Emma:This woman just stared at the four of them before bursting out in hysterical laughter. Once she calmed herself done, she sniffed and said, “Oh my god! This is rich, hahaha. My husband told me the people who worked for you or who were loyal to you were dramatic and I did not believe him.” She continued to laugh as I rolled my eyes.I turned to Natasha and said, “I think the three men’s guns on her is plenty. Could you please take this little girl from my house and get her back to where she belongs. Afterwards find out what her parents want to do. Call me and let me know if they want to go to the police if so tell them they can find the perpetrator here we will not be letting her leave.”Natasha nodded at me at first handed the gun to Tony and then slowly approached the young girl. “Hi sweetie. Don’t be scared im not going to hurt you. Why don’t I get you out of here and back to your parents how does that sound?” the girl looked into Natashas face and gave her a slight nod before
Natasha:I took the little girl to my car and let her sit up front with me. Before I started the car, I turned to her to see if I could get her to give me any information about who she was or where I needed to take her. “Okay sweetie. I know you have had a really hard go of it lately, but I need your help right now. Could you tell me what your name is and where I can take you?”She looked at me hesitating to answer me. I reassured her by telling her I was one of the good guys. I made sure she knew we had no idea who the woman in the house was and I was not going to let anyone help her again. She finally opened up a bit and told me there her name was Olivia, and she gave me her address. It was about an hour away from here and I did not know why the street name seemed so familiar to me. I pushed it out of my mind for the moment and began to drive.We drove in silence for the first five minutes until I heard Olivia’s stomach growl loudly. I gave her a tight smile and asked her what she w
Emma:Tony, Kyle, and Shane stood there staring at the now bleeding Malinda while I stared at them. I was trying to process who it was who took the shot. This was not the plan. Our intentions were not to hurt this woman and yet she was laying on my floor bleeding from a gunshot wound in her stomach. She growled than said, “Are you assholes just going to stare at me until I bleed out or are you going to get me some help here.”They all exchanged looks with one another not seeming to know what to do with themselves. “For goodness sakes someone help her. I do not need her blood staining my floor anymore than it has already done so. You men need to snap out of it. You’re acting as if this is the first time this has ever happened.” I said exasperated.Once I spoke things around me started happening fast. Kyle ran into the kitchen to get supplies to take care of Malinda. Tony was on his phone calling a cleaning crew and Shane dashed over to my side. All the while my phone kept ringing and I
Natasha:It was like entering into a complete twilight zone. This could not be happening this shit was so unreal. Of all the children that chick could have kidnapped they chose Dede’s little sister. There was no way this was a coincidence, things like this just do not happen. I just did not have all the information at this point to figure it all out, but I would bet my life on it that this has something to doing with Ruby. This bitch always had some type of scheme going on.When Dede walked in her hands were full of grocery bags upon seeing me, they all slipped out of her hands. Like me I was probably the last person she expected to show up at her mother’s house. She seemed to compose herself and she said, “Hello Natasha. What brings you here?” I pointed my finger at her sister, and I saw a slight shock cross her eyes before it came indifferent. “Joy the little rugrat showed back up.” Her mom may not have been able to tell but I sure could. Dede did not think she would ever be coming
Emma:I sat there next to Shane after hanging up with Crystal for an unknown amount of time trying to wrap my mind around what she just told me. After a while I started laughing and before I knew it I had tears rolling down my face from the absurdity of my life. “Babe are you okay do I need to drive you to a mental institution?” Shane asked me, which just made me laugh harder.Through snorts and chuckles I said, “This is so ridiculous. This thing I call life! More has happened to me in the last six months that people would never have to go through in their entire miserable lives. I had to watch the man I love marry my cousin who by the way is a piece of shit. I killed another cousin because he was stalking me and declared he had to have me. I find out my mother traffics people and she has worked with both Big Teddy and Don Anders. I was in a coma because Ruby hired someone to keep me down, you asked me to marry you and I am pregnant. And to top it all off my mom has been arrested for
Natasha:I looked around the room trying to find something to help me protect Olivia and to take Dede down. There were a lot of Nic nacs and things but nothing really helpful. I basically said to myself fuck it as I jumped from where I was standing and attempted to tackle Dede all the while her mom was wailing and crying not doing anything to help her daughter. When Dede saw what I was doing she released her sister’s hair and braced herself for impact.I was a lot bigger than her she was maybe five foot tall, and I towered over her. I always am a very muscular woman whereas she is skin and bones. As soon as my body made contact with hers, we fell to the floor me on top of her. I instantly heard a loud crack as Dede cried out in pain. “You stupid bitch! You broke my fucking arm!” Dede tried hard to wiggle out from underneath me, but I wasn’t having any of that.She started screaming at Olivia to help her which made me laugh out loud. “Seriously you are going to ask her for help when al
