Silver Bullets, TheRoost [leveled readers txt] 📗

his eyes and his breathing increased. "I thought you were on the defense's side, because I was gone the day you testified. I thought, while trying to get close to your father, I could have you. Those were the three best bloody years of my life.

"When your brother got put on the stands and you gave your name, I finally had an excuse to marry you with the consent to the agency; otherwise you would have been too involved, and then at the hotel...you broke my heart. It wasn't until after your father was arrested when I realized yours must have been broken as well. I couldn't rest until I found you, and I used my "ins" in the agency to track you down; but, damn him, your father protected you extremely well before he was hauled off. It took 4 years of following false trails to realize that you were not

in Cuba, as I was led to believe, but in America. I felt so idiotic; you told

me you wanted to move there.

"So, I had to work with the FBI to find out where you were, but your father was a clever son-of-a-bitch: he protected you there too. Thank god Golde saw you at the party, or I would have never had found you. And look where you would be if I hadn't."

I smiled; Golde had talked to me even, chatted about my life now. I heard paramedics frantically gathering the supplies it would take to save Marcus.

"I never stopped loving you," I whispered. He smiled: what a beautiful sight, one I though I would always have to live without. "I know you feel the same."

He closed his eyes and a small, nearly inaudible sigh passed through his lips. The paramedics whisked him away, and I cried, this time for joy.

I had found my king at last.

At 8pm this evening, a young woman was saved from a rape from local gang member, Darnay Karol. Karol has been arrested for drug possession and was currently wanted by a hit-and-run. Darnay was killed by none-other than Gabriel Kingsley, the remarkable lawyer that was last seen in the States, and the young woman was his ex-wife, Laura Bergs. Gabriel died in the hospital from loss of blood and Laura was then taken to the local Insane Assylum, and promptly killed herself. She wrote her story in a notebook later found at the scene, along with the suicide note saying "My king awaits me." More at eleven...
