She went through the back door and immediately placed her helmet on the shelf to her right.
“What happened?” She immediately asked when she saw the faces of the kitchen staff.
“Alex, Kathleen was here a while ago,” Sally started.
Alex’s mouth formed into a thin and tight line and immediately went to the dining area. Thankfully, there are no customers inside. She stopped short when she saw Ashley, with her tear-stained face and looking shaken, she had a suspicion of what might have happened. Their aunt is currently comforting her.
“What did she do?!” Alex demanded, clutching her fist. She walked towards her sister and looked down at her, concern on her face as well as anger. &ldquo

Zach watched tersely as Damon pulled out a chair for Alex to sit and accepted the jacket she took off. They entered a not so crowded Mediterranean restaurant and were led to a private booth seating at one side of the establishment that has full-height glass windows with a picturesque view of the garden the restaurant has.“Thank goodness it’s not crowded, considering it’s a Friday,” Jacinta commented after everyone has seated. She turned to Zach and smiled up at him. “Remember when you first took me here back then? I was so distraught that time after losing a patient on the table, and you decided to bring me here to wallow my frustration in food.”“Yeah, well I do know that food helps you feel better,” Zach replied with a smile. He turned to the two. “Have you experienced losing a comrade, Alex?”He noted that Alex shifted uncomfortably and saw Damon placed a hand on her knee that irritated him.

Alex scanned her ID the following day as she arrived at the office and immediately proceeded to her cubicle. She placed her bag inside the filing cabinet under her table and automatically turned on her computer.She heard her phone sound for a message notification.“Hi, Alex! I’ll be discharge in a few minutes,” Ashley informed in her message. “Malc’s here beside me while we’re waiting for Aunt V from downstairs. Please come home early this afternoon so we can have dinner together. I promise that I will rest today so you don’t need to call from time to time to check on it. I mean it, Alex.”“I can pass by and buy some dessert later,” Alex replied with a smile, typing on her phone. “How about cheesecake? Anyway, you are going to rest. It’s very tempting right now to just laze all day, doing nothing.”“I mean it, Alex,” her sister immediately replied. “Don’

Zach stepped on the brakes of his car as he arrived at the Clementine North High School parking lot where several police cars had already filled up. He immediately went out, shouting orders over the radio, calling for his agents to assemble at the command center.He saw Malcolm talking with one of his men, looking down at the floor plan of the campus they were able to procure. He could hear them discussing possible entry points as he approached them.“We were able to infiltrate their CCTV system,” Malcolm informed when he looked up. “My men are just connecting the monitors to for visuals. Information so far, we had received that it’s a group of men, around ten of them. They are targeting the two sons of a businessman and we’re still narrowing the identity.”“Are there students who managed to escape?” Zach asked.Malcolm pointed at one direction where police officers are escorting and guiding them out, tellin

Alex stayed behind Mark, pointing her firearm on the ground as the agents in front of them rammed through the door. She immediately noticed that the hallway is dimly lit from the emergency lights that were strategically placed.“We’re in,” Mark informed over the radio. “The gym is fifty feet away from our position.“We’re by the locker rooms of the gym already,” she heard Zachary’s voice.She looked towards the hallway and caught a glimpse of the SWAT team from the window going through the entrance opposite from where they went in. She could hear muffled cries from the gym as well as shouts and orders from the gunmen.“We need to split up,” Mark instructed.Alex pulled out her phone and checked the images of the plan that Zach had sent to them before they took off. She looked at the location of the gym as well it’s neighboring areas. She then pocketed it and let the rifle hang over h

Alex placed the tray of empty plates and glasses on top of the counter the following late Monday morning and smiled as the waitress manning the counter, took them immediately and brought it towards the kitchen. She then resumed arranging the vacated tables, arranging the chairs.She then grabbed the mop she left leaning on one counter and started mopping the floor. She looked up when she heard the bell from the entrance sound and frowned.Vincent Worthington, her stepfather’s stepbrother walked inside the diner and stopped when he saw her. He gave out a wave at her aunt, who appeared behind the counter from the kitchen.“I’ll have some coffee ready for you,” Vicky called out politely.“Very domestic,” he drawled as he sat on one table and gestured for Alex to sit as well.“Very clever as well by calling my aunt that you’re coming,” she countered tightly as she sat on the chair, facing him. &ldqu

