LOS ANGELES

Jennifer Hart was excited and a bit exhausted, she'd been working for days on a story that could potentially expose fraud within the Government for days, she'd barely slept and eaten to get her interview researched and written. And meeting with a secret informant to get documents, documents that proved There were giant kickbacks and pay-offs. Things that had the potential to bring an entire government to its knees.

All she wanted to do was go home, get out of her business suit and ditch her heels, slip into a tub with a giant bottle of champagne and her husband. Poor Jonathan, she'd been so busy putting together her story, that he was beginning to feel neglected and add that to the fact, it had been days since they made love, she was beginning to feel her own ache. Jennifer would make it up to him repeatedly.

Jonathan was often busy at Hart Industries but he always managed to put her first and he understand that this article, series of articles was important, that this was her job and her life but he'd also beginning to feel like a second wheel although he wouldn't say so to make her feel bad.

Jennifer had decided when this story was published, she and Jonathan would take an extended vacation, jus the two of them alone at the beach for a few days.

She was driving down the street, singing along to the radio when her phone rang, turning on the blue tooth, she called out, "Hello?"

"Hey Daisy Mae, it's Abner," Jonathan said, she could hear the smile on his face, "How are you,"

She smiled back at the road, "Tired …I'm finally headed home "

"Great, I've got one meeting left and then I'll be home, why don't you order a Pizza from Guido's and We'll have a bedroom picnic, Is Max home from Vegas yet,"

He heard her start to answer then the screeching of tires, followed by a loud bang and then silence.

"JENNIFER!" He yelled into the phone, "JENNIFER,"

There was no answer but he thought he could hear her whisper his name, "I'll be right there," He hung up the phone and rang out of the office.

At the corner of Sunset Blvd, a man with a dented Lincoln watched as a people rushed to help the woman in a now crushed violet convertible, calling on his phone, he made a simple statement, "It's done,"

Jonathan, using the latest HART cloud tracker on Jennifer's car could race to the scene. When he got there, the entire intersection was mobbed between Police, EMTs and Firefighters working to extract his whole life out of a demolished car.

Jonathan's heart stopped beating for a moment and he tried push down the vomit that had crawled up into his throat, "Oh Jennifer," He mumbled, pushing past a police officer, he ran over to the car, "Sir, you have to step back !," the car was flipped over on its side and he could see her hand out the window but the door was crushed in and the front end was bent like an accordion and there was smoke coming from the engine.

"She is my wife, I'm not leaving her!" He said turning his eyes to the Police Officer, who was trying to move him out of the way.

Grabbing Jonathan's arm, the Officer tried to pull him away but when Jonathan took a swing at him, the Officer knew that this man was not someone who could be easily intimidated.

An EMT named Brewster approached both Jonathan and the Police Officer, "We can't get into the car to check on her condition because the roof is too caved in,"

"Can't you or one of the Firefighters cut the roof off," The Police Officer, still holding onto Jonathan's arm

"No because we can't determine where her head starts and the roof is, that's the problem with these type of cars, when an accident occurs, the entire car is gone," The three of them studied the car, Jonathan wanted to rip the roof off with his bare hands. "We need to get someone into the car and determine not only Mrs. Hart's injuries"

"They've disabled the engine so it's not going to blow," The Police Officer finally let go of Jonathan's arm. "Are you positive that one of the EMT workers can get into the car,"

"No, because we're afraid with the car on its side, that with her seatbelt she can be injured even further, what we need is someone to get into the car with her and hold her still while we push the car back on its side," the EMT said

"I'll do it," Jonathan said firmly

"We can't let you! It's too dangerous," The Police Officer said

"Look, Either I do it or watch me open the door with my bare hands, it's your decision," Jonathan was adamant.

Both the EMT worker and the Police exchanged glances before nodding, "Okay let's get you in the car," Jonathan took off his jacket and noticing the back-window open, slid in carefully caution of the broken glass on the seat and leaned over to look at his wife.

Her head was on the steering wheel, her hands still gripping the wheel and he could see from the side of the driver's seat, her head was cut and one of her legs was bent, "Darling, it's me,"

She could only moan.

