Wreckless

Chapter 23

Sorry for the delay but here is a recap to jog your memory just incase... 

I hopped off walking into the building and I was welcomed with the smell of death and depression. I walked to the front desk and there sat an average lady in her late thirties. She didn't even smile when I greeted her and she bluntly ignored me.

"Hello, I'm here to see Marcus."

She huffed in irritation glaring at her computer annoyed. She typed away on the keyboard taking her sweet time to reply.

"Family only." She snapped and I looked for her name tag and saw it near her hair. Mrs Jane. I tried to calm myself down not wanting to start a fight. She looked at me arching her eyebrow getting really agitated with my presence.

I narrowed my eyes carefully studying her. My brain and body disconnected and I heard my fist collide with the counter and she flinched at the sound. I felt like fire was coming out of my eyes and my body was getting tense.

"I am his finance supporter. Show me his fucking room or you will be happy that you're in the hospital because I'll fucken make sure you never walk again."

She hesitated and got out from behind the desk and took me down the hall to a hidden door where there was a staircase. I followed patiently behind her and we entered a room that led to a theatre room. Inside was doctors working a surgery. We walked past them and into a hallway, turning left into a fancy looking room.

Inside the room laid Marcus with multiple wires hooked onto him and his body covered in bandages and casts. On the side, I saw his wife sleeping peacefully beside him with a tear-stained face. Excusing the lady away I walked slowly towards Marcus and I can barely see him underneath all his blankets and move it slightly down so he can breathe a bit better.

I sat on the love seat angry with myself. This was all my fault. I should've left went home and Marcus wouldn't be hurt right now. I looked at him and his wife together and I made a promise.

Whoever did this to you, Marcus. They will not be spared. I will show no mercy. I will also avenge my father even if it costs my life. For God is looking down at me right now this is my promise to you Marcus. I will kill them all.

I spent a good hour talking with Marcus's wife trying to figure out what happened. I was curious as to why Gwen and Hannah weren't here. 

She seemed so relaxed but I could see the bags forming in her eyes and the dullness of her eyes. 

She gave me a small smile looking towards Marcus with a look of pain.

Giving her some space I went out to the noodle canteen and bought dinner for us. She sat beside him eating peacefully.

It was nearly 5 pm and I it was best for me to leave. 

I went out on my motorcycle and there was a little note attached to my helmet. 

So are you siding now are we - Z 

I looked at the empty parking lot specifically looking for a hot mess with stormy eyes. I mentally slapped myself brushing the feeling away. 

I needed to harden up especially if he is my number one suspect at the moment.

I jumped onto my motorcycle smirking to myself. 

I guess he wants to play with fire tonight.
