Survivors Book I: Final Destination
Warnings: In this case, from here Alex develops a bond with Agent Weine as he and Weine talk things over. As the agent is now seeing Carter in that way during the movie, but Alex in a new way. As their roles in this case are now reversed in the movie as like Rod, he's suspected of the very same thing.
But from here on out, there is going to be a severe case of Carter bashing as a result at the moment, as a result of the loss of his temper. As things continue for the movie, his anger at the loss of two days before he leaves. It results in a psychosis as every time he is in viewing distance of Alex he loses his temper.
Giving the FBI and the cops just cause to believe that he's the one who is jinxed and killing every member of the group as this continues now.
Disclaimers: Final Destination doesn't belong to me, the story belongs to me, everything else belongs to the movie studio.
Chapter 31: Carter's Arrest And The Case Begins IV
As the chief crossed his arms as he heard Lewton's remark sternly. "Trauma of nearly the loss of everyone in class who means the most of him. And a follow up, but were it not for Carter, they would be traumatized beyond belief right now. He just prevented this and prevented us from losing everyone in the class."
"But if anything and I'm 37, he sees me as a surrogate older sister." Lewton said with a furious growl then. "He's in shock and he's exhausted, stay close." Clear said and Todd nodded in agreement. "Not that I blame you, seeing something like this proven correct is too much at times." Shreck said sternly and Weine nodded in agreement.
"And that's not if the blast injured him in the explosion but if it did, he's the one who needs medical attention after that close call." he said and the attendant nodded. "Guys stick close to him, if he is hurt." Pilot Harrison said and they nodded to the orders firmly as Shreck went over the analysis carefully then as he said it to him.
"Just what makes him think he can outrun us when we know based on the direction he's heading that we know he's heading for one of the three of you girls in houses. As he never read the pattern correctly and Alex is already there and trying to get the victim, whoever said victim it is, or just all of you at once at the moment now, out, now."
"And before whatever happens next and as a result we head there as well to arrest him, but trying to swim across the lake would never work as we would catch him. And before he could barely get more than 10 yards out, but look at the facts here. You're still kids and we're adults, you can't go up against four adults at once anyway right now."
"But arriving in time just as there is another close call hits and this time you're nearly killed in the process. But he barely misses killing himself three times when it's too dark to see anything or where he's going, we see this as he needs to be arrested and sedated. And before he hurts himself or anyone else right now." the doctor asked and he nodded.
"Yeah alright we'd seen enough so if we had to keep meeting up and nothing changes?" Weine asked and he nodded to him. "Yeah nothing changes, no megalomania, no superiority complex, nothing like that. The pattern is one I'm working out, but if every time he sees me with the girls and loses his temper, immediately following it now."
"Is he immediately attacks me and then five minutes later the attack hits here, said that I got to deflect, that just make it clear here. He sees me, loses his temper and there is a close call or someone is nearly hurt right now. That's adding to your theory he's jinxed and you got to separate him from us." Alex said and Weine nodded in agreement then.
"But going on a guess if he decides he's ending his own life and taking us with him, he's going to think that he'll be the one to get it. But we won't, but it doesn't work like that, to catch it, I got to get the intended victim out. Say Clear right now, trapped in the car and I got to be the one to get her out as there is fully powered power line on the hood."
"So with it, there is tank of gas that got wedged beneath the engine, one or both, I risk getting electrocuted just as you arrive and the blast knocks me into the garage. As the power line stopped my heart, but if every time he sees me, this happens. And again, intervening changes the design and skips the target as it keeps going, so with that now."
"It's going to end at me, as I was the last in line of the seven of us." Alex told him and they both nodded sternly. "So you stop it with Todd and it moves to Terri, you save Terri and it hit's Val Lewton and so on?" Weine asked and he nodded. "Yeah I think, but I need to see the path of the explosion to know." he said gently and they nodded firmly to that.
"But at the moment we got to switch things around, at the moment, but for her, she sees this as every time he loses his temper and someone is hurt or killed. So in her eyes, his temper destroys everything it touches, but when around me, she feels safe. Now that I saved the others and the trio." Alex said gently and Lewton nodded in agreement to that.
"Valerie, Larry, could I talk to you two please." Shreck called out gently and they and Jane Hanson nodded as they moved to them as they went into a huddle at that. "Is that what you're really thinking, that with him loaded or he loses his temper. And as he draws a string of death and destruction in his wake after three close calls right now."
"You feel safe around Alex at the moment now that he prevented it, but Carter nearly cost you your best friend and fellow teachers, your students for that outburst?" Weine asked and she nodded as she answered him. "Yeah it is right now, Alex and I already discussed this, but examining it from my point of view right now in his eyes."
"I know that Carter thought this was one sick joke at the moment, tries to bait him, but instead of dignifying him with any type of action. Alex: he keeps his focus on me right now, as I took a chance on his theory and after he lost his temper. Again, the plane explodes, but this continues and he loses his temper every time he sees Alex."
"And immediately following it another close call, my conclusion is his temper destroys everything that he comes into contact with. But they been rivals since the 5th grade and we try to keep them separated here, I've been working at the high school. And for 5 years, but two years as their teacher, and no matter how many times he tries it."
"Nothing ever changes, but though he says I'm his favorite teacher, his attitude as a hotshot, is complete arrogance and he just won't admit he's in the wrong. Alex saved me and the rest of the class now and I feel safe when he's around me now. What's the point of fighting the fact that he's jinxed." she said and he nodded firmly to that news then.
"So you think we should just hold him, with it being a Friday night?" Shreck asked and she nodded as Caine said it for the four of them sternly. "Yes we do, he can lose two days because of his temper and breaking his rehab. But eight days is still plenty of time, we need a night of peace now after this close call." he said and they and the chief nodded.
"I think we can both say this, but we're not letting Alex out of our sight?" she said and he nodded in agreement. "It was too damn close tonight, any closer if Alex had not realized that you were here Colonel we would have lost him. So it was only blind luck now that we had you here already with a civilian medical team arriving a bit ago at the moment."
"But at the moment this just scared the hell out of us right now, I'm not leaving him alone anymore." he said and the trio nodded as Lewton looked at Alex in relief and care then protectively, as he said it then firmly. "He's had enough for one night, but after this, we can both say this with certainty now, but enough of the reckless actions already."
"On top of the fact of how close we came to losing Alex after he took a chance on this and us with him, as that injury could have been directly to an artery. And we would have lost him long before you arrived too, Alex is coming with us. He needs time to heal and without interruptions for a couple days." Murnau said and they nodded sternly to him.
