When Ruby left, Liam decided to make the call, he didn't know anyone who could get him hospital materials, so he had no choice than to call his mom, if he called any of his sisters, they would tell his parents and his mom will be mad that he didn't call her instead, so calling her was his best bet even though he risked getting an ear full."Hey, Mom,"Liam greeted when his mom picked up."Wait, you really called me first? This is not a dream?"His mom asked, he rolled his eyes at her dramatic response, it made it seem like he doesn't just up and call her, even though that was truly the case, he didn't like being reminded of it."Mom, come on,""What is it that you want? Because there has to be a reason why you called,"His mom said, she was right but that didn't mean he was going to agree with her."Mom, come on, why would a son need a reason to call his beloved mother?""Yeah, except you are the son involved, now spill, I will do it,""Wow, you are such a sweetheart Mrs. Wellington,"
"The ferry arrived last night, that's a day earlier and we got a call,"Sara announced walking into Ruby's office, Liam smiled, he knew his mom would pull some extra strings to get what he needed for him."Wow, really? That's good news,""Yes, doc, I can't believe this is happening, I thought you are capping when you said we are getting materials doing,""I told you I was serious, you have to start believing me more,""Well, don't blame me, I have gone through so much betrayal in the short period of time to trust just words,""I understand Sara, I understand and we have this young man over there to thank for it,"Ruby said pointing at him, he waved not knowing what else to do."Oh, really? On top of helping here, you also helped us get what we need to work? You are an angel, Liam,"The older woman said."No, he is not, he is a devil with a good heart,"Ruby replied smiling in his direction, he smiled back, the nurse looked from her to him."Alright, Mr. Devil with a good heart thank y
Wow, so you are some kind of spy?"Ruby asked, of all the things that had run through her mind while she waited for Liam to return from where he had run off to in such a hurry leaving her here for almost six hours with the baby, this wasn't what she had thought, she had a lot of thoughts while she waited for him to return, thoughts that weren't nice."Yeah, you can say that,""And you are here to spy on this island?""Yes,""Why?""See Ruby, I don't know just how much I can tell you but this place, this place has to be one of the worst places in this country, there's are so many shady deeds going on here that if not properly taken care of may lead to lots of casualties, I think the reason why your people wanted you guys out if here was because they found out."Liam replied, Ruby couldn't for the life of hers understand what he meant by everything he was saying, she already knew the island wasn't safe but at least it wasn't dangerous either, there are lots of gamblers and drug dealers
"Liam?"He heard Ruby call, she told him she would be coming around but when he hadn't seen her he knew she must have been busy, the hospital has been extra busy and he understood, it was late, he quickly rushed to get the door and opened it, she stood there looking so scared,"Hey, what happened Ruby?"He asked pulling her into the house with him, she was scared, her hands are shaking so much."Liam,"She said again this time as a cry, he hugged her close as she started crying for real, he let her cry it out while hugging her and patting her back."What happened Ruby?"He asked after the crying lessened, she looked at him with those big pretty eyes that held so much fear right now that he wanted to do nothing but hunt down whoever or whatever made her cry."I saw them, I saw them, they, oh my God, it was horrible,"She said covering her face, whatever she saw must have been horrifying for her to be this shaken."Hey, baby, calm down, you are safe now, I am here,"He said hugging her
He said feeling the sadness overwhelm him, each time he thinks about that day, he still couldn't forget how it had started as just a normal day in their camp, his teammates teasing the new father and the only girl in their team, then their head had instructed them to go check out a situation which was not supposed to stay long or be dangerous, they had let their guard down, why because there wasn't a war, they weren't fighting anyone, so no one expected them to be attacked but they never returned the same, his teammates died in the fire and he was able to survive by chance when the impart of the bomb had thrown him away from where the car had burnt to ashes right in front of him."Hey, Liam,"He heard Ruby call and he slowly got out of his nightmare and found her holding his hands again."I am fine, just that each time I think about what happened I end up an emotional mess."He said, she nodded, she still looked shaken, he wondered who the man was that was killed, from her explanation
Ruby woke up the next morning in Liam's arms, it took her a while to grabs what happened and why she slept with him on the same bed and when she did remember, she wished she hadn't, the event of the previous night replayed in her head like a movie, that moment the man had fallen from the impact of the gun shot, him struggling to still run away after bring shot, the men who shot him stopping him and beating him up until he was dead and then loading him into their truck, she has never witness such horrors before and it heart wrecking, even what Liam had told her about his experience didn't compare to it, his was worst, Liam was such a happy and easygoing person that she would never had guess that such a thing happened to him, he had some kind of strong coping technic, she wished she had that too, then she won't have to have nightmares and be trapped in the past of ugly events, the most ugly events of her life being her divorce and also the murder she witnessed yesterday night, that pers
"You don't think that's it right? They can't be selling their babies outright?""You said it yourself doc, I can't put it past with the things going on here,""Oh God no, so does that mean the moms that abandon their babies close to the hospital do not want to sell their baby? does this mean they might have been forced into doing it?"She asked, she really shouldn't be thinking these things, babies are precious no mother would give her baby up except she can't help it."We can't jump to conclusions yet Ruby, I will make some inquiries even though talking with the locals doesn't help, they keep to themselves so much,""Yeah, even the women too, they hardly say anything, okay some can't speak English but the ones that can aren't talking either as if something or someone is controlling them.""If this is it, then we are in a lot more than we might have bargained for, this place is not safe and you should warn your team, sticking together would help us more, though I doubt they will do an
Liam sat staring at his system, waiting for his brother-in-law to pick up, he choose to do a video call because he wanted to be face to face with him, the last few days has been regular, pretty normal and there was nothing out of the ordinary, he spent most of his day at the hospital helping out as much as he can and then, he comes back home with baby Kristen who was growing attached to him as the days goes, he was still in the lookout for her mom but so far there hasn't been any positive response, not like he wanted to give her up, he just wanted to know why she felt it was okay to abandon her baby but then last night happened and now he had more to do, he needed to make sure he can get to the root of everything happening so that what Ruby witnessed the night before won't happen again.After the incident with Ruby, he decided to tell his brother-in-law what he had found out so far, there was no need to keep prolonging things, he needed the island to be investigated as soon as possibl
