Angel place Tisha on one of the carts while Dom put pressure on her chest.
" Start the car," I say following behind them. Angel gets in the back seat with Dom putting Tisha in his lap. I sit Camille up in the seat the get in closing the door.
"Let's go," I say holding Camille in my arm. I look over at Angle to see tears running down his face. I close my eyes start praying that Tisha and Camille make it through this unharmed.
The back door flings open " give me Tisha," Dom said reaching in the car. Angle hands her to Dom then slides out the car.
" Sir do you need help," a man in scrubs asked. " No, but she does," I say moving her towards the door. He grabs her I get out of the car seeing Tisha getting rushed into the hospital on a stretcher. I look over at Camille being put on the stretcher " do you need any medical attention," ask one of the nurses.
" No," I say following them into the ER.
" Sir you can't go back there," said the nurse I shake my head.
" The waiting room in the first door on the left," he says.
" Okay," I say I pulling out my phone.
" Is everyone ok," papa asks?
" No, Tisha got shot in the chest and Camille got grazed on the side of the head," I say.
" s**t, how did they find us," he asks? I stop in my tracks how did they find us I thought.
" s**t," I say hanging up calling Trey. The first call kept ringing until it went to voicemail. I call a second-time " boss," Trey said.
" Bring everyone home now," I say.
" We'll be home in an hour," he said before hanging up.
I walk into the waiting room to see Angle sitting down with his hands covering his face. I take a seat next to him " it will be okay." I say rubbing his back. He says nothing when my phone rings.
" Hello" I answer.
" I heard what happened. Is everyone okay," Danny asks.
" No Tisha got shot in the chest and Camille got grazed," I say.
" Damn," he said.
" Yeah make sure the twins get in safely," I say.
" I will," he said before hanging up. I look around the room to see Dom on the phone. I walk over to him " get him tied up. I'll be there in a couple of minutes," Dom said.
Dom turns to me " we found one of them," he said.
" Show no mercy, I say.
" Trust me I won't," Dom says then walks out the waiting room. I look at my phone seeing that Danny texted saying Trey ain't answering his phone.
" f**k," I say calling Trey a couple of times but he doesn't answer. I take a seat next to Angel rubbing my face " What's going on," he asked?
" Can't get in contact with Trey," I say.
" He'll protect them with his life," he says.
" I know it's just a lot of s**t going on," I say.
"Yeah," he says leaning back in the chair. For the next couple of hours, I call between Trey and Danny. I also received calls from mama checking on the girls.
" The family for Brown," the doctor says walking into the waiting room.
" Yes," Angel said standing up.
" The bullet didn't hit any major arteries," the doctor says.
" Thank god," Angel says with relief on his face.
" She has lost a lot of blood so she'll be needing a transfusion. We also have to make sure the baby is okay," he says.
" What baby," Angel asks.
" Ms. Brown is two months pregnant it seems," the doctor says. Angel looks at him " thanks doc," he says then sits down.
We sit in silence for a few seconds, " did you know," he asks.
" No, but that explains why she's been acting weird lately," I said.
" Yea, but a baby," he said.
I start laughing " it could be worse," I say. " It could," he says.
A few seconds later another doctor walks in " family for Ms. Smith," she says.
" Yes," I say standing up." Ms. Smith doesn't have any major injuries. But she did lose some blood. Since she got grazed on her temple we would like to keep her overnight" she said.
" Okay," I say going back to my seat. I look over to see Angel in a daze.
" You better straighten up before you see Tisha," I say pulling out my phone.
" Gio," Danny say answering the phone.
" Send some guards to the hospital, "I say.
" I'll send four," Danny said before hanging up.
" Brown family," the reception calls. Angel gets up following her to the back. God protect the both of them I thought. " Family for Smith," the reception calls I get up following her to the back.
Camille
" Do you think she has a concussion," I hear someone ask.
" Might with her getting grazed on the side of her face and falling," I hear a male voice say.
I open my eyes to close them back again. "When she's wake up we're going to check and look at the wound," the male voice says.
" Okay," someone says then the door close. I opened my eyes again to see Mrs. Lilly, Victoria, and Micheal sitting around me.
" How are you sweetie," Mrs. Lilly ask.
" My face hurts," I say touching the side of my face. Michael walks over to the side of the bed " do you remember what happened after dinner last night," he asks.
" I remember eating some cake with Tisha outside. She gets shot in her chest then I get shot on the side of my face," I say. He shakes his head then walks away from the bed pulling out his phone. " What happened to Tisha," I ask. Victoria walks to the end of the bed " the bullet didn't hit nothing but she lost all of blood. Since she's pregnant they want her to stay a couple of days," Victoria said. " Okay," I say a few seconds later the doctor comes in.
" Mrs. Smith I'm doctor Gallo. I'm going to check to see if you have a concussion," he said. I shake my head sitting up we did a few vision and hand coordination tests.
" You are fine but if you do have any vision, balance or concentration problems during the next couple of weeks come back to see me," he says. " I will," I say before he leaves.
" When can I see Tisha," I ask looking around the room. No one says anything " let me call Vonnie," Michael said pulling out his phone. I look over at Victoria seeing that she has a really sad face. I look over at Mrs. Lilly seeing her usual stone face.
Damn, let it be worse than what they say I though.
The door opens with Gio coming in walking straight to me.
" Love how are you," he asks pulling me into a hug.
" Good besides my head hurting," I say. " Good," he said kissing my face.
" Stop," I laugh pushing his face away from mine. He placed one more kiss on my lips before backing away. We stare at each other for a few seconds " when can you take me to see Tisha," I ask.
He looks back at his parents " can y'all please step outside of the room," he asks. After the door close " you can't see Tisha right now," he says.
" Why can't I," I ask him folding my arms across my chest.
" She's in the ICU and can have limited visitors," he says.
" How bad is it," I ask.
" The bullet missed her heart but she lost a lot of blood. With her being pregnant they want to keep a close eye on her," he says. I wipe my eyes as they start to water " love this is not your fault. I should have taken better precautions when we went out," he said.
" She's hurt and I couldn't do anything to protect her," I say. Gio hugs me " love Tisha is strong. She'll make it through this," he says then kiss me on my forehead.
