Akira
.........

Grandma.

No

It can't be possible.

It has to be a lie.

But it doesn't seem like a lie.

'Ray...... huh? Pretty name, I prefer kitten though. You remember my present, don't you kitten? Here is one more present for you. A reminder. I hope you enjoy it because I did. It was fun to wrap it. I will give another one soon, biggest one. Wait for it okay? And don't be a bad girl. I am watching you.
Love.
XXX'

At first I think of it as a joke then another text pops up and its picture.

Of my grandmother, lying on the road by a park near our home as blood is splattered all around her body.

She looks lifeless.

A reminder.

A reminder of what I have lost long ago.

And it's being repeated.

God no!

Not her, please.

My head swings and I feel the ground moving but Rom is here before I could drop down.

"Ray!"

I hear him but I can't bring myself to say anything. I make an attempt and only a sob comes out.

Snatching my phone, he looks through it.

"Fuck!" He curses and gently touches my face, "Ray, baby listen to me. It's going to be okay. I'm here, yeah? Nothing's going to happen to Elizabeth. I promise."

He lies!

It's not okay.

It's never gonna be okay.

My chest heaves as more sobs escape me.

I hear my phone rings but I don't have it in me to answer it.

Romero does.

"Yeah?... She knows already..... Not now.... No man, she is not fucking okay!.... Tell me what is her condition?" He is silent for a while. "Will she make it, Logan?"

Logan?

I want to talk to him but I can't, its like my whole body has been paralysed.

"We will be there soon." He hangs up.

I watch him helplessly as he dials some number. But my mind is somewhere else.

It's gone back to the night I lost most important people of my life.

That same dark road by the same park I had run off to.

The feeling is same.

Agony.

I recognise it.

This time it is more intense, more painful because I'm miles away from her body and I can't even touch it to try and wake her up.

"Get the damn chopper ready. We'll be there in ten."

He orders someone on other line before focusing on me, "Ray, listen to me. Elizabeth is alive.-"
