Chapter4 : It's not finished.


Abby went out the car and opened the door to Ryan.

"Baby... You don't want to stay with me, today?"

"I want to go to school... to see my friends."

"Okay."

Abby kissed her son who already began to go away. She went up in the car and sighed.


Susan and Mark arrived in the ambulance bay and went next to Luka.

"What's news about Abby's husband?"

"I don't know... He refused the divorce."

Abby arrived at this moment.

"Hi."

"Hi."

Susan moved toward her friend.

"Are you okay?"

"Fine."

"And Ryan?"

"Good, thanks. We must go to work. Our patients are waiting for us."

She came in the hospital, smiling.


A group of kids went out to the school. Ryan said goodbye to one of his friends and he stopped himself next to the bench to wait for his mom. Suddenly, Richard arrived in front of him.

" Hello, my son."

"Daddy... what are you doing here? Mommy doesn't want that you..."

"It's mommy who ask me to come here, to take you."

"I don't believe you."

" Oh... my little prince... trust in dad."

Ryan took the hand of his father and followed him.


Abby ran to the school, Luka followed her. The teacher was closing the door.

"Madam! Please!"

"Oh.. Miss Lockhart."

"Where is Ryan?"

"It is your husband who came."

"What?"

"Yup. Ryan left with him."

" Oh God..."

Abby shook the head, worried.


Richard drove. Ryan was behind him.

"Daddy?"

"What?"

"It's not the way to go to home..."

" We'll go home later."

"No... I want to go now."

"Ryan. Stop to talk."

" I want to see mommy!"

"Shut!"

"I want to see mommy! You must drive me at Luka's home!"

"Certainly not!"

"I want mommy."

"Shut up!"

Richard began to be angry. Ryan cried:

"Mommy!"

"Shut up!"

He returned and slapped his son then he took again the control of the car.

"If you continue to cry... I'll..."

Ryan didn't answer.


Abby was in front of policemen.

"You must find my son. He's in danger."

" He's with his father."

"His father is dangerous. He hit me, he hit him..."

" Find my son!"

Luka arrived and took Abby by the arm.

"Follow me."

"Where are we?"

"We'll find, us."

"But where?"

He gave his cell phone to Abby.

" Phone him."

Abby composed the phone number of Richard.

"Yup?"

" Richard, it's Abby."

" Shit!"

" Where is Ryan? Where are you?"

"You can't take my son. You can't leave me. You hear me?"

" I will leave you, that you want it or not. You hurt me, too much. You hurt our son. Say me where you are and I will not call the police."

"I don't believe you."

"You should."

"No."

Suddenly Abby heard Ryan who called her.

"Mommy!"

"Ryan!"

Luka made a sign to Abby to talk more silently. She whispered :

"Richard, please... Say it to me."

"It's not finished, Abby. Never. Between us, it will never finished."

"It was finished when you had sex with your secretary and when you began to lie me. One again... where are you?"

Suddenly, Abby heard a sound, a sound that we could hear only outside of Chicago. She made a sign to Luka to go to the car. She said to Richard:

"I will find my son, everywhere, where you will go."

She picked down and said, going to Luka's car.

" They're outside of Chicago. In west. In direction to Des Moines. One of his ex lovers lives there."

" Did you know his lover?"

" Ten or eleven, yes."

" Oh god!"


Richard stopped the car in front of a motel. He took, violently, Ryan by the arm.

"Come on. You should be hungry...no?"

"A little...but... please Dad I want to talk to mom."

"No. Come on. Come in."

A woman was inside.

"Good evening, sir."

"Good evening, I would like a bedroom for me and my son."

"Yes, of course. What's name?"

"Lockhart."

"Okay. This is your key."

"Thanks."

He smiled and took Ryan in his arms. The woman noticed that the little boy didn't be happy. He looked at her in eyes full of sadness.


Luka drove the car. Abby looked around them.

"How do you fall in love with him?"

"I don't really know... He was handsome, he was funny, he would become lawyer and I would escape from my family..."

" Were you in love?"

"Maybe...not at all, since that I discovered his other relations."

"There is a motel, there, at the right."

"Yes, you're right, maybe they're there."

Luka turned in the right. Some minutes after, he stopped the car in front of the motel. Abby said :

"It's his car."

They went out and came in.

"Hello." The woman said.

"Hello."

" A bedroom for two?"

"No. My son is here, with his father. He's 6. brown light hair, brown eyes."

"Yes, bedroom 5."

"Where is it?"

Suddenly, Luka went out rapidly, he had just hear a person who opened a car door.

"Stop!"

Luka blocked the door and caught Richard by his shirt.

" You will not leave."

Abby arrived and took Ryan in her arms.

"Oh baby..my love... mommy is here, now. Don't worry."

Luka hit Richard into his nose. Abby put her hand on Luka's arm to stop him.

"It's finished now. If you touch him again, i'll kill you."

Richard stayed on the floor and looked at them who went away. He stood up and screamed :

"I'm not losing! It's you, Abby! It's not finished again. Believe me!"