Zachary opened his eyes, removing his hand from the back of Jacinta’s neck when she finally pulled away and rolled off on top of him on a Wednesday morning. He cradled her to his side as she snuggled up to him, kissing his uninjured shoulder.“For someone who just got out of the hospital, you still know how to make me happy and sated,” she said with a teasing smile on her face. She propped her elbow up, supporting her head while her other hand drew circles on his broad chest, caressing the few hairs lightly.“Well, I haven’t fully paid my doctor yet,” he commented with a grin.Jacinta laughed as she straddled one leg over his and rested her chin on his chest.“I can collect the remaining balance later,” she replied jokingly. “I need to get ready to do some rounds on my patients. I’ll be back early afternoon.”Zach playfully pouted, not wanting her to go.“Can’t you

Alex surfaced from the water at Boulder Coast beach and walked back towards the shore, running both hands over her wet hair and then shook her arms to removed excess water on her skin. She saw Damon stood up from their spot and grabbed her towel.With her height and physical form, Alex is aware of people looking at her. With the sunset behind her, the image she projected to the onlookers are jaw dropping. During her younger years, several talent and modelling scouts had approached her, inviting her to audition but she paid no heed and declined them politely. But that didn’t stop them from trying to convinced her.“You should have chosen the modeling life,” Damon drawled as he placed the towel around her shoulders, immediately covering the scars on her back. “If you did before, I’m sure you’re already touring the world.”“I am touring the world with the job I am in,” she returned defensively. She walked beside

Zach, with a splitting headache, groaned as he opened his eyes, holding his head rolled onto his back and stared up at the ceiling, wondering how he ended there. All he could recall was that he went with Alex and Damon to Boulder Coast.“I want to sit at the front,” he insisted firmly when Alex was opening the door. He gave her a dull look as he placed a hand on top of the door and got inside the passenger seat. “Thanks for opening, Walters.”“Piss off,” she cursed as she slammed the door and finally got inside the car, situating herself behind Damon. She put her shades on. “I’m all set.”Damon then droves off towards the beach, starting a general conversation to which Alex would reply from time to time. By the time he parked at the beach parking lot, the sun was already high up.“Just right on time for lunch,” Damon commented as he opened the door for Alex. He raised his phone to her. &ldq

Alex finally opened her eyes and stared at herself in the mirror, standing up.After taking off from the scene where she was ambushed by Saood’s men, she went to one place, which she only knows. A small house outside the city that she bought with cash from the money she had saved over her years of service.She turned on the tap and reached for the towel, hanging on the wall and let it soak with water. Carefully, she started to take off her clothes, breathing heavily at the pain she is feeling in her body. She finally resorted to cutting the fabric with the scissors she found in the drawer. She glanced when her phone on the counter rang and saw Damon calling.She ignored it.“Alex, promise me one thing if it ever gets to a drastic situation,” Julia told her one time when they were having a break. “If ever my life will be ended, do it with your bullet. I don’t want theirs. I’d rather die from yours.”“That’s not going to happen, Jul,” Alex argued lightly. “We’re not going to die early.

Zach finally took off his helmet when the last man on his team finally appeared at their meeting place, three hours from the time they started scouting Gallagher Enterprise’s building. He nodded when Gavin informed Buchanan over the radio that his team are all accounted for.“Let’s head back to base,” he firmly instructed as he opened the car door.When he was about to go inside, his head abruptly turned at the sound of sirens. He rushed towards the corner of the street and watched the direction the cars are heading into.“Check with the station on its whereabouts,” he ordered his agent loudly. He pulled out his phone when he felt it vibrating and saw Damon calling on the line. “Montgomery.”“Head towards The Raven Pub,” Damon said immediately. “There’s trouble with the extraction.”The call then ended.Zach shouted at his team and they immediately took off. He cursed darkly, knowing full well that it has something to do with Alex. He doesn’t have to ask about it. The tone in Buchanan

Alex casually looked at her watch and frowned when she’s been waiting for fifteen minutes already inside the room that she has been told to enter and wait. She stood up and walked around the room several times, her hand touching the wall surface lightly before finally stopping in front of the large viewing panel.She stared at herself, knowing that it’s a one-way glass and the one on the other side is for sure staring at her, studying her carefully. She moved a few inches to her left.What the f8ck do you want with me, Marshall? She thought hardly as she stayed on her ground for a long while. She crossed her arms and arched an eyebrow. Do you want me to stand here all night long or do you want me to show you something that you know I can do?“Game’s up, Marshall,” Alex finally said impatiently. She walked back to her chair and sat down. “I’m not going to play your game tonight. I can get myself out through that exhaust duct at the left corner and you’ll be waiting outside. You took th

