Current Location: Pearls house on her backyard patio

When we arrived at Pearl’s house Shane’s children were already off to school. I guess that was a good thing since this was going to be hard enough talking to Pearl about without the children over hearing and having questions of their own.

"I am so happy my Shane is done with that horrible wench and is finally with the woman he deserves!" Pearl beamed at me. Shane chuckled "Okay mother we know how you feel, but Emma and I did not come here just for a normal social visit. We need to talk to you about something extremely important."

Pearl immediately got an ecstatic look on her face. "Yes. Yes. Yes. Emma you are pregnant! Or wait you two are getting married or hopefully both?" Shane grabbed pearl by the shoulders to stop her from bouncing up and down. "Mother! It really has nothing to do with Emma. Rather it has to do with You, me, and Spencer." Shane and I watched for Pearls reaction. She obviously had no idea who Shane was talking abo

    Current Location: Ruby’s office "chill out Ruby! I can explain it all. Why not have Tim go and grab us some lunch. Once he is back, we will sit, eat, and I will catch you up on everything you have missed since Shane received those photos." I asked Ruby. She agreed and went to send Tim to grab some lunch from the nearby deli.About fifteen minutes later Tim came back with two hoagies, two bags of chips, and two sodas. It has been a long time since I had this type of food, and I was actually looking forward to it. "Okay Emma tell me how you came to know Spencer, and definitely how the hell he met Shane." Ruby said irritated. I took a deep breath before diving into it. Of course, I left a bunch out, but I gave her the basic run down of the order of events. I told Ruby about how it was actually because of her that Shane met Spencer. If she would have canceled their meet up, they would not have met. I told her all about how obsessed Derek was with me and how he enlisted Spencer’s help wit

    Current Location: In Kyles car on route to my houseI was currently on the phone with Natasha letting her know it was time to set Ruby up. " Finally, I get to have some real fun. I have been so absolutely bored out of my mind lately this will spice things up. I will contact you when I get outside of Rubys office building. Talk to you soon girl." Natasha proceeded to hang up. I spoke matter of factly to Kyle. "I think when we get back to my place you should stick around. I think it will be more convenient and much easier f9r all of us involved to relay what is going on to one another. " Kyle agreed completely. I texted Shane to make sure he was not there or coming back anytime soon. He said he was about to pick the kids up from school and the four of them were going to stay with Pearl tonight. We agreed to meet for lunch tomorrow at Big Henry's Steak and Fries. I was relieved one less thing to worry about. If Shane found out what we were doing, he will flip his lid.Kyle and I arrived

    Current Location: About twenty miles out of the city limits "Miss Emma this shit we found out about Spencer is completely fucked up. I do not know what his intentions are with you, Shane, or even Shane’s mother Pearl. You said you plan to take him to Pearls house for dinner. Please do not do it. Go ahead and have the dinner but do it at your house so we can be here outside to make sure you all are safe. What I am about to tell you is going to blow your mind." Kyle said enthusiastically. I was so curious to find out what Kyle uncovered, but at the same time I was really weary about it. I knew it had to be something extremely bad, otherwise they would not want me to stay here so they could watch over and protect me. 'Kyle you are scaring me here. Just spill it and we can work our way from there." Kyle took a long-exaggerated breath before he dove into it."Okay well you already know Pearl is Spencer and Shane’s biological mother, what you might not know is their father is a big-time ga

    Current Location: At an undisclosed location to prevent Ruby from possibly finding this book than finding meIt was three hours after my phone call with Ruby and I chose to leave the comfort and safety of Kyles home and rent a place out in the numerous wooded areas around us. Ruby begged and pleaded on the phone with me that she was innocent, and she was going to find the culprit who did this to her one way or another. As a precaution I rented this place and did not tell a single soul of where I was going. Not Kyle, or Lucas, and especially not Shane. If Ruby is anything like me, she will eventually fit the pieces together, and as you already know she does figure it out. But before she does there is much more to tell you dear reader. I assured Ruby, I believed her, and she begged me not to tell Shane. The problem with that idea was before we even got off the phone with one another Rubys arrest at her company was all over the local news channels. Ruby knew she was in deep shit, and she

    Current Location: Central Union hospitals waiting roomFor about a tenth of a second, I was horrified that Shane would do this to my mother. It took another five seconds for it to hit me that it had to be Spencer, and not Shane who stabbed my mother multiple times. When my mother woke up that was all she said before she passed out once more. I went out into the waiting room, by that time the rest of my siblings had arrived, and I told them how bad our mother looked. I did not however tell them what she said to me. They did not need to think ill of Shane.I texted Kyle to put together a list of Spencer’s victims for me. I wanted to know how many there were and how the ones who died, died. I also sent a group text to my aunt Pamela, uncle James, and Ruby to let them know what happened to my mother. All three of them texted back and said they were on their way to the hospital. I was hopeful that I could get Ruby by herself to see if she figured anything out. Also, I wanted to find out if

    Current Location: Springfield Police station Seeing Spencer walk past the waiting room shook me to my core. I told the doctor I give him permission to call me and tell me over the phone what was going on with my mother, and to do everything in his power to save her. Then I called Lucas to take me to the Springfield Police station to get them on Spencer. Right than all my Ruby plans were on hold until Spencer was put behind bars. I was currently sitting in an interrogation room waiting for an officer to come in and take my statement. I had already been sitting there for over forty-five minutes before an officer came in. "I am so sorry to have kept you waiting it has been a very busy day around here. I am Officer Smith what can I do for you today?" The officer asked me sympathetically. "I am here to report a crime against my mother. Also, I want to help you catch a serial killer who is wanted in upstate New York. Both things are related." Shocked the officer said "Okay miss please wait

    Current Location: Central Union hospital my mother’s roomAfter the police station I came back to the hospital. I had two hours before I was supposed to meet Shane. I was going to wait until than to tell him about Eric. At that moment I was waiting on the doctor to awake my mother from her medically induced coma. I had to tell her about Spencer before my family saw her and pointed the finger at the wrong man. Eric was currently in surgery at this very hospital and his possibility for survival was slim to none.Dr. Marsh came in and grabbed my mother’s medical chart. Then he checked her vitals before turning to me to speak. "Okay I am going to wake her up now. She will probably try yanking the breathing tube out again. I need you to hold down her arms when that happens so I can remove it safely understand?"I went ahead and stood at my mother’s bedside waiting for her to move. It took an agonizing thirteen minutes before she opened her eyes and tried to grab the tube. As soon as Dr. Mar

    Current Location: My cabin in the woodsThe next eveningI was sitting in peace and quiet aside from the crickets and owls. My nerves were completely fried right now. I spent over three hours with Shane as he recounted the events of that evening. "Babe it was horrible. I was on Palm Blvd. at the crossroads of Tyler Ave. As you know it is a four way stop and I flashed my lights to let the other car know I was going to let them go first, but they just sat there unmoving. So, I went ahead and went first. Halfway through the intersection I looked over at the car that was still sitting motionless, and I locked eyes with Ruby. Not wanted to deal with her I quickly looked away. Then before I knew it she had slammed her foot on the gas pedal and collided with my side of the car. That evil bitch did not even stop she just sped on out of site!" I was so pissed, and I had murderous thoughts running through my mind. Shane had to talk me out of hunting Ruby down and hurting her. I told Shane all a

    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.
