"your mother has been searching for you also", Alex said, so Gerald could feel a bit of guilt for not reaching out to his mother for so long. his intentions might not have been to make her worried, but not seeing or hearing from him for so long made her even more worried. She had no idea if her son was dead or Alive... it was heart-wrenching... "She must be old now..." Gerald had a sad smile appearing on his face as he thought about his mother and the last time he had spoken to her...they had had a huge fight and he had left without looking back and when he had ended up back in jail, he felt like he had failed her once again... he felt like he would only bring her pain by trying to meet her...
Alex stood up, ready to leave, and Patrick stood up also "Who are you?" Gerald asked the first question he had when he saw Alex and Patrick...
"I'm your daughter's fiance, I'm Alex Graham" Alex stretched out his hand and shook Gerald's hand that was handcuffed... Gerald was a bit stunned to know that his daughter had a fiance, he still could only picture his little girl in his head. But a part of him was glad that his daughter had met someone who cared for her so much like Alex...
"so you came all the way to meet me to find out the kind of person I am," Gerald asked, and Alex nodded. "I don't want her to get hurt again", Alex said, and a sad smile appeared on Gerald's face... he was thankful... and for the first time in a while, he felt an overwhelming sadness when he thought about the life he had...
"I feel so sad for Juliet", Patrick said as they walked back to where the car was parked. Alex had his hand in his pocket and his mind had trailed off... he was thinking of going back home without wasting any time. "get the pilot on the phone," Alex said after glancing at his watch and realising if they left, now they would be back before midnight. Pat,rick who missed Olivia and thought they would spend a day or, two immediately did as Alex instructed... Alex got into the, car and they drove straight to the hanger where Alex private jet was waiting to take them back home...
