Love Hate and revenge

What Went Wrong

I could hear men talking but couldn't make out what they were saying through the pounding of my head. I was starting to come conscious again I noticed I was being carried. I didn't know where I was by that time or how long I was out for all I knew is that I was in a bad way and my head was pounding from the blow I had just taken, just as we stopped the light dispersed and darkness fell once more.

I tried opening my eyes, I could hear but my eyes were all blurry I needed to focus them. I started to see shadows it was an outline of 2 men I think, I could hear them clearly now but I didn't move I just lay there listening to them speak.

"What ya gunna do to her now ya have her"

"Cole just go, here that's the money for your fix, if you tell anyone about this I will kill you do you understand!"

"Course Joey, wouldn't dare"

Who is Cole I thought to myself I had never heard of him before probably someone to do joeys dirty work, oh god what was he going to do then I remembered the gun, did I still have it?

Yes I did I could just feel it they must have been side tracked not to search me saying that Joey would never expect me to have a gun and knows dam well I wouldn't have a clue how to use one and I don't but how hard can it be to pull a trigger in the face of someone you really hate, ok ok maybe not in the face but at least in the knee so he can't chase me at this rate though I will go to shoot him in the knee and hit him in the head if my eyes don't hurry up and focus.

Cole had left as I heard his footsteps distance themselves from me, I had my eyes closed now thinking of what Joey was going to do if he say me awake he would act quickly so I just lay there limp, I also knew that I needed medical attention and if I didn't get it soon I might be really out cold.

The pounding in my head matched the pacing of his feet, walking backwards and forwards, he was scared I could feel it, he didn't know if I was dead or alive, he had gone too far he knew this time.

"Why do you always push me Alex you know how good we are, you know that we are one, we can't live without each other, you can see how this is all your fault!"

Where did it go wrong I thought to my self did I hurt someone in a past life or upset the gods that badly that they would torcher  me in this life, I manage to get away from this evil and start again and he finds me I get away again and he gets me again maybe he is right maybe I am meant to be this way maybe this is the only way.

I could feel myself getting sucked into him how he would manipulate me even though he thought I was dead he still had an effect until he slipped and said those few words the few words that would always bring me back to what's mine to who I am now, to what my life has become.

"You thought you were happy with Hendrix you thought you could have a son and forget about me I told you that I will find you, that you are mine!"

That's when I realised the love for Hugh and Jake was my strength it's the reason I'm still alive the reason I am fighting on, I am worth more than to be a punching bag for a low life bully, Joey is a coward who chooses women as his victims why should I let him do this any longer, I now know what went wrong it was me that went wrong I should of spoke out sooner told the world what a horrible excuse of a man he was but I kept quiet , well not any more he deserves every last bit of anger , I will end this now as I shall not breath the same air as him no longer.

I slightly opened my eyes and noticed him with his head against the wall, we were still in the factory, he is stupid I thought I knew Hugh would be here soon, I slowly slid my hand down my leg to my sock and pulled out the hand gun obviously the Cole person must of been high not to notice a bulge in my sock which I'm glad of, I slowly sat up so he didn't here me, my head was still bleeding and could feel it trickling down my head before I thought any more I clicked the safety off and cocked the gun holding it in front of me.

Joey turned his head and was in shock to see me awake and holding a gun, he turned his full body he looked frail and gaunt, he starting to smile it was a weird smile as if he was thinking of something sinister, as he walked towards me I pressed it, I pulled the trigger I couldn't believe I did it, I watched how his face changed as he dropped to the floor, floods of tears came to my eyes and I shuck, I lay back down before I fell.  My  body was going into shock whether it was because of my head of what had just happened I didn't care no longer my family were safe and that's all that mattered.
...........

We tracked Sophia's phone which seemed to take forever, I quickly got in the car and raced to the location there was an accident near the freeway so the traffic had backed up, I was getting impatient my wife was in danger I could feel it I just knew I had to get to her as quick as I could, Clinton had the location and was also instructed to send an ambulance.

Eventually the traffic passed and I made it to the location I could see Sophia's car,  jumping out of my own I quickly ran to the car thinking just maybe she would still be in the car trust me this was very wishful thinking I know but it was worth a shot.

Surprise surprise she wasn't, that meant she was around here somewhere and with no way of tracing her, then I remembered her wedding ring had a tracker made into it, it was one of the first things I thought about doing when he kidnapped her the last time. I rang Clinton,

" hi yes found the vehicle no, no Alex but a think she will have her wedding ring with her do a trace on it and bring the device so we can trace her location, ok 5 minutes Clinton then am going in."

I put down my phone and looked around Sophia said something about a warehouse looking creepy there was two I knew that if I chose the wrong one it would be fatal and could cost me my wife, I was so angry and upset with Alex why would she have no regard for her own safe did she think that little of her life, that she would put herself in this danger, once I get her back, if I get her back she will never be allowed to leave my sight again.

Just as Clinton pulled up with the device I heard a loud gun shot!
Shit!!! Please don't let that be Alex, I ran towards the sound I didn't even know where she was and I didn't care if Joey or his men came for me I needed my wife that's all that matters right now. I took one flight of stairs then another I heard Clinton shouting after me .

"Sir it's the top floor, looks like it could be far left, be careful and don't get too close till we make sure it's safe!"

"Clinton if I see her then I'm going in so hurry your arse up the stairs so I don't have to wait"

I reach the top floor, my heart pounding making my ears ring all I wanted was my darling Alex to be safe in my arms, if that bastard had taking away one of the only things precious to me then he will die a long slow death.

I searched as fast as I could, I could hear Clinton and his men climbing the stairs so I knew I was safe I walked towards the far left of the building with a quick pace eager to find my wife as I approached I heard sirens which would indicate the police and ambulance as I approach the room I saw her lying there still the tears flood my eyes as I ran towards her not even caring of where Joey was at this moment , I fell beside her body noticing she had blood on her head.

"Alex baby please you can't leave me you stupid girl why did you go off by yourself, please just wake up I need you, Jake needs you please Alex wake up."

"Hugh, I love you your safe now" I heard in a whisper.

"Alex keep talking to me the ambulance is here for you it's going to be okay."

"I killed him Hugh, I'm cold Hugh please kiss Jake for me and look after both of you, I love you."

"Don't you dare say that, your going to be fine."

I wrapped her in my arms giving her as much heat as I could screaming for help, Clinton came rushing in with the paramedics following that's when I noticed the sack of shit limp behind then steel door, if only he had just left her alone this wouldn't be happening and he would be alive but I'm glad he has gone I just hope he hasn't took my wife with him.

"She has a very weak pulse sir, she has lost a lot of blood and is going to need a transfusion straight away we need to get her to hospital, sir can you hear me sir we need to take her now!"

I hadn't realised how tight I had Alex to my chest I let them put her on the stretcher and followed her into the ambulance.

"Quick put her on ventilation and let's sedate her this will release any pressure on her brain."

All I could do was wait and watch as my wife the once bubbly full of life character was slipping through my fingers.
