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
Current Location: In my car with Lucas and Kyle in route to Pearls house"Pearl still is not answering!" I said to Lucas and Kyle after hanging up for the twentieth time. I kept telling myself it is quarter after midnight, and she is probably sleeping, but it did not put my mind at ease. "Do not worry Ma'am we will be there in less than five minutes!" Lucas said as he pushed his foot down on the gas pedal even more. I was in complete panic mode. Both Kyle and Lucas continued to try and calm me down. As soon as we started pulling up to Pearls house, I opened the car door and jumped out, before the car even came to a complete stop. Before I knew it, I was running up Pearls front steps and banging repeatedly on the front door. Kyle and Lucas were not far behind me. Just as the two of them reached me the living room and hall light came on and a young girl of Maybe sixteen or seventeen opened the door with a huge yawn.I was way too scared for Pearl and the children’s safety to be polite. "
Current Location: Outside of 416 Jefferson Street where my house use to sit, but now there was nothing but ashesI was in complete and utter shock at the scene that laid before me. The place I have called my home for over three years now was completely gone. Of all the things I could have had running through my head at that moment, the most prominent one was how thankful I was that I gave away my cat last month to a new home. I did not have the time or energy to give it the care and love that it deserved. When Spencer told me on the phone that my house was on fire, I immediately suspected him. I knew he knew if he told me my house was burning down, I would rush to the scene. I actually assumed he would be here waiting to ambush me, but after a thorough search of the ten blocks surrounding my house’s location Lucas, Kyle, and the men Kyle employed most specifically Mac and Tony, they found no trace of Spencer. This was totally bizarre to say the least."I promise you Emma I did not do t
Current Location: Joe's BarAfter leaving Dede’s house, I went and saw my mother. My sister Amy and my brother Aaron were already with her. She was starting to look better already. My mother was also as high as a kite from all her pain medicine. Needless to say, I did not stay long. I swung by to bring Shane and Pearl some sandwiches that I picked up for them from the local deli, and to get Pearls house key so I could pick some more clothes up for the kids. I stayed with them while they ate than headed to Ruby’s house. She was not there, so I figured I would just deal with her later. Then I went to the nearest department store. I needed to buy a lot of groceries since I had way more mouths to feed than usual.I also wound-up spending over three thousand dollars on new toys for the kids. I know, I know it was excessive, but I felt bad that they were stuck in isolation, and maybe part of me thought the kids would like me and warm up to me more. Plus, I never get to buy toys, and some of
Current Location: In my kitchen preparing breakfast for all my guestsWhen I woke up the next morning, I found myself full of energy and I was restless. So, I decided I would make a breakfast feast for everyone who was currently in or around my cabin. Now let me tell you that was no easy feat. The people who were currently there, either inside or patrolling the outside grounds, were as follows. Austin, Carter, Molly, Lucas, Kyle, Tony, Mac, Moana, eight men who I still did not know by name, and myself. It was barely five a.m. when I started cooking, and it was nearly eight a.m. by the time I was done. I am telling you about this because as hard as it was to cook breakfast for seventeen people, It was going to be one of the last harmonious things that was going to happen for me all the way up until today as I write all these events down. Once everyone was fed, and their bellies were full I said goodbye to the kids and promised to be back by noon. This would be a promise I could not kee

Current Location: In the trunk of a car owned by an unknown assailant There are not many things that scare me, but at that moment my too three were happening all at once. I had been kidnapped, I knew nothing about who took me or why, and the worst thing was I was claustrophobic. Every few minutes I would start hyperventilating, than I would talk myself back down just for it to repeat as soon as I started breathing normally again. Luckily the man did not restrain my hands so I was able to take off the sack on my head. The man who took me did not take my cell phone. I was hoping that meant he was sloppy, and an amateur, but no such luck. He was using some tupe of cell phone jammer, so I could not call or text anyone. I could however use the flash light function, and I was able to keep track of the time. At that moment we had only been on the road for about seven minutes. I had no way of knowing how long I would be trapped in that trunk. The thought alone made me start panicking again.
Current Location: A warehouse where I was abducted too. Of all the people I thought would be capable of metaphorically stabbing Kyle in the back, Macs name would not even be close to being on the list. He was one of Kyles right hand men, one of the few people Kyle trusted with his life. Mac spoke to Kyle with empathy. "You are trying to figure out how long I have been working for Spencer am I right? But you have it all wrong Kyle. I work for you and by doing so I work for our boss. Spencer found me yesterday when boss sent me to grab the kids bookbags, since she forgot them. He told me the danger boss is in, and I believe Spencer with all my heart, that is why I am here with him. He called me an hour ago and told me to come here right away, but Spencer did you really need to torture Kyle like that?" Mac asked angrily. "Yes Mac I believe I did. You see I knew you were not a threat to Emma. You are just an underling, small fries if you will, in the criminal underground, bu Kyle here
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.
