It was day eight and Angel had been gone a over a week. Matthew woke up. He had fallen asleep on one of the couches in security. He sat up and saw Chloe asleep on the other couch under a blanket. Mathew looked down at his Jim Beam bottle that was empty. It was hard to keep negative thoughts out of his head. On the tv shows they always say if they are gone over 48 hours you are not getting them back. Matthew couldn’t remember how he got on the couch. Carlson, Brack and Gary were having a meeting. Matthew came up behind them to see what they were doing. Brack had purchased an unlimited satellite internet dish from China with bitcoin and they were trying to figure out what they needed and where they wanted to install it. They decided that the roof would with a platform would support the weight and when it got there that was were they were going to put it. Carlson was making a list to order items to build a platform. The wiring and anything else they needed to install it. Carson was going to have his men use the helicopter to put it on the roof. Carlson looked at Matthew and told him he wanted to have a meeting with everyone to set up a sting with the camera from Mom’s place. He wanted to find the person who put it there. He was really concerned that, that person may still be here. Matthew said just let me know what time and I will be there. Matthew said he was going back to his room and clean up for breakfast. Carlson, Brack and Gary all looked at him and then Carlson said you mean lunch. Matthew said what. Carlson said its almost 11am. Matthew replied, Oh. Matthew asked if anyone had seen his phone and Gary said it was on Chloe’s desk. He saw it, picked it up and sat back down on the couch. He looked at it and it was 10:50am. He wondered if he had sleep for a long time or just lost track of time. What ever the problem was he was loosing it. He had to get a handle on his problem so he could think clearly. He got up and told Carlson to let him know about the meeting and he was going to clean up and go to lunch. He went back to his place and took a shower. He had the towel on his head drying his hair as he walked out of the bathroom when it hit him. It was like he was there in living color. I had grabbed him and pushed him up against the wall. I was kissing down his chest and stomach just like before. He couldn’t think all he could do was enjoy it. I had his dick in my mouth and was really enjoying it. He said woman just like last time. Put his hands under my arm to raise me up. Almost to his chest I disappeared. The room was spinning and he slid down the wall to the floor. Fighting not to pass out he tried the breathing technique he did before. The room stopped spinning but it took him a good 20 minutes before he could get up. He wonder what that was. Is that what they call a flashback or was it due to too much drinking. When he finally got up he decided he needed to trim his hair and shave really well. He decided to stop drinking to see if this problem would stop. This happened twice now and he came so closer to passing out this time. After he got cleaned up he went to see his Mom and Hunter. Then they went to lunch. Mon said they really missed him at breakfast. He said he was sorry he lost track of time and he would set his watch to remind him from now on. He had a great time feeding Hunter her food and letting her try some of his. He would forget about his problems when he was with her. He kissed her and told her how much he loved her. He told Mom he would try his best to make it to every meal. If he did so maybe Amy could call him. Mom and Amy both thought that was great. He asked Amy, Cindy and Mom if he could come and put Hunter to bed and stay for a couple of hours in Mom’s room. He said this would give you guys a break and he would get to see more of Mom and Hunter. They thought that was great and would work out the times at dinner. Mom was really happy about that. He went to security to attend a meeting.