"It's okay, we're going to get you out of here," He was speaking quietly as he was passed blankets to wrap her up in, despite the heat he could see her shivering.

"She needs fluids, so you need to put an in a IV in her arm, can you do that?" The EMT worker handed Jonathan an IV and bag of fluids.

"Four years in the Navy, I think I can handle it," He took her arm and finding the biggest vein, he struggled to put the needle in, afraid of hurting her.

"Good, now start pumping the bag every two minutes," Jonathan did as instruct but she still wasn't responding, "Cover her head with the blanket then using your arms as a brace, but not enough to crack her ribs," Jonathan did what he was told and nearly fell over the seat as the car was up-righted and the firefighters began to cut the roof off the car.

"Darling, it won't be long now," he whispered in her ear, "We're just going to get you checked out for a bit then go home, I'll serve you dinner in bed and then it's to the beach for the weekend with lots of champagne, those chocolate covered strawberries you love and your favorite guy".

It seemed to take forever to get the roof cut off but they finally managed do but getting her legs from underneath the dashboard was difficult, her leg was broken and pinned, there was a general fear that if they did it too quickly, she might do more damage to her leg but if they didn't move fast enough, there was a chance that more damage could be done.

It was decided that Jonathan, pulling Jennifer's seat all the way back as far as he could, would allow some leeway for the Fire-fighters to pry the steering wheel up and then they could maneuver her out.

Jonathan kept whispering that she was okay, and she was still beautiful. She was his whole world and if she was gone, then his entire existence would cease as well. And when they finally lifted her from the car, he could see that her face was already black and blue, the EMT workers immediately put her onto a gurney to stabilize her.

The motion seemed to jostle her awake and she started to call for him, "Jonathan!, Help Me!"

He took her hand, "I'm right here, Darling,"

They quickly set her leg and put her into an ambulance, without a word, Jonathan climbed in beside her and before the doors were closed, spoke to the Police Officer, "I want every security camera footage sent to Hart Industries,"

The doors shut and before the EMT could race around the Ambulance, the Police Officer stopped him, "Who is that guy?!"

"Her Husband" He answered before getting to the front.

CEDARS HOSPITAL

Being the Wife of Jonathan Hart, CEO has its advantages but then again, being in a head on collision, Jennifer was immediately treated in the ER, her head stitched up and her leg plastered but the doctors were most concerned about her head injury.

Jonathan had only let go of Jennifer's hand wen she was in the X-ray machine and she'd barely said a word when they stitched up her head, but she kept rubbing her eyes with her good hand Jonathan wondered if something was wrong and she was too stunned to say anything or maybe when the EMT workers broke the wind shied, had gotten glass in her eyes

The doctor was concerned and asked to speak to Jonathan outside.

"Mr. Hart, we're concerned that your wife's head injury is serious, we need to do further testing," The doctor folded his hands, his blonde hair in his eyes.

"What sort of testing?" Jonathan was exhausted and all he wanted to do was take his wife home, they would both feel better in their own environment, they always thrived better at Willow Pond, when he'd lost his memory before, the one constant in his life was Jennifer. She even made love to him, despite him not even knowing his own name.

"We'll send her for an MRI, EKG as well as a Cat-Scan," The Doctor shifted his weight, his name tag reading, E. Nolan.

"Is it possible for me to take her home and bring her back tomorrow," Jonathan wasn't above pleading.

"I'm sorry, no, We'd like to keep her here overnight for observation," Dr. Nolan shifted his weight, "Just for tonight and if everything clears, you can take her home in the morning,"

"Can I at least stay with her tonight," Jonathan said narrowing his eyes

"I'm sorry, Hospital Policy," Dr. Nolan walked back into Jennifer's room, "Well, Mrs. Hart, I think for the moment, you should get some rest and then we'll take you down for your test,"

At that moment, Jennifer panicked and started yelling for Jonathan, "Please, No Let me go home!"

"Jennifer, Darling what's wrong?" Jonathan raced in, seeing the agitation on her face and the tears pouring out of her brown eyes , he grabbed her into a hug

"If I stay here, They'll kill me!" She cried out burying her face into his chest
