Blood rushed to his face as he looked down at her beaten form. His head was still spinning from the attack but he would be ok. Cody Stared down at his wife, Carmen. She looked so innocent and helpless. He wanted to blame Seth and Jalie for not being there, he wanted to blame himself for not being there but he know that the blame was to be given to GHG or the green hill gang, there full name. Cody leaned down and kissed her bruise face and smiled as she opened her eyes. “Hey honey,” He said with a crack in his voice. “You okay?”

Carmen smiled and leaned her head into Cody’s warm hand “I love you.” She mumbled. Cody fought inside himself not to cry. He moved his hand to stroke her face and smiled, as he looked back into her eyes.

“I love you too.” She smiled again and then the nurse walked through the door.

She was a plump lady and black in color. She smiled a pearly white smile at cody. “Mr. Carson, you’re going to have to leave now. Visiting hours are over doll.”

Cody nodded and looked back at Carmen. “I’ll be back tomorrow sweety.”

Carmen looked at him with her longing eyes. “Promise?” She asked in her little kid voice.

Cody laughed. “Promise.”

The nurse then moved to Carmen’s bed side as Cody blew her a kiss he turned and walked out of the room. Carmen didn’t notice the wear in the man’s eyes, the pain he felt inside. He didn’t even notice as he almost walked into a man. He didn’t really care. This was going to be another long night. Only this time he had help.

Cody sat relaxed on his front pouch with a beer in hand. The boys would be here soon and then the hunt would be on. He took a long swig of his beer and crushed the can in his hand. As if on cue, four men walked into his yard from around the corner. Cody smiled and got up. “Boys,” He started, as they all congregated around him. “You all know the situation.”

They all nod. “Cody, What about Matt?”

Cody’s eyes shot to the man who was speaking. “Randy, what do you mean Matt?”

Randy stepped forward. “Matt has been seen with GHG.”Randy gulped. “What if he is with them tonight.”

Cody sighed, “Then he is mine.”Cody walked down the stairs and moved between the men. “We will find them. I’m going on my own. You two stay together and petrol this side of the neighbourhood, you two this side. I’m going to the bar to find Matt.” They all nodded and where off. A few minutes later Cody was standing outside the bar. Bubba, the bouncer of the bar was standing outside. “Bubba, Matt in there?”

The man nodded. “Yep, with his new friends.” Bubba knew what had happened but didn’t want to do anything because he didn’t really care.

Cody moved up a few steps. “You got my back?”

Bubba smiled and nodded. “I have known you more that that little prick. I also know that you can though down with the best of them. Mainly me,” Bubba said with a smile.

Cody moved up to the man the towered him and slapped him on the shoulders that looked like they where football pads. “If I need yah.”

“I got you covered.”

Cody pushed into the bar and everything seemed to stop. A few cowboys off in the corner smiled and dropped their pool cues, knowing there was gonna be a fight. Cody, looked straight at Matt and then behind him was GHG. “About time you showed up.” Matt growled.

“You where her friend you son of a bitch.” Cpdy snarled.

Matt laughed. “He’s more retarded then I thought. The only Reason I was friends with that slut was so that I could get a piece of that Ass. I tried so many fucking times and he kept turning me down. A man can only be told no so many times before he takes what her …”

Cody was in motion; he pounced onto matt and started to wail on his face. Then where was a huge bar fight. Everyone was throwing punches at everyone. Cody didn’t Care how many times he got hit. He was focused on Matt and ending everything that was him. Cody continued to punch him in the face. Suddenly he was tackled off of his by a man. Cody continued to through punches at everyone that came close to him. Before he could regain himself, GHG had snuck out the back. Matt was being Carried by one of them. Cody fought his way to the back door and was out and into the ally. They where gone. “NO!!!” He yelled and booted the near by garbage can. This meant war.

I know how it feels to almost end someones life, or to put them in a wheelchair. I know how it feels to be the one that everyone looks at and blames for one stupid mistake that wasn’t even your fault I know what its like to wonder if you are going to be fired for an accident. I know what its like.

I have been in you’re shoes kid, I have been haunted by the same ghost you are being haunted by. Sara Pettis Almost lost her life at your hands. Sara Pettis’s Carreer could have been ended by you. Does it make you feel good? If it does you are lying to yourself. You almost killed an innocent girl. If you had a daughter, and it was her, how would you feel Johnny?

Yeah, the ghost that haunts everyone that has almost ended another career or life. Go ahead an lie to yourself saying that it doesn’t haunt you but deep down in the pit of your stomach, you know I speech the truth. You know I have seen these demons and you know what they do to you.

First they pull at you and make you second guess yourself. Then they twist and contort everything you do in your own mind to make it seen like it was wrong for you to do that. Then every time you close your eyes the person’s face is there. Maybe its the scene of what happened, the ladder falling and Sara hitting the rail with her neck. The loud crack, echoes in your mind. You know it and you fear it.

Fear is to some people a weakness, to others it’s a strength. There is different kind of fears though Johnny and some will bring you strength, while others make you quiver.

So Johnny, my question is this? Are you scared?

Or maybe,

The fear that runs through you is that you might not have that warm feeling anymore. Might not have the sensation if life coursing through your body. What might happen if, what happened to Sara happens to you? What if your body is the one being carried out of the arena on a stretcher?

DOA.

The legacy…..
