Nedfan, thank you again!

Chapter 9: The truth

'' ...I killed them because they didn't accept me the way I am, deaf. Like my father said: I had to show them what I can do. These people never believed in me now they can't believe in anybody anymore '', said Brad

'' It's not because you thought they didn't believe in you that gave you the right to kill them '', said Jack

'' Can you explain to us why you did that? '', asked Bobby

'' Why...This is an important word. Why my mother died? Why my father never liked me? Because my father never took care of me, even after my mom's death. I had no hope until Rose Fortier was my teacher in elementary school. She found out that my father beat me and I was hoping she could help me, but she never did. Paul was the guy who treated me like trash in High school. Anne-Marie never wanted to have a deaf boyfriend, so if I couldn't have her, nobody can. James didn't give me the chance to prove myself in front of everybody who never believed in me and Brooke took this hope away from me. When my father came back, he said he was sorry for what he did to me before and now he wanted me to be a man who could defend himself, so I had to do something to them to defend myself, but killing them was the only way to do that. Nobody helped me before so I had to change it for the future even if I will still be deaf '', said Brad, liberating himself.

After this long speech, Jack saw Sue walking out of the room.

Jack found Sue alone, crying a little bit in the conference room. He went toward her and hugged her. After a long moment, they parted again.

'' Excuse me, I don't want to be a feeble woman, It just...when Brad said nobody was accepting him and helping him and after that he became like that...I just realized I have all of what he didn't have and if I didn't have it, all this support, I don't know what I had do...maybe I be like him if...I don't know...Don't worry, It won't happen anymore '', said Sue

'' It's ok. You don't always have to be the strongest. You're allowed to be miserable too. At least when this doesn't become a habit '', said Jack

'' You're supposed to comfort me, not making fun of me. ''

'' I'm not making fun of you, I'm making you smile...Come, we have something important to do. ''

Jack trailed behind Sue to Ted's office, but before they walked in, Sue stopped him.

'' Wait, What are we doing here? ''

'' We have to defend us, as in a couple, in front of Ted. We cannot stay put until he made his decision. We have to do something. Are you with me? ''

'' Totally. ''

They walked in Ted's office, but, to their surprise, there was no Ted, but all their friends: Lucy, Bobby, Tara, D and Miles.

'' What are you doing here and where is Ted? '', asked Sue

'' Ted left his office to us because we have great news for you guys '', said Bobby

'' You are now able to show yourself, as a couple, in front of everybody. '', said Lucy

'' So you can be the happy couple you always wanted to be '', said D

'' But why...'' began Jack

'' It's not important why they changed their position about this stupid rule, the important thing is now you can be together so...'', said Tara

'' We are still waiting for you, Jack, to kiss your undercover wife '', said Lucy

Jack and Sue were so happy of the news that they listened to Lucy and they kissed.
