The Truth Comes out

Alexis was waiting for Craig in her car at the old theatre looking at her watch every five minutes.

"Where is he he's ten minutes late."

Just ask she said this he appeared by her car.

"Oh my gosh!"

"Sorry I scared you."

"That's okay"

He opened the door and got inside the car.

"So care to tell me what I'm doing here because you were kind of brief on the phone."

"Yeah I want to tell you who the real me was before I came here, but we can't stay here."

"Why not?"

"Because were being followed."

"What? By who?" Said a shocked Craig.

"By Zack the so called royal I told you about."

She began to pull out of the drive thru checking around them to make sure the coast was clear. A few minutes later she pulled into a dinner parking lot. After being seated she began the story.

"Okay I will tell you. Zack Van Eller wasn't what he appeared to be. Like I said he worked his charm on me when I was 15 and he was 18. I thought I was in love with him and he got me to go with him everywhere. Well I ended up going with him to a bar because he said he had to pick something up for his father and since I knew his father drank a lot I thought no harm would come of it."

"And?" Said a curious Craig.

"He told me to wait in the hall while he went into the office. So I waited in silence until heard what sounded like screaming. I followed the noise only to find a man in the corner begging for his life and Zack with a gun"

Flashback

"Give me the money Hawthorne."

"I don't have it Mr. Eller. I'm sorry PLZ don't hurt me."

"You told my father that the items would be secure then you lose them I'm afraid sorry won't work this time."

"Zack NOO!"

BANG

Reality

"He had shot Hawthorne and I was witness to it. That was when he came after me so I would keep my mouth shut. I ran for the door, but he caught me, pushed me against the wall and put the gun to my head."

After a pause she continued.

"He blackmailed me into giving him sex and in return I would live."

"I'm so sorry Alex, but why tell me this now?"

"Because he followed me here and said if I told you he would hurt you, but I thought it only fair for you to know the truth."

"Thanks I felt like you weren't yourself, but I had no idea it was this bad."

"I'm okay I haven't seen him since the day after we went to Utopia."

"He's been in your house. Okay that's it I'm gonna kill this guy where is he?"

"That's not funny because he could kill you as well as me and I would rather die then have you hurt."

"No I am not about to let this creep hurt the women I love. When does he usually appear anyway?"

"When I'm alone so I think we should be safe for tonight."

"Okay but I'll be ready now that you told me."

"So it wasn't all bad news?"

"No the fact that your willing to share your brutal past with me and no one else shows me how you really feel for me."

"I thought you would hate me, but I guess I was wrong."

"Yep."

He kissed her as they left the diner.
