Chapter 65 - Release The Devil Inside Him
Dean walked quickly out of the hospital his footsteps were heavy as he had left her, he had to fix everything before April woke up. He reached the exit and walked out into the darkness it felt like he had just stepped out of her light and back into his dull life without her warmth.
He glanced back inside, shaking his head to clear his thoughts he then strode out of the hospital. He clenched his fists in frustration and anger. By this stage, he could barely see the pavent he and could barely read the signs around him.
He felt his throat choke up, he coughed to clear it and took a deep breath. He noticed Oliver standing beside one of his cars in the parking bay and he made his way towards him. He had left his heart with April and right now all he felt was empty and the need for revenge. His uncle had thought he could easily kill him? Break him? No all he did was release the demon that lived inside him.
His uncle took his silence for weakness. Dean hadn't made a move yet not because of familial ties but because he was moving all the pawns around the board, like in a ga of chess though he had forgotten that in the end, the Queen's job was to protect the King. April had done just that this evening and it had only fueled his hunger to make a counter attack and remove all the pawns that could cause her further harm in the future.
Oliver got inside the driver's seat, looking in the mirror he saw the darkness in Deans eyes he gulped and inquired, "Where to boss?"
Dean stared out into the night, the moonlight didn't touch his darkness nothing would but her, "My grandfathers."
The drive was quiet and tension filled the air. Oliver rembered back to earlier that evening when he had found out what had happened from Casey. They had all arrived at the scene together. What he had witnessed he couldn't quite believe. April stood straight in front of Dean protecting him. He hadn't thought that a selfless person would exist in this disposable world but there she was, strong and unyielding.
After they had ensured everyone was finally safe and the n were either dead or taken away for questioning he had witnessed a further miracle. His usual stoic boss scooped up an unconscious April into his arms and ordered him to take them to the hospital.
Oliver had seen the toll tonight had taken on both of them. They had both worried for each other not caring for their own injuries. Dean then took care of April in the car while she was unconscious and then carried her into the hospital's accident and ergency departnt. Dean only agreed to receive treatnt as he passed out himself.
Arriving at the old manor before Oliver had even fully stopped the car Dean had opened the passenger door and strode out and walked straight into the old manor house. Oliver sighed his boss seeing red like this hadn't happened since he had lost his parents. All Oliver could do was assist when asked as he knew his friend was about to go full tal on his uncle.
Dean was angry and impatient he entered the old manor and walked past the butler and straight into the living room. He scanned the room only seeing his grandfather.
His grandfather although had stepped away from the family business he had eyes and ears everywhere so he had already heard the news. He sighed seeing his usually stoic grandson. He had found out the young girl he had wanted to et his grandson was on a date with him and he had been celebrating the future union only to receive the news of his grandson's assassination attempt.
As usual, his greedy son tried to gain a foothold in the company and had failed. The cost though this ti was unforgivable. He had lived a long life and witnessed many things in this world including all sides of n's wrath and greed.
His grandson was exactly like himself when he was younger. He was wild and strategic just going through the motions of life but once his soul mate had entered his life it was like a switch and everything would change. His son had just thought April was Deans weakness and he could take advantage of that but she was his strength.
What surprised him was her actions, it seed April had the sa fierce heart that Dean had to protect the ones she loved. They complinted each other perfectly and it didn't hurt that he had already felt her kindness and saw her sweet nature when he needed help during their first eting.
Dean sighed and sat down on the sofa opposite his grandfather's armchair. Realising his uncle must be in hiding and his grandfather obviously already knew the situation. He sat forward his eyes stared straight into the flas of the fire and spoke without any feeling with words heavy and cold, "There is nothing you can do to stop or save him this ti. He can't run or hide, he's done, wherever he is he may sleep with one eye open. Because not you or anyone will save him from a bullet to his head."
Sighing his grandfather then responded, "I know, I know it's either you or him. I just hoped I wouldn't be around to witness burying both my sons in this lifeti."
A quiet understanding enveloped in the living room before Dean stood. Seeing this his grandfather spoke, "Do you rember what I told you after your parents died?"
Dean turned surprised at his grandfather's question he thought for a mont and nodded.
Seeing his grandson nod he smiled, "Good now go, I shall visit April tomorrow."
Dean nodded again and strode out of the manor he wasn't surprised his grandfather had heard of April, he was always was aware of everything even though he liked to pretend he knew nothing.
He got into the backseat of the car and closed his eyes, "The office Oliver."
Feeling the car move Dean leaned back his head rembering his grandfather's words. 'Life is like a jigsaw puzzle, we have all the pieces but no box nor instructions to guide us. What we must do is work on the edges first. The edges are easy to place they are your ho, work, life and hobbies. The centre is the hardest it contains ourselves and our family we are yet to et our other half. These pieces though hard to place are the most important and complete us entirely.'
