It was 3am when Sydney got the call form the hospital informing her that her older brother, Tony, had been in an accident. She sped off towards the hospital after calling Gage to tell him what had happened, silently praying that Tony was ok and that it was, if anything, just a few minor scrapes and bruises.

When she arrived, she asked to speak with the doctor about Tony and he informed her that he was in a terrible accident and was currently in surgery.

"I'm Sorry Ms. Cooke, but all you can do right now is wait. We're doing everything we can and I will come out and contact you the moment he is out of surgery."

Sydney sat down in the waiting area with her head in her hands. Everything seemed to be moving slowly and it seemed as if time had actually stopped. What felt like an eternity, had soon been overtaken with past memories. Sydney started going over memories of Tony and her as kids. All the fun they had together as kids and one thing in particular she will never forget.

Back when Sydney was in college, it was nearing the end of the term and all the exams were taking place. One of her friends was throwing a party to celebrate the end of their studies and it took over almost an entire floor. Sydney had wanted to study for a bit more before going to the party but was soon convinced to just not study and come to the party earlier. Everything was going fine until she set her drink down to go to the restroom. When she came back, she noticed a guy around the same age as her next to where she had left her drink.

"I noticed you left your drink alone. I thought I'd be a nice guy and guard it for you, just incase." He said.

"Thanks. I'm Sydney." She said cautiously.

"Josh. Nice to meet you." He said as he reached out to shake her hand.

Although he seemed like a nice enough guy, there was something about him that made her on edge. She shrugged it off and continued to enjoy the party with her girlfriends, taking sips form her drink, but it wasn't long before she started feeling dizzy. As she stumbled around trying to find somewhere to sit, Josh caught sight of her and walked over to her.

"Dizzy are we? Well, lets just get you someplace a little quieter." said Josh in a voice that gave Sydney chills.

Tony, who had decided to surprise Sydney during her last few nights on campus, wandered up the stairs towards the loud racket coming from the party. He saw lots of Sydney's friends, but no Sydney. He decided to check some of the bedrooms and was deeply angered about what he had walked in on. Josh had Sydney lying on the bed and was hovering over her, kissing her as she tried to move away.

"HEY! Get off of her!" screamed Tony as Josh jumped up and tried to strike against him Unsuccessful at his task, Josh was soon lying in a pile of himself near the door while Tony went over to check on Sydney. During that brief moment, Josh had managed to collect himself and take off, not before issuing a warning.

"This isn't over! I will have her, and you will not stop me!"

Sydney shuttered as the memory washed over her and as she fought back tears. As she let out a deep sigh, she looked up and saw a familiar face.

"Hey Shorty. You ok?" said Gage as he scooped her up in her arms and held her for a moment before asking what happened.
