Chapter 3: Deconstructing The Puzzle
I had tried my best to ignore my feeling and to not show this Albert that I remembered what he did to me, and due to the symptoms I had, I could tell that it was the same Hallucinatory I was injected by in the first time.
"Margot… Margot!" but the only person I didn't want to see had appeared "Mr. Pinkman what can I do for you?" Albert said as entering the room, "nothing Dr. I just need my wife," I answered, "why? What do you need?" he asked me and something had changed; his accent transformed completely, I knew that he was so lightly treating the situation.
"I just missed her," I smiled; knowing that's he will not let her came, but he surprised me "Oh! Ok" his accent backed to normal after he went to call her; I was sure that' he was planning for something, the door was opened I could hear footsteps coming all the way, it's was my wife "Ted! Honey! Do you need anything I whispered loudly, "Margot! Margot! Ple…" I looked at the door to see Albert with her. My wife was surprised by the way I behaved before that's doctor came and after; I thought about something to say.
"Doctor, I need a moment to talk to my wife, please" he smiled and said "I really can't… hospital policy, I'm sorry Ted" I got shamed "then, can my wife fix me up? I'm a little uncomfortable," he said, "Oh! it's ok I will" he was walking to me until "Uh… it is between my legs" I pointed with my fingers, he sighed and nodded to Margot who was confused a little "Can you? Please" I asked her, she raised the cover to see.
"There… Oh! Yes… thanks, sweetheart"
When she finished she looked at me weirdly, and the doctor said to my wife "Now, I need you to let Ted rest" and they went out.
After a couple of hours, a cop opened my door's room; a white man in his 30 years about 6 feet tall, and brown curly hair, with blue eyes, and a massive body, he walked straight at me and said "Sir! Happy to see you okay Sir!" I smiled, "you can now sit Jessi." Suddenly, Doctor Albert ran to the room "You can't talk to the patient" the signals of worries were obvious on his face, I nodded with my head to Jessi, and then he stood up and kicked Albert out as he was shouting "You can't do that's! Security!".
The thing is when Albert called my wife, immediately I took the berry which was on my table —They said that it would help me recover.— I wrote on my brat between my legs as fast as I could "CALL JESSI" and when my wife came to fix me up she read the note and did what I asked her.
Jessi Shreider was my first man; he was the man who I entrusted him on my life and my family's life, he was the co-captain at my unite; and we worked together for more than 7 years.
As he sat on the chair I directly asked him "Where is my boy Jess?" he looked down and sighed.
"Answer me now! That was an order," I said loudly
"He is missing sir," he answered quietly.
"Since when?" I asked again
And he said "85 hours, sir" I was in my bed and stared at the roof thinking.
I've turned my head to him "Listen to me carefully! First, you arrest that son of a bitch who was just here; meaning Albert. Second, you bring one cop here to this room and two to survey my house, and another for Margot, Do you hear me? Especially her, I need her to be safe… I'll be with you in one day... Dismiss Soldier" he stood up "Sir!" and walked out and stopped for a moment "who you think it was? Sir"
"Only kidnaper, serial killer, an avenger… but the sure thing is that's he knows all about me and my family and my job."
As he walked away all of my thinking was heading to the one who took my son from me and I was preparing to begin a war to get Todd back —unknowing that my biggest problem will be the last thing I worry about—.
Saturday, September 5, 2020, and after 5 days in the hospital, the direction was the scene of the crime. I went out at noon with my wife who was helping me walking and Jessi beside me, the weather was cold and the sky was little gray and nebulous, we took Jessi's car and drove to our house.
When we arrived I got out of the car, Margot hurried to help me but I nodded with my head that it's ok, I raised my eyebrows to see the house and remembered Ben and all the illusion in my head, I descended my head and sighed, my wife and Jessi were waiting for me to come, so I started walking.
