The Catch
"Hi Amanda," Steve said as he passed her on the way into the hospital "Came to see Jesse, how is he?"
"Was on my way to check on him for Mark myself, while he's in the middle of surgery. Want to join me?"
"Sure" Steve said grinning.
They made their way around the corridors to the lift which took them up to the floor with Jesse's room on.
"Hi Jenny, we're here to see Jesse" Amanda said to the floor nurse.
"You're not the only visitor Jesse's had this morning" Jenny said smiling, "Seems he's quite popular this morning, his Dad came to visit."
"Jenny, who told you that,?" Amanda asked, "You wouldn't have known only just coming back from holiday, but Jesse's Dad was killed only a couple of weeks ago"
"Umm, that's who they guy said he was so I let him in, sorry I guess I shouldn't have." Jenny said going very quite.
"That's ok, it's not you're fault," Amanda assured her, "you weren't to know, Steve I think."
"I'm on it Amanda, stay here" Steve said as he drew his gun and slipped open the door to Jesse's room cautiously.
As he opened it a crack he could see a man threatening Jesse, holding a knife out very close to Jesse's heart, he could hear them arguing loudly,
"Morris, no, why couldn't you just leave them alone, they did nothing to hurt you." Jess pleaded, Steve could see tears streaming down his face.
"No they didn't but you did, you ruined me Jesse and didn't care, you were lucky to get away the first time, I wanted you to suffer Jesse, to watch them die before you did, but I guess it worked out better, you got to suffer more in between time, it seems you're life has been getting worse, no one would doubt you of killing yourself, so I get my revenge, and you die and at least you'll be with them." Said another voice who was holding the knife.
"You're sick Morris, really sick," Jesse spat, "You won't get away with me or them."
"Oh but I will, see no one will suspect me, no one did the first time Jesse remember, now die!" he said as he thrust the knife forward, Jesse managed to dodge but the man Jesse called Morris kept trying. Steve decided at this point to open the door fully he aimed his gun to try and hit Morris in the arm, he wanted to kill the creep, but professionally he would never have let himself. He couldn't get a good shot, and was afraid of hitting Jesse, the pair kept struggling, in the end he hoped he had the advantage as he shouted out 'freeze'. It seemed to work for a bit, both Jesse and Morris froze, Morris had a look of fear in him, knowing he had been caught; Jesse had a look of relief on his face, though Steve could still see the fear in him.
Maybe it was knowing he's been caught, or knowing he'd be going back to prison, or even the thought that Jesse had won, no one expected Morris to simple give up, least of all Jesse. He had expected a fight between him and Steve yet he simple stabbed himself repeatedly in the heart until he fell, with his last breath he shouted out,
"Go to hell Jesse, you'll get what's coming to you." And at the same time he threw the knife into the air in Jesse's direction, hoping it would hit Jesse and at least cause him some sort of pain, as his last act on the earth.
Jesse starred in horror as he saw the knife coming towards him, yet seemed unable to move himself. Seeing this Steve dived over towards Jesse pushing him out of the way, the knife narrowly missing the both of them, ended up embedded in the wall right where Jesse's head had been a few minutes before Steve had pushed him out of the way.
Jesse looked up, the fear in his eyes had gone, instead Steve could see the pain there, pain that had been locked up for years, Jesse couldn't say anything he just started crying, leaving Steve to comfort him as best he could, knowing Jesse would tell them everything just as soon as he was able.
