"Umm... I'm telling you Larry I have a bad feeling about this. I think Ken is as crazy as his brother." "I know he is, but what can we do?" "Well... there is four of us, and only one of him. What if we go to the Police, we can always protect each other from who ever is watching." "Yeah... if anyone is watching."
Still trying to decide what to do, they bumped into Eric, Danny, and Don. Flashing their badge they said... "Let's go boys, my car now." "What? What did we do?" hoping their trick would work Don said... "Conspiracy to commit murder." "Whoa... hold on man. We aren't conspiring anything."
"We were informed that Ken and four other boys matching your discription, were planning an assault on Sharon Delko, and Tristan Rogers." "Oh no... no way man. We were just coming to talk to you. It's all Ken that has planned it, he said he even has a bullet for some guy named Adam."
Looking at Don, who looked at Eric he said... "Adam Ross?" "I think so... he said it was the guy who killed his brother." "When is this supposed to happen?" "I'm not sure, we only talked about Tristan and Sharon. That's supposed to happen tomorrow." "What does he plan on doing?"
"He plans on beating the hell out of Tristan, and taking Sharon away for himself. We were suppose to help, but we weren't going too, honest. He also warned us that he had people watching us, and he would know if we told." "I seriously doubt he has anyone watching you. For this isn't gang related, and from what we checked, David was never in any gangs."
"So you think we're safe?" "I'm almost positive. But... if I find out any of you had anything to do with this, you'll all be charged with attempted murder." "We do... and again we swear, we weren't going to hurt them."
After the kids left Eric put some Officers on them just to be safe. Then they went to see Adam.
Meanwhile Adam was on the beach with Maddy and Gregory. "Adam... can we go in the water?" "Sure we can. It's a beautiful day Greg, let's go." Heading down to the water, Ken watched, took aim and fired.
"Noooooooo....oh my God... call 911 someone, hurry." While Adam used his phone, he tried to stop Gregory from bleeding. "Listen to me Maddy. I need you to put pressure on his stomach. Maddy... listen." Finally snapping out of it, Maddy applied pressure to her sons wound.
"He's going to die. Oh God Adam... I can't lose my little boy." Just as the Ambulance pulled up so did Eric, Danny and Don. Running down to the beach they seen little Gregory's lifeless body. "What the hell happened Adam?" "I'm not sure Eric... someone fired." Looking around Eric told the Officers to search the area, while the EMT's continued working on Gregory.
While Maddy watched with Adam holding her, she could see it was too late. Her little boy had died. "I'm sorry... call the time Harvey." Hearing Maddy's screams, she reached for her son, and held him tightly against her.
"Eric... we need to take him." "Nooo... you are not touching my son." Sitting down beside Maddy, Eric had Sheldon beside him. "Maddy... listen to me. Let Sheldon take him, he'll take good care of him. I promise Maddy." Still not listening, she continued rocking him. "What do you want to do Eric?"
"Call mom and dad. They'll have to help her." While Don called Mac and Stella, Eric continued to try and have Maddy release Gregory. "Eric... who would do this?" "I'm not sure Adam... I think the bullet was meant for you." "For me? But who? Why?" "We think it may have been David's brother Ken. We found out from a group a boys that he had planned revenge on you."
"What? You're just telling me this now?" "We just found out Adam, we were coming to warn you." Adam looked at Maddy, he realized she hadn't zoned in to what Eric had said. Leaving him to wonder when she did, if she would blame him for her sons death.
"Maddy... Maddybee. Oh God... what happened Eric?" While Stella talked to her son, Mac sat with his daughter. Trying to reach for his grandson, she held him all the tighter. "Maddybee... listen to me sweetheart. Maddy... look at daddy please." Looking up at her dad she continued to rock her son in her arms.
"Maddy... I need you to give me Gregory. Can you do that sweetheart? Can I have Gregory. I'd like to hold him." Still not releasing her son, Mac had no choice. Wrapping his arms around his grandson, he pulled him from Maddy's arms. "Take him Sheldon. Eric... go with him and get that bullet."
"Mac... she doesn't even realize you've taken him. She's still rocking." "I know love. Adam pick her up please." As Adam picked her up she screamed. "Don't touch me... don't ever touch me again. This is all your fault Adam. You did this. You killed my son." Turning she slapped his face, as Stella wrapped her in her arms.
"Shh... come on sweetheart. Shh..." Walking away with her daughter, Mac turned to a teary Adam. "Are you okay Adam? You know she doesn't mean it. She's just not thinking straight right now." "I know Mac. But she's right. It is my fault. I was the one who killed David forcing his brother to take revenge."
Walking down the beach, Adam wasn't sure where he was headed. All he knew was that because of him, a child he loved was dead.
When Grayson got the call he rushed home. "Mom... mom... where is everyone?" "We're in here son." "Mom... please say it isn't true. Please tell me my brother isn't dead." Running to his mothers side, he cried in her arms. "How mom? How did it happen?"
"It was Adam's fault." "Maddy... stop that right now. It wasn't Adam's fault." "What's she talking about nana?" "It seems Daivd's brother wanted revenge on Adam. While they were down on the beach, Ken fired at Adam, but he missed and hit Gregory, killing him."
Mac could see the anger on his grandsons face. Making him thankful that Eric and Danny already had him under arrest. "Where is he now mom?
Where is that bastard now?" "Gray... stop this. He's in jail. Your uncle's already arrested him." "God damn it, that's not enough. He deserves to die, just like my brother."
Looking at his mother, Gray could tell she was right out of it. Problem now was, he needed to convince her it wasn't Adam's fault.