Just as Lewton was getting ready to say it Alex felt a dizzy spell shoot through him as he grabbed the back of the chair to keep from collapsing. Seeing the look on his face, Todd nudged her and she quickly turned and saw sweat breaking out on his face. 'God baby, how long have you been up, sit down, fast.' Clear thought quickly to that, watching him.
Just as she was answering him, Weine shifted his gaze to Alex and saw a bit of sweat breaking out on his face, and felt a surge of paternal concern go through him then. 'Oh no, not now, come on son, sit down, you're not even supposed to be up right now. Sit down, sit down, sit down.' he thought as he watched him carefully then as he waited.
As a dizzy spell shot through Alex and his legs gave and Weine grabbed him as he slipped his arm around him. "Whoa, easy, easy, easy, come on you better sit back down, son." he said as he and Shreck sat him down. "He doesn't have much left tonight, Coach, a few hours sleep should help after we get on board." Todd said and the quartet nodded gently.
"That injury, no patient should be up this quickly after a close call injury like this right now, nor should have he gotten off the perch. That we had him on earlier after the colonel did it." Weine said sharply as he lowered him into the chair, as his mentoring instincts took hold completely as he crouched in front of him then as he looked him over.
"We really need to keep an eye on this, but he needs to rest right now, and never mind another fight at the moment. But I was just waiting for that to hit after he's been up this long right now, but another fight, Carter tries to start something. And he's being arrested for real now here." Caine said as he also crouched in front of him and looked him over.
As Alex rested his head against his shoulder and Weine rubbed his back gently, feeling his paternal side growing as he hid a sigh. 'We have this happen again and I'm not letting him over do it right now, it's okay kiddo, just rest I know you're worn out.' he thought looking him over and Caine hid a smile at the way he was with his student then gently.
"Well that just made it clear, between both together, he needs a chance to recover at the moment, but we had enough for one night. And without added problems right now, so with that in mind right now in this. We need a night or two without complications, he's in your custody." Caine said to Weine and he nodded gently to that remark as he went on.
"Fast learning curve, once a mentor or a coach, you act like a surrogate parent to your student in this case, and trust me. But one too many injuries has us treating the kids like our own cubs at the moment, as such that's just the first injury. So as the year goes by, you're getting overly territorial with your students here, for me though, that did it."
"Though looking like he's fine, his body is suffering a case of anemia and one the four of us need to keep an eye on right now. So to us, we're not taking any chances, his body is recovering from a severe shock at the moment, and as a result. A fight with another classmate could drain him enough to put him back in the hospital, so screw that now."
"If it means giving his body two days to heal, and without interruptions now, then Carter can stay here until he's thinking straight right now." Lewton said sternly as she pulled Alex closer to her in response. "Just one close call drove home the fact that anger can kill and he's furious as his anger nearly kills Alex." Clear said and they nodded firmly then.
As he saw the way Clear leaned her head against his shoulder, Weine nodded, knowing their relationship just started then. "That was too close, but to us, we're feeling we let him out of our sight and he's not going to be there when we get back, so to me. I'm not leaving him alone anymore." Clear said and he nodded gently in understanding to her.
"Alex risked his life for us at the moment, but right now we'd rather take a break and get two days in peace and quiet. Then have another fight start up at the moment, but the boys need to be separated for the next 48 at the moment." Lewton said and they nodded as Weine exchanged looks with Shreck and he said it for both of them firmly at that.
"Just what does he have against you guys right now?" Shreck asked sternly and he explained it to him. "The five of us had been together since kindergarten at the time, but it's your standard clique, to put this in your words in a way you can understand. You remember the SG-1 episode Hathor, there could have been a follow up now."
"To the end of the episode, said is that it was revealed that Jackson resisted her and O'neill's alter ego, turned twin brother, didn't and with him, his marine counterpart. Before O'neill attacked him for just telling him the truth, his hormones almost killed him, but they develop a psychosis to the fact he was stronger then they were right now."
"And the general and joint chiefs hold them for espionage, and turn their, to their thoughts, mission over to him as he was a double agent status. Well that's this right now, as they decide to sabotage him by destroying his relationship with their commander." Alex said and the doctor nodded at the news as he looked at Carter over his shoulder.
"You got in on just your SAT's and he's trying to get a scholarship, but his drinking and record with the cops could cost him his scholarship anyway. But that just shows a true case in psychosis and one that needs to get addressed here right now." Shreck said sternly and he nodded as he looked at him over his shoulder then, sighing then.
"The guys, Clear and I are like the team themselves, before the technology that hurt him at the time now, which sums this up, he's hated me since grade school. As I don't have to show off to get the teachers and adults to like me here. Well it's the standard remark, in the young adult ensigns eyes in this book." he said passing book five to him then.
As he read the remark then. "I can re-write that remark as teacher or captain's pet at the moment, to him and his clique, you're a teacher's pet. And if you guys are in the same college, the professors would take your thoughts over his every time." Weine said and he nodded to answer him as he went further at that remark gently as he said it then.
"Yeah exactly, but here it is, if we been the characters of the prequel novels after Anakin was found, I'm playing his rival and he's Anakin. But he's so jealous that's he's close to destroying his life, but in trying to destroy my life. My future and instead he destroys his own by loss of his temper and drinking." Alex said and they both nodded sternly to him.
"With what I did, he's jealous that one action is now about to get our entire town's attention, as a result of being a asset to the town in my case. And a danger to it in his, my parents are a basic accountant and nurse, his father and mother are banker and fashion designer, of us, my family is more well known with my uncle a pilot/technician."
"We're book worms and until now, we never had something like this happen at the time, like Crusher, I'm the same way, I do what I had to do and never mind my own health. I do what needs to be done to protect my friends as our town is very close knit." Alex said and Weine nodded as that did it as he saw a true case of psychosis in that jealousy.
"So that's the problem, he's jealous you never have to show off to keep their attention on you, but just be yourself, being the star pupil you are?" Shreck said sternly and they nodded. "Like any star pupil he doesn't have to push the limit, we're close and to us now, it's a matter of a father/son bond, or brother/sister, even mother and son, to us."
"There is no need to show off, he just gets into conversation with us, and we talk, but he never has to push the limit. That's how it is for us and we grew close, but with less then two months left of school, the separation anxiety is getting worse. And he doesn't want to let go." Lewton said and they nodded gently as she wrapped her arm across his back.