Zach stared at Buchanan furiously, his insides boiling when he realized that he has been bugged. He was able to find out when Elise went to his apartment yesterday afternoon and beeping sounds came from her device, that detects different types of bugs.He immediately had Elise and Gavin along with himself, checked his entire apartment from top to bottom. After an hour, he returned to the small office room and found five devices that could hear, track and intercept information sent to him.“Good to see that you’re still on your toes, then,” Buchanan only replied dryly.“You f8cking, conniving -,” Zach snarled.“He gets it!” Alex interrupted rudely as she stepped forward and looked at him haughtily. “Besides, if your mind is somewhere other than what’s under your pants, you would have known it immediately.”Zach turned his anger towards her and before he could stop himself, he had her by the neck and pushing her on the wall, his eyes filled with rage. He gripped her neck hardly when her

Alex sat casually on the couch with her eyes close back at the safe house and listened while Damon is talking on the phone with Director Marshall on a Tuesday morning. She smirked when she heard him lowered his voice, sure that the director is now turning his anger on her.“Did you give Marshall my regards?” Alex asked with a smirk when Damon ended the call.A frown appeared on Damon’s face as he typed on his phone, his mouth set in a firm and angry line. By the look of it, she knew that he is holding his anger over something.“You deliberately ignored the instructions of not going to see your mother!” Damon finally exploded at her. He turned towards her his eyes filled with anger. “What is it with you on following orders, Alex?! F8ck you! Do you know the danger that you placed our family into?!”“I took extra steps to make sure that I’m not followed!” Alex answered back.“Marshall was able to!”“Because he knew me well enough to do that!!” She yelled at him.Damon’s eyes narrowed at

Zach opened his eyes, squinting from the rays of the sun coming through the window, at the sound of his phone vibrating on the side table. He rubbed his eyes before reaching for his phone and stared at the time.F8ck! He thought when it read ten in the morning.He turned towards his side and saw Alex, with her back to him, still sleeping, her body going up and down steadily. His gaze traveled towards the scars on her back and remained there for a while.Most of her scars had already lightened on her skin and could only be seen if one scrutinizes it well. Those that are still visible were during her encounter a few weeks ago at the stadium and then he noted some small cuts as well that looks to be a day old.Dammit, Walters, he cursed in his mind, recalling the explosion last night. He sat up gently and looked down at his phone, seeing encrypted messages, which he knew came from Elise. Making sure that Alex won’t be alerted, he stood up slowly and picked up his shorts on the floor, put

She looked up and saw Zach hovering above her as he placed each hand on her side, trapping her.“What do you mean I have to keep him distracted the entire tomorrow?” Alex scoffed a few hours ago when Damon called her. She closed the door to the unit and proceeded to the kitchen, opening the ref and reached for a beer. “Damon, I went through one of my biggest nightmares and now that?!”“Colton informed me that he caught Elise sending an encrypted message to Montgomery,” Damon explained coldly. “Julia and Murray will be sneaking into his townhouse to bug all his tech. We need whatever info that he will be getting, Alex. You know that.”“Why does it have to be that tactic?” Alex asked. “I can just knock him out cold or spike his drink until we’re done. His phone’s got the tracker and bug as well. Shouldn’t that be eno

He went out from the car and proceeded to her unit and then punched the security code to her door. He then went inside, securing the door by bolting it properly, he looked around the dimly lit unit before proceeding to the kitchen opened the refrigerator. He reached for a bottle of beer, opened it and downed it immediately. He needed the alcohol to calm his nerves and make him sleep immediately. Instead of staying for three hours as he had told Alex, he extended another two hours when aside from the gas leak that the investigators had found, one in the bomb squad team discovered three IED explosives. Zach then realized that those three were the reason why the entire building was wrecked. He frowned when he saw there was no more beer left inside the ref and then looked at the counter and saw four empty b

Alex struggled from Zachary’s tight hold as the building in front of her eyes is being engulfed in large flames and collapsing. She shouted in despair as there was another explosion and she tried to elbow him to loosened his hold on her.“Let go of me!” She shouted angrily. “Ashley! Aunt Vickie!”“Get a hold of yourself, Walters!” Zach yelled back at her. He pulled her back with his one hand while his other hand reached for his phone and pressed a number. “This is Montgomery. There’s an explosion here at Urban Diner and I need all responding agencies immediately!”Feeling herself weakening at the sight in front of her, Alex dropped on her knees, tears streaming down her cheeks unmercifully. She could hear Zach talking to her but she could hardly hear him as she watched the diner, she had painstakingly put up with her aunt go down from the flames.The sound of sirens can now be heard and when Alex turned at one direction a strong jet of water finally appeared and started putting out th
