I DON'T OWN BLINDSPOT
New York City, New York.
Kurt was beginning to worry for his wife and stepson. Jane and Alexander wouldn't leave the apartment. They just cuddled up in bed and tried to comfort each other. It got so bad that Weller even tried to get Jane to see a therapist. To Alexander's surprise, she agreed. He however, refused.
"I am not going to a headshrinker, I can handle it." He told Kurt when he brought the matter up. Jane saw several shrinks, all of whom were failures. Finally, she decided to go to the one person who might be able to talk to her.
"You're going to see Nigel?" Alexander asked in disbelief when Jane called him. After helping take down Mickey, Nigel Thornton AKA Borden, had been given a reduced sentence.
"I have to Alex, he's the only one who understands me and Remi." She argued.
"It's your call." Alexander replied. He didn't have the energy to argue. As he hung up, there was a knock on the door to the Weller's apartment. Alexander opened it up slowly and found a package with his name on it. He was immediately suspicious. He felt to see if there was bomb in there, but couldn't find any thing telling. He slowly opened the box and discovered a DVD. Confused, he put the disc in the DVD player and sat down to watch. Suddenly, Mickey Wilson was on the TV.
"Mickey!" Alexander exclaimed.
"Hey there Alex, good to see you." Mickey said in his familiar Southern drawl. "I'm making this video one hour before you arrive in South Africa for our little showdown. If you're watching this tape, two things have happened: one, you won and I'm dead. Congratulations. two, my sister Mallory is fulfilling her end of a bargain she made with me and is hunting you down."
"So, once again, you're making my life Hell." Alexander remarked. "What a shocker."
"I told Mallory to send this video to you at a specific time because I wanted to have one last heart to heart with you. Now, I know that you hate me for everything that I did to you and I understand why. What I did to you, most people would call evil...but I hope that you'll at least allow me to explain myself."
"Explain what?" Alexander shouted at the screen. "How you lied to me, manipulated me, stole me from my mother!"
"All my life, I'd never had much purpose. I always felt that I was supposed to do something big, you know. I just couldn't figure out what it was. Mallory and I tried joining up with the army, but that didn't do it. When your mama recruited me for Sandstorm, I thought that I had finally found it. Even Mallory joined us, we were saving this country, or so I thought. When Mallory wanted to leave, I was split in two. I wanted to be with my sister, but I needed Sandstorm. Then Remi snuck my sister out and let me believe that she was dead. I guess I went a little nuts. I wanted to punish your mama. I wanted Sandstorm all for myself. Shepherd was already planning to put you and Avery up for adoption, I just got to you first. I know what I did was horrible, but everything I did, I did to help you." Alexander was livid.
"How did you help me!" He shouted at the screen.
"The truth is Alex, this world is shit and if a man's going to make it, he has to be tough and I knew that Remi wasn't going to be there to help you along." Mickey insisted. "So I sold you to those bastards in Juarez and I said goodbye, I knew you would have to get tough or die. Everything that happened to you made you strong. Now Alex, we are going to have one Hell of a fight, you hate me and you got the right to kill me and I won't blame you when you do; but I just hope you think about me every once in a while, cause I'm the fucker who made you Alexander Briggs. Because...I love you kid." Alexander was speechless as a guard came on the screen and whispered in Mickey's ear.
"Well, you and the team just arrived." He said with a smile. "Good life to you." As the screen went black, Alexander sat on the couch with a tear in his eye. Mickey had been evil, but for better or worse...Mickey had made him strong.
"Thanks Mickey." Alexander whispered. "I mean, fuck you...but thanks."
