Chapter 16 - Chapter Sixteen

Sabella broke down in tears when she got back into their room. I shot him, Sheila and it was a game over for him. What happens to those who had a game over from the game? Calm down, sister. You don't know that yet. Sheila prayed Alex would come in soon.

They didn't see him during the shootout and he is still nowhere to be found. She was deceived into coming here too. She's heard of Alex and Cal from her father before his death. Knowing Alex would be coming north she wished to meet him and ask him about what happened but Alex is a closed-off person.

She wouldn't blame him though, he's had a rough childhood while hers runs smoother than his. She's had the privilege of growing up with The Mouziz while he lived with his brother in a studio apartment running errands just to make ends meet.

She also knew her father was a father to him just like he was to her. That's why she didn't tell him whose daughter she was. While Sabella wailed over what happened Alex was fighting hard to revive the boy who was shot.

Sabella's bullet had hit the person behind him but grazed the boy's arm. What's worse the villain Sabella killed was the boy's father who has been made into a very bad dummy. His last word had been to help my son out of here.

And that's what he needed to figure out. He has to tell Sabella and Sheila the truth behind the game. Sheila's appearance in the game had confirmed his doubt. Calix and his mother had been lying to him and the one who he thought was a father to him was their accomplice too.

He knew what Sheila wants from him but he needed answers too. If the one he saw that night was his father then making him join this game was a way to lure his brother in for his use. Alex used his index finger to give the boy a massage while he racked his brain on what the man outside this wanted from him.

He made his way into their room with the boy in his arms. It's time to say the truth about this whole thing and if what he was thinking is what that man wants it will just be a matter of time before his spy comes into the game to ask for it. Well, he could go to hell because he is getting everyone out of this hellhole.

When Alex got to the room, the sight he saw was what he expected. He placed the boy gently on his bed and walked over to hers. Thank you Sheila he gestured to his cousin. I will take it from here. Hey, he brushed her hair gently. Seeing him, tears she had no idea she stored in came rushing.

Bambina, Alex coaxed gently. Please stop crying it breaks me to see you like this. I killed him, Lex she choked. He was just a little boy and I killed him. Alex placed her on his lap gently. No, you didn't bambina, you didn't kill anyone you didn't even fire the gun someone else did and no he is not dead.

She raised her head abruptly. What do you mean not dead, I heard game over when he went down with his captor. Alex kissed her forehead gently. No bambina, he is not dead and you didn't fire that gun. I was there somebody else did. Look over there, he pointed to his bed where Sheila was with the boy in her arms.

Sabella rushed to his bedside and cradled the boy who seems to be asleep. Did you find him? She asked him. After you left I went there to confirm, the one down was his father the boy was just grazed. What do you mean by-- she looked up at him in realisation. Yes, the villain was his father who had no idea he was about to shoot his son and no you weren't the one that shot him. You were able to break from the control.

Thank you she muttered with relief. I guess this is why I- she stopped. What do you mean by what you said earlier? Alex who was expecting the words she was about to utter grunted frustratingly.

You didn't shoot the gun like I said earlier, someone else did to give me a message, the people who were game over died for real. They are humans, not AI remember? Pushing them into the game doesn't make them one either.

If she wasn't the one who shot the gun who did then, Sheila asked. Alex looked straight at the door. Hello Camille, long time no see. Camille popped from the backdoor into the room. You are one son of a bitch, your brain works like a machine. Camille said smiling at him. Alex looked at him with a bored expression.

I always knew you were no good, now I can confirm you are a minion. How much is he paying you? Alex cut him off. Camille felt the sting but kept his cool. Since you are not in for a chitchat between friends. Oh, I forgot you never liked me. If you had then I might have changed sides.

I truly liked you Lex but you shun me off at every opportunity you get. You remind me of him. I am nothing like him Alex bellowed. Yeah right, just the brooding part of him. I will go straight to the point then.

He said you should tell him what he wants else, your brother, hers he pointed to Sabella, Sophia and Amielia's dead bodies will be laid at your feet when you come out. Since I am here I need to stay to help you with it.

Alex looked at him eye to eye. If he doesn't kill my brother I might myself for lying to me for years. So he should be my guest. As for her brother. If he wanted you dead you'd be already. Henry Mac isn't someone you could pick on a whim. So take your bloody self and tell your boss I will give him a fitting reply when I come out of this.

Heed the warning Alex Vic, Camille warned him. You might want to tell them what this is all about. He left the room chuckling.
