Life Goes On

Chapter One

Early Saturday, February 3rd 2007, middle of the night

"Did you hear that?" Maxie Jones asked Cooper Barrett.

His blood was racing so fast from this stressful night- during most of which he was sure he was about to die any second- that he could barely hear her talking let alone whatever noise she just thought she had heard.

"What?" he asked

"I think the doors just unlocked." She jumped off the floor of the vault and ran over to try to open it. "Come on. I'll help you get out of here."

"What's in it for you?"

"You'll owe me one. And I always collect."

Just then an explosion went off and they were thrown backwards from the blast. Both their bodies hit the wall hard and slid down to the floor.

XXXXXXXXXX

"NOOOOO!" Georgie Jones yelled as she saw flames burst out of the front doors of the hotel. The glass was blown out of the doors.

Surrounding her were other people who had loved ones inside the hotel and plenty of cops and ambulances.

The man next to her, who she had gotten to know in the long hours they stood out in the cold, wrapped his arms around her when she tried to run toward the building to rescue her sister and cousins. The cops moved in, dressed in riot gear, screaming orders to get back because the scene wasn't safe.

"Get off me!" Georgie yelled at the near stranger who was holding her snug in his arms. "I have to help my sister and cousin."

"By getting yourself killed? That ain't gonna help nobody. Let the cops do their jobs. Its what they get paid for."

"How can you be so calm?" She finally broke away from him, panting in frustration and pain. "I thought your sister is in there?"

"My sister don't even know my name. And even if she did there is nothing I can do but stand here and wait, just like you, cause neither of us got an Uzi to take out all those gunmen in there. Now, come on, we gotta get back some. Its not safe here." He grabbed her hand and dragged her across the street.

Georgie had felt comforted by this sexy young former solider earlier in the night but now she just found him annoying as all hell. He seemed cold and detached from the reality that his sister, her sister, and her cousin, not to mention many other good people could have just lost there lives.

Right now Georgie was too numb to cry and still in total shock. She let the man drag her to safer ground but she didn't like the idea of taking even one step away from her family when they needed her.

"FAIR LULU!" Spinelli cried as the room filled with smoke. Beams lay everywhere. It was pitch black in the lobby now. He had fallen down behind the desk when the bomb went off. The last he saw Lulu she was laying on the couch, in labor at only seven months, panting and crying.

He had to get to his friend. They had only known each other a few months but she was a good person, important to Stone Cold, and she made Spinelli feel like a brother to her. Like he had a family now in all the Spencers and Jason Morgan.

For a screwed up, formerly lonely, loner stoner hacker that meant everything. He would give his life to save Lulu and her baby.

"AHHHH!" Her scream cut through the chaotic room. "Someone help me! My baby is coming! OH MY GOD, AHHHHHHH!"

"Fear not, Fair Lulu, the Jackal will save you and your Innocent One," Spinelli murmured as he started to make his way through the wreckage.

XXXXXXXXXX

Dillon was running through the hotel. All the lights had went out. He had managed to sneak around to the side of the building, break a window, and climb inside after total chaos broke out when a bomb went off. Going through the front door was not possible. Not only was there a sniper from this team of lunatics that had taken over the hotel but the cops had barricades up and they were keeping people back.

But he couldn't stay back. His pregnant fiancee was in this building and he had to get to her. If Lulu was still alive then Dillon would do whatever it took to get her free of this building and this horrible nightmare she had been caught in tonight when she tried to attend a charity fundraiser.

As he rushed toward the lobby- that was on fire the last time he saw it- he wasn't scared for himself. His life didn't mean half as much as hers and their daughter. If he lost her...them...what would be his reason to go on living?

XXXXXXXXXXXXX

Serena was knocked in the head by something that fell during the explosion. She passed out for just a minute. When she woke up, laying next to the couch where she had been holding Lulu's hand, she started coughing.

Stuck in the dark, injured, in a burning building with cops running around shooting at gunmen and hostages screaming in fear and pain, she groaned. She had the worse luck seriously.

Why couldn't things ever go right in her life?

Struggling to sit up, a wave of nausea took her over and she choked it back. "Lulu. LULU! Are you okay?"

"Serena? The baby is coming! I got to get out of here. OH MY GOD! It hurts so bad!"

Serena crawled through the wreckage and found Lulu. "I'm here. Its almost over. Just don't push!"

"She's coming! I think her head is already out!"

"HELP!" Serena yelled "We need a doctor! She's having a baby RIGHT NOW!"

"Fair Lulu!"

"Spinelli," she panted out his name.

Suddenly emergency lights went on. The room was an utter disaster. On the ground dead were several of the gunmen and also some of the hostages. Other people were injured. Cops were there with their guns raised telling everyone to stay down.

Serena moved to sit on the couch. Ignoring her own bleeding head she tried to help Lulu. Looking down she said "Oh my God, there she is."

"I have to push!" Lulu grabbed Spinelli's hand and then she started pushing.

Meanwhile the cops secured the scene so that the paramedics could rush in. By the time they did Serena was holding the baby in her arms. Dillon came running into the room and took in the scene, tears in his eyes and worry sketched on his face.

Lulu asked "Why isn't she crying?"

Spinelli moved over to the bloody and wet baby and gently cleared its mouth. The child let out a loud wail. Dillon jumped over broken beams and pieces of the blown out walls and got to Lulu and his child.

"Oh my God, are you all right? Is the baby all right? Oh my God!" he cried, running his hands through his hair. "Someone help us! My fiancee just had a baby!"

Thank God paramedics were allowed into the building by the cops just then and they were able to treat Lulu and the baby. It had been a night from hell but it was finally over.
