A blonde woman pulled away from Jesse's kiss as they stood on the porch of
her elaborate house.
"I really have to go to bed," she said. "I have to be on the set by six." Dr. Travis looked at his watch.
"That's four hours away, Alexis. I've seen you work on less." She shook her head with a little laugh.
"I love you, Jess, but I really need a few hours of sleep," Alexis said. "I'll be at the hospital for lunch."
"Okay," Jesse replied. "One more kiss?" He gave her his puppy dog look causing her green eyes to dance in delight.
"One more." Alexis wrapped her arms around his shoulders as he wrapped his around her waist and their lips met in one more passionate kiss. Jesse's girlfriend pulled away once more. "Good-night, Jesse."
"Good-night, Alexis," Jesse replied. "Don't let the bedbugs bite." She laughed than fumbled with her keys to get them in the lock. Finally, the young woman entered her house and looked at Jesse.
"I think you're supposed to go to your car now."
"Do I have to?"
"Yes, as much as I don't want you to go."
"The hours pass by so slowly without you," Jesse told her.
"I know," the actress responded. "I'm closing the door now." Alexis slowly closed her front door and Dr. Travis hesitantly walked back down the walkway towards his car.
Jesse got into his red convertible and was about to start it when he heard a cell phone ring. The doctor's eyes fell on the blue jean jacket lying on his passenger seat.
"Alright, an excuse," he said to himself. Jesse picked up his girlfriend's jacket, got out of his car than started back up the walk. Someone dressed in all back raced out of the house and down the walkway.
"Hey!" The doctor yelled. The figure stopped and looked at Jesse.
"Jesse!" Alexis screamed from the front door. His gaze shifted a moment as he glanced at the woman who looked both in pain and very scared. The figure jumped the doctor causing him to fall back in the grass. Jesse saw the person raise something in that glinted in the dim moonlight and realized it was a knife. The young man struggled with the attacker as the person tried to bring down the knife. He lost and the knife slammed into his gut. The figure than got up and ran away. He saw Alexis ran towards and watched as she fell in the grass next to him.
"Alexis," he whispered. He noticed her bleeding shoulder. "You're hurt." She wiped away tears.
"So are you," she replied. "My father's been murdered."
"Did you call for help?" The woman nodded quickly. "Until they come I need you to do me a favor, Alexis."
"What?"
"We have to control the bleeding," he explained. Painfully, Dr. Travis tore his long-sleeve shirt's right sleeve. "Tie this around your wound. Than I want you to take your jacket and tie it tightly around my waist." She nodded and than began to follow the doctor's instructions.
