Chapter Four
"Well?" Jane asked the doctor three weeks later.
"The placenta seems to have attached itself back to the uterine wall you should be fine, but I wonder what could have been the cause perhaps all the movement you did. I think to ensure that a healthy birth you should remain here until it is time to either enduce labor or you go into labor naturally.
"And if I decide to leave?"
"There's a chance you could end up right back here or worse stuck where ever you were before a doctor who is not competent in his medical studies." Jane comtemplated her options. She wanted out of this damn bed and she wanted the baby out of her body. She felt fat, tired, and extremely moody, which she was in her opinion. They'd even had a Rabbi in the room to help pray for her. It didn't matter that she was only jewish by blood.
"I'd rather not take the chance of incompetence, incompetence makes me angry."
"And anger is a form of stress, so let me inform the staff you'll be here for another six weeks." Jane only nodded and sat back a hand on her stomach. The doctor shut the door and she looked out the window and than down her large stomach.
"You better be worth this extreme boredom." Jane said. The baby kicked as if in response and she smiled. Her happiness was short lived as the door opened to reveal Father. She frowned as one of her hand's fell to her side where her gun lay as if she would sit here with no protection at all.
"How did you find me?" Jane asked.
"A little italian birdy told me when we caught her on a plane to China." said Father closing the door. She noted the knife in his hand, if he threw it she could duck and the other option was not to let him get to close until something else gave her an opening to get out of the room.
"What did you do to John?" Jane asked. She had wondered why she hadn't heard from him in so long.
"Nothing yet unfortunately he gave us the slip in the airport." Father said.
"Well what do you want?" Jane asked she knew what he was here for.
"Well to kill you and a of course the little John growing in your belly or is it a little Jane?" She didn't answer so he continued," I was quite surpised when the Italian brat informed me you were pregnant."
"What did you do to her?" Jane asked bying time, the nurse's button was right next to her gun and she pressed it.
"I disposed of her once she had served her purpose. " Father said as Jane gripped her gun, he wouldn't take out her and her baby without a fight. He advanced towards her and she pulled out her gun.
"Back up." She said. He laughed.
"Jane if you do that you'll blow up the place." He said pointing to the oxygen in the room.
"Its not turned on." Jane replied.
"Do you really want to take that chance and don't forget about the countless others inside hospital who use oxygen I'm sure we won't be the only ones to go."
"Oh don't try and put a concious on me, I am an assassin for god's sake." Jane said.
"Yes, but your pregnant that makes all the difference." said Father taking a step closer.
"If you value your life you'll leave the room." Jane said. She really couldn't afford to kill him here or she'd actually be put in jail, and she didn't ever plan on that happening. Murder was murder even if it was your job and goverment funded. They would not protect her. She could rememeber countless times the goverment hadn't stepped in to save one of their assassins and than anything they revealed about the rest of us ended in a swift death for them first time out or going inside the courthouse. Now everyone was aware that there were professional assassins out there, but the government denied it completely giving fake proof.
"I stopped valuing my life when you destroyed my company."
"You Stella's company." Jane said as the door opened slowly and quietly. The nurse screamed when she saw Father's knife.
"Security!" She yelled. Father knifed her in the gut, and proceeded to throw his knife at Jane. Jane moved but fell off the bed in the process on her back. Jane shot him in the side as pain shot through her body. He fell to the ground in serious pain.
"I really gotta work on my aim." said Jane as she stood up despite her pain she had to get out of here and check her self elsewhere. Jane quickly unhooked herself from the monitor's. She slipped on her shoes and grabbed her jacket to hide her gun.
"Where do you think your going?" Security asked. It was Rick. He grinned at her in a egotistical and sinister way. John was right about him he was an even bigger asshole, it just radiated off of him.
"Don't shoot or I will fire the one at your belly." said Rick. Jane could feel it already on her stomach. Jane had to admit he was quick as she released her gun and Rick pulled her out into the hall. All the nurses were dead, their throats cut by his partner even a few doctors. Since all the doors were closed none of the paitents would notice until they came out.
"Get Father he's been shot, so save the doctor." said Rick seeing his partner about to finish off the last doctor. He took the doctor into the room and Jane was led to the elevator where a wheelchair waited. He tied her arms and kept the gun to her stomach to ensure she wouldn't move. He made her sit in the wheelchair and put her coat over her hands, anybody entering the elevator on the way down didn't notice, but merely congradulated them. They went through an obvious crowd of visitors that were assasins in disguise she knew they were precautions against John.
"Any time now if your still alive." Jane said. She could feel her whole body going numb against the pain that was still there from her fall. She faught to keep a straight face and could only hope the fall wasn't to bad, but she was fragile and so was her kid in this condition. He put her into a taxi of all things.
"If your going to tie me up and kidnap me at least put my damn seatbelt on." Jane said.
"You have a smart mouth for someone whose about to die." said Rick, but he put it on her anyway. He got in front and drove away calm and cool. Nobody would have suspected a thing. They would have just thought that he was a cab driver and this was how he got his wife home. As they drove a long and it looked like nothing was likely to happen the tires burst and the car went rolling. Cars smashed into it from every which way before it stopped.
