Chapter 37

The soldier's eyes flared, he was goaded into advancing to quickly. Sky did not attack, he didn't want to. Playing games didn't become him and he kept en offensive stance while the other guy tried to get a hit in.

Alec watched, he didn't know what to expect. Sky wasn't doing anything he just kept eye contact with his opponent. Alec expected him to try and attack, but frankly, he did not know his son, the truth of it was, he had only spent a day with him in his whole life, yet for the past 12 years he had searched for him.yet never knowing who he really was. It came as a shock to Alec. Nevertheless, Alec cared for him; he was his son. The years had made him hard, observed Alec; as the years had made himself hard.

Alec was getting the impression Sky was bullshitting them, but the kid just seemed to go with it. The soldier, who's name was Rock, was holding back. Alec could tell because he had fought with him countless times. Alec decided it was time to put an end to this play.

"Sky!" he called. Both Rock and Sky looked over and met Alec's gaze. Alec was about to speak when he saw Sky's glance waver and turned towards the door. He stared confused for a second and then he went rigid. Alec turned and looked at who had caught his son's attention.

It was none other then Ames White's son.

Alec's gaze quickly returned to his son who stood with an unreadable expression on his face.the muscles tightened on his face and he flexed his arms. It was true, Ames White and his son looked very much alike, but that were the similarities ended. Matt ***I don't remember the name of Ames son*** caught the deadly look he was getting from Sky. He was startled; for one, he observed that the guy giving him the look looked a lot like Alec and second, he'd never met this guy.

Matt came towards him, he first looked at Alec, "Hey Alec." Alec nodded. Matt was 24 now and he looked it. Alec had trained him and everything he knew was because of Alec, not his father. "Matt, you better go." Alec said seriously.

Matt cocked an eyebrow, he looked back at the guy who looked like Alec and who was now starting to slowly walk towards him.

Rock and a few other soldiers followed, just to be on the safe side. Matt felt as if he was the centre of attention.

Sky stopped in front of Ames White's son. He looked at his father with deadly calm, "What's he doing here?" before Alec could answer, he continued, "Did an exchange, one son for another? That how it worked?" Matt was confused and was about to ask what was going on when the deadly eyes fell on him.

"I killed you father with my own bare hands and I have with full intent to do the same with you, cause whatever comes from that abusive, psychopathic sinner can't be any good, especially a son to continue on with the rituals." Matt took a step back, shocked and then anger over came him. He pounced, but Sky was better.so much better; he stopped by hitting him with an aim that would raise eyebrows and hit him with the tip of his fingers across the head, knocking him out cold.

There was only silence in the room, Rock and the other soldiers looked at Sky with astonishment. Alec opened his mouth to say something but Sky backed away, "Don't." he took another step back, "Don't come near me."

Sky turned to the main doors and headed straight for them but was stopped when his mother appeared. She looked at him but did not recognise him at first and her eyes went else where, but they quickly came back and settled on him. She uttered a startled cry and her hand went to her mouth. Sky not looking away from her, grabbed his shirt and pistol. He walked towards her, not uttering a word, kissed her forehead and was gone.

Tears came to Max's eyes and she was one hundred percent sure that she had just encountered her long lost son, her eyes went to Alec whom had a hurt look in his eyes. Max saw Matt on the floor and realised what happened, "How could you?" she accused and the tears overflowed, running down her cheek.

Alec walked towards his wife, he went to hug her, but she stepped away with accusing eyes, "How long has he been back?"

"Few hours." Alec admitted.

She looked away, she couldn't bare to look at him now.
