His Worst Nightmare.
Chapter 36.
East Harlem NY.
It had taken every last piece of strength that she possessed for her to drag herself to her cell phone. She had faked her death in the hope that Copa would release her.
She was in a lot of pain as she called her friend at the hospital, she was also feeling dizzy. She felt down to between her legs and was shocked when she felt that it was wet.
As Copa straddled her, he had kneed her hard in her stomach and placed his entire weight on her. It would seem that her waters had burst, she was suddenly racked with agonizing pain and as she brought her hand up and looked at it, she realized that it wasn't just fluids, there was also blood!
She vaguely remembered hearing sirens before she lost consciousness.
Inwood NY.
They sat on the couch in her father's living room. She knew the last thing he wanted was pit , but she had let him know that she was there for him and that she loved him.
Bobby's brain was on overload with everything that had happened these past months. He realized that what he had already lost was nothing in comparison to losing Alex.
Copa had made it clear that he was after everything that he loved. With the photo's he knew that he loved Alex. Surprisingly though, he felt no hate towards Copa, that would change if he ever harmed Alex though. He had to make sure that she was safe. He knew it was going to be hard to convince Alex that she needed protection.
He reached over and stroked her face, all he could see was the love she felt for him in her eyes and he knew she saw it in his too.
"Alex, I know that you're worried. Believe me the loss of all my possessions, is nothing compared to losing you. We both know that he will be after you next. I know you are capable of taking care of yourself, more than capable. You have to accept the fact though, that I cannot allow for him to get near you. I would never survive if I lost you."
He ran his fingers into her hair and pulled her towards him and sealed his lips over hers. He kissed her with all the love and passion he had conveying everything he felt for her through their contact.
When he broke the kiss he rested his forehead against hers.
Alex needed a few minutes to recover from the kiss. She ran her hands over the stubble on his cheek. She had never loved anybody as much as she loved Bobby, not even Joe. Nothing mattered to her anymore; she just wanted to spend the rest of her life with him to grow old with him. She thought about what he had said, and usually it would have annoyed her that he felt she needed to be protected.
They had been partners for so long and she knew that he was aware that she was more than capable of looking out for herself. This was Bobby though, his heart was on the line here and she couldn't get tough and snarky at his suggestion. He had already lost so much.
She ran her fingers under his jaw and lifted his face up to hers so that they were looking into each other's eyes.
"What is it, that you want me to do Bobby?"
At first he was shocked, he had counted on resistance.
"I can't lose you too Alex, I need to know that you are safe. He is crazy enough to try anything. He knows you are armed so it is my guess that he will use a firearm. I have read his file, he is a former marine. Promise me that you will always wear a vest. I can't expect you to stay at your dad's, in his protection till this is over. I have to be out there looking for him, it would ease my mind if you were vested up, I know you would never agree to stay here, and I wouldn't expect it. I want you to be with me so that I can protect you."
Alex leaned towards him and kissed his lips.
"I will make a deal. I will wear my vest if you agree to wear yours too. This is a two way street Bobby, I have already lost my husband. I know I would never get over losing you too."
Bobby smiled at her and agreed to her terms, their kiss was interrupted by Bobby's cell phone ringing.
Hartford Connecticut.
Barry Carlson had been enjoying a peaceful evening with his wife. After his divorce from Nelda, he had met Hanna and six months later they had married and bought a house closer to where he worked. His wife had just gone to make them some popcorn when the doorbell rang. He got to his feet with a sigh and walked over and opened the door.
He was shocked to be facing his ex-wife. Within seconds all hell let loose, they were surrounded by police all shouting at Nelda to drop the gun and raise her hands in the air.
It was only then that he realized she had been pointing it at him and the tears that were running down her face.
Nelda looked at Barry and knew she could never pull the trigger… she still loved him too much, and could never hurt him. She had hoped that his new wife would open the door.
She had not seen the police who were outside and watching his house, in her rush to be with him. She also knew that she was not going to go back to prison. She smiled at Barry unable to stop her tears.
"I never stopped loving you Barry please know that. I'm sorry for all the pain I put you through I was a bad wife. Please forgive me."
With one last smile at Barry she raised her gun and turned towards the police officers, who were standing behind her. She heard a gunshot then everything went black. She was dead before she hit the ground.
