Chris yells at Bob,'Yes, I lied to you, you fucking moron'

Bob stood crestfallen in front of him, holding a .99ml gun at his head,'The whole thing, the street ambush, it was all you'.

Chris tries to get close,Bob jams the muzzle of the pistol into his forehead'.

Bob wipes off the tears by the back of his hand.

1 hour before....

About 5'o' clock in the morning.The squeezing sound of the tires resonated the whole area;the over steered car drove through bob's driveway, and crashed into the tree.

Bob fastened to the door, and opened it.A man came out of the car, and started walking towards him.

Bob squinted his eyes, amidst the black smoke rising from the car's engine, he couldn't saw his face,but a sillhoutte of him in the commencing dawn. As he was now at the doorstep,he raised himself;grabbed bob by the collar, and said in a low mechanical voice,'Where's my brother?'.

1 week before....

Shimz,'Aaric was not in Akron.I asked from his co-workers at the factory where he used to work, they gave me quite an earful about this man's nature.He didn't even drink bear. For God knows what happened on that highway.Wife,Elizabeth,she died couple of years ago due to leukemia.No one, but a son named Kevin, who's in his high school years. They've been living in this neighborhood, which was just a few steps away from the factory..

First, I thought Chris would be there too,I asked around, and I came to know about his new identity, under the name of "Clein", tried to find him too,but not even a trace.He was living with this junkie,named Bob Benjamin.I didn't talk to him, at least he wasn't in danger.Started keeping checks on Kevin everyday, he seemed fine, but I knew,if he left him here,it means, he knew where Aaric was.

Aaric where are you, did the earth swallow you, or it's just an invasion by the sky.You did good, you left your son out of trouble by leaving him here.He wasn't one of them leaving other people on their own kind, there must be someone keeping eyes on Kevin, providing him with money, and things.I had to find this mysterious man,so I used to drive into the neighborhood,mostly spending the night into Max's 1969 dodge charger, keeping my eyes fixed at the house.

9 hours before

At night, I saw this dubious man walking towards Kevin's home, he didn't seem like his friend or anything.

And I knew him, he was from the faculty, I jacked him right there, showed him the pistol, and made him walk with me.I asked him, he was reluctant to tell me about Aaric, I had to tell him everything, so it took hours to convince him, that I'm the one who's gonna save his ass.Kevin was in contact with his father, and I didn't want to make him nervous or anything so I never talked to him.Instead, I hit the road, right to Cleveland, where Aaric was.

I reached Cleveland at midnight.He was living in one of them motels by the highway.I knocked his door, he didn't open it, I knocked again,but this time with my knuckles.As he opened it, I pushed him back inside, shutting the door behind my back.

Aaric,'Are you the police?'

Shimz,'No,I'm not the police.Listen to me carefully, I'm here to save you, and Kevin'.

Aaric in apprehension,'Kevin?,What did you do to him?.

Shimz,'He's fine, you've to come with me'.

As I was talking,a car drove by the window, I peeped into the night,outside into this red light,which was emerging from the Motel sign.This was my brother, and seeing him, It was a relief.He trudged inside the motel.

Aaric,'Who's this man?'

Shimz,'It would've been your death,If I wasn't here'

As we drove away, he came running out of the motel, and saw us.

Now....

Bob,'They're gone, Chris'

Bob points the gun at his head

Chris,'Whoaa, You're mistaken,brother'.

Bob with a morose voice,'Brother,huh...Clein?'.

Chris,'Yes,I lied to you, you fucking moron'.

Bob stood crestfallen in front of him, holding a .99ml gun at his head,'The whole thing, the street ambush, it was all you'.

Chris tries to get close,Bob jams the muzzle of the pistol into his forehead'.

Bob wipes off the tears by the back of his hand.

Chris,' The whole street thing, it was a set up.I paid the man, who attacked you,but just to be near Kevin'.

Bob,'Yeah, so that you could kill him'.

Chris,'No, I'm just trying to save him.The man, who approached you was Chris, my little bother.Not me;no wonder how,he convinced you that I'm the bad guy.I admit, I did wrong by you.I just wanted to be near Kevin,when the day comes, when he's all mad taking Kevin away as a bait so that, he could trap Aaric right under his nails, and I guess, the day's here'.

Bob was baffled, he didn't understand.

Chris,'You tell me,why did he give you a gun,so that you scare me off,no,no,no,on, he gave you this to kill me,so that he could be able to full fill his insanity.I'm just trying to put a stop to all this madness, tell me, where did he take Kevin.'

Bob takes the gun off.

2 hours before....

I dropped Aaric few miles outside into the outskirts of Akron, and told him to wait there, while I bring Kevin.

Drove back into the neighborhood.Took Kevin out of the house.As me, and Kevin were about to leave, Bob came by.

Bob,'Nice, car'.

Kevin,'It's Bob'.

Shimz,'Yep, I know him really well'.

Shimz gets out of his car.

Shimz,'Hey, What's up.You're Bob Benjamin, right?'

As Bob was finished glancing the interior of the dodge charger, he looked at Kevin,'Yes, I am.What's going on Kevin, is everything alright"

Shimz confronts Bob,'No,it's never been'

Bob,'What's the matter with you?'

Shimz,'You tell me, what are you doing up so early?'

A thought crossed my mind, maybe Chris was here.Is Bob with him, I couldn't take a risk.

Shimz,'Where's Clein?'

Bob,'And Why does it concern you?'

Kevin gets out of the car,'Bob, Clein's not what you think he is'.

Bob in bewilderment,'What did he do?, Is he alright'.

Kevin,'He was here to kill my father'

Bob,'What are you talking about'

Shimz,'He's my brother, and he'll be here soon, if he come's to you, tell him Kevin's gone'.

Bob,'Oh man, did he kill him'

Shimz,'Not yet, If you'll ask more questions, then I'm not sure about his life with the rising sun'.

Bob,'Where are you people going'

Kevin,'Outside of Akron'

Shimz interrupts him,and glares,'Just out of here.Okay, take this'.

he hands over the revolver to bob.

Bob,'What the fuck, why are you giving this to me'

Shimz,'You're literally into this, so if he comes to you, and asks you where'd we go,you don't tell him anything,if things get worse,it's just to scare him off, you see;don't kill him, please'.

Bob stood there as they drove off.