Emma: I did not understand how the police could possibly believe that Shane was his brother when in fact they knew that Spencer Delrose was dead and gone. I tried to explain to them that they were making a mistake and he was not who they thought he was, but after that they started yelling at me to get on ground and put my hands up as well. They put handcuffs on the both of us and then took us to their holding cell. There were already three other people in the cell, one of which happened to be my mother. “Emma? Shane? What have the two of you gotten yourselves into or are they framing you as well?” My mother said to us. I could see and hear how scared she was, and I really hoped she did not do what they are trying to accuse her of. My mother is a lot of things, but a murderer just was not one of them. The officers who were escorting us to the cell put us inside then closed the door, afterwards removing our cuffs through the iron bars. After they walked away, I answered my mother. “Fo
Natasha:All I could think was are you fucking kidding me. I saved a little girls life prevented that deranged bitch from causing any more harm and I am in trouble now. The officer smiled at me and said, “Well you are such a beautiful woman I thought maybe you would like to spend some time with me.” I was utterly disgusted. What was wrong with people. I shook my head no. “I am engaged and for the record if you want to try to pick up a girl maybe try not to make them feel like you’re going to arrest them.”With that I got in my car and drove away. I saw the cop staring at me through my rearview mirror mouth agape. I just shook my head at how stupid he was. I drove back to Emma’s house and was curious why Emma’s car was not there. When I went inside, I found the living room empty. Curious to know where everyone was, I first checked the kitchen then the dining room. There was no sign of anyone.I went upstairs and checked Emma’s room, but it was empty. As were the spare bedrooms and bath
Three months later“Mother can you stop trying to make today all about you for god sakes it is my wedding day not yours.” I said to my mother for about the fifteenth time in the last five minutes. I was already nervous as all hell about doing this in the first place and as usual my mother was making everything worse. “Emma, I am not trying to make this about me. I was just saying how ignorant it is for my date to cancel last minute. It is just so messed up I deserve better than this.” My mother said with a scornful tone. I just sighed shaking my head knowing I couldn’t stop her from being the selfish creature she is.“Come on Miss White they are ready for you outside.” Natasha said scooting my mother out the door. I gave her a thankful look and went back to trying to calm myself down. Natasha walked over to me and put her hand on the small of my back. “It is going to be okay Emma. I know marriage makes your skin crawl, but you love Shane, and he really loves you. I don’t think I have
After I jumped on Ruby’s back everything seemed to be moving in slow motion but at the same time it felt like everything was sped up. I know, I know that seems really confusing, but it was like the world around me was one big blur of movement while it seemed to take me a lifetime to knock her to the ground though my guess is it took mere seconds.Three things happened simultaneously. Ruby fell, her gun went off, and I knew someone had been shot because I was now covered in red specks of blood all over my arms and I could feel them on my face as well. The smell of rust and salt invaded my nostril and made me feel queasy. I couldn’t let it get to me however or Ruby might wind up with the upper hand.I struggled to grab her arms and pull them behind her back. For a small chick she was stronger than she looked, not to mention I just had surgery and my incision from the c-section hurt immensely. Finally, someone noticed how much trouble I was having and came over and kicked Ruby square in
I knew I had to start talking to Ruby to try and distract her so Kyle could sneak up on her and take her out. “I am really glad you find your psychotic ways so amusing. I mean someone has to think you will get out of this unscathed and why not let it be yourself. After all you have been through so much in these past few months. You lost Shane to a better woman, you murdered your own child, lost your second family, destroyed your career, and so much more but hey at least you can stand there with a grin on your face and be completely content!”Ruby’s face turned into a scowl I guess she didn’t like her short comings being thrown in her face. That was good I wanted to piss her off, so all her focus was on me. She didn’t even seem to realize as I was talking that Shane, Tony, and Natasha started slowly moving away from each other and their current position to situate themselves around her so we could cover her in a five point angle. Ruby stood there momentarily at a loss of what to say to
