Emma:

When I woke up my head was in Tony’s lap, and I saw Natasha crying. I could understand why she was so freaked out since the last time I passed out I was in a coma for months. “I am ok girl. I forget sometimes I am pregnant, and I hadn’t eaten all day that is all.” I could see instant relief on her face which eased my nerves. I hated it when she worried. The two of them helped me up and Jennifer came walking towards me with a bottle of water, a banana, and half a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. I gave her a grateful look as I took the items from her.

I ate everything and finished half the water. Once Tony and Natasha knew I was going to be okay I asked, “Okay now tell me what evidence you have? Wait, let me get detective Wilcox and we can fill her in as well. Do not worry she is on her side she is the only one who believes me when I say he really is Shane.” Tony told me he would get her he went to grab her and the two of them returned. Jennifer said, “I know we just left the

    Waiting was not my strong suit in the slightest. Natasha, Tony, and I went back to my place and filled Kyle in on what was going on. I decided that I will tell Jennifer about Melinda and leave it up to her what was to be done with her. Sure, it wasn’t the smartest plan I could go to jail for holding her hostage but at this point I didn’t fucking care anymore. It felt like days since we left the police station but in reality, it was only an hour.We didn’t agree on a time for Jennifer to show up so all I could do was wait until she arrived. I was relieved they were not charging Natasha for using her hacking skills that was one less problem to worry about. I kept having this nagging feeling in the back of my head that something was not right, and I could not shake it. I did not know what it was about or what was causing it but from my experience with these feelings I usually wasn’t wrong. Another waiting game I suppose.Even though I knew it was impossible I was also worrying that someh

    We were about halfway through dinner, and I have to say it was wonderful feeling like everything was peaceful. I had told Jennifer about Melinda and how we were holding her in the basement. She surprised me by laughing and saying, “It is never a dull moment for you is it. Do not worry once we are done here, I will call into the station and have her picked up. Since Natasha over there already turned in the woman who sent her and saved the little girl you all will be in the clear I will make sure of it. And do not worry I will make sure they know I prolonged calling.”This woman was amazing. I got that she was grateful to me for taking out the man who killed her daughter and I guess that made an unbreakable bond between us. Other than telling her about Melinda we all for the first time in ages talked about trivial shit that did not matter at all but to us nothing in the world could be better. Kyle is surprisingly a funny man and he had all of us cracking up until tears were streaming do

    I was really getting tired of my cousin Ruby’s childish games. I also found it completely bizarre that she somehow broke in here and installed speakers through out my entire house especially when ninety eight percent of the time someone was always here. When she began to laugh, I could hear it coming from upstairs, from the basement, in my kitchen, in the dining room, and in the living room we were currently standing in. she really did have a way with making an entrance. Since she was making such a grand entrance into my house, I would do her a favor and act accordingly. It was time to finally end this.I called everyone close to me just in case Ruby also had listening devices implanted as well. I had no way of knowing if she was in the house or not, but we were going to find out. I turned to everyone in turn and whispered, “Okay everyone. I do not know if she is in the house, and we do not know for sure what her intentions are today though we can probably guess. Tony and Natasha, I w

    The sight of Melinda’s mangled body was by far the worst thing I have ever seen in my life. Until this very moment I had no idea Ruby could be so ruthless and so destructive. I did not like the dead woman sprawled out in front of me. After all she was really trying to hurt my daughter even though she fucked that up. But I wouldn’t wish what happened to her on anyone else Ruby included. I was stuck there staring at her like a deer caught in headlights unable to move. I was surprised to find that deep down inside I was actually completely terrified. I’ve been through a lot of shit in my life, some that would scare the pants off of most, but this was horrific.Shane grabbed me by the shoulders and shook me with more force than needed. I wondered how I looked to make him have such a worried gleam in his eyes. “Emma, we have to get the others who fucking knows where Ruby is right now, and we all heard her say she was going to take us all out one by one.” I nodded in agreement as we ran up

    I was foggy for a few minutes while I tried reopening my eyes. The room was covered in a thick black fog of smoke, and I could smell something that smelt of fire and burnt flesh but the black cloud in the room was preventing me from seeing where it came from. My ears were ringing, and I could barely hear anything. I was pretty sure the slight sound making its way into my ears was Natasha screaming. I really hoped she was okay, but I still couldn’t see anything. I sat up and tried popping my ears to no success. All I could do was sit there and wait for my ears to stop ringing or for some of the fog to dissipate. A few minutes passed and suddenly all the noise came rushing in. I felt like I was in a room with thousands of people instead of just five. I called out to each of them in turn and everyone answered me saying they were okay except for Kyle. I was relieved when Shane said that he was fine but not getting an answer from Kyle was almost as painful as if it was my future husband.

    A steady stream of blood started squirting out of Kyles chest and at that moment all I wanted to do was punch Shane in the face for his idiocy. I pushed Shane out of the way and put both of my hands on Kyles wound and started applying as much pressure as I could. “One of you please try to find me a towel or something I can hold over this injury or he might very well bleed out.” I said with a shaky voice. I was freaking out I knew it and I didn’t know how to stop myself from spiraling.“Do as Emma requests, and while you are at it get me a sewing kit, I saw one in the bathroom near the kitchen. I can sew his wound up I have done it before on far worse injuries.” Jennifer said. I sighed with relief as Tony crawled away to get the supplies. I knew in that moment before the day was over Ruby would no longer be breathing. She was not going to get away with hurting yet another person I loved.Tony came back with my sewing kit and a few towels. Jennifer did not hesitate to get to work. She h

    I was too scared to open my eyes or move. The back of my head was throbbing something awful, but I barely noticed it because of the wet feeling I had between my legs. I could hear Shane and Natasha by my sides, but I couldn’t make out a word they were saying. No, it was more like trying to listen to some one while I was under water. Slowly but surely their words started making sense to me. They both were trying to tell me to open my eyes and that I was okay. Didn’t they see my water broke or that something happened to the babies, and I was bleeding?I tried to find my voice, but it wouldn’t come to me. I finally focused all my strength to open my eyes. I forced my eye lids to rise, and I stared up at the ceiling blinking a few times. At first my vision was blurry probably caused by the knock to my head. But after blinking a few times I began to see clearly. I turned my head sideways and looked at Shane. “How bad is it? Was it my water that broke or is it blood I am too afraid to look.

    “Finally! I have been waiting for this day for to long now. It is a shame that I do not have the time to take out your little minions but taking you off the face of this world will have to be enough for now. How did you manage to call the police? I have a phone jammer around this property.” Ruby said with sadness, excitement and confusion all wrapped in one. At that moment I felt like an idiot. Why didn’t a single one of us, especially Jennifer, think to try and call for help? It had to be because of the adrenaline we all were experience. If she really does have a phone jammer around my house than it would have been useless regardless. Kyle could have deactivated it with his equipment if it was not out in his van outside. “Surprisingly it was not a single one of us. You are a fucking idiot to think you can booby trap our exits and when we activated one that a neighbor wouldn’t call it in. Aunt Pamela really must have dropped you on your head one to many times. I feel so sorry for you

    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.
