Theo

'And they live happily ever after...so that was the end and now it's your bedtime' Theo closed the storybook and kissed loving to Ava head..whose head was laying on his chest

Ava yawn and cutely said 'daddy can you sleep here'

Theo smiled 'I love too but daddy has some work to do and you know if you need me you can click this button ok but I'm here till the time you sleep'

Ava nodded and said 'ok daddy goodnight'

Theo protectively hold her 'good night princess'

when Ava was in her deep sleep Theo slowly get out of the bed and put the quilt on her and kissed her cheeks...he checked the camera he put on her room.

He gets out and went directly to his office...he was in the middle of the work when his phone ring ..he looks at the time it was almost 11 in the night.

He picked the call 'hello this theo grey speaking'

The caller said 'sir this is from new york central jail...we wanted to inform you your wife has tried to commit suicide ...we have taken to her city hospital ....we just wanted to inform you that her brother is out of reach and you were her next of kin after Mark Blake so please come immediately to the hospital'

Theo dropped the phone with a that....he was not shocked he was numb....sarah...Sarah try to kill her?

His eyes were bulging out he was going insane why ...but why she did that...did something happen to her...or she finally gives it up?

He shakily stands...and try to find a way to get out...but he was so lost...he was breathing loudly...he grabs his hair...he try to calm his breathing...she is fine..she is fine...

"But she was, not that's why she tries to kill herself" he yelled

He run and grab his car key and wallet and run to his car....but then he saw Tom getting out of his can and he was looking confused 'Theo whats wrong you look like hell'

Theo closed his eyes 'i have to go'

Tom grab his arm 'brother calm down where you have to go?'

'Hospital just fucking leave me' theo shout

Tom replied 'but why...dad...something happens to dad' he said in a panic

Theo shakes his had in hurried motion 'no he is fine..it...its Sarah ..she tries to kill herself'

Tom paled at the news 'what'

Theo opens his car door 'look I have to go just check AVa ... I don't know when I will be back'

But Tom still not move and he said in a dead tone 'i don't think you should go'

Theo raised his eyebrow in anger 'and why the fuck not'

Tom sighs 'cause she is nobody to us....she was nothing to us when she was convicted for Tina murder case and I think its God justice..what our sister has gone through now that bitch is going through...now she will know karma was really a bitch'

Theo lost it and punch him that leave Tom in shocked 'fuck you...she is my wife...she is my daughter mother...you fuker...she did what she did and she is punished for that but I will not leave her like this .'

Theo did not wait for tom response and drive like a crazy person.

.......................................

Mark

'That's what you found' Mark asked the man

The man nodes 'i know it's not enough but well enough to know how to cater those people who give a statement against your sisters'

Mark rubbed his jaw 'so this waitress will confess that's what you are saying?'

The man node 'Mr Blake I know my job and I know this waitress will confess because she is already in distress and need of help ...she was already feeling guilty what she did but she is also scared...she was still not telling the name of the person who gives her the money to give false statements in the court'

Mark closed his eyes 'Who it can be? who wants Sarah behind the bar?..and why this waitress is scared?'

The man replied 'My guess that person she is afraid of is the same who was really behind Tina death...maybe he or she wants Sarah to be blamed for the crime they did'

Mark gives him an understanding node 'and what about the tape.CCTV footage of that area when Simon and Tina took off and what was their last stopped. I'm sure we can find some footage of that'

The man replied 'about that... I asked some tech guy who is working in a government agency, after a long research he just found out, that night of 12 dec the CCTV footage was fabricated and that tape was given to Greys when they were doing there own investigation... I asked him to retrieve the original one...he told me to give him a few days'

Mark sighs in anger 'fuck...whats happening here'

The man stands 'don't worry about the tape I will find out them but I will suggest you go to new york and talk to that waitress maybe you can take her into confidence and then she tells you the truth and who was involved'

Mark shake hand with the man 'Thanks a lot. I can't tell you how much grateful I am'

The man shrugs 'im just doing my job'

When the man was gone Mark took out his family picture when they all live together and were happy ..he smiled at Sarah innocent face 'sister don't worry you will be soon out of this hell...you will be happy again' he said in an emotional tone

Then his phone ring

He picked the phone and listen who it was ...he just said hello..then the caller told him that his sister tries to kill herself...he dropped his phone 'Sarah....(he put his hand on his mouth) Sarah why'