Emma:“I know what you are going to say Kyle, but we have to go out there. After all we both know she is here for me, and I am afraid of what she will do if I don’t show up.” I said to Kyle trying to convince him how important this decision was. Kyle sighed and turned his head towards me. “I know you are right but that does not mean I have to like it. The only way I will be comfortable with allowing you to go out there is if you stay behind me understood?”I shook my head at Kyle in disbelief. “You know as well as I do that will not work. She will kill you without a second thought to get to me. Look I have a better idea. I know she is going to talk my ear off before she does anything at all. I want you to go back up these stairs to the second floor and make your way to the other staircase. Once there come back down to this level and come in through the other entrance. My cousin’s eyes will be on me, and she will not see you sneaking up on her. What do you think?”Kyle told me that was
We all began yelling at detective Morris that he just shot Detective Wilcox. “No, no, no! I did not mean it. Jennifer, please tell me you are ok. Jennifer, please answer me!” Detective Morris screamed out in desperation. I called out and said I was going to crawl over and check on her. He gave me the go ahead and I slowly began crawling over to Jennifer being cautious as to not make the detective trigger happy again.When I made my way over to her I first checked her pulse and looked for where she had been hit. “She is unconscious and has a very thready pulse. You struck her once in the chest and once in the torso. You need to get someone in here now to get her and Emma to the hospital. We also have a third person who is injured. He got struck with shrapnel when the explosion happened out the back door.” I said hoping he would understand how urgent this matter was.“Officer down, I repeat officer down. We need two more ambulances aside for the one for Detective Wilcox we have two civi
Of course, it would be her. Who else is psychotic enough to start a shooting rampage through a fucking hospital. I was positive she knew I was here, and she was looking for me. “Kyle, can you see anyone else out there?” I asked not really wanting to know the answer but knowing I had to. Kyle moved his head as far left as he could while still being able to see out of the small rectangular window. “There are a few people lying on the floor. It does not appear that anyone is hurt. Ruby is out there pointing the gun at people and yelling but I can not hear her through the door. Holy shit! This is so fucked. Miss Emma, I do not want to alarm you, but Shane Tony and Natasha are out there!Natasha:Hello again dear reader. I know I said you would not be hearing from me again, however when I wrote that we thought everything was coming to an end and that I would not have anything to tell you that Emma could not. We were very wrong on that front seeing as while Ruby came into the hospital firin
Kyle and I took an immediate left and half walked have sprinted down to the elevators. Not surprising they were turned off. It makes sense that they would deactivate them with an active shooter on the premises. It Would be harder for them to get to a different floor. We headed over to the door for the stairs and headed through. Neither of us knew exactually which floor the NICU was on, so we decided to go to the highest level and work our way down. Along the way we stopped so Kyle could smash the glass on the fire ax box that was in each stairwell. He took the ax and led us the rest of the way up the steps. We went through the access door once we reach the top and walked through. We found ourselves in a hallway with doors every six feet or so on each side. I walked up to one of them an read the plaque on the wall. “LAB NUMBER THREE: REASEARCH AND DEVELEPOMENT”. Since the entire hall had these same type of rooms, we decided this was the wrong floor and there were no patients up here, s
Dr. Marsh and i exchanged looks before he told me to go lock myself in the bathroom. like that was going to fucking happen! There was currently someone inside the hospital shooting at people or something of that nature. There was no way i was going to stay here like a sitting duck. I sat up and slid off the bed. I located a bag in one of the chairs with my cell phone, socks, and shoes. I pulled out and put on the socks and shoes than I tried calling Shane. The phone just went to voicemail. The same thing when I called Natasha than Tony. I figured I would try calling Kyle even though I knew it was a long shot since he just had surgery. I was very surprised when he answered on the second ring in a very hushed voice. “Miss Emma! You are okay! Thank the Gods. I would ask about the babies and your health but right now we got a problem. Did you hear those gun shots and those people yelling?” Kyle asked me in one breath. I rolled my eyes and said, “Of course I heard it. I’m in the surgery w
My eyes grew wide as the realization of what Dr. Marsh just said to me sunk in. two friends went into surgery and only one made it out alive! I knew one of them had to be Kyle. We did our best to make sure his wound was closed but as far as I knew he was the only one hurt. Who the fuck died! “Dr. Marsh. I only knew of one of my friends who was hurt so let us start with the good news first. Who made it out of surgery?”Dr. Marsh looked at me with pity in his eyes. I did not like the way he was looking at me it made feel uneasy like he was about to tell me my word was over. Which I guess could be possible if the person he told me died was Shane. It could not be him! I hated not knowing what happened and I could not take much more of this. If it was the love of my life, I do not think I would ever be able to bring myself to get out of the hospital bed.“Miss White, I apologize I thought you knew about both your friends. Who would you like to hear about first?” Dr. Marsch asked me sadly.