As they looked at the way the group surrounded him as Shreck saw tears of relief in her eyes at the fact she never lost him after the explosion broke the window. "One issue or another, that close call just scared the hell out of us and instead of us. We nearly lose him out of an injury that could have been fatal." Clear said, looking at him in relief then.
"At the moment we need a weekend of peace and quiet after this close call at the moment right now, but I agree with Val at the moment. The fact this was close is enough that Carter could have killed him earlier and he risked an injury. Just to save the rest of us now, I'm not losing my student, out of a grudge." Murnau said and they nodded softly.
"Alex risked his life to protect us and took a hit to protect Clear from that piece of shrapnel that broke the window. But that's an act of heroism that no hotshot athlete can make in a split second decision here, but I'm a retired army ranger. My student risked his life to save others and risked a fatal injury to protect a fellow classmate right now."
"But a fast decision that would have killed someone, the piece barely missed the carotid artery when it hit him and nailed the tendon on his arm. He also broke that shoulder last year, so twice in two years is too much in our eyes right now." Caine said and the duo nodded as that explained it in why the four teachers had him surrounded then.
As Caine ran a hand through the hair at the back of Alex's head and he hid a smile gently, as he saw the sling and the gentle look of uncertainty in his eyes then. "Too damned close and instead of you losing us, we nearly lose you in the process. Of an act of heroism that most hotshots would never attempt, but one is cutting it close here."
"But 7 more times in the side of 9 months is too much right now in this case." Billy said with a protective growl and Clear nodded in agreement. "Still drained though baby?" Clear asked and he nodded. "Between the alnighter and the blood loss, I feel like I could sleep for 3 days right now, I'm exhausted." he told her and they nodded gently to that.
"I'm just relieved we never lost you man, but you scared the hell out of us when we realized you got hit." George said for all of them as their entire class looked at him in relief and the quintet nodded in agreement to that. "Though how our folks are going to take it that you risk a fatal injury to save a classmate, or the rest of us now here."
"They're viewing this and you as though you were Curtis in the book, you risked exposing yourself for an act of Heroism right now." Todd added as he looked at Robby Parker and Alex reached out and the baby gripped his finger and his mother smiled. "A Baby that is barely out of his toddlerhood, I wasn't having it, that's what made me do it now."
"But my friends, my teachers, I'm closest to the quartet in our teachers, the little guy here has so much to live for, and I wasn't letting the bastard take a child." he said and they nodded as that did it for the town government and Carter swallowed at that. "That's the act of a true hero right now anyway." Caine said and he nodded gently to him then.
"Twice in three hours and the second act is the one that nearly puts you in the hospital, but it's always the quiet ones, but the all star snobs. They are the ones that would never attempt this, but it's the individual." Lewton said and he nodded. "Yep, like Curtis you're the same way, but that was one heck of a fast reaction right now in this case."
"Not surprised, but if we intend to pull Carter out for two days, be ready for the added argument right now. But what you don't need is him pushing you at the moment, your body is still healing from that type of shock at the moment." Weine said to him and the teachers nodded in agreement to that as Caine said it gently to him at that as he said it.
"If you never dealt with a group of teenagers trust me this turns into being a parent alot as most of us are parents, I have a family of my own. And the kids are no older then my players, as such here's your first lesson, but where the blame game is concerned. End the fight before it starts going back and forth now." he said and they nodded to the tip.
"You guys go through this all the time if you're telling us that?" Shreck asked and the quartet nodded with a bemused look. "Yeah my students once it starts I got to break it up, before they kill each other at times and Carter and George. The basic stereotypes are so bad we get close to losing our patience with our students when it resorts to blows."
"Issues in debates, but once it starts we got to break it up, so he blames Alex go to the pre-programmed parental response at the debate, and trust me we do this so often. That we're ending the fight before it resorts to blows on a field trip between the kids." Caine told Weine and he and Shreck nodded with a sigh to that remark as he said it then.
"Here to give an example to what they mean by that, he started it." Alex said and Todd answered that. "No he started it." he said in response as Alex answered him. "Didn't" "Did" "Didn't" "Did" "Didn't" Did" "Didn't" Alex said and Lewton said it bemused as she looked between them as the trio were shaking in laughter at that response, relieved.
Now, at the fact that nothing changed as the prevention would have them continuing in acting like this, as the quartet of teachers exchanged bemused smiles as she said it. "I don't care who started it between you guys, break it up or you're both in detention." she said and they nodded as Weine nodded with a bemused smile as he answered that look.
"And I don't care who started it, I'm ending it, now break it up already guys, that's enough of that already." Caine added and as the other five players all started laughing at that. "I take you hear that remark once too often right now?" Weine asked with a slight smile and the quartet nodded to him as the sextet went to a second demonstration.
"Or this." Billy said pushing Alex and he pushed him him back and it started going back and forth and Murnau stepped in. "Alright boys that's enough of that already." he said and Lewton added on to it. "Watch the arm, you broke your shoulder last year, land the wrong way you could break it a second time." she said and Alex nodded as he stopped.
"You guys always like this with each other?" Shreck asked to that response and they nodded smiling. "Standard debate here at the moment, but thats us, the joking matter and though our parents and teachers find it funny. It's the other that starts trying their patience, between us and Carter, so watch out." Billy said and the trio nodded gently.
"Todd brought the heat down and she added on to his remark and he tries to provoke him, never worked, so he's stuck under scrutiny no matter what he says right now. But where being a teacher is concerned we got the kids for 6 to 8 hours a day, now. So on those hours in class or during practice during the seasons, now we're the parent."
"Until they head home from school or practice every day, Eric when the boys are on away games outside of Mount Abraham. He's responsible for the boys so as a result we're used to this, new students every year. I've been teaching at the high school since the kids were 2." Murnau said and he nodded as he got it then as Weine said it to that gently.
"Acting the parent with your students and technically Alex is mine later on." Weine said and Murnau nodded. "Yeah exactly, but then issues with two teenagers once it starts be as stern as you can get, because I had to prevent him from attacking him. By standing between them when the guards were there." he said and Weine nodded firmly to that.
"Just go with the first name starting now, with me and in Max's case, as we're sticking around town in the precinct for a while until this comes to an end." Weine said and the adult members of the town all nodded. "At the moment I got nothing left tonight, Sir." he said and Clear pulled him closer to her at that as the quintet nodded gently to him.
