With that, the race began. Kole's life was slowly drifting away as Molly and Kelly raced to save him. Molly finally read the note, what she saw broke her heart. It was exactly what you think.

A suicide note. Kole wanted to die or so Molly thought. Her heart shattering, she called Charlie. Reading the note aloud to him was the most painful thing she'd been through. As she spoke the words she felt his pain.

" Dear Molly, I know I've betrayed you and I know you think it's all over now but I will continue to harm you, my love, I'm a Delmarno, and you cannot Change your reputation. I hope you live the best version of your life, love. I was never good enough for you. In this, I will admit what I have done to you. I'm sure that in knowing my darkest secrets, you will be okay with my decision."

"I've killed seventeen people in my lifetime, my first at the age of eight. I cheated on everything there is to cheat on; ex girlfriends, tests and even my way to the heir of my fathers legacy, Kelly is the oldest it was meant to be hers. I forced Charlie to oppress his love for my sister out of pure jealousy and I dragged you into a life of guns, drugs and murder. To top all of that, I am an addict. And you have become my newest addiction, I refuse to ruin you. I love you but not as well as you deserve, I am not capable of love. Sincerest apologies - Kole Delmarno."

Suffering, Molly choked on her tears. "I know where he is." Mumbled Charlie declining the call.

Like hell would I let my best friend die, just because of a bit of guilt? Of the seventeen men Kole had personally killed, not to mention the murders he ordered, and he would regret the one that wanted to kill his girl?

I was angry, how dare that bastard leave me. As Molly read the note to me I turned my direction to the warehouse.

If he was feeling guilty about Max that's the first place he would go. Kelly had taken her car now, having left it at The Hound, so I was alone. As I sped, I began the maths of it all. If Kole has dropped that note only around twenty minutes before, it would take him at least ten to get to the warehouse.

If he'd taken himself away by oxygen I had time. If he'd used a gun, depending on the place, I only had seconds.

Around three minutes later I made it to the warehouse. But it was empty. Nothing in sight.
At first, I thought I'd been wrong, he hadn't come here which meant he wasn't guilty about Max. Full of anger, I punched into the wall. I looked down... the weights weren't there. They weren't where they were supposed to be.

But why would he use weights? Unless he wanted to drown... there was a lake outside. "Charlie you smart bastard!" I cried. As I ran, I began maths again.

It'd have taken him two minutes to get the weights and carry them to the lake considering how heavy there were so he would have been down there for approximately three minutes and thirty-two seconds. I had around 28 seconds before brain damage or death, if not already.

I jumped into the lake, and I saw it. Or shall I say him... floating. I unchained him and pushed him upwards to the surface, following him up.

As we emerged, I seen him above water, pale and cold as ice. I began dragging him to the land and pushed him up, to be met by a hand. "I got him!" Yelled Tyrano. Just behind him I saw Molly and Kelly come running.

"I called an ambulance!" Molly cried down to me. Sure enough, we heard the sirens. I began CPR as best I knew it, if I knew it.

The paramedics soon joined me, they pushed me out the way and covered Kole, beginning their own CPR. My head pounding. My heart racing. Kelly pulled me into a hug and we cried together. Maybe it was time for me to say goodbye.
