CHAPTER ONE
In New Jersey, Lexa visited the graves of her parents. She was sitting in the porch having a coffee before leaving. Reminiscing about her past she has come a long way to obtain what she is right now. Her dad, Gustus, is a well known for being one of the best in the agency in CIA. He stepped down in the agency and work as a police officer when he met her wife Indra and settled in to have a family. Gustus wanted to be close in his family especially when Alexandria Woods was born. Gustus was a good father who always wanted to be there for her daughter all the time and he wants a normal life for Alexandria which was never been a privilege from his past. He wanted her daughter to have a simple and normal life growing up with his mom and dad. Little did they know that being a CIA agent was tough as hell as a job. Gustus was a good agent and caught a lot of high end gangsters and top leading drug lords. Gustus had been thru a lot to keep his family safe. Indra in the other hand knows the risks to keep Alexandria safe so she was with her all the time. She wanted also what is best for her daughter.
One afternoon when Gustus was running home, he noticed something on the way into the house. Gustus slowly steps inside the house with guns on this hands. He slowly went inside and check every corner. Later on, he heard someone called his name in the living room.
"Gustus...Gustus...Gustus, you owe me something and I am planning to ask for the payment", the guy said.
Gustus slowly raised his hand when he saw his wife Indra tied up in the chair with Alexandria on the side. He pleaded, "Please, release my family. They are not what you need, you can have me. Please release them, they are innocent."
Alexandria crying, "Daddy, daddy, please help us. This man is trying to hurt us, daddy please."
"Baby! Relax don't cry. Daddy will fix this. Be strong okay," Gustus assured. "Murphy, my family is not part of these. We can talk outside and settle this as men."
Murphy was mad, really mad that he shouted, "You MORON! you took someone from me, of course I will take someone from you. For 5 years, I planned this and looked for you. Now, I finally found you and surely I will take revenge for what you did to my brother."
"Your brother was a tyrant that put a lot of people in danger. I never wanted this to happen to him," Gustus said.
"Shut up! you took my only family Gustus. He was my only family. You could have arrested him, not take his life away." Murphy was holding the gun on Indra's head. "You took something from me, I will let you experience what I lost this 5 years. It was in agony without him around."
Both men are exchanging words while Alexandria was slowly secretly untying Indra from the ropes that was attached on the chair. Once Indra was free she tried to get Alexandria and run-out of the house. Murphy was about to take the shot to them but Gustus had ran in front and he was shot in the abdomen. Murphy then ran to catch the two but the girls had escape in the car. Indra drove away from the house and brought Alexandria to the house of her uncle Titus (brother of Gustus).
Indra knock the door, "Titus, this is an emergency, I need you to take Alexandria. I need to go back in the house and check on Gustus. There's a guy, Murphy, who went inside and started shooting. I need to see if Gustus is okay. Please take care of my daughter." Titus grab Alexandria and patted Indra to show his sympathy and nod to confirm that it's okay for Alexandria to stay to assure her that its safe.
Indra drove back into the house, but unexpectedly, Murphy was still there hiding. Indra started to help Gustus to be lifted but it was too late since Murphy was standing in her back and shot her on the head. Indra was now lying on the floor with Gustus, lifeless. News had spread that both cops were shot dead inside the house and daughter is missing.
Titus saw the news and decided to keep Alexandria safe/hidden to avoid any conflicts with the cartel people who was after his father. Titus who was one of the elite officers in CIA had trained Alexandria to be tough and ready at all times. To keep her identity hidden she had called her Lexa for her own safety. Little Lexa, started to train a lot to be one of the best and become a survivor. Lexa had been thru a lot that kept herself confine to her boundaries and solely trust her instinct not to be involved with anyone. Titus always told him, "Love is a weakness, so never be involved cause you will end up the same as your father." Lexa grow up thinking love is a weakness tried to stay away from anyone. She juggle to be in school to be one of the best and after school she trained with his uncle Titus.
Out of trance with reminiscing the past, Lexa was cut-off when her phone rang and saw it was Titus.
"Hello, you need to come back now since we have an update on the file. I need you to keep progressing Lexa," said Titus.
Lexa confirm, " yes, I will be there."
