Natasha:

I reached into my pocket and pulled out my cell phone. I turned on the screen praying to God Ruby could not see the light from it through the keyhole. I quickly put it on silence without vibration. I sent an urgent text to Tony saying, “I did not make it out in time. Do not worry, she did not catch me. I am currently hiding in a big oak chest. Text me when she leaves the building again.”

Tony responded as quick as lightning. “Jesus Tash, that is not what I meant by get out of there. If she does not leave within twenty minutes, I will set the fire alarm off forcing her out.” I simply said okay and put my phone screen side up on my lap so I could see when the next text came through. I peaked out of the keyhole watching Ruby’s every move.

Every bit of this seemed wrong to me. I felt like a stalker trying to learn the ins and outs of my target. It was not a pleasant feeling at all. Ruby picked up her phone from the kitchen counter and made a phone call. I did not know who she

    Emma: Natasha and I stood there staring down at the men we loved. We exchanged shocked glances with one another before Shane got to his feet and grabbed my hand. “Come on babe we can go into the kitchen and give those two their own privacy while we have ours.” Shane said, pulling me along with him. Part of me wanted to break free of his hand and run away screaming. Everything I have been through did not compare to how much this one simple question scared me. We entered the kitchen, and both sat down at the dining room table across from one another. He gave me a slight smile before saying, “Babe I know this is a big decision for you. And I want you to know no matter if you say yes or no, I love you and we will stay together. I know you have always hated the idea of marriage, but you know it is something important to me so take your time my love.” He was right, the thought of marriage made me feel sick to my stomach. In my experience everyone I have ever known for the most part that

    Emma: A few days later I was getting dressed for Lucas’s funeral thinking about what happened after Shane asked me to marry him. I wanted to immediately go back on my answer, but the look on Shane’s face prevented me from doing so. My answer made him so happy, and I could not bring myself to take that feeling away from him. After all he had been through so much shit, he needed a win. I had heard Natasha cursing someone out in the living room, so Shane and I went to see what was going on. I would like to say I was surprised that Ruby was in my house yet again, but nothing about her shocked me anymore. Though I was angry she once again showed up without any warning I sighed heavily then walked over to her grabbed her forcefully by the arm and pulled her from the living room into my office. “What the fuck are you doing here Ruby? I told you the other day when we spoke on the phone I need to think about your proposal!” I said irritated. My irritation was wiped away when I saw the desp

    Emma:These fucking stupid ass Saxtons. Why was I cursed with such horrible cousins? First there was Ruby and all the shit she does. Joy is not much in fact I think she may be worse. And Derek was a whole other shit storm. I wish they all would just disappear from the face of the earth and leave me in peace. Of course, that was not going to happen until I did something about it. And believe me my patience was wearing thin. These girls would be taken care of if it is the last act, I did in my topsy turning life.“Why were you at my house in the first place? Never mind I don’t care. Well let’s go deal with her then. Get in the car Ruby you are coming with us as well.” I said in a pissed off tone. Ruby hesitated with a look of unsurety on her face. But after a minute she climbed in, and I told Paul to drive back to the house. Looking at him made me miss Lucas more than I was missing him at the funeral. Paul was the complete opposite of him, and I was not sure I liked it one bit. But I di

    Natasha: Emma and I exchanged a worried glance at one another. I did not know how to explain away Officer Smith being at my house and there was also the matter of the dead chick currently in Emma’s basement. “Emma why don’t you go work on the project we were doing, and I will go outside and talk to the detective.” She gave me a tight nod and walked back to the basement door giving me one last look over her shoulder and entered closing the door behind her. I gestured for the Detective to go over to the porch table, and I followed after him after closing the front door. He looked at me with his piercing eyes before saying, “I am not sure if you caught my name. I am Detective Morris from the Springfield police station. My son, Officer Smith, informed me he was going to your place of residence to question you on some matter that he had not disclosed to me. Since than no one has seen hide or tail of him. Can you explain that to me Miss Greene?” I was nervous and was doing my best not to

    Emma: I walked slowly towards the front door thinking about how much I wish people would stop ringing my doorbell. Like seriously most people who I engage with just come over and walk right in. it is not often that someone rings or knocks on my door let alone it happening twice in the same say. I reached the door and there was not any one there annoyed I went to close the door when an envelope lying on my doorstep caught my eye. I bent down to pick it up before going back in the house. I went to the dining room table and sat down. I proceeded to open the envelope and pull out its contents. Inside was a mad of a wooded area drawn by hand and a small note. “Emma, I am sure you are curious what this is about, but I am not going to give it away. Find the spot on the map marked with an x. to get your next objective. The only clue I am giving you is it is Bellows Forest off Sinclair Blvd. Do this or your daughter will pay the price. I am waiting.” I didn’t even stop to think and grabbed

    Natasha:I was scared out of my mind at what Detective Morris just said to me. I closed my eyes and reminded myself that he was just fishing, he had no proof or real evidence. “Detective Morris, I have already told you everything I know. Of course, Tony’s DNA was on your son mine probably was as well. He was in my house, and he shook hands with both of us. Not only that he sat in Tony’s chair which I warned him he may not want to seeing as Tony just got done exercising and he was sweating all over it, but he said he didn’t mind. Now if there is nothing further, I am in the middle of something here.”I hung up the phone, letting out a deep breath. Kyle and Shane both looked at me than each other and burst out in laughter. “Did you really just blame Tony for sweating all over someone else. I do not think I have ever seen that man as much as drop one dew drop of sweat.” Kyle said between his laughter. I smiled and shook my head at how absurd it all was.“What do you mean Emma up and vani

    Emma: The whole entire drive on my way to the restaurant on the map I thought about all the people I have pissed off in the past year. I still could not pin down who could possibly be behind this. Like before Ruby is the only one that came to mind however this did not seem like her style. Plus, I was pretty sure she never figured out I had a daughter. There was also Don Anders that I am sure I have offended with not taking him up on his over right away. I sighed pulling up to the restaurant knowing the only way to figure it out was to follow the clues. I enter the restaurant and went up to the hostess stand. I asked for a table and asked to use a phone. She sat me at a table in the back and let me borrow her personal cell phone. I called Kyle but he did not answer I left him a message and explained to him everything that has transpired since I left the house. I hung up and gave the hostess back her phone. A few moments later the waiter came over and I ordered a rum and coke and som

    Natasha: Before any of us knew what was happening Tony, Kyle, Shane, and I were all pinned to the floor by the police with them restraining our arms behind our backs. Well, this definitely was not the day I expected when I woke up this morning. The strangest things went through your head when you thought everything was over for you. I was currently trying to remember if I locked my front door when I left this morning. Like that mattered at all with everything that was going on at the present time. From what I saw before I was forced to the ground Detective Morris was not among the officers. In fact, it looked to be only regular police officers who showed up. I could hear loud trucks pulling up out front but from the angle I was at I could not tell if it was more cops or something else entirely. “Which one of you is the mastermind of your operations? One of you better answer me now or you will be in a world of hurt so help me.” One of the officers said to my left. Kyle was the first

    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.
