My Own Worst Enemy Chapter 40
Current Location: Amelia's diner It was now after one a.m. and we were about thirty minutes away from my cabin. It was a small diner that was open twenty four hours a day seven days a week. Upon entering you could see that this was the go to joint for people to sober up after a long night of drinking. I spotted Big Teddy in a booth in the back corner of the diner. I proceeded over to him, and sat down cautiously across from him. Kyle, Tony, and Mac were all outside watching to make sure not happened to me. I had that sense of deja vu. I really hoped by the end of this meeting I would not end up in the trunk of a car. I shivered at the thought of it. "Thank you for meeting me here at such a later hour Emma. I know that it must be quite the inconvenience, and you probably have a lot of questions. Let me explain why I tracked you down. I am simply looking for April White, your mother." Big Teddy said casually as he took a sip of his coffee. "What does that have to do with me? If you ar

Current location: Dr. Marsh’s office I could not believe that Pearl was murdered. I had so many questions running through my head. Like how did this person do it? How did they get by without a single person seeing them? What did this person hope to accomplish by killing Pearl? Before that day I would have believed Spencer was behind it, but what would we he have gained from doing so? None of this made any sense to me! I was frustrated and getting nowhere with my internal questions. Dr. Marsh had stepped out to get the autopsy report on Pearl and I was going a little stir-crazy waiting on him. I waited for about thirty minutes before Dr. Marsh came walking back in. “I apologize for taking so long, but we had an emergency trauma come in and I had to help them first. I have gone over miss Donaldsons autopsy report, and there is no doubt about it she was murdered. I was hoping that it was an error, but sadly it was not. If you would like I could come and talk with Mr. Donaldson with you

Current Location: The Shed behind my cabin with Shane I had just filled Shane and Kyle in on what my mother told me about Ruby. Shane had murder in his eyes. “What the fuck was Ruby thinking?” Why would she go after my mother she was innocent and never did anything to Ruby to call for this!” I grabbed Shane’s hand. “I am assuming she wanted to hurt you and she knew if she went after Pearl, it would hurt you immensely. Do not worry Shane she will not get away with this. Look we will deal with her soon. In fact, the main reason I am going to have dinner with Big Teddy is to strategize what to do with Ruby. I figured he is a big time criminal, and he can get away with the things we cannot.” Shane and I finished up our conversation than went back inside to say goodbye to the kids. Afterwards we headed to meet Big Teddy to discuss Ruby. I knew this was going to be an intense meeting seeing as Shane was Big Teddys son and they never met before. We pulled up to the restaurant, proceeded i

Current Location: Sitting in my car in an empty park I needed to clear my head before heading back to the cabin. I knew the conversation I was about to have with Shane was going to be very emotional. I did not know how I was going to tell him why I needed to give our daughter up. I also needed to talk to my mother again and I was not looking forward to that. And then there was Ruby. I needed to get back on track, destroying what little hope she had left. I had one idea that was not necessary but would be a hell of a lot of fun for me. I took a long-exaggerated breath put the car in drive and drove home. When I arrived back at the cabin Shane was sitting on the front porch. I could tell he was in deep thought, and I sat there just staring at him for a few moments before exiting the vehicle and walking over to him. “Hey Shane. Are you ready to talk or did you want to be alone? Whatever you need I will do.” Shane surprised me by standing up and pulling me into a hug. “Babe I am so sor

Current Location: Outside of Ruby’s house After Ruby hung up on me, I ran frantically into the house. Kyle saw the alarmed look on my face. “Ms. Emma what is the matter?” I stopped in front of him and took a minute to catch my breath. “Ruby just called. She is on her way back here we have maybe ten fifteen minutes to finish planting the snakes and spiders before high tailing it out of here.” Kyle gave me a hard serious face before turning to one of his men and saying, “Go tell everyone to get the job done now we need to clear out of here. I want the job done in no more than five minutes or we are going to have a serious problem got it!” The man quickly went to inform the others while Kyle and I headed back outside.“Kyle as soon as they get all the cages in the van drive it far enough away that you cannot see it from the house. Then you can walk back to my car, and we can watch the show!” Kyle grinned and said “No can do it will be you coming to the van. First off Ruby may recognize

Current Location: In Kyles surveillance van two blocks from Ruby’s houseRuby entered her house with an angry expression on her face. “Ugg, I hate these stupid fucking politicians. They are always trying to say each vote counts and all that bullshit. Stupid assholes!” Ruby continued to rant and rave to herself about the “politician” she had just lost twenty minutes of her day because of. She sat down on her couch took her shoes off and turned on her tv than she proceeded to lay down. It was roughly twenty minutes before one of the spiders made its presence known. Ruby was lying there, and it looked like she was starting to dose off. I could be wrong about that though. From where she was and where the camera was it was hard to make out if her eyes were open or closed. Anyway, that is not important. What is important is what the first spider chose to do.This particular spider was a goliath bird eater. It was the biggest spider in the world and though they are venomous spiders they are

Current Location: The cabin I did not understand why Shane called me for help. I did not trust him no matter is motives. And even if his father was trying to kill him, I did not see what that had to do with me. I did, however, agree to meet him for dinner the next night. After I picked up the kids we went home and had dinner. The rest of the night was uneventful, and we all went to bed rather early.The next morning, I made the kids breakfast, gave Shane a kiss and headed to my office. I had a few hours before I was due to be at Amelia’s diner to meet Millie and I wanted to get things in order at work since I was due back Thursday. I told Shane I was going to be late, so he was on his own for dinner. When I got to my office the first thing, I did was check on which of my clients were due to come see me Thursday but the couple I did have for both Thursday and Friday rescheduled for next week therefor I did not have to come back until Monday unless a client called and asked for an emer

My Own Worst Enemy Chapter 139
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
My Own Worst Enemy Chapter 138
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
My Own Worst Enemy Chapter 137
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
My Own Worst Enemy Chapter 133
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
My Own Worst Enemy chapter 132
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 Own Worst Enemy Chapter 131
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.
