Kurtis was pacing like a caged animal in the back of hospital yard. His fist curled nails digging into his palm. He so badly wanted to strangle the boy with his bare hands. The older man then took a break from his work and ran to his small stinking apartment. He opened the cupboard and pulled a sharp knife. It's going to be end game for Barry Allen.

Kurtis was met with disappointment when he found out Barry was discharged from the hospital half an hour ago. His evil mind formed a new plan and the man walked at the reception counter. He asked for Barry's home address by lying to the receptionist that the kid had forgotten his watch and he wanted to return it to him. Since he had been working for six years the receptionist didn't doubt on him and gave the address to Barry's house.

The lights were still on when Kurtis reached at West house. He decided to wait until it was safe enough sneak in. The man again started pacing till it was four in the morning. The lights were turned off and it looked all had fallen asleep. He slowly crept inside the house through an open window and saw there was no rooms except for the kitchen and a big hall. Kurtis then climbed upstairs and saw an open room. Making sure he didn't make much noise the old man cautiously walked in. Seeing the boy sleep Kurtis smiled pursing his lips. He had found his target. The man then locked the door and pulled his knife out.

Suddenly Barry stirred a little and then his eyes flew open. Kurtis rushed towards the kid and shut his mouth with his hand before he could cry out for help. He placed the sharp knife on his throat and applied pressure on it "You remember me don't you?"

Barry could feel his pluse beating in his ears, blocking out all other sound except for the ragged breathing he took from his nose. He was so terrified at the moment that he coudn't even get his hands to move. He felt as if they were glued to his sides. His worst nightmare had come true. The one man whom he feared all this time was hovering over him ready to slice his throat any second.

Kurtis kept a bruising hold on Barry's mouth and applied more pressure on the knife. He hissed at the boy's face "You thought after you killed my son I would let you live?"

Barry tried to shake his head but Kurtis stopped his movement. He continued talking in wisper "You destroyed my life! You took away everything from me! My son..my business...my money... everything! It's pay back time"

Barry struggled on the bed. He was still weak from the blood loss and speed force attack so he didn't have the strength to fight back. His eyes fell on the door that was now locked and hoped that Stephen would come and save his life just like he did before

Kurtis smiled menacingly "Any last wish?" Fear overwhelmed him and somehow Barry managed to muster all his strength and he gave a hard kick at Kurtis's side. The old man fell off the bed and on the floor, knife flying out of his hand "You stupid boy! I will make you pay for this"

Barry gasped and took a huge breath of air. He quickly scrambled off the bed and ran towards the door but Kurtis was faster than him. He caught the boy's leg which made Barry fall face first with a loud thud. Angry pain flared through his injured wrist and he let out a silent scream. Tears leaked from his eyes as he felt the stiches were being ripped open in his hand. He could feel the bandages were now wet with his blood

Suddenly there was a loud knock on the door "BARRY! WHY IS THE DOOR LOCKED? BARRY?" Oliver yelled from outside. The vigilante was immediately out of his slumber when he heard a loud thud from Barry's room. He threw off his covers and ran to the next room. On reaching he saw the room was locked making his heart speed at no limits.

Joe was next to come. He had heard Oliver's loud voice and within seconds he was at his son's room "What happened?"

"Someone is inside! The room is locked...Barry!" Oliver tried again

"What? Oh my God! Barry!" Joe too started banging at the door

Kurtis kept a hold on Barry's leg while he searched for his knife. The boy feebly struggled to get free. Kurtis got hold of his knife and without any warning he jammed the knife into Barry's calf

A hot searing pain shot right through his leg and Barry saw darkness for a moment. His right hand went to clutch his now bleeding leg. He wimpered in pain as shouts were still heard on the other side of the door

Kurtis's eyes widened as he now heard the frantic voices. The boy's family was awake. He had to kill the kid now before he could get caught. He made his final move by raising the knife in the air and aiming it at Barry's back. Barry laid on the floor tears rolling down from his eyes, feeling too weak to move.

Just when the knife was few inches away, the door flew open and Oliver jumped on Kurtis. He gave a vicious punch to the older man's jaw. Kurtis fell on his side and Oliver lunged at him again.

Joe rushed towards Barry "Jesus! Barry...are you alright?" There was too much blood on the floor. Joe saw Barry's wrist was bleeding again and there was a small pool of blood under his leg. He cradled the boy tightly in his arms who was shaking like a leaf in the storm "I got you..it's okay...you are okay..I got you son"

On one side of the room Kurtis and Oliver were still engaged in hand to hand combat. Kurtis wasn't going down that easy. He roared like a bull and pushed Oliver off himself. He was on his feet and kicked hard on Oliver's side. One kick after anothe, never taking a break.

Barry who was in his father's arms saw with blurry eyes that Stephen was getting beaten by Kurtis. His breathing became eratic, deep and then shallow. It was happening all over again. Stephen was again being punished because of him...he coudn't let him suffer again..no.."NO! LET HIM GO...DON'T BEAT HIM...PLEASE LET HIM GO...STEPHEN" Barry's voice roared like a wild beast

Joe was stunned hearing Barry's voice. It was first time in a month that his son has spoken. Before he could react Barry was out of his hold and he made a run at Kurtis. He grabbed his shirt and pulled weakly "Please let him go...don't hit him..it's my fault.."

Joe went to stop Barry but was few seconds late as Kurtis gave a hard push at Barry's chest and the boy fell backwards his head hitting hard on the frame of the bed

Oliver yelled from below "BARRY!" he kicked Kurtis on the knee, the older man fell on the floor again. The vigilante then took a vase from the side table and slammed it on the man's head. Kurtis finally went down and lost consciousness

Joe was already on Barry's side who was on the floor. He slowly turned the boy on his back "Barry? Hey Barr...open your eyes"

Oliver too came beside him "Barry!"

"He is badly injured Oliver. We should take him to star labs" Joe pressed his hand on the wound behind Barry's head and winced as it came out covered in blood

The boy groaned and slowly opened his eyes. He blinked at the two men..

"Oliver?"