"How much energy did you drain earlier?!" Lewton said quickly at that. "The adrenaline surge from the explosion crashed right after I realized I got hit a bit ago. But between that and the attack after I came out of it, every bit of energy I had, when we arrived. It's been completely drained, I got nothing left, if this was a normal trip at the moment."
"I would be fine tomorrow, but right now, I'm exhausted at the moment." he said and the quartet nodded quickly. "I'm in your cabin, and I can keep an eye on this, but young lady let me know if you guys need anything now." The doctor said to her and she nodded. "The four of us are keeping an eye out, but let me know if there is trouble later on that."
"Guys, Clear, Terri stay close to him, before he collapses a second time on us." Murnau said quickly and the quartet nodded to the orders then. "We go in first so he can get settled, but you stick close to him, if he was up all night, I'm not taking chances." Lewton said sharply and they nodded as Weine exchanged looks with her with a sigh at that.
"I get why, but you shouldn't even be up this soon after a close call like this right now anyway, son, your body is starting to heal. But your iron levels are dangerously low, like in a girl it takes a week of iron tablets to replenish that level. And like your double, what you don't need is getting into a fight this soon after an injury like this right now, kiddo."
"Though he attacks you again and he's getting arrested, this time by us." Weine said resting his hand on his shoulder then and he nodded, hiding a smile. He saw a look of paternal love in his eyes towards him and he hid a nod then. In knowing the bond between them was starting to develop now, as the doctor hid a smile then gently
"Loss of that much blood I'm not surprised right now, it takes a week to heal from that right now, but combining that with an alnighter. It's going to take the entire week to heal from this, son, but with that in mind and I'm on a 2 week tour in Paris. I can handle this, so you're my patient starting now till we all get back." the doctor said and they nodded.
"One thing is for sure is that Larry and I are not letting you out of our sight while we're there, but once we get settled at the hotel. You're resting between sight seeing, and don't give me any trouble about taking your medication when it comes time to take it. But tonight now, with you this drained, you're resting once on the plane now."
"Once we get on board, you're getting some sleep buster, and I don't want any argument right now." Lewton said to that and he nodded to her gently. "I hope you got a safe spot on the plane for medical areas right now, he needs to sleep this off." Caine said and Harrison nodded, as the doctor took a bottle of valium and broke the pill in half then.
As he put 5 pills in a baggie and then put the last into the bag and wrote down the instructions to them. Before pulling a second bottle of iron tablets out and yanked 30 out and gave it to Caine who nodded to him. "Half before bed and the second right as it's time for lights out Eric, the iron is 3 times a day." he said and they nodded to the orders.
"Got it and I'll take care of it." Clear said as she looked at Alex then softly. "That level lost it's going to take 9 days to heal from it right now, but infection now. Is something I'm still worried about so with that in mind." Hanson said as he pulled two more bottles out and removed 6 days worth from each bottle and wrote down the instructions then.
"Which of you is in charge of his portion of your group?" he asked and Lewton answered that question. "I am, Colonel." she said and he nodded. "Yes alright, then you better check on him if there is a set of dorms you set up for your trip to Paris now. If your his guardian during the trip." he said giving her the medication bags then and she nodded.
"Carter's part of my portion of the group, but we're paired up in 20 students each, so I'm exchanging him for Janie, and he goes to Eric. Just so I can insure Alex heals from this without interference right now, after examining this more carefully. Alex said he was never going to Eric to report him, he's delirious." she said and they nodded sternly then.
"Alex never did anything, he just attacked him for no damn reason, the assault and battery charge got thrown in there. But we just added the under intoxicification charge to it, reckless endangerment and disturbing the peace. So he built up some hefty charges with the cops so you're up, Wes." Harrison said and he nodded sternly to that news.
'That's enough of this crap already, Alex needs me at the moment, but the kids need us, the bond snapped into place. Their our recruits and you guys may stay friends, you got some added back up as we deal with this now, if it starts getting dangerous. But regarding this now, I got to make a fast recommenation to our supervisor later."
"We just added ourselves to your law enforcement to know you guys, but Carter is stuck under scrutiny and until further notice in our eyes. What I can say is that I'm requesting to my supervisor, that we get transferred to Mount Abraham now. We're staying as long as possible now, but if you two need me, I'm staying." he said and the couple nodded.
Looking at him in relief at the news, she knew he was beyond worried as they kept a connection between them open. "Helping you guys keep an eye on the kids just came into it, but this entire situation just took that edge. Carter blew his first impression on us, so though he says he had nothing to do with it, I'm not taking chances right now here."
"Is everything you're telling me completely accurate, because I need everything to make sure we don't have trouble tonight, son." he said and Alex nodded, looking at Carter then, he saw his skin turn dangerously pale then and drenched in sweat. "Oh no." he said and Weine turned to him. "What now?" Hawkins asked and he said it under his breath.
"We all know what happens when you take in too much, looks like he crossed the limit between drunk and needing a trip to E.R., to get his stomach pumped. But he looks sick to his stomach, going on a guess, he skipped dinner or never bothered to grab a snack. Before boarding the plane." he said and Ryan turned to get a good look at the other boy.
"I see it and you're right, he was close to being clean, trying it again this soon, his body can't handle it anymore." he said and Alex nodded. "It is, but looking at him now, the side effects just switched to nausea now, guys." he said and the duo turned to look. "When was the last reaction for it?" Weine asked him and he sighed as he said it.
"Less then two months ago, but not only is he scared out of his mind of what's coming, he knows he's ending up back in the hospital. And you're the ones that just arrested him this time, boss." Clear said to him and and the duo nodded to the news then. "Your basic teenager, the last reaction was two months ago, and he had one seizure at the time."
"And this time he crossed the limit, but at the moment, this took a dangerous turn, and we've seen this once too often. But your basic case of trouble if you're being around my group this much right now, starting now." Alex told them and they nodded. "Either he had to much too drink or he took it in and without eating anything right now, Wes."
"Drinking on an empty stomach and the effects only worsen, but we got to get it out of his system." Shreck said sighing and and Weine nodded in agreement to that. 'God kid if you been spiking anything you been drinking with that crap. And your body can't handle it anymore, I'm sorry, but this is for your own good.' he thought, watching him firmly.
"We took biology and health and wellness in P.E., dragging in substance abuse, and he never took our studies seriously to the point of the last 18 months. But he pushed his body to the limit, since Junior year." Alex said to him and he nodded to him. "Caffeine headache, that's one of the symptoms of Caffeine withdrawal, as is cold sweat now."
