AN: See? I told you that I was going to post a sequel soon after I finished the last story. The time will be about a year after the last story, and things will pick up from there, smoothly I hope. Thanks, and here we go.

Chapter One: Shattered Peace of Mind

Even after all of that time has passed, Alexander was still thinking about what he helped Michael Harris achieve. Michael Harris, who was engaged to Miley Stewart at the moment, found out that his father was hiding out in Canada, and Michael came out here with his close friend David Falcone. With Alexander and his club's help they not only found his father, but the woman who did the kill, and attempted to kill Michael as well. Alexander didn't see Michael do it, but he knew that Michael did the job on Carla, and even his old man. Again, Alexander and David did not see him do it, but he was willing to bet everything that he owned that he did the job.

All this talk about revenge and parents made Alexander think about his own parents. Alexander, Seth, and Melissa's father died from a heart attack. Alexander was at home when he saw him have the heart attack, because he was not feeling well all day and did not want to leave his father all alone at home that day. It didn't matter, though, because he died later that day in the hospital, with Seth, himself, and their older sister Melissa at his side, along with close friends and family.

Even though losing his dad was tragic, Alexander nor his siblings can't forget what happened to their mom. Alexander remembered all too well, because he saw it first hand as a man came into their home, forced their mother to her knees, and executed her. That was something that Alexander was never going to forget. It made him what he was today, and that is something that Michael and David knew all too well. Tragic events, witnessing them as well, can shape you and how you grow up, even what you become. All that matters is that you use what happens to you in your past to do good.

If you think about it, Alexander was doing just that. The club that he was a part of, they were built primarily of men that had done time in jail, in the past. Alexander Sr., Alexander dad, had a garage, and when he heard about some of his friends who got out of jail who had trouble finding work due to their criminal history, he put them to work at his garage, and long story short, that is how the Flames of Canada, occasionally partnering with SAMCRO, came to be.

Brief History lesson over, and getting back to the topic at hand, while Alexander was glad to help out his new friends Michael and David, he could tell that he was more than likely going to require their help sometime in the near future.

......

Again, even though it was a while since Michael and David were out there in Canada, the Venturi-McDonald household, mainly Derek and Casey, still felt the effects of what Michael, David, and Alexander did. So, after Michael and David left, there was some damage control that needed to be done. Alexander and his club did their best to keep a lid on what happened. Needless to say, they were able to do what they could, and it was good enough that what happened then was rarely brought up.

Alexander was glad that everyone he knew and everyone he considered to be a member of his family was able to get back to normal. Whatever normal meant to Alexander, Derek, or Casey, this was not exactly it, but it was close. Life was getting back to normal, and Alexander was glad that it was.

......

"Hey Alexander, have you ever heard of Miley Stewart?" Derek asked Alexander out of the blue. Derek and Alexander were in his room while his brother Seth was out.

"Yeah, she's engaged to Michael Harris. He was out here a year ago, and I helped him with that situation with his dad. Why bring that up?" Alexander asked his friend.

"I can't believe that his friend is from New York! He's a Yankee fan!" Derek said, kind of getting angry.

"So? Why are you talking about David when you asked me about Miley?" Alexander laughed.

"Listen. Marti was a fan of hers, and she has been begging me to get her autograph." Derek said.

"I supposed to do, what exactly?" Alexander asked him.

"Get her an autograph from Miley Stewart?" Derek asked Alexander.

Alexander just stared at him.

"Uh, please?" Derek asked him.

Alexander just stared at him.

"Say something!" Derek said.

"I was just thinking why we are friends." Alexander said.

"So I should take that as a maybe?" Derek asked innocently.

Alexander growled, and began throwing random things at his friend.

"Hey, quit it! You're gonna hurt me!" Derek said, ducking out of the way and throwing things back at him.

"I know! Why do you think that I am aiming at your head!?" Alexander yelled.

......

After Derek left the house, Alexander sat on the porch of his home, just staring at the clear sky above him. It was little moments like this that made him feel less high-strung. All he was doing was relaxing, looking at the blue sky above him, and it was doing something so normal that made him feel as though nothing was going to happen.

He smiled, and leaned back, looking at the sky above them. Alexander heard footsteps approach him.

"Yeah?" Alexander asked, whoever it was.

"I figured that out of all of these years, you would have recognized me by now." Casey said. Alexander snapped his head towards her, and smiled easily.

"Sorry, just relaxing." Alexander smiled. Casey returned the greeting, and sat next to him.

"So, what brings you over my way?" Alexander asked her.

"I just had the most interesting conversation with my dad." Casey said. Alexander sighed, and ran a hand through his hair.

As noted, Dennis, Casey's father, and Alexander were not exactly friends. Dennis didn't like that his daughter had a boyfriend that was a criminal. Alexander wasn't a criminal, but the guys that he hung out with, and the club that he ran were not exactly law friendly. If you thought about it, the only one that was remotely squeaky clean was his brother Seth, and you can argue about that if you thought about it.

"I am going to regret asking you this, but what did you two talk about?" Alexander asked her, bracing himself for the answer.

"Well," Casey began, "I was just chatting with him, and then he asked me if you were being well behaved."

"What? Why was he asking you that?" Alexander said.

"I don't know. I guess he was wondering if you did anything or seeing if I would break up with you if you did something horrible." Casey said.

All Alexander could do was shake his head. He kind of knew that the relationship, or lack there of, between the two of them was kind of shaky, but that really was questionable of Dennis to do. Dennis was looking out for his daughter, and he had to respect that, but it did kind of grate on Alexander's nerves.

"Wow. I get that he is looking out for you, but wow." Alexander said. "Is he ever going to trust me?"

"In due time." Casey said. "He's my dad, and I am his oldest daughter. He is just being protective."

Something was off with Casey, as she sat there talking to him. Alexander just couldn't put his finger on it, but he also felt that there was another reason for her to come over and talk to him, because she rarely, if ever, came over to talk to him about a conversation with her father, even if it agitated her.

Maybe I am just getting paranoid. Alexander thought to himself.

"I have to head back."

As Casey stood up to walk back to her house, Alexander noticed that she was a little bit off on her feet.

"Whoa, are you alright?" Alexander said, immediately hopping up to help her.

"Yeah, I am just not feeling well." Casey said. "I'll be fine."

Casey kissed Alexander goodbye, and walked back to her house. Alexander felt uneasy as he watched her walk away, but he felt that was just because he was overprotective of her. He sighed, and walked into his home.

......

That night, when Casey was feeling better, she went out to hang out with some of her friends from school at a nearby restaurant. She was laughing, having a good time, and caught a glimpse of what time it was. It really was getting late. She bid her friends a goodbye, and walked out to the car she came here in.

As she was walking out to the car she came here in, she got the feeling that someone was watching her. She tried to pay it no mind, but as she got to her car...

"Excuse me." A voice came out.

Casey turned around, and then there was a loud bang. She flinched for a moment, and then when she looked down, and saw blood coming from her stomach. She looked at the man, and he fired again, hitting her in the shoulder. That shot knocked her into the car, and she slid to the ground.

The man who shot her stood over her, and he aimed at her, intent on finishing her off. There was a loud click, and when he realized that he might be discovered, he left.

Casey stared out into the night sky, before blacking out.

AN: This story is a remake somewhat of an earlier story that I did with sort of the same storyline. This will be updated in the near future.
