Alex didn't stop once he started, no matter how much Mr. Crestfall yelled. Alex quieted the audience again, which they did immediately. They didn't want to miss anything. Alex lifted a police report into the air. "This is the police report from the wreck. The driver of the truck that struck my daughter's car belongs to a Mr. Kitt Williams. The same man that shot me," He added before glancing at Mr. Crestfall.
Alex set the files down and crossed his arms lightly, "You're right. Documents can be forged. That's why I even brought audio evidence." Alex pulled out the cell phone from his pocket holding it out. "Mrs. Crestfall, My mother-in-law, brought me this. She didn't like the way Mr. Crestfall was treating her daughter and decided to record every phone call or conversation about the manner." Alex put the phone near the microphone and pushed play, letting the people hear it. The voice was definitely Mr. Crestfalls. On one recording it had Mr. Crestfall yelling about how Kaia returned. Then the other was him ordering the hit on Alexa.
The crowd became an uproar, some even yelling at Mr. Crestfall saying he was a monster. Alex looked at the people in the audience, "We will hand out a set of the documents to each media and newspaper team in the audience. My assistants will pass them out," He said, hearing a shrill from the crowd.
Mr. Crestfall broke away from the security guards and went to attack Alex. Without changing his expression, Alex dodged his attack before grabbing his arm and kicking his legs off from under him. Mr. Crestfall landed on his back with a grumble. The security took him back in custody. Alex dusted his hands off as if he was handling trash before looking at the people. "Thank you for attending this event. I must return to my wife and daughter," He turned to leave.
Mr. Crestfall called out, "Sabor. Why didn't you just take me out?" He said only where Alex could hear him. Alex didn't even look at him, "I'm not rubbish. I won't stoop as low as you," He proclaimed walking from the venue. Zac went to the front to close out the event.
Mr. Crestfall was taken into custody, and a warrant of arrest was issued for Caine. Alex returned to the hospital as quickly as he could. When Alex walked in, Bretton was playing for the now Semi-awake Alexa. Kaia looked up at Alex and smiled, "She awoke moments ago." Bretton stopped playing and moved away, giving Alex some room to get through.
Alex walked over to the bed leaning down lightly placing a kiss on Alexa's forehead." Hey baby girl, you had me worried," he lifted his head to look at Alexa who was silently crying. Alex frowned, "Are you okay? Are you in pain?" He asked, caressing her cheek.
Alexa didn't say anything; she just closed her eyes. Alex looked to Kaia in question, "Why isn't she speaking?" Kaia shrugged, shaking her head."The pain meds are strong. She might just be tired still. Give her time," She said softly, as Alex walked over sitting next to her.
Bretton placed the keyboard back in place gathering his things. "Thanks for letting me come again. I have to go to the company; I can't slack off, "He said looking at Alex. Alex smirked, "I'll call you a car. The main entrance might be hectic still so use the secret side entrance." Bretton smiled and waved."Thanks again! I'll come again soon, "He announced before walking out.

Days went by, and Alexa was getting better and better. Because of her lung, she had to stay on oxygen. Her skin graft took well, and it looked like her burns were never there, besides a small scar on the back of her neck.
Bretton visited every day. He came with new songs to play and some homework so she wouldn't get behind. Everything seemed great; She was moving bit by bit and interacting more. The only concern everyone had was the fact that she wasn't speaking.
Alex and Kaia began to worry, so they decided to talk to the doctors to see what to do. The doctors suggested therapy, thinking it was psychological since there was nothing wrong in or around her voice box.
After a week and a half, the doctors decided to let Alexa go home since her lung was healing well. At this time she kept a dry erase board with her to write out her words instead of speaking. Bretton and Alexa sat on the couch in the living room doing homework for the day.
Kaia sat in the kitchen going through Sabor Sights books, still getting everything back in order. She didn't like the feeling she had. Her gaze turned to Alexa, and she frowned lightly. Why wasn't she speaking? Kaia looked down back at the papers before stacking them up going around the counter to get dinner prepared.
Bretton finished a problem and then looked up. "Alexa… Why won't you talk?" He asked, closing his book, setting it to the side. Alexa looked at him then back down at her book. Bretton let out a small sigh, stretching. "How about I sing you something, Your choice," He said pointing at the piano.
Alexa nodded and picked up her board writing something down before holding the board up to him. It read, 'Do the ponies lullaby.' Bretton looked over her words before nodding. He sat at the piano and played for her while singing. When he finished the lullaby, he just played a little melody on the piano that he's been writing for a while. He kept playing even though hearing Alexa clank her marker against the board trying to get his attention.
The more he ignored her, the more displeased Alexa became. She tried throwing a balled up piece of paper and nothing. Scowling slightly, she slammed her hands down."Bretton! Don't ignore me!" She exclaimed, puffing angrily. Bretton turned at the sound of her voice. He blinked for a few seconds before smirking, "I didn't think it would actually work."
