I stood there shocked. His brother? He was a Dane? " What do you mean, he had everything. " My voice a growl. The man chuckled. " My brother, being the youngest was always babied and everyone loved him. He got all the attention while I was left to rot. " He sighed before going on. He continued and I studied every move he made. "I worked for him to earn money. Fired me a week, said I didn't have what it takes. He was so over his head and cocky . He was driving me mad. Litterly. So I put an end to it." I looked over at Alex's body. " So what now? " I dared to ask. He smirked. " Easy. Kill you and the kid, and leave. " Something snapped in me. I felt a fire glow in me. I could feel as if Alex were beside me, ready to fight to the end. " She's a teenager not a kid! " And with that, I shot him. I saw the bullet to into his shoulder and he jumped at me, clutching the knife tightly. We wrestled. A punch here, a blow there. I had dropped my gun when he attacked me. He was towering over my form, a foot in my chest, Smirkng. " Lights out, detective. " I shut my eyes and waited for death. But it never came. I opened my eyes. The man was on the floor. I looked up and saw Alex standing over him holding a my gun. She was panting and looked at me with a tired and painful smile. " Alex..." I whispered. She nods before she collapses.
