"What?" Isabelle snap. "He saved my life,did you think I got out of Emeryk lair because I'm so strong,no...he saved us all,he was the only one willing to risk his life,he lost a lot,his family and friends for us all"
"I doubt that,I couldn't get a thing about his family"
"What???"
"A car is following us" Isabelle glance at the rearview mirror. "The lemon color Old sedan"
"Do you know who they are?" Xander shook his head swerving the car to the other lane by the Y shaped roadside. "They are go... Hell" Isabelle cussed sighting the car again. "They are still following us"
"Calm down,it could be nothing,this is the only road to The Mack security from here"
Isabelle rub her palm,irritated at how slow Xander is driving,shocked by his questions and angry at the car following them. "Xander"
"Yes"
"I decided to keep the baby and it's not because of Bron because whether I give him a nickname or not you're the only one I love,I love you and you know I do,so don't get jealous of Bronsilaw, he's just a friend"Isabelle saw his the side of his lips curl up and smiled herself.
"I love you too Isabelle, I'll try not to be...hey did you just say you're... Isabelle"
"Keep driving"
"How can i..."
"Xander" Isabelle yell in panic. "There's a truck in front of us" Xander turn quickly from the road to the other adjacent it to avoid the hit,he cussed silently when met head on with an unbalanced truck. "The car...we lost them" Isabelle mutter.
" We're ambushed, fuck...damn it" Xander glance at her and then at the truck,with how unbalanced the truck was they can't avoid to pass nor reverse because the other truck is waiting to crumple them. "It's gonna be fine,we can go through"
"Are you sure?"Isabelle voice shook with unshed tears.
"I might get a scratch but I'll be fine,just sit tight,okay?"She nodded. "I love you"
"I love you too"
"Okay,At the count of three I'm gonna move,One...Two...Three"The engine roared to life, Xander heave and lunged forward, fast and precise but before it could get to the truck a lemon color Old sedan hit them from the side.
Bam..bam..crewch.
Xander took of his seatbelt quickly as the car got slammed to a nearby tree,he could see from the corner of his eyes that the truck had lost it hold from the hit,He hug Isabelle who's still shivering from the impact.
"Hey,no tears, it's gonna be fine,okay?"
"Nothing is fine, Xander,nothing is fine,they are..."
"Don't you trust me?"She sobs and place her hands on his shoulder,she roll her head to look into his eyes but he guide her head protectively. "Let's get out of here"
"Okay" Isabelle mumble and froze when something hit the car, she could tell it was the truck, horror stricken she could feel Xander stiffen,an hollow scream escaped her throat and she blacked out.

"Sir" A young police man salute as Aukey saunter into his office.
"Yes Micheal,what is it this time?" Aukey disconnect his call and face the young officer.
"We got a call from the Area b unit"
"Okay"Aukey said skeptically and open his laptop.
"They said... um...sir since you told them to tell you about every incident there they..."
"Micheal go on"
"Five minutes ago,they heard a collision and then an explosion"Aukey expression grew dim.
"Did it get to the Mack securities?"
"No sir but they...There was an ambush,it was deadly sir,I heard there might be no survivors"
"Get to the point Micheal"Aukey snap.
"Xander Mack and his wife was the victim sir"Aukey felt a bang in his head,shock and fear grip him.

"What?" Micah scream from his office. "No survivors?What the hell are you saying?Get them out,Get the whole force working,are you insane?"The door of his office burst open which made him suck back his anger.
Sasha and Katy appear from the doorway earning a gasp from Micah. "What a surprise" He force a smile at the two,Sasha slam her fist on the table and massage her temple.
"Don't you dare lie to me Micah,don't you even try to"
"What?"
"Xander was supposed to be at the Mack securities, it's been minutes and I haven't seen him,strangely there was an accident not far to the Mack securities and the Area B police station"Katy explained. " We've tried to talk to Sir Rick and the police DGP but none of them is telling the truth"
"What truth?"
"We heard you talking Micah, Where's Isabelle and Xander?"Sasha yell.
"I also don't..."
"Can't you see we're worried?You think it's a good feeling to feel on the edge? What's going on? I'm scared as it is and your silence isn't helping"Micah inhale and exhale,he stood up from the swivel chair and came to sit on the sofa.
"Micah,Are they okay?
"Not really, I'm not sure"Micah lied. "I called Xander five minutes ago and he sounded fine,very fine but you guys are saying you got some news about an accident,hours ago"He heard the sighs of relief from the both of them and sigh himself.
"Not hours but if you say you called him five minutes ago and he seemed fine then he must be fine because the accident happened ten minutes ago or so"
"You see,nothing happened"Micah said but he swore he could see the doubt in Sasha eyes and he couldn't blame her,Xander is her only brother,the only sibling and the only one that'd been with her through every little things. "I'm sorry" He heard himself say and his tears broke out like a dam.

Rick wipe his fallen tears staring at Aukey,The chief fell to his feet his mask taken off,his shoulder swell and Rick could see the blood dripping from it. "I'm sorry"
Rick Mack kneel and embrace Aukey. "What do you mean by that?"
"I made this happen,I did all this,I failed"
"Aukey,you did nothing,okay?" Rick mack mutter. "They're both going to be fine"
" Mack"A man in white coat saunter down the Mack stairs,Aukey, Rick mack and his father glance up in a stiff posture. "You were late in bringing him"
"What do you...you mean by late,Rove?" Rick mack bark,Aukey exhale hard.
"He lost a lot of blood,the shards were deeply buried in his back, let's thank God it didn't hit his spinal cord"Doctor Rove said and halt in front of Rick. "We tried our best Mack,but he slipped into coma and we've to transfer him from this place as fast as possible"
# AT THE CITY HOSPITAL IN WARSAW.
"Families of Mack"Greta and the group saunter towards the doctor. "Where's Jamie Augustyn please?"
"I'm here"Worriedly she rub her palm together. "Is everything okay with my sister doctor?"
"Where are the people who brought her in..."
"They went to fetch some things, How's Isabelle doing?"Bodgan chimed in. " We're her family you know?"
"I understand but can I ask who you're exactly to..."
"He's her brother,for goodness sake" Maja yell.
"I need to talk to you two alone" The doctor said sternly and amble towards his office, Bodgan sigh and hug Jamie when she burst into tears.
"She's gonna be fine"
"God,I know...I,,I know, she's strong but pregnant Bodgan,anything could be wrong"Jamie sob. "And Xander,who knows what happened to him,his condition wasn't great when Edwine called"
" Everything is going to be just fine Jamie,stop worrying"Bodgan whisper to her and open the office door,The doctor usher them in and lean on his swivel chair.
"You don't need to worry about Mrs Mack,yes,her condition is critical but she's going to be fine"
"What about the baby sir?" Jamie ask.
"Nothing is wrong with the baby, now it depends on how Mrs Mack responds to treatment"
Bodgan whiff and let out a nervous chuckle. "I thought she isn't okay"
"No sir, she's fine,just in shock and her system seems to respond in a different way, she's still unconscious and will be for some hours"
"Can we see her?"
"No,after she's conscious,her health isn't balanced yet and we don't want any surprises"The doctor said,both Jamie and Bodgan nodded.
"Thank you doctor,please inform us as things goes"
"No problem, Mr Augustyn" The doctor shake hands with Bodgan firmly. "Thank you for your time"
Bodgan open the door ajar for Jamie and step out himself,they both stop in track when they heard Sasha voice from the hallway of the hospital.
