Chapter 24
Terry grabbed her cell and started dialing. The first call was to David. David quickly filled her in on Agent Young's body being found in a storage closet. She had been killed with Don's spare gun. Then David called in three favors of his own.
Don checked the bullets in his gun a third time. His mind was swirl of emotions and thoughts.
He could see Charlie holding his extra thick pencil doing math problems on long strips of paper as Don did his homework…
Charlie watching batting practice for hours jotting down notes on scraps of paper only to be rebuffed later when he tried to give Don pointers…
He saw Charlie on graduation day his graduation cap seeming to slip down on a head not yet large enough for even the smallest size...
He saw his own life, the choices he had made. He thought of all the times his own choices had hurt his family...
He remembered desperately trying to separate himself from his brother by going away to college...
He remembered how much of an outsider he felt when he came back after his mom got sick...
Don snapped the cartridge back into the gun and slipped it back into its holster. He remembered how his father always told him Charlie would do anything for him. He wasn't sure if his father realized that the reverse was also true.
Well…he thought as he stepped out of the car and started toward the warehouse, I guess I get to prove it. He realized he was now prepared to do anything for Charlie as well…
Even kill for him.
Heh Heh... :) Reviews please... I would love to hear from you again... -Fishgirl