As we entered the house, my beautiful wife; with her brown eyes and classic hair was wearing a coat of wool, she was in the front because she opened the doors and then Jessi and finally me, in this order. Though I didn't enter the house I was able to observe the cadre which wasn't in a good shape; like someone accidentally hit it, and there was a mark belonging to a man shoe on the stairs but it was very light; the down of shoe was like wavy lines, in a second I looked at Jessi down shoe but it was straight lines.
Suddenly, I screamed "Margot!!" but it was too late because Jessi's body had stopped a bullet which was heading exactly to my wife, Margot shouted and I ran out in the way that's the bullet had come from but I didn't find anything, so I returned to Jessi who had an injury in his heart.
I saw my wife griped him and crying while he was bleeding too much exactly in the threshold of the door, immediately I started pushing on Jessi's hurt, people there were calling 911 and the ambulance, I was screaming "Help! Help" Jessi looked at me and said with difficulty "It was an honor working with you sir" I answered him in a serious accent "Listen to me! Jessi! Don't say that! You will survive, I promise"
He smiled and turned his head down closing his eyes, I told Margot that's we must pull him up to get him in the car, I caught him from the arms and my wife from the legs.
Just after my feet across the door, another shot was released.
I never thought that the gunshot I heard before wasn't a human-shot.
As I lifted my head, I felt like my heart was going to stop, I did not believe my eyes. My job, my work, myself, my whole life, at that moment was looking so small and tight, I was ready to give everything I had, just to back in time, for a few seconds.
It was the hardest thing in my life to see my wife killed in front of my eyes, the shot was in her head, and in those moments I couldn't deal with the fact that my love of life was gone forever.
I paused in my place starring at her falling and bleeding, there was no hope; it's called headshot, one moment after, the ambulance had come, I kneeled and started crying and screaming "Margot! Margot! NO! NO!" I had hugged her and kissed her from everywhere with her corpse between my hands, full of blood, and the neighbors were watching, like it was a movie or they were in the cinema, but that's was my last worries.
Saturday, September 6, 2020, the clock was pointing to 23:00 I was in the hospital beside Jessi; the doctors said that's he would live, thanks to the armor he was wearing. I had 30min since I recovered my mind because I had completely lost it before.
The technicians said that's the gun which shot the two bullets was a small machine made between the walls in the plug, and with capture on the door to detect the movements and kill the one who entered the house, and that's how Margot died. After removing the machine, the criminal team also found another two bodies on the next floor; they were the cops concerned about guarding the house, all of them were choked by a rope.
I was thinking if that was a message for me, after a while, I got an idea, so I took my car and drove straight to my house, I didn't turn the car off and I ran into Todd's room, it was so messy, I looked up in the roof where I saw Todd before and there was a small thread, as I pulled it, a part of the roof came down with some pictures, I picked it's up and I had been shocked.
"My wife was cheating on me! And with who! With my best friend, how could you Jessi? How?" I started talking to myself with a loud voice, instantly I remembered the scene when Jessi injured to save Margot's life, plus her way of crying was overkilled.
"How I was so stupid? It was in front of my eyes but I trusted you, Both of You!" I was talking to myself again and shouting. But When I turned the picture there was a letter which said.
"Hey! I knew that you will find me. But the real question is "Who is Me?"
See I gave you the truth and took the justice for you. Do you know what does it mean? It means that you owe me. But I don't want a big thing, just playing; I want to play with you. Is that so much to ask? And if you didn't accept the offer, well say goodbye to your sweet son.
Yeah, Todd is here too; he was the first man who came to the party. The first condition is no police, do you understand? No Police or you will receive your son's head in a box. Second, you need to do what I asked and play fair or... Well, you know the results.
Third thing, Enjoy! 3...2...1... Game Begin!"
I was finishing the letter until I heard a blow and saw the smoke was rising to the sky; it was the library in our neighborhood, I knew it was him —it means that this case will be the hardest case with the worst enemy; the blow time was perfect with finishing the letter, but there was no choice for losing, I need to rescue Todd from that's psychopath—.
