The room Xander was being treated in was spacious,set like a real ward in a hospital with hospital facilities,there were frames and portraits to elevate the room from the caliginous atmosphere but the machines couldn't be hidden.
Isabelle wipe her tears inspecting his figure on the bed,she amble towards him slowly but she felt weak and fell on her knees by the bed sobbing bitterly,his hair was shaved and his head wrapped in bandages though he was breathing well without any need of oxygen there was still one on him.
It's the first time she has seen him since the accident took place,he was taken out of the country due to how serious his injuries were and was brought back today,it was hard not to travel over to the States but she had to wait,she had some scores to settle.
"Some of his wounds are healing" Grandma Lisa kneel beside Isabelle. "Our Xander is going to come out of it just fine" She hug Isabelle and strangely Isabelle felt more hugs.
***********
"I know how you feel Issy,trust me I feel worse but killing Poca is... I'll take care of it,I promise but you out there,alone,is dangerous"James said,they were all seated in Rick Mack study.
"James is right...for once anyway" James throw Aukey a warning look. "I'll do it,I ended Triplicate"
"Yes,Issy,at this rate we all have to be careful, we've to thread carefully"Grandpa Tom agreed,they all kept quiet when the door opened and Micah along with Gary step in,Aukey face lit into a smile staring at Gary, Isabelle frown and glance at Gary who's as surprised as her.
"Hi" Aukey wave,Gary smile and nervously went to sit, Isabelle glare at Aukey suspiciously as he bob his head like a lizard with a full smile until Gary took his seat.
"You take pride in killing too much for an officer,you hurt innocent people..."
"Your brother wasn't innocent,he was indirectly working for me,ask him"
" Are you gay?"Aukey jaw drop "You were smiling so much" Isabelle snap and face the others.
"I'll take care of this,I called Bodgan and the others and the plan is in motion,I know you guys have mixed feelings about this but you'll have to pardon my rudeness,I won't be able to listen to you today... I'll end him myself"
"It's dangerous my dear, you've handled this type of people for decades but..."
"Uncle William,this isn't about our family, it's about my husband, Xander didn't do anything to those people, he's been punished for something he knows nothing about and to me that's isn't fair,I can handle it"
"If she says she can I believe she can, she'll handle Poca but what about the election,how do we stop it? It's gonna take place in three month after the primary elections"Aukey assert.
"We've to do all this without Xander then"Douglas Mack chimed in. "Honestly I just want all of this to end before Xander wakes up"Isabelle and the others nod.
"Can i..." Aukey stop Isabelle from speaking further with a look,she sigh and bob her head,he understood what was gonna pop out of her mouth,to her also she feels telling Rick mack in front of everyone else that his wife is still alive won't be fair, it's going to hit him harder than being told carefully and precise in private. "I'll tell you how everything goes"
"Keep me the most informed"James said. "Please"
"I will James,I promise"
"Hi Isa" Isabelle answered her call and her gaze darken as she walks away from a cafeteria with Aukey. "I didn't see your message last night"
"I was wondering,just wondering why you didn't reply,but I'm happy to get to hear your voice and be sure you are fine"
"Is Xander fine?No, I'm very sorry for how things turned out, Although I don't like the guy but I don't wish him dead"Isabelle angrily chew the inside of her cheek.
"Bronsilaw,i know that you might act like a dog but you aren't, I've some information about a drug cartel connected to Emeryk,I already showed it to Bodgan but...you know how he is, he said it's not genuine, we've been working together and I felt that you're the only person who can help me,Can we meet? "
"Isabelle,don't be funny, of course I'm available we can meet, where?"
"New life restaurant along Area B station road"Aykey stiffen. " I'm at the Mack securities at the moment"
"I can come over and pick you..."
"No,no Bron, I'm fine, I'll meet you there"
"Not one minute late"
"Trust me on that" Isabelle mumble and end the call,Aukey open his palms in front of her. "What?"
"My car keys" A smile elicited from Isabelle face. "Isabelle,I just bought this car,truth be told I thought you really wished me well when you suggested the car but...oh God, you're so cunning"
"Do you trust me?"Aukey froze. "No,you don't, so don't 'Thought' like you said ever again, Goodnight,take a taxi home or oh...call Katy"
"How dare you..."
"What?" Isabelle move closer. "Thought I didn't notice huh,you and my husband might share the same face but swears your characters are different, while my husband is so careful about his personal relationship you aren't,I promise to be your best lady,don't worry" Isabelle walk away leaving the chief with his face as white as a sheet.
"Uncle" Isabelle mutter with so much delight for the first time hearing Emeryk voice. "Why so early? Didn't think of you betraying your son so soon"
"I'm calling to make a deal with you Isabelle" Isabelle lift her brows for a second. "Poca for your father two month before the secondary election"
"Dad might..."
"That's how it's going to work for us both,an eye for an eye, isn't that right?"Isabelle grin.
"Your son demonstrated that pretty well uncle"Isabelle shot back. "Bye now Uncle"

Bronsilaw frown as he drove towards the New life restaurant,the restaurant wasn't a big one so the space for parking is meant for something else,as Bronsilaw ponder on where to park his car a call came in.
"Where did she ask you to meet with her?" A voice thundered. "Are you a fool?"
"Dad,I trust Isabelle,yeah I feel skeptical about this but she wouldn't hurt me,I saved her from your clutches, remember?"
"Poca, I'm your father and you're going to listen to me,turn the car and head towards the mansion, Okay?"
"Dad, I'm in love with..."
"TURN THE CAR AND HEAD TOWARDS THE MANSION"Emeryk repeated with a raised voice.
"Okay, Dad" Bronsilaw answered coolly and disconnect the call another call came in but instead of a grunt he smiled and pick up.
"Who orchestrated Xander's accident?" His body became rigid. "Bronsilaw,who orchestrated Xander Mack accident?"
"Issy,I..."
"Lies" Isabelle scream. "Whatever you're about to spout...all are just lies like you, You lied so blatantly and I could swear I never had a second thought,The plan was to kill Sasha,am I right?Then why did you change it knowing she isn't there?"
"I didn't,if it's about the call to the Area b station yeah I admit it was a lie,I wanted to see you"
"The chief made a deal with you,Xander life for Hans, didn't he?The accident...he gave you that idea, didn't he?He assured you of everything"
"It was her all along"Isabelle kept quite in awe. "I stalked her,every day and night and do you know when I paused...the day Nadi died, I know everything from the start,though saving you came out of helplessness,I would be a fool not to carefully move with a snake,She murdered my mother"
"15 Bron,she was fifteen,it was all a mistake"
"Hurting your husband is also a mistake,accept it all as mistake,you wanna punish me?Really?A kin to God now? You've a cop who orchestrated his brother accident to get a cousin and you're blaming me?Why is he spared?is he a saint?"
"Maybe I'm just waiting for the right time to destroy him Poca"Isabelle whisper, Bronsilaw lips stretch and part. "It won't end so soon Poca,I won't end you so soon,at least you deserve that from me... Second week of the fifth month...I hope we meet again"
Bronsilaw heart rammed in his chest,he glance at the road ahead and reversed clearly now aware of the danger,driving dangerously fast he didn't see the car approaching and slammed right into it.

"Hey sis,Sasha as gone into labor, Micah is worried sick and won't calm his nerves,can you come here now?"Jamie said breathlessly.
