Can this be true?

A New Job

Alex struggled to her feet, taking careful steps forwards. Hoping to somehow stop Sylar. Just when Sylar raised is hand, to do what he did to Jackie to Sandra. The front door burst open, throwing Alex to the stairs and shots rung throughout the house. Noah and his Haitian friend had come in, Noah with his gun raised shooting at Sylar. Sylar hit the fridge and collapsed to the ground, while the Haitian and Noah proceeded with care, but Sylar wasn't there. Alex remembered that much. "Find him he dies" Noah yelled to the Haitian, rage in his voice.

Noah lowered his gun and made his way to Sandra as the Haitian left. "Sandra you okay?" he asked, Alex stood back up, slowly again, seeing as the door hit her the second time with a force to throw her to the stairs. Noah helped Sandra against the wall, the one made of brick. Alex leaned against the railing, he legs threatening to give out. She was lucky she didn't break any bones. Or maybe that's how he wanted it to happen. Hurt her but not damage her. Was he going to take her? These thoughts raced through Alex's head.

"I don't understand what happened, why was he. He moved the phone without even touching it" Sandra was going into a slight confused panic. Alex smiled a little. "Shhh. You're safe now" Noah said. "I'm right here. I'll find him" Noah had this stern look about him, one meant he meant business. "He kept asking about Claire" Sandra had tears flowing down her face. Alex got up and moved towards the front door, She didn't even think Noah knew she was there. "Claire's fine. Shes safe too and she'll stay that way too. I promise" The Haitian walked back in and even though he didn't speak, Noah knew what the man was saying.

Sylar was gone. And no one could do a thing about it.

Alex got to the doorway and stood there. "Who is that?" she heard Sandra whisper. "This is my friend. He's gonna make everything okay. He'll help you forget again" Alex looked back, one last time, noticing how the Haitian and Noah were focused on Sandra and not her, she left the house, all she heard behind her was. "What do you mean again?" before she was out of earshot and walking back home. When Alex got home, she headed straight to her bedroom to take a shower. She threw her clothes on the floor and climbed into the shower, turning it on. Hoping that it will somehow make things better, that the thought of Sylar taking her would go away.

Alex climbed out the shower one hour later and changed into the fresh set of clothes. Alex only had to tomorrow to pack, she had to do it quickly, and head out, she would be in Brooklyn by tomorrow afternoon, she practically booked the train ticket for 9pm tonight, and the time was now, 2:15pm. It would take her 2 hours to pack everything she wanted to take with her, just clothes and the stuff she cherished, then it would take her 2 hours to get to the train station, leaving her another 2 hours to buy food and get ready to get on.

Alex pulled out her suitcase and began to pack clothes, her mind began to drift. Did Noah notice she was there? Will he send the Haitian after her? She needed to pretend she was dead, that was likely the only way for Sylar and Noah to leave her be. Alex finished packing up the suitcase and went to fill up her handbags. She had her phone, she could watch Heroes on there during the ride. Even in the station. She needed to know, it's the only way to keep ahead of Sylar.

Within two hours, she had called a Taxi and even thought of a way to go. She grabbed the house phone, and dialed Claire's number. "Hello?" came Claire's voice. "Hey its Alex. I just called to say, I hope your Mom is okay and that I was there when it happened. It was the same, guy Claire" Alex took a breath. "What? Does Dad know?" Claire stopped talking waiting for my reply. "No he doesn't and don't tell him. I wont be around anymore. I have to leave. Heading to New York to be with my mother. She needs me Claire. Dont question anything about what you may see on the news about me. I'm doing it to protect myself" Alex closed her eyes, "What do you mean? The going to be with family I get, but the news part?" Claire trailed off, sounding terribly confused.