"Oh this is going to get nasty if he tries to fight it out, but 30 adults and a single teenager, you're stronger then we are and we can't go up against you. When you outnumber us 4 to 1, if you're used to dealing with arrested drug addicted perps. Or a drunken one." Billy said and Alex nodded in agreement to his thoughts as he nodded.
"Him on the other hand, he's going to continue blaming you as his anger starts destroying lives, in one close call after another. But you never forced him off the plane, we arrested him and threw him off and before you talked me. And into putting your premonition to the test and right as you called it as it goes barely out of the state."
"And right on schedule." Jenkins said firmly to that. "I wasn't sure if it would or not, but putting that to the test with you on it, that's like pointing a loaded gun at someone. It going off and the person holding the damn thing didn't think it was loaded. But that could kill someone, so for the sake of everyone involved, it was testing that theory now."
"But I have nothing against my peers, especially him, but things changed, truth is before he turned into this, we used to be friends. But since he got onto the football team, he changed, but these guys, it's alcohol related. But new friends, failing grades, a hotshot, it's all alcohol related like you suspected." Alex said and the duo nodded sternly to that.
"You used to be friends, but since joining the football team he changed and turned into that little hotshot?" Shreck said slowly and he nodded to him, sighing. "To put this bluntly is the case of the Soc and the narrator's oldest brother, we used to be friends. Before he joined the team and he turned into this." Todd said and Alex finished that remark then.
"Yeah that sums it up here right now, but I have nothing against him, but one remark spoken in anger kills everything it touches. But I chose not to take the bait, if you were in the room I decided to focus on you now. But I knew one remark spoken in anger could be what caused me to get it and decided he was doing this just to get out of it now."
"Ignoring that barb, but he did this to himself, all I had to do was show up for it now, as a result, it doesn't help that his attempt to bait me. Has the finger pointed at me when I never did anything to cause that explosion, though he could have. And by knocking the damn tank over, he's going to continue blaming me for the fact he got arrested by you."
"Every symptom you know of alcohol abuse in teenagers, you're looking at it right now, but Clear was right, we been friends since kindergarten. But it was after joining the football team that they talked him into drinking, turning him from our brother. A friend, into this hotshot with a violent temper on him, if he never joined the team now."
"He'd be like he used to be now, but with us this close to graduation he's gotten himself in trouble once too often. But one remark provoked in anger could have killed everyone on the plane, so stalling this long helps. But his reaction could have caused it, but for his own good, I had too." he said and Weine nodded to the new information gently at that.
Looking at the annoyed look on Carter's face, he saw something else in his eyes then and saw a slight tone of affection for Alex. And the quartet and nodded, seeing he regretted splitting up from their childhood gang and the explosion gave them a second chance. "Though if you never dealt with a teenager in these areas, you got a problem now."
"In this case right now, he's tried to escape custody or was resisting arrest 10 times in the 35 you read in that record. So expect that right now, once you take him in at the moment now." he said and the duo nodded. "Unit 2, unit 5, I need you at the airport, repeat, I need back up at the airport." Hawkins said into his radio and then heard it.
"Ten four, we're on our way, be there in 10 minutes Jack, is it Horton again?" they heard and he sighed. "That's a big affirmative, Darrel, seems he got arrested, this time, by our counterparts here at the airport, he's loaded. But going by his complexion, he looks like he suffered a reaction to a repeater of George Waggner, only the target."
"This time, of that reaction is Alex Browning, but with him in rehab, he tried it a second time, had a reaction and thought Browning busted him. And before he realized he did it again." he said and he heard the unit driver answer him. "Roger, we're on our way, we saw the explosion, I take it it worked?" the officers team mate asked him gently.
"Yeah it did, Alex just filled us, the fire department chief, as well as the FBI in on what he was doing, but we got the entire story and Alex was injured here. But he pulled it off, but Carter is being taken in questioning for that over reaction." he said and they ended it at that as Alex said it firmly to Weine, knowing he wouldn't take this lightly as he said it.
"Added reinforcements I take it you're used to this, if they called out for another team or 2, though the three of you are here?" Shreck said with a bemused tone to that. "Yeah once too often, but the reason for this with him being a football player. Is he tries to resist arrest, and at times tried to escape custody after the whatever happened."
"So in here there is not enough room to maneuver, but outside in the parking lot and some of the lights are off. The acts of being a star quarterback result in a chase down at the moment, so be ready for his running headlong into you. But the occasional chasedown resulted in an injury or two." Billy told him and they nodded as Alex said it.
"Or he tries to escape now when we're surrounded by security guards and cops, let alone you guys right now, though trying that in the parking lot outside right now. Arresting a teenager on drugs or alcohol, you guys are dealing with a high strung teenager. And one who won't give up and until he drains every drop, so hang on til he gives up, Sir."
"If you recall Kincaid on the movie, that's him when getting arrested until the sedative kicks in as they did it twice before and the second was due to the speedball effect. And 2) he's tried to resist arrest three times in two years that they had to tackle him 2 of the 3. Or he runs headlong into Hawkins in the attempt." Alex said and the duo nodded to him.
"Issues with the hotshots, he would never consider using the canoe that Clear had in the front of her cabin, but trying to swim across. But try that, he could get arrested by you long before he reached the pier up there, or not bothering to watch where he's going. Trip and fall down a hill and barely missing a busted tree, but that far up now there."
"The water is so cold you could freeze to death in 15 minutes and he's not considering that here." Alex told him and he nodded to the news as Shreck said it for him. "So set the trap, he sees there is only one way back to you guys. But that house is considered under house arrest with you as our student?" he asked and he and Clear nodded gently.
"Our town is practically up at the Canadian border, so during late spring to early summer, at night the temperature drops to 55 at night right now. That the lake is freezing cold so going swimming in that water, is enough to get hypothermia. But that far up, the results are trying to swim across the lake, we need to bring him in for hypothermia now."
"But another close call at night, a near drowning just adds onto it." the chief said slowly at the remark and the couple nodded to confirm that thought. "Yeah exactly, the tracking beacon is in place, that he leaves the area around the cabin. Say the area is a good mile around to 1 1/2 miles around the cabin, that area is safe, but leave that area."
"And he realizes that you know he broke the conditions of his parole and you got to bring him in right now, but trying to disconnect the tracking device. Triggers the sensors and you know he's just broken the agreement we set up now. You go looking for him that just makes it clear, but his determination to come home now, could be his undoing now."
