[Author’s P. O. V]

Dean McKenzie could be seen laying dead on a stretcher as he was pushed in,side the hospital by nurses with a troop of cops accompanying them.

He was rapidly pushed in,side the ICU for surgery.

Some cops sat on the waiting chair while some paced back and forth waiting for the doctors to come outta the ICU with good news.

It’s Dean McKenzie’s life at stake here so they all have a good reason to be worried.

After what seemed like hours, the ICU light turned off and the doctors all came out.

The county sheriff followed the doctor to his office and took a seat.

“Is he gonna be fine? ” the sheriff asked.

“We don’t know yet cause his condition is very critical and although we’ve worked on him, we’re just waiting for his system to respond to the treatments ” The doc replied.

“But how? None of the bullets pierced his heart right? And although he took two bullets which I know is critical but there should still be hope right? ”

“Well the bullets pierced his heart and you must be wondering how cause it was his right chest he got shot on but Dean has dextrocardia. A rare heart condition where the heart is located or facing the right side of the chest instead of the left and that’s why he’s in a very critical condition ” the doc explained.

The sheriff was about to talk but stopped when they both heard noises coming from the hospital.

They both got up and headed out to see what the hell was causing such a ruckus.

They both stopped on their tracks for a moment when they saw it was Mr and Mrs McKenzie.

Their son is fighting for his life right now so why wouldn’t they be here causing such a ruckus?

Mrs McKenzie sighted the doctor and she ran to him, jerking him on the collar of his white lab coat.

“If anything happens to my son, I’ll kill y’all and close down this hospital you get me?! ” she yelled at the doctor.

She pushed him away and stood in front of the sheriff.

“What is your job? Your job is to protect lives and yet you let one get into danger! I swear to God sheriff, if anything happens to my only child, I’ll make sure you and your family pay for it! All of you! ” she yelled, pointing at all the cops.

Mr McKenzie who’d been silently watching the ongoing scene came to the doctor.

“Make sure you save him at all cost ” he told the doctor before signalling the sheriff to follow him out.

They both headed out and Mrs McKenzie stood at the glass door of his son’s hospital room, staring at her son who laid lifeless on the bed which made her weep.

Outside, Mr McKenzie could be seen talking to the county sheriff.

“I want you to find this Neil at all cost, he must pay for this that he has done ” Mr McKenzie stated clearly and the sheriff nodded in agreement.

3 days later…………..

~ Dean ~

Blurry, everything I saw as I slowly opened my eyes were blurry.

I shut back my eyes and reopened them slowly to adjust to the light in the room.

I looked around and with the smell in here, I need not be told I was in an hospital.

Everything that happened came rushing to the surface causing me pains in my head.

I was shot! Oh damn where’s Allie?

She was shot too!

Is she alright? Did she make it?

I sat up, enduring the pains I felt all over my body especially my chest.

I better not get a h0le in my heart!

I pressed on the alarm button and in a minute, the doctor and a nurse came running in.

I saw my mom at the door but she wasn’t allowed in.

Her eyes were puffy and so red and I kinda felt bad for her.

She must have been so worried thinking I’d not make it.

The doctor started checking me up and that wasn’t even the reason I called their asses.

“Where’s Allie ?”I asked.

I’ll worry about myself and mom later but first, it’s Allie.

“Who’s Allie ” the doctor asked.

what the hell does he mean by who’s Allie? Wasn’t she brought in for treatment?

“The girl which was shot too! Where is she? ” I asked. My heart had started racing fast causing me pain in my chest.

I started coughing, coughing out blood.

My head started spinning, eyes swirling round in my socket and vision getting blurry.

“Allie” I whispered as everything started to go blank.

Fast forward…………. ➡

I felt a soft hand rubbing my forehead, m-ssaging my hair.

She’s here?

“Allie? ” I called lowly and slowly opened my eyes.

I looked up and saw my mom seated beside me, closer to my head.

I had passed out.

She smiled at me and squatted to peck my forehead.