Chloe woke up. Folded up her blanket and straighten up her couch in case someone need it. She look over and Matthew was gone. She went over to the other couch and it smelled like alcohol. She picked up the empty bottle of Jim Beam with 2 fingers and dropped it in the trash. She took the couch cover off putting it in a laundry bin, took another one out of the cabinet and replace it. She thought we have got to get Matthew on the right track or he is not going to survive this. Just then Matthew came in. He wanted to know when the meeting was going to be? Chloe looked at him. He had cleaned himself up and didn’t have a bottle with him. Chloe looked at the time and said in a half hour in Carlson’s office. She offered him a chair between her and Brack who was busy at work with headphones on. He was listening to music while he worked. Chloe said, Brack had be able to acquire some top of the line equipment that will really help us. He thanked her and Brack for everything they were doing. All for a sudden an alarm went off and Brack took his headphones off. He turned to everyone and said let’s go. Brack took the lead to to Carlson’s office with Chloe, Matthew and Gary following. When they got there Joey and Jack was already there. They shut the door and brain stormed for a good two hours. Then Brack, Chloe, Matthew, and Gary went back to to there area. They had decided to call their area Digital Security. They sat Matthew on the couch. Chloe, Brack and Gray pulled their chairs up in front of him. Brack said we need to talk to you. Matthew looked at them and said OK. Chloe said this is an intervention. You are not doing well and we want to help. Matthew said, I am fine. Chloe came back, your not. We are your team and we want to help you. So how are you doing? Matthew said, I am fine. Brack said, That’s not true. Now tell us how are you sleeping. The truth this time. Matthew said, I am having a problem sleeping in my room and I am having these attacks. Chloe said, Like what? Matthew said, “Well the first one, I was dreaming I was talking to my unborn child that we named Wyatt. Then I started started making love to my wife. All of a sudden there was blood everywhere and I woke up. I thought I was going to throw up. The room was spinning. I managed to get out of bed onto the floor and and tried breathing through it. It took a long time to go away before I could get up. Brack said how many times has this happened. Mathew said twice. I was coming out of the shower thinking of my wife and the room started spinning. I had to sit on the floor and tried breathing again in and out to the count of ten. It took along time before I could get up. Chloe said, Why are you drinking so much. Does it stop the attacks? Matthew said, No, it helps the pain and helps me sleep. The three of them pulled there chairs together. Talking about the problem and what the could do. After a few minutes They turned their chairs back toward Matthew. Brack said here is what we are going to do. We want you to go to your room and get some clothes and other things you might need to sleep here for awhile. If you start having another attack you are to tell Gary. If you can’t sleep tell Chloe. Tell me if you feel you have to drink. No drinking. We could try pot to see if that helps and some other things. Keep us informed of when you are going somewhere and when you will come back. If need be Gary will go with you. These are a types of anxiety attacks and if we don’t stop them they with just keep getting worse. We think by getting out of your room things will get better right away. We are going to have you talk to one of us each day. We are your team use us to get back on your feet because we need you. OK? Matthew said, yes. He said he would go get his stuff right now. Gary said, Do you want me to go with you. Mathew said, No I will be back soon. Gary said ok because we really want to help. Mathew said thanks. Its just I was always on top of everything my whole life and loosing my wife and unborn child has really messed me up. Brack said, You are handling it better than most people and with us you will get back on your feet. Ok, go get your stuff and if you don’t come back I will send Gary out looking for you. Matthew responded, No don’t worry I will be right back. I think getting out of my room for a while might really help. Matthew got up and went to his room.
Matthew was in his room gathering up his things from the bathroom into an overnight bag that he often took on trips. He couldn’t believe he had gotten in the place he was in now. He was always so strong. A leader. He had taken a terrible blow in his life but he could come back. He just had to get get a hold of this situation. Normally when there was a problem he went into hyper drive and solved the problem and come out on top. But this time he had been hit off guard and crumbled. He was going to come back and come back stronger. He wasn’t ever going to let it happen again. He needed to reach down inside him passed to hurt and pull out his anger and do something about the people who had done this to him. He had to realize that Angel and his child were gone. They had been gone for over a week and he had to come to terms with the fact they were dead and not coming. That the the best thing he could do was go eliminate the people who did this to him and show the world that people can’t do this to him with out paying with their lives. He got everything he need, locked up the room and went to Digital Security. He had a mission now and he was going to succeed at that mission.
Back in Digital Security Chloe showed him where to put his things in a cabinet. Chloe looked at him and he was busting out of his clothes. His muscles had become very big and strong. He looked like he could take down a dozen men. She said you need to get you some larger shirts these don’t fit well anymore. He agreed with her. She had pushed her monitors down the table closer to Brack and told him he could put his laptop on the end and work there. He was very happy with that. She gave him a rollie chair and said if he didn’t like that one, that Carlson had more chairs. If fact he had a executive chair she had been eyeing he might like. He replied yes I would like that. So he called Carlson and asked if he could have the chair. Carlson said he would send someone to storage. He told Chloe that he was going to dinner with Mom. And then he was going to stay and visit. He was going to put Hunter to bed and sit in a chair for several hours. Later Cindy was going to take over and he would come back here. He said he wanted to spend more time with Mom and Hunter. Chloe said sounds good. You can call me if there is a problem. They went to work on the computer when they got an email from Carlson that said the sting plan was going to go into effect tomorrow.
Matthew went to dinner and then stayed with Mom and Hunter. Hunter was so excited he was there at bed time it was hard to get her to go to sleep. He ended up holding her in his arms and rocking her to sleep. Around midnight Cindy showed up and took over. He told Cindy he want to do the same thing tomorrow.
