Chương 16: The will of the world is stronger than men! (part 2)

Alex PVs

After explaining what happened to the father and the whole situation, Uncle Sean was quiet and thoughtful, I think he was praying, June on the other hand.

"It's your fault, if you hadn't been there none of this would have happened, my husband would be home and not on an operating table! I hate you, you little devil!!!".

June runs to me, slaps me in the face, and kicks me in the stomach, I've already fallen half a meter away ous, this mixed with tiredness, I blacked out soon and wasn't going to wake up so early.

A few hours later I woke up with a stomachache, I was a little groggy, after remembering yesterday's events I got up quickly and ran to the first nurse I saw, I asked about the sheriff and she took me to the doctor, who informed me.

"Sorry lad, but patient Earl Swagger County Sheriff couldn't resist surgery and died of cardiac arrest at 3:33 this morning!" the doctor reported everything in a professional voice and after a "sorry" he left without waiting for an answer, he was so shocked that it took me three seconds to understand that my father died when the truth came through the door giving me a good dose of reality, II finally realized, that this is not a series much less a game, this is the real world industry lost my dad.

So without any explanation or connection to the world I cried, I cried without any reservation, I went into a trance, I cried until I passed out, after who knows how long, I woke up but I didn't speak to anyone or move, I just stood there like a zombie. My father's death hit me like a truck was worse than anything I'd ever experienced.

In these last three years we got along great, the hunts, the walks, the conversations all the interaction I had with my father came to mind, and finally his last words to me, unfortunately, I, will never win that car...

The latest news was that grandma Lala went into a coma, shortly after she woke up from a faint she learned that her father died and went into cardiac arrest, she simply had a heart attack at the news.

A few days passed, there was a military funeral, full of people, many supported their families and everything, I swear I don't go to any other funeral but mine.

So far, grandma Lala has not woken up, the situation is serious, she is in critical condition and they cannot operate because she is in a coma, all this and the other less important question is, for who will my guard, after a week there will be a hearing, for now, the legal guardian is June, my father's wife and is now my guardian.

I went to June's house after being released from the hospital, Uncle Sean took me, we had a snack he talked to me and when I went to June's house it was late, when I got there she received me with a frown and said:

"I don't want a murderer in my house no you bastard can go to hell, you don't come in here, I already called the police!"

"Why do you hate me so much June, I never hurt you, I don't care, but I'm still your son's brother and your husband's son!" I said tiredly and with a thought forming in my head.

"SHUT UP!! YOU FUCKING FUCK!! WHAT DO YOU KNOW? AFTER YOU SHOW UP MY LIFE HAS BEEN TURNED TO HELL!! WHY DON'T YOU DIE, YOU KILLER!!!!"

June freaks out and jumps on top of me, with a chimney shovel and hits me aiming for the head, after three attempts two took my chest and one on my solar plexus, I ran with all my strength, but I couldn't breathe, I threw myself in a bush, everything was dark, I didn't see anything else and I passed out.

After leaving June's house after leaving Alex, I went straight to the police station, looking for all the information about my best friend's death, when I got there I spoke to the deputy chief, who collaborated and gave me a recording of the central.

From what I've heard, it seems Jimmy Po shot first Earl defended himself, it's very sad to hear the last words of my best friend, almost brother, but what makes me sadder is knowing that Alex was in the middle of everything, the boy had to see the father kill another person and still get hurt in the process. He was his father's last hope for survival, I can't even imagine what he went through, I have to take this here for June to hear and at the very least she has to leave the boy alone, if not, I would take custody of Alex.

Soon I arrived at June's house, where she was in the backyard, looking for something with a chimney shovel in her hands, I called her attention, and explained why I came, she readily agreed, after listening to the whole recording, June was crying a lot, and he had a face that did something, only now I realized something.

"Where is Alex?" After the question June goes into despair and tells, everything she said and did, and that she regrets.

We went out to look for him, but it was all dark and we don't have a great chance of finding an injured and scared child in the middle of the woods, I swear that woman is crazy, after seeing a boy who lost his whole family in a short time, instead of treating the boy like a suffering child, she attacks him, for no reason, I don't know what I'm going to do, or how I'm going to face Alex now.

Dawn and we didn't find anything, June looks like she's going to cry at any moment, but I don't regret it, I'm going to the police station to ask them to look for him, this boy suffered a lot to be alone and without care out there in the world. After what seems like hours we finally have news, at his grandparents' house they found a note, along with a hunting rifle, in the letter it said that he had no more reason to stay and that's why he left, he has no destination and that he loved her Lala and Bob, also asked me to take care of Bob Lee and that he didn't trust June, and also that he forgave her, one day he comes back.

I think the boy doesn't feel safe anymore without his father and ran away, I can't leave him alone in the world, according to the police, he stole a neighbor's classic car and drove away, the direction is not known but they have already issued ann alert for all texas, hope they find him, I'm taking custody of Alex.

I woke up with the sun on my face, I felt a pain in my chest, I got up and looked around, I'm in the middle of a bush, memories of last night come to my mind, and finally, I realized that bringing alone with my two relatives, one if not you can stay next to me and the other one is in a coma, I'm a minor, or I stay at the children's center or I stay with June, maybe Sean, but I would still be in danger because Ray Brooks saw it clearly and that could be dangerous for Bob or Granny Lala, I only have one option, it's to leave Texas and live for myself, I'm going to have to disappear for a while until the dust settles.

With a plan in mind I run to my house, I enter Grandma Mary's room which has been closed and tampered with since her death, I go into the closet, I took the floorboards and I took the secret bag, this bag is something that grandma kept for a long time. Two reasons, the first and original was grandpa Charles' pension money after he died grandma didn't use his money, but saved it for dad's college, after dad served the army without going to college she kept it him for an emergency, and then he left the money as my college fund and Bob's as well.

Now it's my passport to life, I don't know if Ray Brooks is on my tail, but I have nothing to hold on to here in this town but grandma and Bob, but going away that protects them so that's one more reason, the second is that if want to stay alive I have to get strong, powerful and then I will live and get revenge, atlas, conspiracy or whatever it is will fall and I will kill ray brooks and red Obama personally.

Before leaving I went to see Bob Lee, to say goodbye, I can't waste time, I went into his room and left a secret note, his father's old rifle will stay with him, then I went to Susan's house and left a letter for her and Alan, now there's only one letter left for the authorities and he's out.