“Mom ” I called lowly and she smiled, a tear rolling down her left cheek.

“I’ll be fine mom ” I assured her and she nodded, sniffing.

“I see you found your love ” she said and I gave her a weird look.

“I mean the girl Allie, you seem to be madly in love with her that you even wanted to die for her and still on your hospital bed, the only name you keep calling is hers ” she said, smiling.

“Yes I love her ” I admitted.

Those words seemed to be the hærdest things to say but I can’t hold it in anymore.

“And I haven’t even gotten the chance to tell her that” I told mom.

“The universe will make a chance for you both cause after all these years, you’ve finally fallen in love again” she said, car-ssing my hair.

I nodded and tried getting up but she held me down.

“Mom I have to find her ” I told mom and she stared at me for a while before helping me sit up.

“Call the deputy sheriff so he’d tell us where Allie and my body guard is” I told mom and she nodded.

She went out and came in mins later with the county sheriff.

“He was already here to check up on you ” mom told me as she took her place on the bed beside me.

“Where’s Allie and my body guard? “I asked the sheriff.

He was mute, not saying anything.

“I asked you a question damn it! ” I yelled but regretted it cause I felt an unbearable pain on my chest, causing me to cough again.

Mom held me, trying to calm me down so I wouldn’t kill myself.

“Well I’m sorry Dean but your body guard is dead. He was shot right in the head and twas too late for him ” he narrated.

Well, I’m sorry for him.

“And the girl? ” I asked.

“We couldn’t find her ” he blurted and I stared at him with furrowed brows.

“What the hell do you mean by you couldn’t find her? She was right beside me! We both were shot and we were laying down there! ” I seethed.

Mom held my arm, telling me to calm down.

“When we got there, we only saw you at one side of the forest and your guard at the front of the house, laying dead. There was no girl and there was no Neil ” he explained.

Neil must have shot my guard, shot me and Allie but where the hell is Allie?

Did that bastard take her again? Is she dead? Did he decide to bury her body?

What in the world is all these?

I better just die now!

Neil could be seen, pacing back and forth, running his hands through his hair and cussing.

One could clearly see he had been crying cause his eyes were red and puffy.

“what have I done?! ” he yelled, asking himself.

He kicked the couch in front of him, breaking any breakable stuffs he saw.

“I didn’t mean to shoot her! I f-cking didn’t mean to! I wanted to shoot Dean but I missed and I just can’t believe I did it! ” He talked to himself like the psycho he is, pacing back and forth.

“What do I do now? OMG Allie! ”

He broke down in tears, calling out for her.

~ Neil ~

I broke down in tears, Allie’s name seeming to be the only thing exiting my l-ips.

I just couldn’t still believe I shot her!

It was a mistake and right now, I’m loosing it!

What if she dies? What if she leaves me? What if the same mistake that happened with my sister happen once again?

Oh heavens please let nothing bad happen to Allie.

I got off the floor, wiped my tears and went to check on Allie.

After shooting at her and Dean, I took her away to save her for me.

Dean really thought he could take away the love of my life?

When I was knocked out, I spent quite a while regaining myself and when I did, I blew off the brains of Dean’s body guard.

I had to go in search of them and when I did, I aimed at Dean but it landed on Allie.

I was taken aback for a while but for me to take Allie, I had to take Dean outta the way so I shot him twice and one at his heart cause I knew very well Dean’s heart was at the right side of his chest.

He lost consciousness and I rushed there to take Allie away.

I called one of my close friends Dan who’s a doctor to come help me save Allie.

My sister, Dan and I were a close friend and both of them conspired to throw me in an asylum but they couldn’t.

Dan is aware of my anger issues and even loved my sister and when he found out I killed her, he almost filed a case against me but later came over it and cut off his ties with me.

When I called him earlier to come work on Allie, he refused but he said he didn’t want the same mistake that happened with Lenna my sister to happen again so he decided to help.

