When she sees me she runs over with the deputy. ” Goof, Silvy is still inside.” Megan whines. “I know. She was doing her job and now Silvy and my baby are in danger. Where were you? Fucking in the supply closet again.” I barked. “No.” Megan huffs and crosses her arms over her chest. “I didn’t make it that far yet,” she whispers. Is she fucking kidding me with this shit? They need to fire this slut. “What is going on?” I ask the deputy. “I’m sorry but I can’t say anything.” the guy says. I want to punch him in the face. I’m about to yell at him but Ace beats me to it. “Call Bradford and tell him the Renegades are here. He will tell you to talk to us.” Ace yells. The deputy pales “Yes, sir. Sheriff Bradford told me to expect you. We have a hostage situation. Two addicts are holding a pregnant nurse until they get painkillers.”
Get me in there. I need to see my ol’e lady.” I yelled making sure he knew there would be no argument. The deputy didn’t argue and started to lead us towards the back down a side hallway.” Not without me you aren’t,” Tony called out. When did he get here? Shit, I didn’t call him. That should have been the first thing I did. ” Tony, I.” Tony holds up his hand ” No worries. Gena called me as soon as she heard. Your mind was on Silvy. I get it.” Glad he understands. The deputy weaves through a couple of deserted hallways.” We cleared everyone out through the back. The off–duty officer got everyone close to the room out just as the incident started about twenty minutes ago. The off–duty officer jumped in to try to get the situation under control until backup could arrive. ” he informed us. I didn’t care about all that. I just wanted to know Silvy’s status. ” And Silvy?” Tony asked.” Meathead told me she appeared calm and was keeping eye contact with him while trying to talk to the guy holding her,” I said. ” That sounds like her. Calm in a crisis.” Tony said with pride in
his voice.
When we turned the corner the scene before me made my heart stop and a chill run up my spine. In the arms of a tweaker with a knife pointing at her belly is my Silvy. They are standing in the middle of the ER with their back to the ambulance bay. The girl was waving her knife wildly screaming Where is the doctor with the painkillers? You said he was coming.” ” He is coming. He can’t just take those kinds of meds. he has to go to the pharmacy and get authorization.” Bradford said. ” He needs to hurry up. This lady’s stomach is creeping me out. It keeps moving or something. It is gross.” the guy said. I look at Silvy over Meathead’s shoulder. She is sweating and taking slow deep breaths like she is trying to keep herself calm. She has a hand on the side of her stomach rubbing it like she is soothing the baby. I see some blood on the top of her hand and I see red. I want to kill the fucker.
Silvy must have noticed something because she turns her eyes from Meathead to me and Tony. She mouths I’m okay.” I want to trust her but I will feel better when I have her in my arms so I can see for myself. If there are any more scratches on her I will beat him bloody, Bradford keeps the tweakers focused on him. I four deputies coming in from the ambulance bay behind them.” It won’t be much longer,” Bradford said. As soon as the words left his mouth the deputies from the back charged quickly. In the blink of an eye, the deputies have gotten Silvy away from the guy and both

were on the floor in handcuffs. Meathead was closer and grabbed Silvy holding her close. I moved around him to get to Silvy. Silvy let go of Meathead and walked straight into my arms. I held her tight. Did they hurt you, babe?” I asked urgently. I hold her at arm’s length and look her over. “Silvy groans and grabs her stomach ” No Michael, they didn’t hurt me. But there is another problem.” she
said. “What is it?” I asked. ” I’m in labor,” Silvy grunted before taking slowly deep breaths.
