Chapter 4: Are you ok?

Tony opened his eyes with difficulty; he had a bad headache and his entire body was aching. He stared at the clock on his night stand and groaned; it was 4 p.m; he had slept for almost 13 hours.

He had no desire to get up but he forced himself to. He headed to his living room and he felt his body relax, his entire family was there and he felt better having them around.

He sat on the counter and his mother - without a word – handed him a cup of coffee which he accepted gratefully. He felt hands sneak around his shoulders and he turned to give his sister Anna a weak smile which she returned by a bright one.

Anna was his twin and his closest sister. She understood him perfectly well so she just stood behind him drawing circles on his shoulders. She didn't know how to express her feelings with words so she tried to convey with her touches how she felt.

Time passed as no body said a word then the silence was interrupted when the bell rang. Tony didn't move a muscle so his youngest sister went to answer it.

Amy came back seconds later followed by George Mason. There was a prolonged silence after the introductions until Mason broke it: "Her trial will be in 2 weeks".

Tony raised his head in confusion: "Trial? What trial! For God's sake George, she is a traitor. We have the evidence that condemn her and still they're prosecuting her. She doesn't deserve that, the only thing she deserves is to be locked in a maximum security prison for the rest of her pathetic life, no actually she deserves to be executed".

George noticed how harsh Tony's words sounded, it was like they weren't involved but he knew that's the reason for Tony's cruel words so he just replied: "she has rights Tony".

Tony jumped to his feet and started pacing the room at that comment; he was so angry and frustrated. George got worried; Tony looked as if he wanted to kill somebody so he asked: "Are you ok?".

Suddenly, Tony couldn't control himself anymore, he practically screamed: "ok? Don't you think you are asking the wrong man George? I'm alive, aren't I? And so are all my beloved ones. The one you should be asking lives across the town. Go and tell him that the bitch that killed his wife and unborn child has rights and don't worry about me, I'm terrific.

With that, he smashed a mirror with his fist. Every body jumped in horror when the broken glass injured him. His hand was bleeding badly but he just watched the blood as if it wasn't his.

Mason was terrified; he had never seen Tony like that. He watched the blood gushing from Tony's hand and said: "he needs to see a doctor", Margrette pushed him aside and wrapped a towel around Tony's hand while replying: "I'm a doctor".

Mason kept glancing at Tony as his mother fixed his hand but Tony avoided his gaze. When his mother finished, he looked up and said: "I'm sorry George; I didn't mean to snap at you, I know that's the law and there is nothing you can do. I just….I feel so helpless and betrayed, I can't believe what happened, I don't understand why she sold us all out, she had a great life and she threw it away, just like that and for what? What possible reason could justify her actions? I feel so lost"

Mason sighed heavily: "I don't understand it too. I wish I have some answers but I don't. look Tony, um, I can't claim to understand how you feel, I am sure you feel 100 times worse than I do but the only thing we can do right now is to move on, I know it's easier to be said than to be done but we have to try".

He was about to leave when Tony stopped him: "George, what is going on with Jack? Please don't tell me that Chappelle and Hammond are acting like their usual selves and are going to press charges"

Mason shook his head slowly: "They won't, all Jack's actions had been tolerated – thanks to your testimony actually – so it'll pass, plus after what happened, no one will dare to even try and incriminate him but I don't know if he'll run CTU again"

He eyed Tony as he lowered his head to the ground: "stop thinking about what happened Tony and don't try to analyze it because it won't make any sense. Listen, Teri's funeral is tomorrow at 11 a.m so I'll see you there. It was a pleasure to meet all of you, I wish if it happened in better circumstances"

He nodded briefly at Tony then left as Tony shut his eyes in agony.
