Look Twice

I've been running for far too long with my eyes constantly looking over my shoulder. But the thing about always looking backwards is that I think I've finally began gaining some perspective. Getting involved with Merrick Cortez's drug ring in New York City four years ago was an easy choice for me at the time. It was the only way I could think of to escape the far reaches of my corrupted father, Federal Agent Aiden Saunders. It was the only way I knew how to grow stronger, become deadlier. I just wasn't expecting to lose myself along the way. But maybe that was the point all along. Because after all these years, I still can't face what happened to me and my family the night my childhood home went up in flames. I'm tired of running. I'm tired of all of it. So now it's time for me to finish this once and for all. Payback has been coming for my father for a long time and I'm the only one that can deliver because I'm the only one who knows the monster that he really is. I just wasn't expecting Luke to come back into my life so unexpectedly. A childhood friend that I haven't seen in over ten years, a boy who once held up my world when it was all crumbling down. But there's only one problem, he's a cop, the one thing that I hate the most. At one time, he knew everything there was to know about me and the scary part is I thought I knew him too. But a lot can change in the time it takes for the boy to become the man. So can I believe in coincidence? Or should I look twice.
