Reading Response 1:There Comes a Time When the Sorries and I Love Yous Arrive too Late

Men of power often choose to take their wives for granted. It is not until the end when a man can actually look back and realize what he has or is about to lose. Innocent people are always drug into the bad guys’ downfall unknowingly until it is too late. I guess women can take some fault in their demise, because she was not aware or did not try to be aware of her mans doings. In my book I, Alex Cross, Mr. Nicholson was a witness to numerous murders. He not only set up the meetings between Zeus and escorts, but recorded their interactions.  Angry men were coming after those who had the ability to unmask the identity of Zeus. Nicholson had the tapes so of course he was going to be one of the first to go. One of the intruders placed a plastic bag around Mrs., Nicholson’s head.
Nicholson could see Charlotte’s expression change as she realized exactly what was happening. He even felt a pinch of pity, maybe even lost love, something emotional and, well, human. For the first time in years, he felt a connection to Charlotte.”
            Mr. Nicholson had no choice, but to sit there and watch his wife die. While watching her suffocate, he started to feel the love again. He was angry that the intruders had killed his wife, but in the end he had brought her into this situation along with his girlfriend. I find it very disturbing that Nicholson had saved his girlfriend, but not the wife he had been married to for decades. He could not tell Charlotte how sorry he was for all that he had caused or tell her what was really going on. Everything was a big blur to her and that just was not fair.
