The Zack Mercer Story
Chapter 23: A Talk
Wednesday, September 21st, 2016 - No Mercy: 18 Days Away - Atlanta, Georgia
James had Lexi sitting next to him on the passenger side of his car while his sister sat in the backseat lying down asleep. It was a early Wednesday morning and he spent the night and most of the morning driving along the roads to get to ATL. He pulled up to a gas pump outside of a well-lit gas station right off the highway. He sighed as he turned off the engine and then looked over to his side at his sleeping girlfriend. She was his rock and she made sure that he knew that.
He then opened the door on the driver side but not before grabbing his beer out of the cup holder and taking a sip of his beer before exiting the car. He closed the door behind him and walked into the gas station. He made his way to the coffee stand within the station before fixing himself a cup. Normally he would put sugar in his cup but not today. This was one of the rare times that he would ever drink his coffee black.
He walked towards the countertop and placed his cup on the counter. He also grabbed 2 bags of Skittles and a Diet Mountain Dew, something that Lexi loved to get almost every time.
"Put 20 on pump 2. And keep the change." James said as he gave the cashier the money and grabbed his items before walking out. Standing outside of the car he saw his sister standing up outside of the pump making him exhale as he continued to make his way to the car. He sat his coffee on top of the car before he opened the door and placed the bag on his seat.
"I wanted to talk." Liz said as she folded her arms.
"Are you sure?" He said as he closed the door and opened his gas tank before he grabbed the pump.
"It's either now or never right. You're living your dream career and I don't want to jeopardize that. I figured we talk now and you can send me on a ticket to Vegas." She said.
"You're not jeopardizing anything. And If I did send you anywhere it damn sure wouldn't be Vegas." He said.
"You know all those years I was "Dead".I had the hope that I would somehow see you again. The man that "murdered" me played it all out. He used it an elaborate lie to use me to do his dirty work. I was forced to do things that I didn't want to do. He molested me and made me…." Liz said as tears started to form in her eyes. James pulled his sister into a hug and let her weep as he embraced her. He exhaled as he heard his sister confess to him.
A/N: So I just wanted to put something out there to address the whole situation with his sister since several people have been asking me about it. Next chapter might be a show or might just be filler once again.
