Colby’s P.O.V
“I knew I shouldn’t have let you drive, oh my god Colby, what were you thinking?” Hayley yelled at me while I sat on the side of the hospital bed, with my head laid shamefully in my hands, and my eyes shut tight.
I couldn’t blame her for anger or her yelling at me, she was right and the question still stands like an elephant in the room.
What ‘was’ I thinking?
I didn’t have an answer.
Doctor Cane walked in with his clipboard in hand, he was a tall man, around 6’3 with graying dark brunette hair and serious green eyes.
The white doctors jacket made him look official. “Good evening, Colby. How are you feeling?”
THANK YOU FOR READING WITH ME!
I nodded towards the door gesturing to Hayley to follow, we went into the hallway walking in the direction of the infirmary, as the directions on the wall states. The closer we got to the infirmary the more my heart was rising into my throat. "Colby." Hayley grabbed my arm, forcing me to face her. "Do you really not feel anything about this?" I was red-faced as we made eye contact I couldn't hold back my tears any longer, I began to shake as I hiccupped through my quiet sobs. That's when Hayley did something unexpected, she pulled me into a hug and I leaned into her shoulder, tears soaking not only my face but her shoulder as well. All my emotions had hit me all at once, like a tidal wave hitting the shore.
Jason came with me, there was no time to stop. "How would they know if she is here or not?" "They have people who keep watch for Intel, give them some cash and people will do anything they ask." I explain, walking down the hallway. "Yeah but wouldn't they need someone in the hospital directly, they didn't even know her name." He says quickening his pace to meet my stride. "They don't need her name, they have a list of the infirmary, they steal babies and leave without a trace, how do you think they got Chloe in the first place, the hospital is like a candy store to my family they see a child they want and take them without hesitation, but in this case they are bound to making a mistake because they want Chloe dead." I explained as we got closer to her room. A nurse was leaving her room and she took off down the hallway making me feel suspicious, I ran into Chloe's room as she was sitting up a bit with a juice box. "Colby?" I ran to her side an
Lifting my leg and kicking down the metal door forcing it to crash into the wall behind it.It echoed bouncing off the walls as we quickly made our way into the room, it was dark so I switched on the light, keeping my gun hoisted towards the middle of the room in case someone shoots, or tries to attack.The room was almost silent, as I heard weeping in the far left corner of the room, a pillar in the way where I couldn’t see who was there. “Who's there?” I say loud enough for my voice to boom in the near empty storage unit. “Colby, you might want to see this.” Jason says standing on the other side of the pillar, I make my way over to him as I realize a red headed young woman cuffed by her ankle to a metal hook that was bolted into the wall.She was folded in on herself on a small dirtied cot on the floor. “Hey, are you okay?”Jason went to touch her. “Don’t fucking touch m
Chloe's P.O.V "You have to get up, Chloe." A nurse behind me speaks up, my head underneath the white blankets. I tightened the blankets more securely around me, I refuse, why is it that the nurses haven't noticed my babies are missing. The nurse sighs, hearing the door squeal open and closed again. "I don't understand why she won't get up, one minute she's screaming to hold them and the next she won't move." They whisper hushly to one another. They know I'm not deaf, and I'm laying right here, the ignorance was beginning to piss me off even more. "Most likely postpartum, it happens a lot." The other nurse replied. 'Postpartum, what? I don't even know what that word means!' "Poor girl, and so young too." I sat up and faced them, hair disheveled and tear dried eyes. "You haven't even noticed that my children are missing and somehow I'm supposed to trust you to be the ones to protect them when I was u
The streets filled with the sound of screeching tires and the smell of burning rubber, into the alley. Three cars, a silver Nissan, a white Toyota and one I wasn't expecting, a red mustang. The red mustang was my brothers and that didn't make sense to me. I stopped just short enough not to hit the Nissan, and two men came out. Camino, and Dee. The two out of three triplets that worked for my father, the only difference between the three is that Camino has a deep scar straight across his chubby face. He came up to my window and I rolled it down. "Damn it Colby what the fuck are you driving?" Camino questioned as he spat chewing tobacco over his shoulder. "Where are they Camino?" I asked, as I got out of the car. "I don't know what you're talking about man." Camino says moving his tongue over his teeth getting off the sticky tobacco. "You're a fucking lier." I hollard making my way to the abandoned unit behind him. "We can't let you in Colby, boss's orders." Dee says placing a
Chloe's P.O.V That wretched woman has twins, and I remember the first time I met her, she was almost as bad as Alistair. Her white curly hair and barely wrinkled face made me shiver. She used to tell Alistair to beat me more, that I had to learn more discipline, and show more respect. Everyday she stayed I had gotten beat at least once a day and instead of my meals once a day I got food maybe once every three days that month. I remember the fight Carolynn and Alistair had the last night she was around, it was the first time Carolynn stood up for me, at the time I didn't really understand why I was getting hurt and barely fed, I was only four or five at the time. I held Hayley's phone tightly in the palm of my hand seething with anger, any tighter the screen would crack. "Chloe, are you alright dear?" I turned towards the woman who gave birth to me. "No, and until they are safe I won't be." I admitted, passing Hayley her phone back. My mother nodded, if anyone could understand
Chloe's P.O.V I stood there breathless as I went face first into a police officer's chest. I stepped back trying to hold back the surprise, letting him into the room. "Are you the woman with the missing babies?" I can't lie or I'd be seen as an accomplice. "Yes I am." Letting worry fill my voice, my hands laced together anxiously. "When was the last time you saw them?" The more brute officer asked, his hand lazily on his gun holt. I eyed my mother for support before answering. "I, I didn't." Something hard was in my throat, something I couldn't swallow. "You don't know?" The man asked, raising a condescending eyebrow and folded his arms. "She was out cold, they were born prematurely due to unforeseen circumstances." My mother says, coming to my rescue, and wrapping her arm around my shoulders. "Is this true?" The man didn't seem to believe me, what mother would lie about their child? "Officer, I would never lie about my babies going missing, instead of asking so many que
There were neatly lined cans of soup on the shelf. He could make a run for it. When I was close enough, I gazed over at Jason, knowing what I was thinking. He nodded, letting me take the lead. "Hurry the fuck up, I don't have all day!" He kept eyeing the door. If at any moment he'll get caught by the cops red handed, and here they don't ask questions, they shoot first. The woman behind the cash opened the drawer, taking out the bills, fifties, twenty's, tens and fives, tears soaking her cheeks, hiccuping her panicked sobs. I stood up and grabbed him into a headlock. Any wrong move. I could break his neck with one twist of my arm, if inevitable. The man tried to free himself from my grasp, cashier was screaming and cowering with her hands protecting her head. He shot off the gun twice missing me by a quarter of an inch and the second just whizzed past the cashier's head as the glass casing behind her smashed into splintering shards everywhere, she screamed in fear and pain when g