Theo

He runs inside the hospital and starts asking people where his wife then he saw some police officer and saw they were standing outside the ICU ....he was breathless 'my...my wife. I have to see her'

But the officers stop him 'sorry sir..you cant go inside she is still a prisoner and right now you need the permission from the main office to meet her'

Theo lost it 'then why the hell I was called when I can't see her'

But the Theo saw doctor coming out of ICU room and he said in fear 'doctor my wife...sarha...what happen....is she ok...and why she did it?' Theo asked everything in one go

The doctor gives him understanding look 'Sir I will tell you everything please calm down and please come in my office we will talk there'

Theo looks towards the door where Sarah was there but he node absently and walked with the doctor

Doctor give him some water and said 'I can understand what you are feeling

Theo shouted 'the hell you can..just tell me is she ok..will she (he hesitate) will she live ?'

Doctor sighs 'Sir all I can say...the police brought her little late here..she already lost a lot of blood...we are trying our best but she is in a coma right now, all I can say we are waiting for her to respond in any form otherwise we can't say much'

Theo become more paled and he fell like throwing up 'what why....why she killed herself'

The doctor looks down 'i don't know about this all i know she was in bad condition when she brought here....you have to ask this from the officers'

Theo was speechless then he said 'can I see her'

The doctor looked at him and nodes 'ok but only for five minutes'

Theo walks slowly and waits for the officer to open the door and let him go inside. He closes his eyes like he was expected to see her fine as she uses too but when he opened his eyes he got a kick in his gut.

This is not the Sarah he was expected to see...this Sarah was covered in tubes...her wrist was covered in bandages....she looked she was in her death bed ....she was breathing but still not living

he sits down...and saw her properly after one year...she looks she different ..and she is so weak...her bones were literally poking out...did they not feed her well.

But why do you care his inner self-talked to him..this is what you wanted ...you wanted to be miserable and died terribly and be alone ..like Tina was once but aren't you happy theo

He has no idea why he is feeling so guilty...why ... maybe he never give her any happiness....treated her like shit ..or maybe she is in her losing end and now he realized that he will never get the chance to apologise and move on....maybe that's why he can't move on because even knowing tina is death because of Sarah but Sarah already bear the punishment worse than anybody and sometimes without any reason, he felt his tears but he control them ..the light grace Sarah cheeks...she can't survive he can see that.

He had seen Sarah in such conditions more than once ...first when he literally starve her to death by locking her in the basement room for days..then when she deliver Ava and doctor told her she has 24 hours to recover and when he beat her to death and she had gone to coma...even then but even then he gets the feeling of fight in her..but now she looks so fragile and helpless..like she lost all hope

Theo holds her hands 'why Sarah why now....you never broke when you were worse conditions than what happen..why after a year you give up... I was planning to bring Ava to meet you and tell you how mom betray me...even I know you were involved in Tina death but still I was thinking after six years you will come back and start over..i know we can't live together after so much resentment and hate...but I willing to forgive you for Ava sake but why you did this, what happens to you.'

Theo's head was down and he was so broken at the moment and he had no idea why...when his five minutes are over he aimlessly walked out the room...and pray to God to save her not for him but for Ava sake.

Roma

'Why the hell she is alive...fuck...you know if she lives our secret will be out' Roma shouted on phone

The jailer said in a light tone 'i understand Mrs. Grey what don't worry..i just got the news from the doctor they are not positive that Sarah will survive more than few days, she is surviving on a loose thread.....just relax....our secret will not be out....everyone believed that Sara found the blade from the medic room she was in...'

Roma was moving here and there 'look whatever you said its better be true...' she ends the call and looked nervous what if she survive...no she cant,

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Theo

He was sleeping in an uncomfortable hospital seat ..then he heard the loud shouting voice

'What the fuck you guys did with my sister.....that's how you take care of the inmates by leaving the dangerous thing in front of them knowing very well the state of mind of my sister' mark shouted

The officer tried to calm Mark even the nurses also but he was no mood to calm down

Then he saw Theo standing there ..he lost it 'you son of a bitch..how dare you' Mark throw a punch on the theo face

Theo was stun what happens what then Theo also answer him back with a punch 'what the fuck'

The officers hold both of them 'sir we are warning you if you guys make any problems in the hospitals we are going to arrest you both'

Luckily Tom came on time 'sorry officers my apologies for these guys '

Tom drag them and took him outside the hospital.