"But I'm always with the victim and they're safe, but he joins us, and then another injury or worse happens, so that leaves two options right now. As we continue investigating what caused the crash, and who was next on it after I deflected it four times. And in five months, just says even more he's guilty." Alex told the trio and they nodded gently then.
"Yeah and he's got two choices as we, Alex and I go looking for him: turn himself in, or he stays at my cabin, until you bring him in. But either way his getting stir crazy, until he breaks the house arrest is enough he tries to run now. That just makes him look guilty even more, if he tries to head for our house." Clear said sternly and they nodded then.
As Alex pulled her close to him, smiling. "I think we both know where this is heading as this cemented it for us, we got less then two months. And you're not living alone anymore, my parents are your in-laws now honey." he said and she nodded, as the subtext to the seven meant their recruits were close to becoming engaged later on.
"Our house?" Todd said, emphasizing the word and Alex smiled and the duo shook their heads smiling. "Before college, we're moving in together and don't push it wiseguy, because this is neither the time nor place for that implication at the moment." Alex told him and Billy tried to keep from laughing at the implication then firmly at that.
"But three injuries in the side of 3 months and the last is due to risking a hit to save your life, Billy after he tried to commit suicide by a train wreck next. Knowing the direction his thoughts are taking, as he doesn't realize what direction this design is taking. But three close calls in the side of four months right now and all four have him attached to it."
"But with that in mind now, any athlete would try something completely stupid to avoid getting arrested and back to town. But if this manhunt is in the middle of the night and it ends up in the woods, there's a few death traps up there. And just waiting for someone to walk right into right now, but trying to avoid capture in a manhunt could do damage."
"But he has two choices: 1) stay at the cabin, or 2) I'm calling you there to go get him at the moment, as house arrest is considered a parole sentence right now. Or at least until he breaks his parole, tries to return to town and walks right into you. And as you go get him at the moment." he said and Carter swallowed hard at that and they nodded firmly.
"But the tracking beacon removed at night, you come to check and he tries to make a run for it, as Clear and I are already together. And with my dog outside, she and I got a problem already, but making sure she and I get out alive. That is my biggest problem, as I don't have time for an escaped parolee running directly at my house right now."
"As his next false move barely misses killing me, so right now, it's best he stays there as that leaves two choices, and the second. That is something he doesn't have a choice in right now, she and I work for you and we got our own problems. And I'm in currently in recovery still from the car accident." he said and Weine and Shreck nodded to that.
"That's why if you get hit a third time and I'm yanking you off duty for a few weeks to heal right now, your parents, the trio and us, we're checking in. But we have an attempted escape and I know who's place he's heading for. And I'm calling ahead to let you know, we're coming to you right now." Weine said, looking at him gently at that.
'Two choices, I stay in exile or I end up in jail, at their cabin upstate, with my being their ward now, I'll never see Terri again. No, my friends, I want to see my friends, Browning what right do you have to make decisions on my life?!' he thought shaking in fear, before seeing the stern looks on the two agents and knowing he tried to run and that was it.
"You say you control your life, but you're not the one working for the authorities right now in trying to prevent anyone from ending up in the morgue, Carter. You're a civilian, I'm a junior FBI agent as is Alex, so yes we have that right now. If it means preventing anyone in our group from dying, then yes we do." Clear said sharply in response then.
"I have that right, if this was in reverse, Carter, but you're in enough trouble already, don't you get that running from the law just makes you look even more guilty. In the eyes of the law right now, I'm working for the agents investigating this case. So with those words in mind, Clear and I go looking for you and you're in exile now."
"As you stay up north and away from Mount Abraham, from Terri, and until we figure this out, your parents and she can come to see you. But you have to stay there, we, the seven of us, come to see you, but you can't come to us." Alex said and the rest of the first 7 survivors nodded as the two agents and the chief crossed their arms sternly.
"I think we all agree on this, if something happens between Billy and my case, we go to isolation, isolating him from us, we go to him, but he can't come to us." Alex said and the sextet nodded in agreement, "Five close calls, and all that is left of us after his attempt is you and Clear, yeah we agree on that." Billy said softly and Lewton nodded in agreement.
"Favoring prevention over cure in this case at the moment is you stay separated from us after you and Billy are nearly killed. That is far more promising then you coming back, the last of the crime horror movie trilogy is what the subtext is. It's as if this never happened, we know where you are, but a psychotic doesn't at the moment now."
"We get a month to a few months peace and quiet as a result now, but frankly the 7 of us are more concerned at the fact. Now that he's risking injury after injury, after injury to protect us, that we're all scared out of our minds. Reason being that the next injury could kill him, as we keep you guys separated." Lewton said in finality to that and they nodded.
As Weine closed his eyes at the thought of this turning into a different version of the stigmata. 'One too many injuries, as a result of prevention and he's fighting for his life, just one more injury could kill him. I'm not taking that chance right now, young man they're right, the cure is you being in exile now.' he thought as Terri said for him then.
"Carter, listen to me, you consider that the side effects of the movie got taken into context, every time you're around us, we lose someone else. As all the evidence is pointed directly at you being the murderer right now, Alex is recovering. And from the second explosion in less then 3 months, two near fatal injuries in that time right now."
"But two explosions in three months, a car accident that barely misses me, another car accident that could've killed Billy. And after your mustang stalls out on the train tracks, as he gets hit a third time by another piece of shrapnel. Less then a month, he's losing too much blood that this is getting more dangerous every second in our eyes now."
"That his parents, the gang, the quartet, the duo, Clear and I are all scared out of our minds right now, he's fighting for his life that the next injury. Said could take him away for us, as a result of preventing the third explosion in four months. And by getting electrocuted?" Terri said and he paled at that as Clear went further at that remark.
"We're not aiding and abetting a potential felony here right now, but you're still under our charge, try to run and you blew your parole and are being sentenced to 10 years." Clear finished and he swallowed hard at that remark. "That's better then a prison sentence, exile, you get visitors, but you're not allowed to leave the area surrounding the cabin."
"And try to and you've just blown the conditions of your parole at the moment buster, just making this highly clear. But our department has a connection to the sheriff's office near the cabin, you think we won't go up there when your tracking beacon blacks out. To check on that right now?" the chief said to him sternly and he swallowed hard at that.
