the screen. Seconds later it was gone and I actually started to concentrate on what the presenter said:

"...that our researches have shown that this man..." A picture of Corey was shown now. "Corey Bayers, was present on the day on which Alec John Such got murdered. The information of hundreds of video data was evaluated and that lead to the conclusion that you could see a covered person. 

This person has a very significant eye coloring that only around one percent of the world's population possesses. During the house search of the suspect, a black bandana like the one the murderer was wearing to cover his face was found. 

Furthermore the police confiscated several weapons, one being under the suspect to be the gun that was used that day. 

This new track now gives us hope to finally close that unsolved case and to find justice, especially for the victim's family, colleagues and friends. The crime will be further investigated by the police and we will keep you up-to-date with the further developments."

I just sat in silence for some minutes before rage finally started to build up inside of me. When I hadn't thought that I could hate Corey much more, I was wrong. 

Stealing my wife, forcing her to work as a sex toy and now probably killing Alec. I know you shouldn't judge before everything was proved, but I didn't care about that at all. 

It all made sense now. I had no idea what was going on in Corey's head but I had always known that he was a complete psycho.

But at the same time still none of that gave me an answer to my questions. Why would he have killed Alec? And what had Dorothea to do with that? 

As much as he was an asshole, his love for Dorothea had always been his only one and he fought for it. What actually was romantic, when you didn't see the hurting and killing part of it. 

But Alec was as much of a brother to Dorothea as he was to me, she went on tour with us so often and so you grow close together like a big family. So didn't he realize he hurt Dorothea too with that? Who would want to hurt someone he loved?
