Chapter: 20 mending a broken heart
The next morning Alex jr. woke up to see where Adora was the last night was a note was written in the dirt. It said
Dear Alex,
I have to leave, I can't stand to be around you anymore. I don't love you and I never have. Ever since you freed me from that zoo I have disliked you. I only kissed you because you were my only chance at freedom and it is French custom. I think you are a disgrace to nature. You create inventions, can read, and are highly intelligent you might as well be a human. Good bye for ever.
Adora
Just like when Alex jr. met Adora he felt a new emotion, heart break. He sat just rereading the words until Ben and Alex woke up and saw him. "Son what's the…" Alex read the note and knew what had happened. For moments they stood silent until Ben read the and cruelly started laughing. "Finally someone shares my opinions." He said. Alex turned in defense of his son and punched Ben in the face as hard as he could. Ben stood up again and spit out a tooth. Ben knew better than to punch back. Instead he said with a small lisp. "Let's just go and find Gia." Even with his heart shattered, he knew they had a job to do. Unknown to them as they left just a few miles away, Adora sat crying at the fact that the love of her live now thought she despised him. But she in lying to him had saved his life from Dubois. She could see all of the events that in her future that would never happen. She would rather have Alex jr. hate her and live than love her and die because of her. She then felt intense pain struck her head. She knew Dubois was near. She was then grabbed by the scruff of her neck by Dubois. "Looks like my little cat tried to run away, big mistake. Since you are not of any tracking use I might as well get a new jaguar skin coat." Dubois dragged Adora back to the animal control headquarters and locked her in a cage next to an alone Serena. "Adora, I thought Dubois let you go?" asked Serena. "She did but it was so she could use me to lead her to your father and brother. I had to break your brother's heart to keep Dubois from finding them. So I then left them and she caught me and is about to skin me." Replied Adora. "How did she track you?" Serena asked. Adora sighed and said. "When I was just a few weeks old, my zookeepers put a tracking device in my brain. Dubois used it to find me." She continued. "Where are the others?" "Dubois shipped them to another animal control pound in Africa. The only reason I am still here is she is going to skin me too, Dubois must want a new head on her wall." Said Serena. "Serena if you manage to escape or ever see your brother again, tell him I do love him." Begged Adora. "I will." Promised Serena. Deep down they both knew it would take a miracle to escape alive.