"Carter, don't you get that your record is serious enough that something like this could put you away for ten years. Repeated arrests are serious enough right now, but no coach in any college would take you for getting arrested by the FBI next. No scout on any football team would take you either right now, so you're stuck at the moment."
"You say you never did anything, but the next six months in situations has them seriously doubting that opinion right now. If every time you see Terri with me, you lose your temper and then comes the attack 15 minutes later now. You think they won't consider you as the prime suspect?" Alex told him and he swallowed hard at that remark then.
"If this was in reverse, every time we we lost someone, I'm going to check on the victim, before the explosion makes it look like I did it. Before I go into exile myself, trying to deal with the fact that not only did I lose two friends already, after the crash. But I failed to save Val next, you don't understand, and how could you right now, your idiocy now."
"That kills Billy next, out of a panic attack, and leaving us and Clear as the last of the seven of us?" he said and Carter swallowed hard at that remark. "I'm not taking that chance, so we decided on a simple solution, we're always together. As I deflect it, again and again, until the circle is broken and we're free." he said and the trio nodded to that.
"Nice idea, I can take that up with the town judge, but trying to commit suicide, by stalling the car on the train tracks. That only tells us he's danger to himself and everyone in your group now. That the cabin fever is getting to him until he tries to head for your place and I have to chase him down." Shreck said and Weine nodded in agreement.
"Nice thinking, but how about now with him looking like he suffered another reaction?" Weine asked softly and he explained that. "I take you had a second set of jackets?" he asked and they nodded. "Switch uniforms and go to ambush, so he tries to run, he won't see you until he walks right into you." he said and they nodded with a bemused smile.
"My being the one who is training you, but we spend the most time with you and Clear specifically, to know you can get in our heads and vice versa now." Weine told him and he nodded. "Yeah and repeated injuries is reason enough you got to arrest him, after a back to back injury, because he tried to run." he said and they nodded to that remark firmly.
"That results in a car accident and you're still recovering from the explosion, I'm not taking it that well, if you risked getting hit for the second time in a week. After whatever destroyed Val's house at the moment now, but his desperation. It could do more damage then it has already, but trying to escape." Shreck said sternly and Weine finished that.
"He tries that with us and we're getting him to the ground, before he does more damage to himself if he lands on a broken bottle someone forgot to clean up in the parking lot." Weine said and Alex looked behind him at that. "You're looking at that now, he's showing good behavior right now, but once Coach is out of sight, you got a fight on your hands."
"Sir, what I just told you now is evident, it's either substance abuse or just getting arrested for something else. That your fight with getting him to the floor is, with it being midnight and too dark to see where he's going if you parked behind the lighting. He's not going to see you guys until he runs right into you." he said and the duo nodded gently.
Looking behind him, he saw Carter breaking out in sweat and was shaking. "Well we had a right to be worried right now in his case, whatever dose he took earlier. It just wore off, he's drenched in sweat, he's also shaking uncontrollably right now. He's close to collapse right now man." Billy said and the duo turned and hid a nod as Shreck switched subjects.
"And I don't care who's fault it was or who started that debate and fight, we're ending it right now and with those words in mind right now. This turns into a fight and he's being restrained now." Shreck said sternly and Carter felt his heart speed up at that. 'Oh no, they can't possibly be thinking it's me now.' he thought trying to control his shaking.
'God my head, what's happening to me right now.' he thought as he sat down as he wiped the sweat off his face, watching him carefully. The doctor nudged the chief and he and the officer shifted to see him leaning forward, his face drenched in sweat. And shaking uncontrollably and they hid a nod, knowing what was happening then.
'Easy son, it's okay just rest, I told you that what you were doing was dangerous, and here's the result, we were trying to take it slow, but trying it twice in six months. You need to be in the hospital, the worst of the withdrawal is kicking in as you been in rehab. And for the last five months now kiddo, Carter we're adults, we know what's best.'
'Trying to keep it up, your body can't handle it anymore, if you were up all night, your body can't take the comedown and the alnighter right now. I'm sorry, but this is for your own good now, but you're staying home until your body is clean now.' the four thought together as they watched him shaking and saw the sweat on his face then gently.
Looking at his shaking and they nodded. 'That's what I was afraid of, the cold sweat from the effects of the cross chemicals is starting now, he needs to be in the hospital for this.' Caine thought, watching him carefully. "Wes, the withdrawal from that attack earlier is kicking in, he needs to be in the hospital." he whispered and the duo nodded gently.
"You said he was in rehab prior to this?" he said and they nodded. "Yeah I did, but I knew never to screw around with drugs, but if he was over doing it with the caffeine. He was pushing his body to the limit, and he just hit the wall finally here now. So his body can't take anymore abuse like this now." Alex said sighing and they nodded gently to him.
"Violent acting out, cold sweat, pinkish pale skin and I don't have to check his temperature to know he's running a fever right now. That attack earlier is a reaction to cross chemicals I just have to search his bag to know that. Could be caffeine, or worse something more dangerous, but I find it and he's staying in your custody until Monday."
"But he did this to himself and all Alex had to do was show up for it, with you surrounding him right now, there is no going back. Carter can't control his temper when it comes to the toxic chemicals in this case. But he definitely needs medical attention now." Caine told Weine and he nodded as he looked at Carter who was shaking then.
"Yes alright, Chief be prepared if he starts resisting arrest right now." Weine said and he nodded sternly. "You expecting trouble here?" The doctor asked and he nodded. "Yeah if he's drunk, his choice as of right now seals his fate, if he tries to resist arrest. But we just have to keep it getting from physical as he's standing up to 23 adults right now."
"But he makes one move and we take him down, if it takes sedation then we do it, but he makes a move to attack Alex for a final time, he seals his fate. I'm not budging on the fact I need to keep them separated until he's fully recovered right now in this case. But where a teenage case of drinking is concerned, it's being as strict as you can get."
"Because enough is enough of this right now, he's coming with us and the chief and whether he wants to or not. But what he did on the plane is something I will not tolerate whatsoever here, so if you're carrying a sedation ejection pod, get ready to use it." Weine said and the doctor nodded as he pulled something out of his back pocket then.
'Easy son, easy, don't fight us right now, you're not thinking straight right now.' Weine thought as he shifted his gaze up to look at the other boy firmly at that. "Get ready if he's drunk, then he's likely to get even more violent then he has been right now. But he tries to make a run for it and with us blocking the only way out right now in this case."
