I would like to start off by saying...HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!!! =D
Yes...today is my birthday...I am now old...and legal...and...it's funny because it's my birthday yet I'm very sick. I've been coughing and sneezing for almost a week now...but anyways...I wanted to share the joy by updating...and concluding this fanfic.
According to my username...I started this fanfic in 2007...which means that this fanfic has the life span of more than a year...I never thought it would end the way that it does...nor did I think it would take me so long to write this fanfic.
Anyways...I'll continue my scrambling after I show you my finale...
===============================
Ch 35
As Ron carried Leila out of the warehouse...a trail of blood followed him. He only hoped that his plan had worked out for the best...and that no lives would be lost...
Once he was outside of the warehouse, he ran with all his might to his car so that he could transport her to the hospital on time. He couldn’t care about anyone else at the moment but Leila...it was his fault...his wrong move from the very beginning. He carefully placed her on the seat beside him, and drove off...without regarding the speed limit or traffic laws. This to him, was an emergency...
~ Insider the warehouse~
Derek was still ecstatic about the loss of his sister...he couldn’t believe the fact that he was now successful in doing so...but the cruel realization had finally struck him...and it had struck him hard. He realized not only did he let all the police officers go...but the fact was...they all witnessed his cruelty, heard his plan...and was fully capable of making an arrest on him. His moments of glory were now nothing more but ashes...
Charmaine: You idiot! How could you possibly be so stupid?
Derek: Shut up! This was your fault...you should’ve stopped me...cousin
Charmaine: I’m totally ashamed of being related to such a fool...you let the glory take you by the head...and now it’s grabbed that brainless head of yours and shoved it into the ground.
Derek: You’re in as much of a mess as I am...
Charmaine: But...I’ve sought my revenge...
Derek: And I’ve killed my little sister...and besides...they have no true evidence of my other acts...
Charmaine: That’s what you think...and what if your little sister isn’t dead?
Derek: How can she not be? Look at that trail of blood...her blood...it’s impossible that she lived...a shot there...there’s no way...no chance for survival...
Charmaine: That’s coming from the fool who let all the cops go...
Derek: What about you? The other Lam brother is still alive...beaten up, but alive
Charmaine: I never intended to kill him...even though that was the initial plan...I realized...all I have to do is put him into such excruciating pain...that it is like death...and death would be what he would end up wanting...
Derek laughed: Now that the police is hot on my trails...I better get going...as for you...take care...hopefully, we won’t meet again...
Charmaine: You’re such a family man
Derek laughed: Yes, indeed I am
Derek left the warehouse, followed by his men as Charmaine stood there...running through the moment where she had punished Raymond for his wrongdoings. After being a lawyer for so many years, and seeing the fact that the law does not bring justice, she realized she had to take the law into her own hands. Today, Charmaine thought, justice was finally served. Though Raymond didn’t lose his life, he finally got the punishment he deserved...and that was enough to put a very sinister smile on her face. Her task was complete...she had done what she had set her mind to do...and now...for some very odd reason...she felt empty.
This wasn’t supposed to be the feeling she was supposed to get from such a victory. Why? Why then is she feeling so empty? So all alone? What was her goal in life now? The emptiness seem to have over taken her as she slumped to the ground with tears in her eyes.
Charmaine: It’s over...
She looked around her to see a gun, on the ground...
~ Ron’s Car~
Ron: Come on Leila...you can do this...it’s not your time yet...
His blood covered hand was trying to hold onto hers...and with tears in his eyes he continued to drive until he got to the hospital. He parked his car right in front of the entrance to the ER wing and immediately carried her in...
Doctor: Sir, don’t you worry...we’ll take care of her
Ron: You have to...save her...
Doctor: Let me get a nurse to look after your wound as well...
Ron: I’m fine...
Doctor: Sir...you’re bleeding...
Ron: I’m fine...
Moments later an ambulance had arrived with Raymond laying on the stretch bed, horribly beaten, it was almost impossible to make out his face from all the injuries. His head was swollen...and by prejudgements from the paramedics, one of his arms was also broken. But his injuries were not to the extent that it was able to take his life.
~ Two days later~
Ron had woken up and was taking a stroll down the intensive care ward to take a look at his brother...he heaved a sigh when he saw that his brother was wrapped up in bandages...
He then felt a hand on his shoulder and turned to see that it was Tavia...
Tavia: I just spoke to the doctor...he said Raymond’s going to be fine...
Ron smiled: that’s good...
Tavia: you don’t have to feel responsible for your brother’s injuries...we all know that the reason why he was abducted had nothing to do with you...
Ron: I know...but...
Tavia: Oh...don’t give me that lecture about you being the police officer and so you’re responsible for the safety of everyone...because you know that it is impossible...
Ron smiled: I guess you know me too well...
Tavia: After being your best friend for so long, and your girlfriend for a month or so...I practically know you inside out...
Ron: Is that so?
Tavia: Yup...but...I never knew you paid any attention in science class...
Ron: Science?
Tavia: Well...you shot the bullet through your hand so that you were able to slow down the bullet’s speed so that when it entered Leila’s body...it didn’t do much damage...
Ron: Oh...I thought that was common sense...and I only hoped that at that moment...I had enough common sense...
Tavia: I’m still amazed at how you aimed that bullet to completely miss your hand bones...and then completely miss all of her vital veins, arteries and other organs...it’s a very impressive shot...your dad was right...you could’ve been a doctor...
