Chapter 13 - Logan POV

I followed quickly with Jack. We jumped into the car and Jack floored it following the sirens on Amelia's car. I persistently called Leah’s phone but there was no answer. I knew something bad was happening but there was nothing I could do. My heart was racing, and I felt sick inside. We arrived at Leah’s as two men were being walked out in handcuffs.

Amelia walked into the house as an officer stopped both me and Jack outside on the pathway. Moments later an ambulance arrived, and paramedics rushed inside. It was like time stood still as we watched police tape start to be placed up along the front of her house. Neighbor's started to gather, and passersby started to stop and look. I couldn't help but pace. People were starting to talk and make presumptions.

“I hope the poor girl is alright.”

“That blasted alarm thank god the police are here to shut the damn thing up.”

“I heard she faked a break in last night, maybe she finally got what she had coming to her.”

“Bloody racket round here.”

I was about to lose my temper and scream at everyone when Amelia finally reappeared.

“Amelia!” I shouted.

She waved at the officer, and he let me through finally. She placed a hand on my chest as I tried to walk past her at the door and go inside.

“Logan, I can’t let you inside.”

“What is it.”

“Paramedics are stabilizing her before they can transport her.”

“What happened?”

“It seems the two scumbags returned. This time they caught Leah. She was found bound and stabbed.”

I felt my knees weakened and sickness bubbled up in my throat. I looked back at the car with one of the

suspects in and ran over. An officer stopped me and held me back.

“Let me go!” I snapped at him.

“Logan!” Amelia shouted.

I halted and turned on my heels to see the paramedics coming out with Leah on a stretcher.

“Where are they taking her?”

“Mercy general.” Amelia replied.

Jack was already fetching the car and pulling the car around. We tried to follow the ambulance but got stopped at several red lights on the way. My anger and frustration built every time we got stopped by traffic. I was on the phone most of the way to the hospital, trying to gain more information from Amelia while she was still at the house. She was not sharing much information for now. We pulled into the hospital car park; I was out of the car and running into reception before Jack had a chance to exit the car.

“Leah Garrison, where is she? She was brought in by ambulance.”

“Bear with me for one moment. I’m sorry sir, what was the name?” The receptionist asked.

“Leah Garrison, she came in by ambulance,” I huffed.

“She is currently in urgent care, are you family?”

Jack came up behind me and before he could stop me the answer was out of my mouth, “Yes, I'm her fiancé.”

I knew they would not let me in without being family; it was my only option.

“Wait here a minute, please.”

“Sir, what are you doing?” Jack asked.

“I need to see her.”

“I understand but do you really think that saying you are her...” Jack started but was interrupted by the receptionist returning.

“Follow me, please.”
