“Mom, what did he mean by that?” he asked

“Later, I need to talk to your father” and she rushed out of the room after her husband.

“Mr. Porter, can we carry on?” the lawyer, Miles Johnson asked

“No, just do whatever my mom tells you. I can’t concentrate right now” he replied

“Very well, excuse me” and the lawyer left allowing the warden to take him back to his cell.

Back in his cell, he zoned out to that night two years ago…

********************************************************************

He’d just gotten off a call that informed him of Jane’s brother’s decision to turn him in to the police for assault. He couldn’t afford the news going public. His sister just scored major points from their dad by being the perfect daughter again by getting engaged to the first son of one of the major political families in the country, the Wesingtons. He may the only son of the family but he learnt long ago that Alyssa Elaine Porter was the favourite child. She could do no wrong in their father’s eyes. They both snuck out for a party as teenagers and he was punished because his father assumed, he dragged her there when in fact he met her there. He hastily left the family dinner held in Alyssa’s honour. Considering the company, they had, his departure didn’t sit well with his father so he had ordered someone to follow him to make sure he didn’t do anything stupid to ruin his sister’s future marriage. It seemed the heavens were smiling down on him because the clouds were gathering when he set out. When he finally caught up with Jason, he realised that he had another person with him which he quickly found out to be Josh. It’s bad enough they were able to get him separated from Jane when she lost their baby. They weren’t about to cost him his freedom and life as he knew it. He began to drive them off the slippery roads. He planned to cause a crash that will silence them for good. He wasn’t afraid that he could go down with them because he had car racing as one of his hobbies so he could definitely handle the situation. He pursued them relentlessly till he successfully caused Jason to lose control of his car. Luckily, there was no one on the road from his family house. They had snuck up to his cottage near the family house to take evidence that could put him away for the assault of Jane. He watched their car skid off the road and crash into the trees where it eventually seemed too catch fire and then he drove off satisfied. Unknown to him, Josh had been able to free himself before the car began to catch fire. The most damaged side of the car was the driver’s side giving Jason zero chances of survival. The spy had watched everything take place but unlike Michael he moved closer to the crash site to check for survivors. When he saw Josh, he phoned his boss who instructed him to get him to safety.

********************************************************************

He sat in his cell wondering how he survived the crash and the fire. If only he’d gone back to check if they had indeed died. He wouldn’t be in this mess. And how could his father have known this and how long has he known this and where exactly has Josh been hiding because considering how much he loved Jane, he should be by her side. He had no idea of how he was going to get out of this mess but he sure hoped his mom did a good job of convincing his father to drop the murder charges.
