Eames heard the click of the gun.
She turned, looking back to where she had heard the noise.
A man was pointing a gun at Goren's back, a wicked smile on his face.
She saw the man pull the trigger.
Eames had to react.
No, she had to stop the bullet from reaching Goren.
Goren heard what sounded like a bang, turning around.
- Bobby!
He saw Alex step in front of him with her body.
By the look on Alex's face, he knew the bullet had hit him.
She smiled and collapsed to the ground, in front of him, under his helpless eyes.
Goren brought his hands to his face, his eyes exorbitant with fright.
His legs gave way and he fell to the ground.
He approached her gently, not daring to touch her, taking her gently and laying her head on his lap.
- Call 911!
Logan approached the doctor.
- Did she have a chance to survive?
Logan had spoken as quietly as possible, so Goren wouldn't hear.
The doctor nodded.
- The bullet went straight through the heart! He turned his attention to the room where the wounded woman lay. It's incredible that she's still alive!
- Alex, why did you do this? Why did you do this crazy thing?
Alex tried to smile, but she was in so much pain, and it was so hard to breathe.
She brought her hand to her cheek, caressing it.
His big brown eyes looked up at her, brimming with tears.
- Bobby, why are you crying?
He took her hand in his.
He wanted to be strong, not to cry, but it was impossible.
Seeing her in that bed, in that state, was too hard for him.
It was all his fault.
He should have said no, not to accept this blanket!
But on the other hand, he had finally been able to admit how he felt about her.
And last night had been the most wonderful night of his life.
Alex loved him back and she had been his, only his.
- Alex...I want to get married! When you get well we'll look for a little church and we'll get married! I want you to be my wife before God!
He brought Alex's hand to his lips, kissing it.
Logan had just entered the room.
He turned his attention to Alex and Goren, his heart tightening at the sight. And came to stand next to Barek, who was standing there, quietly watching them, his eyes filled with sadness.
He put his hand on her shoulder, she raised her head, looking at Logan, trying as best she could to smile at him.
- Of course, it is what I wish more in the world! Alex could see the tears streaming from Goren's eyes.
Something was wrong! She knew him too well!
Was she going to...
- You're crying Bobby! Why...She paused for a moment to take a breath. Am I dying?
Bobby's face broke down, but he pulled himself together.
Logan and Barek stopped breathing, looking serious.
- Don't talk nonsense, Alex!
Alex knew that Bobby was lying to her, and that he was trying to make her moments less harsh. She understood that she didn't have long to live.
One, because she was having more and more trouble breathing and two, because Bobby was acting like this, dodging her question every time!
He had never been able to lie to her, and today even less.
- I see... It shouldn't have happened like this! When everything is just beginning...The love between you and me...Alex tried to smile. A tear fell from his left eye. It's not time to die! Not now...
- One day we were in Long Island, and we were walking on the beach for a survey. Let's go back, shall we? Bobby moved closer to her, whispering. We worked together, we lived together those years, and it was such a joy...
He looked up.
His heart stopped.
Alex was not breathing, the last tear from her left eye rolled down her cheek.
- Alex... Alex?
No, it couldn't be possible!
Alex couldn't die, she had no right to die!
Not after last night!
Barek threw himself into Logan's arms and cried.
Logan forced himself not to cry, holding Caroline against him.
You shouldn't cry!
But it was so hard!
He saw Goren stand up, straight as a board.
Goren's face was white and decomposed, his lips were trembling, his eyes were empty.
He stood there without any reaction.
This did not bode well.
Mike knew Goren and he knew that in a moment he would explode!
He knew him too well!
And suddenly under the gaze of Logan and Barek, he saw him raise his head and scream, clenching his fists to the sky, so hard that his knuckles turned white.
- Alex! Fists clenched, tears in his eyes, he lowered his head. You're not going to leave like that! He let himself fall to the ground, his hands on the ground. Alex!
Caroline, at this scene, clenched Logan's shirt with her fists, burying her face against Logan's chest, she cried harder.
Logan had done everything he could to hold back his tears, but this was too much and he cried silently, holding Caroline tightly against him.
