Prompt 5: Character Symbol

I would compare Alex Cross (the main character in my book) to a wrench. I make this comparison because no matter how bad a situation is, he can always find a way to fix it. I mean, for  real, a guy was holding his own family hostage ON CHRISTMAS EVE, and he even managed to fix that! He got the family out safely and took down the guy! If you ask me, that sounds like a fixed situation.
