"WHYYY?"
"Why are you doing this" Roared Michael.
"Last thing I remember I was going to bed and someone hit me from behind. What happened?, why am I tied up?"
With his arms and legs bound lying on the cold floor. His hair was still wet with blood slowly streaming down his neck and back. His head ached but this situation made the pain unnoticeable. The facial features of his parents katherine and James Anderson were Cold there was no emotion. Their stares made it seem like they were looking through him. His brothers Stephen and Ryan were barely visible but he could still make out there silhouettes standing to the side of Mom and Dad.
The living room was barely lit by the lamp in the far corner. The room felt ominous as cold sweat dripped down Michaels back.
The only family member missing was his sister Sara she was away at college in her first year studying economics. He always got along better with Sara than his brothers. As the Second oldest of the four Michael could not grasp the events unfolding before his eyes.
"I don't understand why? Why are you doing this? Why won't you talk to me Mom ,Dad, Brothers what's going on.
Why am I tied up?
Still no one spoke as Stephen. His older brother raised his gun at Michael. Katherine, James and Ryan just stood there Coldly.
"Please don't, I don't know what I did wrong but please I beg you. I'm sorry for whatever it is I've done wrong just please don't kill me" Michael sobbed
Tears streaming down his face trying to understand the situation. Michael face paled as he stared at the gun and a wave of terror struck over him.
What Happened he thought to himself. I haven't offended anyone. I am doing really well in the family construction business Anderson Ltd . I closed the deal today with Kent Global. I Came home, had dinner a shower and was going to bed when I felt a hard blow to the back of my head.
"Brother please don't. I don't want to die" he sobbed with a last ditch effort to plea for his life.
"Stephen Please"
BANG!!!
And with that Michael head flew backwards and fell to the ground. His eyes glazed over. Confusion and Sorrow still etched on his Face. His last bit of consciousness could still see the aftermath.
"Stephen get rid of THAT," James said Coldly as he stared at Michaels body."Katherine and Ryan clean up the mess. I'll be in the study"
Ryan and Stephen cleaned up Michaels body and blood. No one noticed Katherine as she shed tears in silence and left the living room.
But Michael could see it.
Mom why?Why did you let them kill me? Why shed tears for the son you watched DIE his anger boiling over with unacceptance as his consciousness faded
"Rest in Hell little Bro" Stephen Coldly spoke and he closed Michaels eyes the last words Michael heard as Stephen picked up his feet and dragged his body away.

The News broke that night on the local news station.
"The body of Michael Anderson was found 3 blocks away from his home. His body was bound and was shot the head. Police are looking for eyewitnesses and crime scene investigation are at the scene. It is suspected that this is gang related"
"In other news a car drove of a bridge last night and has left one in critical condition in St Luke's hospital. It is unknown who the individual is but doctors have stated that the patient is in surgery at this moment."
As the Anderson family watched the news. Stephen entered the room.
"Dad, the Detectives have finished searching Michaels room and have left. The issue has been dealt with and Michaels case will be classified as gang related with no further evidence found."
"Good" James said Coldly
Stephen could feel the cold on his back from his dad's reply. "I'll arrange the funeral once Michaels body is released. I will also get people to remove his belongings after the funeral."
"Don't, I'll take care of that" Katherine spoke softly as she stared at the television. James glanced at Katherine but said nothing as he went back to his study.
"Ok" Stephen nodded "Ill head to the office and deal with Michaels paperwork for the kent deal he closed yesterday and have it transferred to Ryan later"
With that Stephen left the room. Ryan and katherine looked at each other before retreating to there respective rooms.
Mean while
St Luke's Hospital
"Doctor How's my son?"
Jackson kent looked at Doctor Jones optimistically. The Call came last night Sam kent crashed his car into the river last night and was brought to ER. Jackson Kent one of the most powerful men in New Michigan. His fortune is unlimited. With business across the globe.
"I've Called Specialists across the country they should be arriving shortly" Jackson eagerly spoke to the doctor.
Doctor Jones solemnly looked at Jackson. "I'm sorry Mr Kent but Sam's condition is more serious than initially expected. I'm afraid that your son has no Brain activity"
"What do mean no Brain Activity" Jackson said his voice breaking as his heart broke in front of the doctor.
"Mr Kent Sam's is Brain dead. He brain sustained severe damage in the accident and is unresponsive. We have Sam on life support at the moment and I'm afraid for the time being there is nothing we can do. I'm sorry Mr Kent"
The doctor lead Jackson to Sam's room. Jackson has not spoken a word only endless streams of tears could be seen as he entered and seen Sam on the hospital bed. His head bandaged wires and tubes connected all over. He silently sat down and held his son's hand.
"I'll leave you alone with your son. If you need anything just ask at the nurses station." Doctor Jones slowly closed the door as he left the father and son alone.
The noise of the various machines connected to Sam was all that could be heard and Jackson clenched his son's hand. Tears still rolling down his face dripping from his chin as he softly spoke.
"Sam, your mom will be here soon she is already flying back. She should be here in the next hour. I don't know what to do son. Please don't leave me kido, please your my only child don't go, come back to me and your mom."
Jackson could no longer hold back as his grief overtook him his heart broke as he buried his face in his son's hand.
"No I refuse to accept your gone I'm going to get every Brain specialist in the world son I will leave no stone unturned. Your not allowed to leave me or you mother. Don't you dare let go"
With those last words spoken Jackson took out his phone and made several calls. His age doubled over the course of an hour as he made call after call until he could hear frantic screaming in the hall.
Jacksons wife Emily has arrived. As she followed the doctor to Sam's room she screamed as she made her way to Sams side. Doctor Jones has already informed Mrs Kent of Sam's condition.
"Baby what happened to you" she spoke softly as she stoked Sam's cheek "Mommy's here now I'll take care of you now son." As Emily finished her sentence she looked at Jackson who made his way to her side.
"Every specialist in the country is on their way. They will be here first thing in the morning. We are not giving up till every option is explored."
" What happened to him how did he crash his car. Was it an accident or........?" Emily asked slowly trying to control her emotions.
"Police have no leads and no cctv of the area. Sam's car has been fished from the river and is currently being looked at. A man walking by a short time after the accident saw the headlights in the river called emergency services and then dove in to rescue Sam. He didn't see what happened. I have ordered Nathan to send 1 million to the man as a thank you. Nathan is also looking for information from the underground to see if anyone has information on what happened." Jackson held his son hand closely as he conversed with his wife. Narrating all information he had.
Emily Nodded nodded as her gaze drifted back to Sam. "You will find out what happened Jackson or I will leave you in a worse faith than Sam."
Jackson scalped numbed as he heard his wife's tone. Jackson may be the richest man in New Michigan but Emilys temper was renowned in the light and dark of the city.
As he recovered from his wife's threat he straightened up "I will never stop Emily" Jackson stated Coldly .
