Chapter Thirteen - Being Named As Solution

-----

ALEX'S POV

"To meet Lucas," I said that and left. Grace's support for me was a very big thing in itself. She wouldn't know, but her support meant a lot to me.

I got down the building and Moses was waiting for me in his car. I sat and he looked at me and then started driving a car.

"Moses, what exactly is going on? I will rather be a Mafia leader for all the trouble I'm facing." I said and we both laughed.

"Then...I'll be your right hand." He commented back and I laughed at him.

"Well, the fact that Britney is getting released in a few days is threatening. Her good behavior got her early bail. But...there was someone who had fast-forwarded the entire session." He informed me and I nodded thinking about who it can be.

"Well, I think...we have to be more careful about everything then," I said and he nodded looking at me.

"For my sister, I will." He said and I smiled.

"Lucas, we meet again," I said as we both shook hands.

"Yes, finally, Xander...uh...Cruz." Lucas said but looked up looking if I'd say anything to him calling me Xander. He asked me to have a seat. I sat on the chair and he sat on the opposite chair, a glass table lied in between us.

"Lucas...I've been informed that you know something about the things happening with my fiancée," I said looking at him straight in the eyes. He sighed but nodded.

"I've been getting threats as it is. I had one informing about your fiancée and concluding something which I didn't catch. But there is something that she has and I don't know." He said and I gave him a confused look.

"You mean...the suspect sent you a threat before Xander?" Lucas nodded and went to bring something from his drawer. He brought a note and handed it over to me.

"You and Grace shared something unknowingly and are still unknown by it. Wonder if I should reveal it."

Concerned friend,
X

The note read. I gave it to Moses and even he stared it for a while. I sighed. It was getting difficult and frustrating.

"Xander, one thing I can tell is it's based on something similar that Grace, you and Lucas have," Moses mentioned as I and Lucas gave him a look.

"What?" We asked at the same time.

"Lieberman... Franco Lieberman."

While going home, Moses had placed some of his views that I had kept in my mind. I had to keep thinking and that one name wouldn't let me be.

It was just as much as a name and a man. But he had ruined my peace.

Franco Lieberman

Grace noticed my distress but didn't push much. She fed me and kept hope to me. Her support meant more than anything and she was giving that to me, without a doubt.

She was fast asleep beside me. I touched her little rigid belly, where two of my kids were growing. I felt them, in a way that wanted me to protect them more than ever.

There was this lingering danger and I didn't know when the attack would be. I couldn't pull my guard down because of it. One wrong move could cause many faults and I couldn't risk it.
