The incident with AJ Entertainment had come to an end. Apparently, news had travelled fast in the agency as to what had happened. Several ambulances had arrived at the scene, all of them to take the girls to safety.
This caused rumours to swirl around and quickly those working in the industry found out that the producer and director had something to do with the incident. There was no news of what actually happened to the girls, just rumours, but there was one thing that had spread around more so as a fact, and it was that Ash was the one that resolved everything.
He had somehow managed to find out what Matthew was doing and put a stop to it. The fact that no one could get a hold of Matthew or Neville made them believe that this was the case, but the real truth was something that was only known between a few.
Still, due to this it made those that had supported Matthew quiet down within the company. People knew that Ash wasn’t strong enough to take out Matthew on his own, and they assumed that he had done so with some new help.
Regardless, Ash didn’t care because he was going to get to the root of it all and make sure anyone who tried to go against him would be cleared out of the company. He would just have to do it slowly.
Right now, Ash himself was in the hospital, he looked at the room number and had a bunch of flowers in his hands. Forcing a smile on his face he gave a quick knock before opening the door.
“I hope you guys like flowers, because I bought a lot of them.” Ash said.
The second he entered the room, the girls along with Tyson sat up right in their beds. They made sure their hair looked nice, among other things. It was the normal reaction when they met the head of AJ Entertainment.
“I guess old habits die hard, but you don’t have to do that.” Ash said, as he walked around handing out flowers to all of the girls.
They looked fine, they didn’t have any severe injuries on their bodies, apart from Tyson who had mostly already healed up, but they were here for mental evaluations as well.
“Thank you... you didn’t have to come out here.” Clem said.
“No, please don’t say that.” Ash replied. “You girls experienced something that none of you should have ever had to in the company.”
At that moment, Ash got down on his knees and placed his head on the cold hard surface of the floor.
“I’m sorry, I should have looked out for those that worked for me. Something like that should have never happened. Even now, all I can do is put my head on the floor and ask for your forgiveness.”
The scene was something none of them expected to see. Since Ash wasn’t the direct cause of the trauma they went through they found it hard to blame him in any way, but they knew it was better to not tell him that, so it was good for the both of them.
After a while Ash finally got up from the floor, and started to ask them all about their injuries. The marks on Clem’s hand, the sore throat from Rachel, and if Tyson was okay. Finally the last person that Ash went to talk to was Spring, the person that was affected most by it all.
Before Ash could say anything, Spring was the first one to speak.
“Is it true about Gary?” She asked. “That he is the one that bought out AJ Entertainment?”
For all of them, they hadn’t seen Gary since he saved them, and there was a lot they wanted to ask him, and say to him, but they were unable to, and the frustration of not being able to... So, Ash was the next best thing.
“It’s true... but honestly I didn’t know much about it either.” Ash said. “I knew that it was someone named Gary but never thought it would be him. I did think something was up when I saw his suit though.”
They sat there for a while in disbelief, thinking about the way they talked to him, thinking about when they went to Slough. In their heads it was starting to make sense. The way he didn’t care about money, why everyone was thanking him back then, and the realtionship to others in his hometown.
Meanwhile Clem and Ash were having other thoughts, because the two of them knew a little more, the fact that Gary was actually the leader of the Howlers gang. They thought it was best to keep this a secret, as it wasn't an important fact of what happened to them.
Another knock was heard on the door and they wondered who it could be, and guessed it was probably Elanor, but when the door opened, they could see a shade of green past the door.
“Gary!” Clem called out.
Walking into the room, soon all of them were calling his name.
“Gary, it's really you!”
“It seems that you all must be feeling well, if you're feeling this energetic.” Gary commented.
They were all smiling, joy was filling their bodies as they wanted to tell Gary how thankful they were, but before they could, they could hear sobbing coming from the corner.
“I’m so... so... sorry!” Spring cried. “I treated you so much like shit, and you still... you... you... saved me.”
She was reminded of all the unjust treatment, the judgement she had given Gary, yet it was because of him that she was saved.
“It's okay... I’m just happy I was able to get there in time.” Gary answered.
The group talked for a bit, asking Gary a number of questions. How he managed to get his hands on so much money and why did he even buy AJ Entertainment in the first place. Why was he even keeping it a secret he owned half of it.
It was hard for him to answer all the questions, and he was looking for a way out.
“Look, the important thing is that none of you have to worry. Ash will continue to take care of things, and me and him half talked. We will try our best to look after you and give you as much promotion as we can.” Gary said.
After those words, it looked as if he was about to leave the room. They imagined he had to be a busy man, and now they somewhat felt like Gary was part of a different world compared to them.
“Gary... will we ever see you again?” Clem asked.
With a half smile looking towards the floor he gave an answer.
“I’ll be honest, probably not. I have a feeling that I might get pretty busy soon, and it's best if you all don’t get to know me too well.”
Clem and Ash understood the real reasons behind those words and Gary had left the room. A short while after, everyone in the hospital felt almost as if a part of them were missing, as if they had said goodbye to a dear friend.
Getting up out of his bed, Tyson went toward the window and drew the curtain, and there he could see Gary walking towards a car.
‘Isn’t that... the same car we saw in Slough?’ Tyson thought.
Not only that, but there were several people in black and gold outfits, the same as the gang they saw all over Slough. As Gary approached the car, the door was opened for him.
“It’s nice to see you again, Boss.” Kai smiled.
“Holy Sh*t!” Tyson's heart thumped, as he came to a realisation just how special Gary was.
