Chapter 133: Unconscious
Micheal sat down in his room, tapping his lap continuously; he couldn't get the fact that the bags of money in Lucas's car had been burnt. He stood up and pushed off everything on his table with a growl.
“fuck!” He yelled and hurried downstairs. At the same time, Ramone entered with Gabriel Hills, Micheal stared at him sternly before turning to Ramone.
“Who's that?”He asked, staring at Gabriel.
“This is Gabriel, Micheal; he is a long-time friend of me and your father, Mr Ethan, too,” Ramone explained. Micheal glared at him and walked down the stairs slowly while observing him.
“you all grow-
“but my father had never mentioned you before”, Micheal interrupted Gabriel before he could even speak. He opened his mouth to reply to him and Micheal shrugged his shoulders.
“Just forget about it; that's your problem”, He snapped.
Micheal wanted to go to the hospital and observe Lucas and hopefully plant a tracker and a little camera, but it was of no use.
“I once again have the company on my fingertips”, He murmured to himself and headed to the Rosé's to get a drink.

Grace sat down next to Lucas, fondling his hands and playing with his fingers, when a nurse entered and told her she had a visitor. She thought it would be Emily or Carl or just someone else, but to her utmost surprise, it was Lexi. Her facial expression quickly changed.
“What are you doing here?”She asked her, Lexi shook her head and tears rolled down her eyes.
“I want to tell you something,” She uttered.
Grace saw Lexi off after their discussion, she patted her shoulders and went back inside. She walked very fast and swiftly so she could get back to Lucas. Right in the hallway that led to Lucas's room, she saw someone trying to open the door to Lucas's room.
“hey!”She yelled.
“what the fuck do you want!?”She added, the person glared at her and ran off. Grace could tell the person was scared from the stare. She quickly ran into the room and called Dr. Richardson.
“We are transferring” She uttered and hung up. She brought out her phone and dialled Dr Cooper's line. She told him about the transfer, and he urged her to get on with it.

Micheal sipped his beer as he observed Sarah from where he sat with Jason.
“That's my new employee, she works here in the Rosé's,” Jason uttered, staring at him.
Micheal ignored him and continued staring at Sarah, he suddenly raised his eyebrows and drank from his bottle.
“Zack’s little girl, what's she doing here?”
Micheal asked.
“Mmm, working like I said before? She's eighteen now,” Jason uttered.
“I heard she ran away from welfare-
“or welfare just asked her to fend for herself; either way, she's doing well”, Jason told him and uncorked another bottle of beer. Sarah came over and replaced their already-finished crate of beer with another one.
“Enjoy, sir.”She smiled.
“Wait.”Micheal stopped her; she turned and smiled widely at him.
“Go,” He told her, Sarah chuckled, shook her head and walked off.
“She has rude body language, and looks just like Zack-
“Mmm, is that guilt?”Jason interrupted him and smiled.
“You wish?”He snapped.

General John sat in his office feeling excited; Mr. Victor had been staring at him for the past thirty seconds.
“You look excited. Have you gotten enough money to help us settle, Mrs. Silver?”He asked, and General John smiled.
“Even better, she agreed to hold onto the one we gave her until she wins the case”, General John uttered; Mr. Victor stared deeply at him.
“I know you, general; what deal have you made with Mrs. Silver?”He asked him.
“Nothing, Mr Victor; she said when she needs us, we should answer, and that's all,”, The general told him.
***
When Mr. Victor arrived home later that day and saw Gabriel, his heart skipped a beat
“Gabriel? What a surprise,” He told him and offered him a handshake; Gabriel smiled.
“It's been a while, Victor; I uh-I decided to come back, Victor; I think it's time to make amends”, Gabriel uttered, and Mr Victor glared at him with disgust.

Every night, after work, Sarah comes over to the hospital to see Grace. Lucas had spent another day in Dr. Cooper's hand, and he was yet to wake up.
“Are you sure he is breathing?”Sarah asked and Grace glanced at her.
“Of course, he can breathe; that's why we are all here because he is alive”, Grace snapped, and Sarah nodded. She walked up close to Lucas and stared at the monitor.
“pretty much alive” She uttered and drew an invisible line on the monitor with her finger and smiled at Grace. Grace took a deep breath
“you will get what you want once we've dealt with Micheal” " she muttered, and Sarah agreed reluctantly.
“So where exactly is this stuff that I'm getting?”Sarah asked.
“G.R.A, I heard Micheal was able to recognize you as Zack’s daughter, so we start tomorrow, are you prepared?”She asked her and she nodded.
***
Lexi walked back from the police station. She prayed she wouldn't run into Micheal at her house, but she was wrong; Micheal was waiting for her with a cigarette in his hands.
“Have you done what I asked-
“Yes Micheal, now can you let me and my son be?”She snapped, Micheal chuckled and walked up to her.
“I'll make sure nothing happens to him, not to worry; I'll text you what to do next, okay?” Micheal uttered and left.
Lexi paced up and down, she just couldn't help but wonder what Grace had in store for Micheal and his cohorts.
That same night, Mr. Ethan, Ramone and Gabriel went over to the hospital to see Lucas. He was still unconscious; Grace was sitting in a corner, busy on her phone, when they entered.
“Mr. Ethan, you finally brought Uncle Ramone-
“and Gabriel, Gabriel Hills” Mr. Ethan added.
