(Mature Language 18 +)

(Present Day: Nearly 30 minutes later Xander stormed out of his office)

*CAR TYRES SCREECH*

He almost jumped out of his car not even bothering to switch off the engine. He chose to rely on the hand breaks today making the car to come to an abrupt stop. Once inside the elevator, Xander started to tap his right foot impatiently out of habit. As if on cue his right hand fingers ran through his thick brown hairs in anguish. Worry was written all over his face. His taut jaw was still clenched in major anger. His beautiful blue-green eyes were looking at nothing in particular but, they were just deeply focused in thoughts. Thoughts about the phone call. The same phone call 30 minutes back kept lingering in his mind and was making it difficult for him.

Lift doors opened and he made his way to the living room in sturdy steps. The heels of his crisply polished black shoes were making a sound with each step he took, strongly announcing his arrival to everyone in the house. The maids stopped doing their work and flashed him their smiles as a greeting which of course was not noticed by him. He had many other things running in his mind today otherwise he would always greet them back.

He went past them and made his way towards the staircase to get to the first floor. In the past he was in a situation slightly similar to this when he was around 26 years old. He has not been able to come out of it even till now. It is a sensitive matter not only to him but also his entire family. And since that day he had been working day and night to get to the roots of it. He was still not able to get the answers. But with every try, he managed to get some or the other information which could help him. But now he was not really very sure what might be the reason. He definitely had no clue if he will be able to face the consequences which were yet to be thrown at him. He never wanted this to happen. But irrespective of what we want or don't want, things happen. Don't they? And it made him grip the handrail of the staircase in anger. He was once again in a helpless situation and he hated that. He was someone who loves to take control on everything and everyone but this time it seemed different.

He knew things didn't go according to his plan but Xander Ray Knight was not the one who would simply come in terms with situations. If situations are not being friendly with him then he tries to change them with his knowledge, experience, and power; basically with all his being. With this final thought hitting his mind he made his way towards the room where Mr. Robinson was already waiting for him.

"Allan!"

"Xander!"

"What happened? Is everything ok?" asked Xander in a genuinely worried tone looking at Mr. Allan Robinson, the family doctor. Allan was 2 years younger to Xander and was one of his good friends. Allan's family was well known in the state and were the closest friends to Xander's family. Allan's parents were surgeons in Knight Hospital owned by Xander's father. His mother, Kiara, was a specialist in cardiac department and his father, Liam, was a famous gynecologist and general surgeon. Allan's wife Linda was a radiologist in the same hospital. It was a happy family of doctors.

"Relax Xander, everything is fine. And there is nothing to worry about" replied back Allan in a reassuring tone trying to ease the worry on Xander's face. But his next words made Xander to scrunch his eyebrows in shock.

"Ian was shot in three places" Allan's words kept ringing in his brain. He immediately turned towards the bed where Ian was lying down. Ian gave him a small smile and his eyes were fixed on Xander's face. There were several bandages running at three places on Ian's body and it made Xander's heart break. His brother IAN, the funny one with weird and stupid remarks was shot? He was just not ready to believe it. And before he could phrase his thoughts in a question Allan spoke saying,
