Emma:Hello again dear reader, it has been a while. I am thankful to Natasha for continuing to document the course of events not to mention that she picked up where I left off. I took some time to read over what had happened in the two and a half months that I was unconscious. I can not believe some of the things Ruby has done nor can I believe that Lucas told her everything. He is lucky Natasha had already punished him because mine would have been a far worse fate.I was surprised to find out when I woke up how big I was. Like seriously I felt like I was as big as a house. I was happy to see my love though. Natasha went down to the cafeteria when they got there to give me and Shane some privacy. He filled me in on the things that related to him, reminding me that Ruby had killed Carter. My eyes filled with tears, and I cried on his shoulder for a while. When I woke up, I could not remember anything from that night. My earliest memory was waiting for Natasha to show up for dinner.Whe
This bitch had a lot of fucking nerve expecting me to call her. I waved it off for the time being. I had no desire to speak to her, plus there was nothing she could say to stop me from my plans going forward. Before she killed Carter things may have been different. I was beginning to lose my taste for revenge, but this shit had it back up to its boiling point. This time around it felt more personal. There were a few things I planned to do today, but for the most part I knew I needed to rest. When I got sick, I was barely pregnant and now I was huge and could constantly feel the babies battling each other for room. I asked Kyle to bring a car around to the front of the house while I went to the bathroom for the tenth time today. Of course, they all tried to convince me to stay home, Shane most of all, but it was no use. I missed so much time, and I wanted things to feel somewhat normal again. I told everyone to stay put and that I would be back shortly before climbing into the car an
It took me a beat to understand who the man before me was. I never met the leader of the Bricks, but he paid me handsomely to take out Spencer and Big Teddy. I extended my hand to him expecting Don Anders to shake it, but instead he turned my hand over and kissed each one of my knuckles individually. The feel of his lips on my skin skeeved me out so I quickly withdrew my hand while my mother’s eyes shot daggers at me.Don Anders scolded at my mother and then smiled at me. “Do not worry my dear, you have been through so much I understand your hesitation and reluctance towards me. You will learn over time to trust me this I promise you. In fact, while you are here, I would like to say, partly for what you have done for me, from this day forward I consider myself to be your employee, whatever you need I will provide or do. Of course, that means anyone who works for me now answers to you as well.”The look on my mother’s face was hysterical. I am sure mine did not look much better. I was
Natasha: I was super excited because that night Tony and I were actually going on a date. He would not tell me where he was taking me, all he said was to dress up. I was going through my clothes and was not satisfied with anything I had. I ga.ve up and decided to go to Simple Etiquette. Though a lot of brides and grooms to be bought their wedding outfits there they also sold a wide variety of everyday gowns and dresses. When I arrived and walked in, I was surprised and annoyed to find Ruby’s friend Dede there. Of course, as soon as she saw me, she came walking over to talk to me. From what I remember Emma saying was no one had seen Dede in a while, but I guess she was just laying low. “Hi, your Natasha, Emma’s friend, right? What brings you here?” She asked me casually. Not wanting to be rube I said, “Oh hi Dede. Nothing much I have a date tonight and could not decide on something to wear so I thought I would get something new.” Something about her seemed off but I could not put m
Emma: I went over to my aunt and uncle’s house. I pleased to find out that my uncle had been released from the hospital. He always liked me more than my aunt Pamela so I knew with him here I would definitely get the information I was after. After my aunt let me in, she led me to the living room and ordered her maid to go fetch us some tea. I found her rather rude to talk to the people she hired the way she did like they were slaves rather than the hired help. My uncle and aunt looked horrible at the moment. I got why he looked the way he did he was recovering from a gunshot wound, but my aunt looked worse than him if that was possible. “Emma dear, I was so relieved to hear that you woke from your coma. How are you feeling child?” My uncle James asked me concerned. “Please uncle, I am just fine you are the one I am worried about.” I said as sweetly as I could. My uncle chuckled and aske me, “What brought you over here today? Not that we are not happy to see you, just shouldn’t you b
Natasha: I had no idea I could move so quickly. Some internal force came over me and I was on the waiter before the knife could be used to harm Tony. I was on top of him as Tony punched him square in the jaw. Tony and I grabbed the waiter and forced him into the men’s bathroom. People were looking at as with scared expressions on their faces, but we could not pay them any mind at that time. “Who the fuck are you, and why did you just try to kill me?” Tony asked with a pissed off tone. I could tell he was holding back his anger with difficulty. “Of course, you would not remember me you piece of shit! A few years ago, I hired you and another guy, Kyle I think his name was, to help me get rid of my wife but you assholes turned your back on me!” I really hoped Tony had a good reason to dick this man over. One of the most important things to me is loyalty. Tony started laughing and said, “Ah I remember now. Your Fran right? Look, we took her side because we found out you abused her, and
Natasha:“What do you mean who is this? You are answering my boyfriend’s phone who the fuck are you?” I said angrily. The man on the other end of the line laughed before saying, “Do not worry about your boyfriend you won’t be seeing him again!” Then the phone went dead. I tried calling back, but it went straight to voicemail. I called Emma and told her what happened, and she said she would get Kyle to track him down. I won’t lie, I was freaking out. Tony and I may not have been together long, but I was already madly in love with him.After we hung up, I was heading to my car when I noticed Ruby standing with an officer. They were laughing and touching each other. At that moment Ruby looked up and saw me, her face turning furious. She turned to the officer and said something. He looked at me with a frown before Ruby and him walked away. Shaking my head, I got in the car and drove back to my house.About an hour after I returned home Tony showed up. I was relieved that he was okay, but
Emma: Lucas showed up a few hours after I spoke with him on the phone. From his expression on his face, I could tell he was very upset with himself for telling Ruby everything, I seriously hope it is tearing him up inside. I still could not fathom why he would do it. Sure, he said he was trying to end our feud but me being me I did not buy it. “Hello Lucas. So, you say you have some information on Ruby, once you give it to me are you going to go run off and tell her what we plan to do with it?” I said sarcastically. I could see the pain in his eyes when he heard my words, but truth be told I could not give two shits about his feelings. He crossed me and I do not tolerate that type of deception. “Ma’am I am so sorry for what I did. If I knew you were going to wake up, I never would have done it. I will never speak to her again. I will not discuss anything pertaining to you with anyone unless you tell me otherwise. The information I have for you today is the whereabouts of where Ruby
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.
