A Haunted Dream; BOS 6

Premiere Gone Bad

Alex sat in the bar in the same seat. He ignored everyone who tried talking to him. Far giving up on trying to get drunk. It wasn't working. He wanted to get drunk yet he couldn't bring himself to have another drink.
His phone rang and he answered it with a sigh. "What do you want? Shouldn't you be at the premiere?" He grumbles upon seeing the caller ID as Kyle.
"We are. It's just something odd happened. Lillian saw us and it was as if she turned into ice. She seemed to freeze on the spot and went so, deadly pale. Then she walked away very quickly." Kyle says and Alex sighs unhappily.
"Why would I want to know this?"
"I didn't finish." Kyle hissed sharply.
"We're half an hour in and Lillian just ran out. She looked scared out of her mind. As in she looked as if she saw all the girls angry with weapons at the same time." He said in a quiet tone and Alex frowned.
"We watched and saw men follow her. We thought they were her guards at first glance but realized that they had the emblem of the Duke and Duchess of France on the shoulder of their coats." As soon as Kyle said this Alex got up and sprinted out of the bar, dropping a wad of cash at the bar as he went.
He leaped into his car and drove as quickly as he could towards the destination if the movie premiere.

Alex skidded to a halt around the back and grabbed his hand gun before running around to the side to see Lillian backed against the wall. He stared at her with wide eyes. She wore a long, glittering silver dress that hugged her curves. She looked even more beautiful than when they first met.
Alex saw 5 men surrounding her in a semicircle. "Nowhere to run Lillian. Isn't this the best premiere to do this. 'Fatal Revenge' is exactly what is going to happen to you." One of them says.
Alex slunk through the shadows. When he was close enough he cocked his gun, making a click. "I suggest you back away Mrs Morgan or else your all going to have a formal meeting with my bullets." He snarled.
Lillians eyes widen. Alex slowly steps from the shadows. "How do you plan to do that? Five of us, one of you and you only have one gun." The men turn to face him but leave no way for Lillian to slip away.
"You don't think I can do it? Do you want me to introduce myself?" Alex spat.
The men laugh.
"Anyway. You're the ones at the disadvantage. I don't think you have a general for a father or a senator of state for an uncle." Alex sends Lillian a look and she nods slightly.
She looked around her and picked up a piece of wood silently. Alex aims his gun at the man closest to him. As soon as his finger tightens around the trigger Lillian swung the piece of wood and knocked one out cold s well as giving another a nasty gash. Alex dived forwards and in front of Lillian. Blocking a knife with his arm and shooting the man before pulling the knife from his arm and throwing it, killing another.
Lillian snapped the unconscious guys neck and Alex killed the man with the gasp. Alex's brother came racing around the corner with Alysha beside him, the others just behind. All stopped in their tracks. "I thought you said you weren't coming." Alysha said with a smirk and Alex lobs a knife at her which she easily catches and drops to the ground.
"I wasn't." He glances at Lillian who refused to look at him before walking away, back towards his car.
"Thank you Alex. They would have killed me if you hadn't come." Lillian says without looking up.
Alex stops.
"She was here wasn't she? She's why you ran out." He says and Lillians head shoots up.
"What?" She asks in shock.
"You saw the Macy. That's why you ran. Knowing she was here for revenge. Perfect time to do so. The French seem to be quite ironic from personal experiences." Alex says without looking back.
Lillian stared at him with wide eyes. "You remember? After 6 years you still remember what I told you?" She gasps.
"So what? I remember significant moments. You know what day it was Lillian. You know why I could never forget about it." Alex turns sharply to look at her.
She bows her head.
"I remember a broken drunk pouring his life out to me. How can I be sure you were telling the truth?" She walks over and stands right in front of him.
"Look it up Lillian. I thought a girl like you would be smarter than that. But who needs the internet when you can ask my brother who's standing right over there? Or even better ask his wife, the woman who broke me out of that prison and took my mother's life to save her from a painful death in front of her family. I never lied to you Lillian. I had no reason to." Alex yells and points to the others who were all standing, staring in shock.
Lillian backs away. Her phone rings and she walks away, answering it as she walked around the corner.
"You told her?" Liam roars.
"Her father was one of the highest ranking general in the USA and her uncle is the senator of state. I could trust her. It was 6 years ago anyway. A lot has changed since then." Alex roars back angrily.
"Now isn't the time to fight." Ash snaps.
Alex clenched his jaw and storms away to his car. He climbed in and locked the doors. He didn't start the car. He didn't drive away. He just sat in the drivers seat with his head against the steering wheel.
Tears fell silently.
He stayed there for over an hour before he finally started the car and drove of. Not noticing a woman glaring after his car from the shadows with a french flag pin on her shirt. She disappears silently into the shadows without a trace.
