Chapter 12

Author: I have sworn to finish all my existing fics by January 1st 2003 so here is the next chapter of A crossing of paths.

"Vince, I know you're mad but.."

"SHUT UP HARDY" Matt sighed.

"Vince, I.."

"Shut up!" Vince pulled the trigger and shot Matt in the shoulder.

"MATT!" Jeff yelled. Vince turned the gun on him.

"Get in the car!"

Brisco and Patterson grabbed hold of Jeff and forced him into the backseat of the car and then drove away leaving Matt on top of the cliff.

Nikki's Motorcycle drove up to the top of falcon cliffs. She and Amy climbed off and looked around desperately for Matt and Jeff. They couldn't see them Amy turned to Nikki panicking.

"You've got the wrong place you must've." She screamed "You're wrong!"

"Shhhh!" snapped Nikki, "I think I can hear something!"

They both listened hard and finally heard a groan coming from the other side of a pile of rocks. Amy rushed around to see what it was. She saw Matt lying on the floor, clutching his shoulder which was bleeding profusely. She ran to him and held his face to her chest. He muttered something.

"Amy? Amy I love you."

"Matt, Matt, please don't die I couldn't live without you I love you."

Nikki dialled for an ambulance, which arrived soon after. Amy went with Matt to the Hospital, leaving Nikki alone on the cliff top.

"Where else would they go?" she thought. Then an idea came to her. "They'd take him back! To America! No one would ever look there! The airport? No, a billionaire would have his own plane. Where'd you keep a plane around here though? Big wide open space. OF COURSE!

Climbing back on her bike, Nikki drove off toward the disused shooting range by the beach.
