The nurse instructed me to grab the two towels hanging on the towel rack. She then had me put one under Shane’s head. “Okay I am going to remove the scalpel, once I do you need to use the remaining towel and put pressure on the wound immediately!”

I frantically shook my head. “Are you crazy? You can not take that out he will bleed to death!” The nurse rolled her eyes at me. “Do not worry I know what I am doing okay get ready.”

I wanted to slap myself. In my panic I forgot she was a trained professional. The nurse counted down to one then pulled out the scalpel. Blood started squirting out of Shane’s neck. I quickly pushed the towel on top of the wound making sure not to cut off his airway. I was trying not to pass out from the sight of the blood.

To my horror the nurse said, “Do not stop applying pressure. I need to go get Dr. Marsh. If he wakes up at all do not let him get up. And try to make sure he does not talk either!” Just like that she flew out of the room. I was completely fre

    When I woke, I was in a hospital bed and in a daze. It took me a few beats to remember what happened. I looked around the room and saw tony standing there staring out the window.“Tony?” He swiftly turned and came over to me. He grabbed my hand entangling his fingers with mine. He gave me a fuzzy feeling deep in the pit of my stomach. “Oh, thank God you are okay Tash. I am so sorry I was not quick enough to stop that man from hitting you. I subdued him and called Kyle. He sent someone posing as a cop to get him. He took him to the shed behind the cabin.”Tash? No one had ever called me that. I actually really liked the way it sounded on his lips. I squeezed his hand and said, “This is not your fault Tony. You kept me safe from a further assault from him. Where is Dr. Marsh? And did he tell you how Shane is doing?”Tony explained to me that the doctor went home for the evening, but he will be back first thing in the morning to discharge me. He said Shane was okay and he also already le

    Dr. Marsh came over to me to try and examine the back of my head and I waved him off. “Doc where is nurse Heidi right now?” Surprised by my tone Dr Marsh said, “She should be out doing her rounds why what is it?” Tony understood immediately and swiftly left the room without the doctor even noticing. “She is the only one who has consistently been in both rooms. Yesterday when you mention there was surveillance from Emma’s room, she looked worried. Now I think I understand why. Is nurse Heidi one of Emma’s nurses?” Dr. Marsh’s eyes grew wide. “I had not even realized that. No, she is not she would not have any reason to be in Miss Whites room at all!” Forgetting I was the patient, and he was the doctor he ordered me to go out to reception and have them page nurse Heidi for him. I did as he said. Though the nurse at the reception area thought it strange, she did as I asked. It must have been the crazed look I had in my eyes. I went back to my hospital room and informed Dr. Marsh I was g

    I did not even hesitate for one second and I took off like a bull running straight for Emma’s room. I was ecstatic that the closest person to a sister I had was awake and things were going to get better finally. I rounded the corner and went straight into her room. I had not even realized that Tony was right behind me until I laid eyes on Emma, and he said, “I am so sorry Tash. It seems someone lied to us.”The happiness I was feeling shattered into a million pieces. At first all I wanted to do was cry out in agony, but those feelings quickly turned to pure anger. Dr. Marsh walked briskly into the room and over to Emma. As he was checking her monitors, he turned to us with a confused expression on his face. “I do not understand why they told me she woke up when we can clearly see that is not the case.”“Shit. It is a distraction. It had to be nurse Heidi. She needed us here for some reason, but why?” I said in frustration. Understanding colored Tony’s face. “So, she could leave the ho

    I could not fathom why Tanner would attack me. I know the news he learned about his wife was unsettling, but hadn’t he heard the expression do not shoot the messenger. He stared at me with true terror on his face. It was like he was asking himself what he got himself involved in. his eyes kept darting between Tony, Kyle and I but they always wound up right back on Kyle. I could tell he was extremely weary of him out of the three of us. He was wrong though; I was the one he had to worry about. No one tries to attempt to kill me without paying the price. “I am only going to ask you this once Tanner, and you better tell me the truth. I am one who is going to decide what we do with you, so I suggest you do not lie. Why the hell did you attack me, and did Ruby send you to do it?” I said in a way to show I was the boss around here. He gulped loudly before saying, “Please do not call her that her name is Sabrina. No, she did not send me. After you left my office, I rushed out and followed y

    Tanner was visually devastated. He really did think we were lying to him about his wife. I felt bad for him but at the same time this bastard did smash me in the back of the head, so my sympathy only went so far. “Why would she do this? I cannot believe you were not lying to me after all. I married a monster, didn’t I?” Tanner began sobbing I turned my back trying to give him a bit of privacy. “Oh my God my children! What if she is on some rampage and she winds up going home and hurting them?” Tanner cried out. I tried reassuring him. “I highly doubt that very much, she seems to only attack people who do not do what she wants. I do not know why she came back here to burn down the cabin, she must not know we are no longer staying here. Look I will give you a pass this time but if you ever come after me like that again one of the many men around me will kill you do you understand?” Tanner did not chance saying a word and just nodded enthusiastically. I cut the rope that bound him with

    What was Ruby’s obsession with kidnapping and causing fires. Like seriously she could be a little more creative. I looked at nurse Heidi with skepticism in my eyes. “If Ruby did in fact kidnap your son why not to the police or find someone to help you?” She gave me a confused expression. “I have no idea who that is. The woman who took my child, her name is Sabrina Baxter. I did not go to the cops because she said she would kill my boy.”I could understand why she was scared, and that was with not actually knowing who she was dealing with. “Ruby is Sabrina’s real name. She has been using a false alias for years and I recently found out about it. Look, I will help you get your son back, but after you will need to go to the police and tell them everything. Deal?” nurse Heidi stared at me with a glimmer of hope in her eyes. “If you can save him, I will do anything you want. I will be indebted to you for life.”I was going to get more information from her but then my phone rang. It was Moa

    Of all the people who would have told Ruby about Emma’s plans and mine the last person I would suspect of doing so was Lucas. He was loyal to a fault when it came to Emma so why would he tell her? “What did Lucas tell you Ruby? You sound like a crazy person right now.” I asked wondering. Ruby laughed and said, “I know about everything do you hear me. About my job, about her long-term relationship with Shane, even the fact that she was behind my brother’s murder! And so much more.” I gulped not knowing what to say further. Then a slick smile went over my lips. There were still plenty of things Lucas had no idea about. “Oh, did he also tell you that when you put the cabin ablaze someone very important was there and saw the whole thing?” Curiously she asked, “Who are you talking about? Everyone I care about are either dead or left me because of my asshole cousin.” I snorted. “Oh, I bet Tanner would be hurt if he heard you did not care for him.” The silence on her end of the line was de

    I cannot say I blame nurse Heidi for running away. She was facing jail time and her son was still missing. Maybe if she knew why I had to rush out of here so fast yesterday, she would have stuck around. I could not dwell on it though; I did not have the time. I needed to find out where her son was after all a promise is a promise. With each passing day Ruby seemed to be getting more unstable and at this point I would think she would be capable of doing anything, including killing the child. I went and checked in on Emma before leaving to go see Kyle. She was looking rather well and that pleased me. I stayed for about a half hour before heading to Kyle’s hangout. I was surprised when I arrived to see so many people in one place. I wondered for a moment what other business he was involved in, but I pushed the thought from my mind. It was none of my business anyway. I walked up to Kyle, and he beamed at me. “Good news one of my men is bringing Lucas in, he was running away with his wif

    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.
