Chapter 67: Going Home
Michael, Lincoln, Alex, and Jack managed to climb into their car and race away from the scene.
"Where'd you go?" asked Lincoln, as he drove quickly to the hospital where the ambulance had taken Sophia.
"I had some unfinished business to attend to," said Jack, calmly.
Michael gave her a look.
"I heard a second shot," he said, studying Jack's reaction.
"Me too," said Jack.
Michael narrowed his eyes at her and opened the glove compartment. The gun was gone. He turned to look back at Jack.
Jack sighed in resignation, "Yeah…that gunshot was me."
Alex's eyes flew open in surprise.
"What are you talking about?"
"Susan…she's dead now," said Jack, with a somewhat relieved sigh.
Michael gaped in shock.
"You killed your sister?"
"I should have done it a long time ago," said Jack, "And just because we're blood related doesn't necessarily mean anything. She had it coming."
Lincoln shook his head in disbelief, but smiled slightly.
"You know what Jack?" he asked, "You aren't half bad…"
At the hospital…
They all walked into Sophia's room at the hospital. L.J. was standing by her bed. His eyes brightened with relief as he saw Lincoln and Michael walk in.
"Hey," he said, "Doctor's said she'll be out in a few days."
"That's good news," replied Lincoln as he gave his son a hug and glanced fondly down at Sophia.
Jack smirked at the look he gave her. He could not be more obvious.
"So, what happens now?" asked L.J.
"We go home," said Michael, "Lincoln's already been exonerated. I'll get a trial and hopefully I'll have the same luck."
Michael turned to look at Alex and Jack.
"What about you two?" he asked, "What are you doing?"
Jack glanced up at Alex before she replied.
"We're going home too," she said, with a slight smile, "We're turning ourselves in."
Michael and Lincoln exchanged shocked glances.
"I told you I wanted to make things right," said Jack.
Michael smiled at her.
"Well I have to thank you before you go," he said, "We would have never made it out of SONA if it weren't for you."
Jack smiled, "Well, Lincoln helped a little."
Lincoln smirked.
"If it helps," said Michael, "I'll testify on your behalf…for both of you."
Alex nodded, "Thanks, Michael…for everything."
The two men shared a knowing look. Jack narrowed her eyes, wondering what happened during the time they were in SONA.
"No problem," said Michael, "Anytime."
Jack sighed and looked up at Alex.
"Come on…let's go home…"