Mark was still yelling but Tom close the door and said to Theo 'that's the fuck I was saying to stay away from this Sarah shit....but you wanted to become a hero' tom said in disgust

Theo push Tom 'what the fuck are you doing here I never called to join me'

Tom shakes his head; 'maybe you forget but you are still my brother. I will be there when you need me even you fucking say or not'

Theo shook his head ...try to calm his heartbeat..what then the door open and saw Mark was standing tall will a murderous look 'Are you happy now what you did to her.....you fucker..you sadistic bastard was not enough for you that she was for years a punching bag for you and your family, then you put her behind the bar for a crime she never did..you also never let her see her daughter and now because of you, she is in this state'

Theo maintains the eye contact with him but his inner self-was breaking into tiny pieces he has no idea till when he will control his emotions.

Tom come in front 'look we have nothing to do with your sister suicide...it was her own choice...maybe it was her guilt that let her did that..don't put on this'

Mark gives them a disgusted look 'fuck you...guilt...what fucking guilt..she is inncent...she always was...and in a matter of few days I will prove this, then we will talk about guilt.....and her suicide it own you guys....you know before her suicide ..she was begging to see Ava...she also talk to me to bring Ava to her....you guys break her so much...you used an innocent child... I promise ..you will pay for this'

He stormed out leaving both the brother stun and confused.

Mark

It was almost in the morning when he felt his phone ring.....he looks around and saw Theo and his brother Tom sitting quietly...he fucking doesn't want them closer to his sister...but since it was the important call he revised it 'yes'

The detective guy he hired replied 'it's me...wanted to tell you my pal has found somethin..i haven't seen yet but going there.,I suggest to talk to the waitress fast ....she was in the mood of hiding out..find her till you can..im sending you the address' he ends the call

Mark look at the phone in shock ...what the hell...he can't leave Sarah here alone especially with these bastards...then he got the idea ..he failed to Rome and morgan landline, Rome picked the phone he was clearly sleeping 'hello'

Mark sighs 'sorry dude to call you this early morning...but its important'

Rome's voice changed to alert one 'whats wrong Mark'

Mark replied 'its Sarah I need your help'

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Mark reach its destination ...he looked at the area which was slum in nature..he checked the address to be sure

Then he found the trailer house an knock on the door..after a minute the door has opened a lady in her 30s holding a toddler.

Mark introduced himself 'im Mark Blake Sarahs brother and you must be Holly '

The waitress eyes were stunned.

(After a few minutes)

Holly was rocking the bo in his lap and was sobbing 'i didn't want to do that but I became greedy and I also don't have any options but after I give a false statement to your sister...my life turn upside down... I lost my home..my husband...everything. I just have my boy but he also becomes ill so much that he almost died...it was a wake-up call for me that God is punishing me for my sin...i was in so much guilt that I put an innocent behind the bar'

Mark keenly looking at her 'then you have a chance...I'm angry what you did but I'm giving you chance to rectify your mistake and confess your crime I promise your child will take care like my own child... I will fulfill his and your necessary needs..his schooling his other stuff my responsibility even I will give my protection to you guys so don't worry tell me the truth.'

Holly look down 'im scared but if my rocky(she looked her son) get all this I will do it then...(she sobbed) I was offered some money that if I give statement that search gives me some drug pills to put inside tina milk or juice I don't remember...then I will be punished for some months and my husband will get a good job and a good house.... I get everything as I was told but I was also given a warning that if I ever open my mouth he will kill my family'

Mark was stun 'who was it...tell me, Holly... I promise nothing will happen I will protect you guys'

Holly looked scared 'it was ...it was Perry Moles'

Mark lost all the color from his face ..'what'

She nodes 'he was the one actually who got me the drug pills ..Sarah really do tell me to give her some painkiller, but when I get inside the kitchen he was already ther...i knew him because he used to visit a lot...he took out some money and told me that its all mine if I give this drug to Sarah, not the one she is asking... I was little taken back and doubtful but I was a greedy bitch and I took it and did what he told me...but I swear to god I don't know what happens next. I don't even know that drug was for Sarah or tina.'

Mark grabbed his hair 'fuck...Perry moles...that fucker...oh god'
