Lifeless series 1:Shane's deadly secret
Chapter 4: The great escape
A half dazed Shane remained in the car just starring at the car door, then he made and attempt for the handle. He put his hand on the handle and closed his eyes, he didn't know what to do. He started to have flashbacks of everything that's happened in his life from when he was a toddle to now. He began to blink and shake his head, you could see that something was wrong.
"Shane?" said Vince, Shane just fell back into the seat. Poor Shane began to cry, Vince wanted to hug him but as he went to hug him Shane jumped out of the car. Flashbacks started again, Shane dropped to the ground with his hands on his head.
"No, no, no!" Shane began to yell. He grabbed hold of the bonnet of the car and pulled his self up starring at the doors of the clinic. Vince got out of the car, Shane began to walk closer and closer to the clinic. Once at the clinic doors he put his hand on the handle and thought of the people he cared about. The people he loved. He thought of Marissa, Marissa's parents, his own parents Vince and Linda, he thought Stephanie the sister he helped raise.
Shane was in tears half of him desperate to get back to drugs and half of him desperate to get cured. He opened the doors and went through. He registered himself signing himself into the clinic.
After being in the clinic a little over a week the McMahon's started to visit, the first visitor being Stephanie. Who might have well have just being talking to herself as Shane wasn't paying her any attention at all. He just sat starring through a window looking out towards the fountain and pond. Steph began to cry and rushed out the clinic, she couldn't believe her own brother wanted nothing to do with her. The following day Linda arrived and just starred at her son, a tear fell from her eye. Her son had gone, with only his shell behind. Or at least that's what it looked like. You only had to look at Shane's face and you could see his pain. After a few hours Linda left but not before giving Shane a kiss on the cheek and telling him how much he meant to her.
Just over two months Shane spent in the clinic without any visitors. Linda, Vince, Steph and Marissa had all agreed that it's best that Shane makes the first move. But he didn't, he never ever tried to contact any of his family or friends. His thoughts were "why should he?" When the clinic felt Shane was fit enough to be let home again they let him go. They asked him if there was anyone he wanted them to ring to pick him up and he just said no. Instead he just walked over 15 miles to an old place he use to goto as a child before finally returning home. No sooner was Shane home did he pack his bags and book a one way ticket to Switzerland. The very next day he was away and never even left a message for any of his family.
When he arrived at Switzerland he checked in to a lovely hotel near the mountains. He stayed there a few weeks before buying himself an apartment. Shane hadn't gone over to Switzerland on holiday but he had emigrated and had no intentions of going back home to the U.S.A. Shane got through emigration easily just on the amount of money he had. After buying an apartment Shane began to start up his own business. A winter sports business that specialized in curling ,ski jumping and snowboarding. His business also had a small shop selling all sorts of winter sports gear. He simple named his business Oceanic leisure.
With the amount of money Shane was withdrawing he was easily traced by Vince. No sooner did Vince find out where Shane was, did he book a flight to go and see him. Once in Switzerland Vince hesitated about seeing Shane. The last thing he wanted to do was upset Shane anymore than he already was. He thought that Shane living in Switzerland may have been a good thing. He had been told that Shane had his own business and was doing rather well.
He loved his son and could only imagine his pain. He had never really got over having cancer but had just pushed it to the back of his mind. Although it had been so long Shane was still suffering the fear of knowing that the cancer could come back and wanted to be happy. But he wasn't, which is why he turned to drugs after being told by a mate that heroin does wonders for your feelings. Vince only wished that he could have worked out Shane's reasons for heroin at the begging rather than now. For being slow on understanding Vince had as good as lost his only son.
In the end Vince did goto see Shane, but not to talk to him or even let Shane know that he was there. Instead he just stood his distance and watched Shane help young children to play curling. He watched Shane cheer for the children when they did it right and he watched his own son speak a whole new language. The German/Swiss language. Vince could see that Shane was happy or happy enough and left Switzerland.
When Vince returned home he informed Marissa that if she wanted to be with Shane there was only one place to go, Switzerland. Marissa didn't hesitate and flew to Switzerland, when she arrived she did her best to speak Swiss german and find Shane. When she found Shane and saw what appeared to be a happy Shane so full of life and happiness she began to think if coming to Switzerland in an attempt to win back Shane was a good idea after all.
