Chapter Three

I sat in Mr Healys office directly across from him. He was looking through some files. My guess was he was taking his time to make me feel nervous, I wasn't nervous at all. I had been full of worry for Alex, still was but I was mainly annoyed and angry that Healy was trying to pin this on me because I didn't like the relationship I had with Alex.

"I thought you wanted to talk?" I bluntly asked.

Healy turned his attention to me, he took his glasses off and put the files down. "Piper, I can't imagine how angry you are with us right now" he began.

I laughed sarcastically "whose us? I'm angry at you Mr Healy" I told him.

"I can see why" he calmly said.

I raised my eyebrows and pursed my lips together tightly. " oh, you can? How very clever of you to realise you cannot convict me of a crime I did not commit because you don't approve of my relationship with the victim" I told him in a very annoyed tone.

"You turned up flustered and could not tell me where you had been" he said.

"I was in shock!... What changes things now then?" I asked.

"I have several witnesses that place you on the track at the time the incident took place" he said.

I watched as he shifted in his seat uncomfortably. "Okay, so did you get the person that did it?" I asked.

Healy clasped his hands together and sighed. "Yes, yes we did..."

I sat up straight. "Well? Who was it?" I asked quickly, demanding an answer as soon as possible.

"The person we found guilty of the crime was a male guard" he admitted, avoiding eye contact with me.

"Excuse me?" I asked him disgusted.

"Piper, you know Kubra Balik?" My eyes widened and my heart began racing, I could feel the sweat already. "Of course you do" Healy smiled.

"What about him?" I asked.

"Well it seems that he wasn't all that happy about Alex naming him in court, so he sent his hit man in for her" he said.

I let my head fall into my lap, my hands on top of my head. "Oh my god"

"I know it's terrible, there is a full investigation going ahead on our security system" Healy told me.

I sat back upright. "No, you don't understand, this is all my fault, Alex warned me about this... I thought she was just paranoid" I felt the shame run down my body.

"This is not your fault, like I said we have an on going thorough investigation" Healy said this like it was going to make everything okay again.

"Look Mr Healy, I'm sure there is, but true me if Kubra wants to get in here he will, he's a very clever and dangerous man" I said with shivers down my back.

"If he's so dangerous then why did you work for him?" Healy asked.

I shrugged my shoulders. "I wasn't working for him, I was travelling with the woman I had just fell in love with and I did one stupid thing" I admitted.

"Okay" Healy said, handing over some paperwork. "I'm afraid to say it seems this hitman raped and beat Alex, Lolly walked in and he tried to attack her and she ended up killing him in self defence"

"Wow" I mumbled.

"Wow indeed, now if your up to it, I'm assigning you to be Alex's carer as she gets through the next couple of weeks or months, or however long she needs, it'll be rough" Healy said.

I looked directly at him for a couple seconds to make sure I heard him okay.

"Really? Me?" I asked.

He nodded. "I see how much you both care for each other" he said, handing me a pen for the paperwork.

"Yes, thank you" I exclaimed, signing the paperwork before he changed his mind. "Where is she? Alex?" I asked.

"She was taken from medical to her bunk about an hour ago" he said.

"Thank you so much Mr Healy" I said before fleeing the room.

What you think? Leave me a review please.
