ALEXA’S POV
After the shootout, the police had called the paramedics. One of them attended to me, to treat the wounds and bruises that Cody had inflicted me with.
I observed my environment as other paramedics combed the area and picked up the dead bodies.
I could see that they were the bodies of the men that inflicted pain on me. They had beaten me and made me see hell on earth. During those times, I had thought I was going to die but thankfully, I was strong until the end.
I noticed a body bag that they were carrying with ease. It was Cody’s dead body, I looked at him, gave him a spiteful look. If I had not withdrawn from these bad ways, this would have been my end too.
Thank goodness that I left those sinful ways. I looked away as they carried his body into the vehicle. Then I began to worry about Nolan.
Nolan wasn’t able to save me, and he hasn’t come to see me. I’m sure he knew that I was saved already, or could he be planning something?
Not long after I thought about Nolan, one of the female officers who just finished talking to her colleagues regarding the case, came over to meet me.
She hugged me deeply and patted my back like she was telling me I’m fine now and already in safe hands.
“I hope there are no complications, Alexa?” She asked with a concerned face.
“No, I’m totally fine,” I assured her while looking around for Nolan.
“If you are looking for Mr. Brown, he asked me to bring you home,” she gave a light smile and helped me up.
While we walked back to the car, I thought about why Nolan didn’t come over to meet me instead. It felt like my mind could go crazy, trying to understand the situation.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
“Can I ask you some questions, if you don’t mind?” She asked while putting on her recorder.
“Please, put that off. I can’t answer any questions right now, I really need rest from all I went through,” I said, as I would rather not say the wrong thing.
“Alright,” she put off the recorder and started the car.
After a few hours, we got to Nolan’s house and I thanked her for the ride. I went into the house and saw as everywhere was dark. Only the light from Anthony’s office illuminated the stairway. I looked around and remembered when I came here to get a job and all the nice times I had with both Anthony and Nolan.
Things seemed a bit dark and scary with the whole Cody issue, but I felt better as I witnessed his death. There would be no more threats from him or his people.
Then I climbed the stairs, heading to Anthony’s office to see who was there and to my surprise which was just 50% because who else would be there, if not Nolan.
He sat on his father’s chair with the letter I wrote, left open on the table.