"Then we have to put him under until we can question him, but how many drug addicted perps have we had to arrest in 12 years here?" he said under his breath and Shreck hid a nod to that, sighing. "One too many and the latest is a teenager, but even loaded he can't go up again fifteen fully grown men and when one of us is a medical doctor here too."
"But this kid loses his temper at the fact Alex turned it around and we're not budging on the fact he's the one stuck under our scrutiny until he's thinking straight right now." he said softly as he flicked his eyes at Carter and the other three security guards got into position. "Get ready for it." Weine said and the doctor hid a nod as he said it softly.
And nudged Shreck. "Do it, and watch him." he whispered and he said it firmly to the other boy. "Carter Horton, you're under arrest, we'd like to ask you a couple questions please." Shreck said and he stood up in shock. "Don't fight us son, you're in enough trouble already for that near riot on the plane." the doctor said to him sternly at that.
"Get ready for the bickering match if you were a teacher yourself at the moment, or a parent, because it's always having the one who starts it, blaming the one who didn't." Lewton said as she looked at Todd and George with a bemused look. "Bickering match in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1,..., now." Shreck said, counting down then as they heard the response then.
"He started it." Carter said and Weine said it sternly, as he hid a sigh. 'Kid like your teachers, I'm not taking that anymore then they are. Your actions could have killed everyone on the plane, now don't fight me.' he thought as he said it. "I don't care who started this fight between you at the moment, I just heard his side of the story."
"And I would like your's, so could you come with us." he said and he looked between the quartet of teachers. "Carter don't fight them on this, you're just making your position worse and you're in enough trouble already. For that unprovoked attack on Alex at the moment." Caine said and he said it quickly as he looked at the group, shaking then.
"Why me and not both of us?!" he said quickly and Weine crossed his arms. "Maybe that's because he never nearly knocked the tank over or started a riot in the aisle. Was drinking or lost his temper and attacked anyone for only considering the safety. And of everyone on the plane, the tapes showed us everything we need to know, regarding this."
"But one exchange in this results in destroying his life, because of you, well that's not happening, it seems to me that the one who needs to be questioned is you. After you attacked him for no damn reason." he said and Carter looked at Alex then. "Just what the hell did you tell him, Browning?" he snapped and Alex crossed his arms sternly at that.
"Nothing but the truth, under investigation you have to tell the truth, but consider that fact everything I told you was proven true. First with the flight and now with the cops and the FBI, the medical and psychiatric department. But my prediction on this was proven correct, but look at your behavior in their eyes, you hated me, since grade school."
"Because I don't have to be an all star to get anyone to like me in the adults, but one exchange now. One exchange between us destroys my life, but instead of wrecking my life, you destroyed yours in one shot. But you see what not controlling your temper and staying sober causes right now, and as a result you destroyed your life now."
"And you'll notice that your anger at me is scaring her right now, look at Val, Carter." he said and Lewton nodded in agreement as she pulled Alex closer to her and rubbed his back. "You think she's not going to come to the conclusion, that every time you lose your temper when you see me, someone of the eight of us is nearly killed here now."
"As it jumps from target to target and she comes to the conclusion your temper burns everything it touches?" he asked and he looked between them. "You're crazy if you think I would set you up to get out from under your shadow!" Carter snapped and Alex said it firmly to that, before Lewton interrupted that remark sternly at that statement then.
"Well that's a double standard right now, he's thinking you lost it here when he's the one who's delirious, just like that hag had them commit espionage. And for the next dose of whatever that pheromone crap really is." the soldier said in annoyance and Weine nodded. "Yeah psychosis, based on substance abuse." Shreck said and he nodded sternly.
And Alex held his hand up. "Yeah, so what do you call drugging me, because you're sick of the scrutiny right now?" he asked and they watched him swallow hard at that. "I would call that a set up right now, Carter, you set me up to take the fall for you reaction. But you're drunk and you don't realize how this looks to an adult who grew in the 60's."
"The duo know the truth between us, Carter what made you change, if you never joined the team, our gang would be one piece. But all your symptoms spell out alcohol abuse to them and the doctor." he said and watched his face change. "So you did it to get us back together Browning?" he said and Alex sighed as he answered him sternly at that remark.
"Hey I'm not the one who flipped out, regarding a safety check, you attacked me for no damn reason, so it's either sabotage or you're trying to keep from getting caught. But at the moment you are not thinking straight at the current moment here now. Look at you, you're soaked in sweat and you look like you're sick to your stomach here, Carter."
"But you exposed yourself, before I realized you went into withdrawal from whatever it was you were taking, but you did this to yourself. And all I had to do was show up for it, but with that in mind that's a hotshot for you now." he said and Carter snapped at him. "You really are out of your mind here." he said with a growl and Weine crossed his arms.
Before she could say it, he decided to push him into attacking him then. "Oh really, I'm not the one that got into a fight with an adult, I'm not the one who was drinking. And before boarding that plane, nor am I the one who flipped out and over reacted. And to you saying you were going to remove yourself from the plane at the time here."
"Just admit it, you wanted to get me ticked enough to get the scrutiny off you, in front of the jury, but screwed it up with 15 witnesses in the gate with us there. Just go ahead, I'm injured just go ahead and make your move, you're pissed here. That I got you off the plane, so go ahead, Carter." he said, keeping his eyes on him as the adults hid a nod.
Feeling a dizzy spell shoot through him, Todd moved behind him to steady him as he said it. "Carter, you're not recovering from a dangerous amount of blood loss, my body is spent right now, but you on the other hand. You're in withdrawal right now, but of us, the more dangerous situation is me, like my double, who collapsed right after the fight."
"And for the record you never risked a fatal injury protecting your girlfriend and fellow survivors, you never took that piece or shrapnel. And you never lost 20% of your blood supply which could've killed you, if not for a medical doctor and the paramedics arriving. My body is spent tonight and I'm not in the mood for this, so just go ahead right now."
"We're surrounded by adults, just go ahead, you know you want to." he said waiting for it as he saw the look of angered psychosis in his eyes as he kept his eyes on him then. 'Don't try it kid, you even try it, and you're being sedated and I mean it.' Hanson said softly as he kept his eyes on him as he heard Alex egging him on then firmly.
'Yeah that's right, just lose your temper and attack me for a third time, I'm hurt and you're not the one suffering a future of saving your closest friends now. Come on you know you want to, I saw the enraged hate in your eyes earlier, just do it. And get it over with, come on do it.' Alex thought, watching him, waiting for him to make a move then.
