I sat at home reading over a car transition manual when the phone rang, "hello?"

"Hello is this Mr. Alejandro Fuentes?"

"Yes this is he, who is this?"

"Mr. Fuentes this is Max Lomax from lakeshore hospital, I'm afraid that your wife has

been shot" is this a prank? "My-my wife?"

"Yes sir isn't Brittany Fuentes your wife?" I felt like I had been hit in the stomach, "yes

she is, what happened?" screw it, "I'll be right there" I hung up and flew out the door

dashing on Julio to the hospital like a mad man; running into the hospital I went up to the

front desk, "where is Brittany Fuentes?" she looked up at me, "are you a relative of

her's?"

"She's my wife" I spoke quickly not wanting to waste time, "well…." She typed away on

her computer, damn I wish she would hurry it up, she popped her gum she was trying my

nerves, "Well sir, your going to have to go to the third floor" I was gone. Going up to the

third floor I went to another desk, "the lady in the lobby sent me here, I am inquiring

about my wife Brittany Fuentes" she nodded, "this way" I expected her to lead me to her

room but instead I ended up in a waiting room, "wait here" she said, I waited and waited

finally a man in a white lab coat came in, "are you Mr. Fuentes?" I nodded, "I'm Dr.

Goldfield, now lets talk" he sat down across from me, "Now, your wife was caught in a

drive by shooting" yes, yes doc I am very well aware she was shot where, how many

times and is it fatal is all I want to know, "she was shot twice; once in her stomach and

once in the right side of her chest thankfully no major organs were hit but that don't mean

she is home free yet" hmmmm, "Is she going to live?" Dr. Goldfinger or whatever took in

a breath, "were doing everything we can." Don't beat around the bush, "still didn't

answer my question; is she going to be okay?"

"Were not sure Mr. Fuentes, I'm very sorry" he walked away, my face fell in my hands, I

cried for the first time in a while, my fiancé's fate was in the air and there was nothing to

be done. If she didn't live I don't know how I would go on.