Ron chuckled: I’m a naturally intelligent guy...I can’t help it...
Tavia lightly punched Ron on his arm
Ron: Ow! How could a doctor punch a patient like that?
Tavia: That’s what you get for not being modest...so...are you going to go visit her?
Ron: Ya...I will...
Tavia: Ron...if you like her...you should tell her...
Ron: I’m not sure if I do...or...I can’t tell...but...I couldn’t stand to see her in such a state...and knowing that I was the one who put her in that state...kills me...I...I don’t know how I could repay her...and...when I knew that she had gone alone to find her brother...not only was I angered by her idiotic action...but I was worried...worried that something might happen to her...and I...
Tavia smiled: So...my best friend is in love...
Ron: You really think so?
Tavia: Definitely...go tell her how you feel...
Ron: I’ll take your advice...thanks...
He embraced her...and walked away...
For a moment Tavia thought that it might be difficult letting him go...but the fact was, it wasn’t. Even though she was very much attached to him, and there was a childish side to her that wanted this best friend to herself...she realized the way she felt for him was never truly ‘love.’ It was an infatuation...and at one point...they shared a mutual infatuation for one another...but that was all. Now, the she had moved on from such childish feelings...it was time for her to find someone that she loved and would equally love her back...but one thing she knew was that...Ron will still remain as her best friend...
Leila was just down the hall from where Raymond was...even though she was not vitally injured in anyway, when they removed the bullet, they had used an anaesthesia on her, which for some odd reason still did not wear off yet. Ron was now standing there looking at Leila through the glass...and he thought of what Tavia just said to him...he should tell her how he feels...but not now...her dad was there...
Paul, who was sitting beside his daughter noticed that Ron was standing outside, and watching them...he slowly got up and went out to have a few words with Ron.
Paul: Thank you
Ron: For what?
Paul: For saving my daughter’s life...if it weren’t for you...today...I would’ve lost both of my kids...
Ron: It’s my job to serve and protect...
Paul: But it isn’t your job to go and protect those that do not deserve to be protected...I know...that gang leaders, triad leaders, and gang members in general are never seen as ordinary citizens by police officers...usually police officers look at people like myself through coloured lenses...and it makes sense...but you...Lam Sir, you’re different...and...thanks to you...my daughter is saved...
Ron: Mr. Tong, you don’t have to thank me...really...
Paul: Why won’t you call me Uncle like you did...I liked it better when we didn’t speak to each other with so much formality...
Ron: if that’s the case...then...just call me Ron...
Paul smiled: Of course...Ron...maybe you should go in and take a look at Leila...
Ron: Sure...how about you?
Paul smiled: I’m not going to go back in there and be third wheel...don’t worry about an old man like myself...I promise you...I won’t get into any trouble...
With that he walked off towards the elevator, leaving Ron standing outside of Leila’s room...
Finally, he opened the door and walked in...took a seat beside her bed and held her hand in his non-injured hand.
Ron: Leila...you’ve been sleeping for longer than you should. I saved your life not so that I could watch you sleep...you have to wake up...I have so much to tell you...Leila...
There was no movement in her hands, no tear trickling down her face...but...there was a tear that trickled down his...
Ron: I’m sorry...I shouldn’t have gotten involved with you in any way...I’m sorry...I didn’t mean to use you to get information, I didn’t mean to cause all of this misunderstandings between you and your brother...Leila...I’m sorry...I’m sorry that I couldn’t do much to help you...while you did so much more for me...please...just wake up...I’ll do anything you want me to...
The only sounds in the room were of the heart monitor, other machineries; Leila’s soft breathing and of Ron trying to suck up his tears...
Ron: Leila...I’m sorry...
He slowly got up, turned around and was about to leave the room when he heard someone, a voice calling his name ever so softly...
He immediately turned around to see Leila, eyes opened and teary, looking at him...and he immediately walked back and took a seat beside her bed.
Ron smiled: You’ve woken up...let me call the doctors...
Leila speaking softly: No...
Ron: No?
Leila: don’t you have anything else to say to me...
Ron: what do you mean?
Leila: aren’t you tired of being sorry...
Ron: what else can I say?
Leila: why won’t you say words that you know I’d like to hear...?
There was a moment of silence before Ron spoke again...
Ron smiled and took a hold of her hand: I’ll say what you want to hear...after I call the doctors...
Leila: even when I’m this ill...you still don’t do things that I want...
Ron: now...you stay here...while I go get the doctors...
Leila: Ron...
Ron: Shh...you just woke up...
Leila: Ron Ng...
Ron: Leila...they say cops and robbers will never be...but...this cop...this cop has fallen head over heels for a robber...
Leila smiled: I stole your heart...didn’t I?
Ron smiled: and I think I’ve taken yours into custody...
Leila: I’m not going to return it, you know...
Ron: That’s ok...cause...I...
Leila: Yes?
Ron: I love you...and I don’t care what you’ve done in the past...because...I really do...I really do love you...
Leila smiled: You finally said it...but...I think your love would have to wait...
Ron: What?
Leila: I’m going to come clean...I think it’s for the best...
Ron smiled: Then I’ll wait for you...however long it may take...my heart seems to be yours for the keeping...and...I love you...
Leila: I love you too...
