Chapter 55
Alec pulled Haley back from his son's body. Kevin crawled over and pulled Colby into his lap, shielding him from his fathers dead body. Alec looked up when several cops walked into the room. They took one look around, spotting the two lifeless bodies.
"We're going to need your statement, sir." Said one of the cops. Alec nodded, leading Haley out of the room. She was crying her guts out; literally.
Ryan showed up several minutes later and took Haley into his arms. Alec took his grandson in his arms and met his frowning gaze, "You alright, buddy?" he asked emotionally.
The boy nodded, but said nothing. Alec looked away because he couldn't stand the hurt look he saw in Colby's eyes.
Kevin was wheeled out on a stretcher, followed by two other stretchers, the only difference was that these two were going to the morgue.
After the statements had been taken, Ryan left with his heart broken niece and grand nephew. It was only then that Alec realised that him and Ryan were finally related in blood.
One of the cops walked up to him, "Sir, just to let you know, there won't be any charges laid against you for killing officer Matthew White.I'm sorry about your son." He walked away.

Alec didn't know how to tell his wife. Heck, he didn't even know how he would tell his kids let alone Sam.
The first thing Max noticed when Alec walked in was that his eyes were troubled. It was when his gaze met hers and his to die for grin didn't appear that she really started to worry. "What?" she asked.
He looked away, "Something happened today.with Sky."
"What?" Max asked.
"Matt White was involved. I didn't know it until now, but Haley, his wife, was Sky's girl before he left five years ago. He kidnapped Colby."
"Why would he kidnap his own son?" Max asked confused.
Alec met her gaze, "Because it wasn't his son; Colby is Sky's son."
Max hand went to her mouth, "Are you serious?"
"Yes, but, you see, Sky went all out when Matt took his son, I didn't get there on time."
"What happened?" Max asked worriedly.
"Matt shot Sky before I got the chance to get a shot off."
"Oh my god! Is he okay? What hospital is he at? How could you just be telling me now?" she yelled.
"He's dead, Max."
Her eyes went wide and tears spilled over, "Nooo!" she denied.
It was killing him, Christ, it was killing him.
"What?" came a voice from the hallway. Liam appeared, shock written all over his face.. "Sky is dead?"
"Yes, he is son." Alec clarified.
"But, but he can't be!" Liam yelled.
Before Alec could consol his son, Liam ran out of the house. Alec went to Max and held her as she cried for the loss of her son.
Alec went to Sam's house several hours later. She answered the door with a frown, "What's wrong?" she asked when she saw her father.
"Sky's dead." He said abruptly.
Her eyes went wide and she shook her head, "NO! I would know!" she yelled. "I knew something was wrong, but he can't be dead!" she yelled, tears clouding her sight. "Daddy, how can he be dead?" she cried.
Alec took his only daughter in his arms, "I'm sorry baby."
***
The rain and the black clothes made the event all to serious. Over forty people had shown for the burial of Alec Skylar. It was when the coffin was being lowered that the tears came. Haley broke down and had to be held up by her uncle. Colby starred at his grand father with idle curiosity. Sky and Alec had looked a lot like the each other. Max and Sam held on to their husbands, only then had the truth hit them in the face.
Little Colby came forward and threw a flower where the coffin had been lowered, "When you coming home Daddy?" He whispered.
***
Two months went by. Things stayed glum and unbearable for Haley. She still couldn't grasp the fact that she would never see Sky again. The only thing that had kept her sane was her children. Colby had been affected by his father's and Matt's death. He kept having dreams and waking up in a cold sweat. Haley didn't know what to do because Colby kept saying that nothing was wrong. Every morning Haley woke up with her pillow wet with tears.
This morning had been the same. She got out of bed which took all the strength she had. The door bell rang and Haley groaned. It was most probably her brother, Kevin. After recovering from his wound, he had been showing up at the house every morning. It was starting to drive her nuts.
Haley opened the door and met her visitors gaze.
He'd changed his hair. It was much shorter and bleached. A few days growth of stubble appeared on his tanned jaw and all she could see were his deep blue eyes.
Before her hand could cover her mouth, she fainted, but the visitor caught her before she hit the floor.
"Shit." Sky swore.