He worked on Allie and said she’d be fine and be conscious after days and that’s if her system responds to the treatments he gave her.

I’m so devastated right now, I don’t know whether she’d survive it or not but I’m just hoping.

I can’t loose Allie like I lost Lenna and Anna, no!

I went into the room where she was laying unconscious with drips fixed on her and the electrocardiogram beeping.

I went beside her and sat down.

It’s been 3 days now and she’s still isn’t up.

Dan came to check on her yesterday and injected her some medicines.

I sighed and buried my face in my palms.

“It can’t happen again, no ” I said to myself.

“What can’t happen again? ” I heard her soft voice and immediately raised my head up.

I couldn’t even express the happiness bubbling in,side of me as I stared at her.

She was awake.

“Allie ” I called softly.

“I’m so sorry hun, I didn’t meant to shoot at you please forgive me” I pleaded but she just looked away.

“I thought I’d loose you like I lost Lenna and Anna ” I said in a sad voice and she looked at me.

“Who’s Lenna and Anna” She asked.

I sighed and rubbed my left eye.

“Lenna is my sister and Anna is my… ” I paused and looked at her.

“Yes tell me ” she said, almost in a whisper but loud enough to my hearing.

“Anna is my ex girlfriend ” I blurted out and she didn’t even look shocked or anything.

Why would she be shocked when she doesn’t know the wh0le story?

“Did you kill her too? ” she asked and I was taken aback.

“Did you? ” She asked, staring at me and I slowly nodded “yes”.

She sighed and looked away again.

“Why did you kill her and your sister “She asked.

“You just regained consciousness Allie so don’t stress yourself over this issues “I told her, tryna change the topic.

“No! I wanna know everything now ” she insisted.

“Alright fine! I killed Anna cause she wanted to break up with me saying she found another guy but I loved her so much so I kidnapped her and.. ”

“Just the way you’ve kidnapped me?” she cut me short and I just sighed.

“I didn’t wanna loose her so I kidnapped her like I did to you yes! Lenna wasn’t in support of it so she wanted to expose me which made me stab her in the stomach. Anna also tried so much to escape and she ended up dead! I strangled her to death. If I can’t have her, no one else can ” I narrated.

Her facial expression changed to that of fear.

“Don’t worry love, you won’t end up like Anna, that’s if you stay with me forever ” I assured her.

I could still see the fear in her eyes so I just car-ssed her hair and smiled down at her.

Dan……

I couldn’t let Neil repeat the same mistakes he made years ago.

I couldn’t allow another innocent soul get wasted again.

Right now I’m at the McKenzie’s estate.

I knew Neil was working for Dean McKenzie and when I did some research on the girl Neil asked me to save, Allie, I found out about her parents and how Dean even disqualified her from getting any job around the world.

When Neil asked me to come save someone’s life, I declined at first but later decided to help him cause I didn’t want anyone else dead.

When I got there and saw the girl, I was shocked.

She was the same girl Dean had gone mad looking for around the country with cops.

I acted like I knew nothing of what was going on when I went to treat her.

I don’t want Neil to land in prison but I sure want him to be treated cause he’s mentally unstable.

I had to go to Dean McKenzie to inform him about the girl but will only tell him where she is if he assures me he isn’t gonna get Neil arrested.

Lenna wouldn’t let her brother go to prison though he’s sick in the head, she loved him so much and what he needs is medical attention.

I passed the necessities to enter the McKenzie’s mansion and was allowed in.

I got to the main mansion and was allowed into the compound.

I alighted from my car and walked to the door.

The door automatically opened and I walked in.

I froze on my s₱0t when I saw the faces of everyone in,side the sitting room.

The county sheriff and his men, Mr and Mrs McKenzie, Dean and his bodyguards.

There’s no way I’m telling on Neil!

The police is already involved at this point and if I talk now, Neil will be arrested and taken to court.

“Doctor Dan? ” Dean called and I faked a smile at him.

What do I do now? I better make up a lie and leave.
