Sergeant Gomez was feeling so confused, wondering, 'How did she know, she came unexpected yet prepared for this.
If only she had seen the bullet, they extract from his bullet proof vest. Thank God, we always have a spear suit in the patrol van he is travelling in.
This last few months he has change so much taking so many precaution, yet this happen.
Before he discards the jacket in the bin, I could see the fear in his eyes as he stroked the spot.
It was aimed directly to his heart. The time before the bullet was aimed for his head, that young office push him out of the way, saving his life.
Today his vest saved his life, I am certain someone is praying for him.'
Noticing Alex using his right hand touching her face, saying, "I am glad you are here."
Feeling his small hand, Alex stoop down and take him up, "Papa mummy cry."
Looking at her, seeing the tears, Alex said to her, "I am fine, so please don't worry about me."
Saying to Sergeant Gomez, "Please take us home, and then return to the office, I am asking you and Melissa to hold the reign until I am back."
In the van, Ales asks, "Sweetheart, why are you her?"
Diandra responds as she hold his hands, "Alex, I dreamt that you got shot, I was calling to warn you, but you never answered your phone, so I came up?"
"Sorry, it was just a busy day and I believed I forget my phone in the office. Now I don't want you worrying, it is just a scratch."
"Alex, why would someone want to shoot you?"
Seeing the fear in her eyes, not wanting to lie to her, embracing her, "We are together now, and it is really just a bruise."
"Alex, you are not answering my question, why would someone want to shoot you?"
"Sweetheart, it was a stray bullet, it's just that I was at the wrong place, at the wrong time."
"Papa!"
Alex see the tears, and hugs him, "Your mummy will be fine son, don't cry."
Hearing her phone ringing, recalling her question searching for his phone, 'Oh dear God, where is my phone, with everything happening, I can't seem to remember where I used it last.'
Looking at her, 'Did she answer her phone?' When is rings again, "Diandra, answer your phone?"
When she wipes the tears, 'If I don't tell her the truth it will bring a rift between us, and if I tell her exactly what really happened, she will worry and it will affect the baby.
What should I do, but I am glad she is here?' Hearing her speaking to Maria, when she said, "Sam wants what? Maria tells Sam he will have to wait.
Maria just one minute please, Maria please stop, I am not home right now. Maria listens to me, I am in Brixton with Alex.
Look I just get up this morning and decided to take Champ to see his dad, he wanted to see Alex so we will be here for a few days.
Maria, Champ is alright, You are asking about Alex? Yes Maria, Alex is alright to, he is right here with me, do you want to say hello?"
Seeing Alex look at her then turn his head, wondering what he was thinking.
"Maria, it is just for a few days, I came up to do some shopping, so I decided to stay here for the weekend. I will not be to stress out with the travelling back and forth the same day."
Hearing her saying that Sam has some work to do, "Maria if the work is important and cannot wait until next week, then call Ken and tell him to bring it here? I will do it and will you give my love to Sam."
Seeing Alex smile as he looks at her. "Alex, what is going on in that head of yours?"
"I was thinking, you left Sam and came to me, that feels so good. I never though you will do that in a million years."
"You are hurt but if something happens to Sam, and I have to make a choice you already know who I am choosing?
I am just here to see if the place is ready, I overheard Sam and Maria talking that Ken and Beverly will be moving in next week."
Alex looks at her, 'She always have an answer but she also said she dreamt that I was shot and that's why she came.
I knows she will choose Sam for the many sacrifices he made for her, but I also know she loves me.'
Opening the gate then give Diandra the key. As she unlocks the door Alex just lean against the wall holding Champ hand.
Alex waited patiently until we enters the house, then turn around taking her in his arm, "Thank you for coming."
When he flinches Diandra saw the frown then he drops his hand down. Realizing he was having pain, "Let me get you some water and where is the medication?"
"We will have to buy it."
Thinking, 'If he did only say that before, we could have stop and get it on the way home. "Okay, go to your room and take a lie down and I will be up in a minute."
Watching how slowly he walks the stairs, I calls out to him, "Alex!"
"Yes, my love."
"Alex, did they apprehend the shooter?"
"Yes love;"
"Alex, did anyone else got hurt during the shoot out?"
"No!"
"Very good, will you be needing any help?"
"No, I will manage thanks."
Entering his room, Alex sits on the bed feeling as though his inside was trembling. 'I have never felt so scared in my life, Oh God thank you for bringing Diandra, I don't think I could have stayed home alone.'
Untying his shoes as the tears flow, Alex hurried to the bathroom before Diandra comes up and find him falling apart.
Washing his face and hand, Alex took some deep breath so his body could relax and the trembling will subside and he will regain control of his emotion.
'He also knew he cannot let what is happening to him, cause a setback to the moving of Sam and Maria this weekend.'
