"Please go away!", she was shooting out her window at the Vice Kings.
Why couldn't they just leave her alone? She needed to get Henry to the hospital and quickly before the worst happened.
No!
She would make it in time and Henry would be healthy in no time, if only she could get there without being chased by rival gangs, why didn't she use her common sense and just go back home after Julius had saved her? It was question she would ponder for the rest of her life.
She sped through traffic without a second thought about traffic, the police, and gangs. All she cared for was Henry getting to the hospital in time before he bled to death. She couldn't live without him, she couldn't think of life without him in it, and she wasn't going to have a life if Henry didn't survive this.
In an attempt to keep herself from crying she bit her lips and tried to think positively about the whole situation. Henry definitely loved her that wasn't certain and he would do anything to protect her from anyone or anything. She smiled at the thought of him freaking out when she told him about the Saints and how he wanted to take her away from Stillwater because of it.
At that thought she couldn't keep her tears in any longer.
She fucked up.
Henry wanted her to meet his parents? Why did she freak out? He made it clear where he wanted the relationship to head when they started dating.
Parents, marriage, kids...
She looked back at him again.
After this she was done, she would do anything and everything Henry wanted after all this craziness was over and done with it!
Meet his parents, marry him, and have all the children he wanted her to have.
She arrived at the hospital and immediately the nurses and doctors rushed him into the emergency room where she wasn't allowed.
She rushed to bathroom soon afterwards and cried her heart out.
An hour later she heard her phone ringing.
It was Dex.
What should she do?
Of course she shouldn't answer, she just talked herself into running away from this when Henry was all better but what if he didn't make it?
Would she really end her life or have revenge?
She would definitely blame the Vice Kings for everything if Henry died. The shooting, slowing her down with the chase, and being the reason she got caught up in a gang to begin with. Perhaps Julius was right and the Saints were the only gang willing to clean this place up and make it a safe place for everyone.
"Hello", she clenched her eyes shut, was this another mistake?
She needed to get her mind off all the possible things that could wrong with Henry.
She needed a release.
With that thought she cleaned herself up and left to meet Dex at the Church.
"Oh,hey, didn't hear you come in. Check this out.
Dex turned around towards the wall with pictures and maps all depicting various information about the Carnales.
"The Carnales were the first organized gang in the city. The way Julius tells it, they owned the whole damn town until Benjamin King stepped up against them. Tell ya what though, I aint worried about their history so much as I am the fact that A: the Lopez brothers are crazy muthafuckas, and B: Victor, their enforcer, survived a dozen VK drive-bys.", he turned around to look at her.
She had her poker face on, there was no way she could let anyone know that she was vulnerable right now.
"That's impossible, a dozen? Sounds like someone is exaggerating", she crossed her arms.
"Sounds pretty bad right? Now add in that the Carnales are backed by the largest drug cartel in the world, and I think you'll understand why we're gonna play this safe instead of pullin' a Johnny.", Dex rubbed his hands together as he spoke.
"Of course, they appear to be the most dangerous gang out of the three. No way Johnny could pull of taking over their territories with his method. So how are we going to screw with them?", she swallowed the lump in her throat.
How was Henry doing?
"We cut off their income first, then we go for Hector. Sound good?"
"Yes, what would you like me to do?", her heart was pounding.
