Chapter 54
He had a son.a son.with Haley. Jeez! Sky turned to Haley, "Where would he go?" he asked, referring to Matt.
Haley pondered on the question for a minute and answered confidently, "His father's old place.I'm sure of it; he started hanging around there a few years ago."
Sky then wondered whether Matt had been in contact with his father while Alec had practically raised him. Furry clouded his thoughts. Matt had taken his soul mate, his child and his future.
"I'll call Sam and she can come pick up the kids. Anybody you can bring them to until she picks them up?" Sky asked Haley.
"Yes, a neighbour." Sky nodded. He turned to Kevin, "After she drops the kids off, go in the car, I'll be there in a few; I've got to make a phone call." He walked away without getting a reply.
Kevin looked at his sister, "It's a bad situation you've got yourself into, kid." He told Haley.
Her eyes swelled up with tears. Kevin took Keegan into his arms and they went to drop them off at a neighbour's house.
When they got at the car, Sky hadn't yet returned. They waited ten minutes for him to show up. He said nothing about the call when he got into the car and staid quiet. Kevin put the car into drive and they headed south, to sector 10.
***
When they arrived at the house which was amazingly big, Sky told Haley to stay in the car; she didn't dare argue.
Kevin followed Sky into the house. Both of them had guns and they took them out and held them at the ready. They heard a noise coming from the second floor and they quietly made their way up the staircase.
They opened the second door to the left and they were met with Matt's unsurprised glare. He was holding Colby at his side with a gun pointed at his head. The boy spotted Sky and his eyes brightened and Sky felt his heart crumble.
"Put the gun down or I'll blow his brains out." Matt warned.
Grudgingly, both men disarmed themselves.
"Kick the guns over here." He ordered.
They complied.
"Now lets get down to business, I gather you were told little Cole here is your son?" he asked Matt mockingly.
"Fuck you, Matt! Tell me what the hell you want?" This made Matt angry and he stood up shoving Colby on the ground, but his gun remained pointed at the boy.
Sky took a step forward; now only ten feet separated him from his son.
"Stay where you are!" Matt yelled. To prove he meant business, he shot Kevin in the leg.
Kevin swore angrily, "What the fuck?!" and fell to the floor.
Sky's gaze didn't waver, "What do you want?"
"I want to see you hurt." He said with a sneer, Sky realised a second before that he was going to shoot Colby. Sky dived and fell on top of Colby a fraction of a second before a shot went off.
"NOOOOOOOO!" Cried Haley from the door and ran to her fallen soul mate; tears poring down her face.
Alec chose that moment to walk in, he looked down at his fallen son, cringed and looked back up at Matt, raised his gun and said, "an eye for an eye." And fired.
Matt was dead before he hit the floor.
"Sky!" Haley cried and slowly turned him over. He was covering Colby who looked up at her with tears in his eyes. She grabbed him and hugged him to her. She looked down and met Sky's glazed eyes. "Sorry." He managed and his eyes were no longer fixed on her. They starred at the sealing, unseeing. Haley choked on a sob.
Alec moved in and closed his son's eyes.
