I am back, baby! (I just can't pull that off, can I?) Well, anyways, I bring to you the next chappie. Please, oh please, enjoy! :)
Joey had to sit on the ground. He wrapped his arms around his stomach where Charlie had kicked him earlier. Then one of the cops walked towards him. "So did they hurt you in there? Should we take you to the hospital?" The cop asked.
Joey just shook his head, but he remained silent.
Chandler walked back over to him. He had gone to find some water in the building. "Here you go," he said, handing him the plastic cup. "Drink this." He glared at the cop. "You people almost got him killed! Charlie threatened to kill him if he was followed!"
Joey listened to them, then shakenly took a drink of the water.
The cop sighed in irritation. "You could have gotten yourself killed too! You need to learn to let the cops do their jobs!" He went back towards the others.
Chandler shook his head. "Come on, Joe. Can you walk?" He asked, then offered him a hand.
Joey hesitated for a moment, before taking it. "Thanks," he murmured after Chandler had helped him up. He decided to try and walk on his own, taking a shaky step forward. He almost fell.
Chandler wrapped an arm around his shoulder. "Come on, and I'll help. Let's get to the hospital."
Monica lightly shook him. "Ross? Are you okay?" She asked softly. "Should I get the doctor?" She glanced over at Rachel, then back at him.
Ross was glancing at them in confusion, as Callie, Phoebe, and Mike walked over to join them.
Rachel slid her hand down the side of his face. "Honey?" She asked softly. "I'm afraid I have bad news." She wasn't going to tell him yet, but he needed to know. Her lip quivered as she thought about their unborn baby. "I'm afraid that.. that our baby didn't make it.."
Ross glanced at her, his eyes wide. "Wh.. what?" He asked softly. He glanced at her in confusion. "We.. we have.. I mean.. we had a.. a baby?"
Rachel exchanged a glance with Monica. "Yah, we had a baby.." she confirmed. "Do you not remember that?" She twined her fingers with his.
Ross started to say something else, when the door opened. Chandler led Joey into the room.
Callie hurried over and tackled Joey in a hug, almost knocking him down. "I was so worried about you!" She said. "Are you alright? Should I get a doctor?" She stepped back to look him over. "Tell me the truth, are you okay?"
Chandler walked over to Monica, then gave her a hug. "Told you I would find him," he smiled.
Joey held up his hand for her to be quiet. "I'm fine, honest."
Callie took a deep breath. "No your not. Look at yourself. Your holding your stomach, and you can barely stand on your own. So come on, lets get you checked out by a doctor." She grabbed his hand, then pulled him out of the room.
Rachel watched them leave, then glanced back at Ross. "Do you not remember me getting pregnant and how excited we were to have a baby?" She asked softly.
Ross glanced at her, then shook his head. "I'm sorry, but I'm having a hard time remembering that.."
Rachel took a deep breath. She was afraid to ask, but she figured that she needed to know the answer. "So, uhm, Ross.. do you happen to remember my name?" She asked softly, trying not to panic. His silence was the only answer she needed. She sighed, then touched the bandage around his head, feeling the tears slowly start to slide down her face.
Callie stood beside the hospital bed, while the doctor did a quick X-ray. She had stood a little away to give the doctor enough room to work. She watched from the window as the doctor approached her.
The doctor sighed softly. "Looks like he's got a few bruised ribs, so I'm going to prescribe something that may help him with the pain."
She nodded absentmindedly at him, her eyes drifting over to the bed where Joey was laying, just staring up at the ceiling. She glanced back towards the doctor and sighed. "So he will be alright?"
The doctor nodded. "He should be. But he needs to take it easy for the next few days."
Charlie was pushed back into his cell, and he watched as the door was shut and locked behind him. The cop murmured something, then walked off. Charlie walked up to the bars, then wrapped his fingers around them.
He listened to the other inmates talking, then walked over to sit on the hard bed to plot. He would escape again, and then they would be sorry! Everybody would be sorry for ever locking him up! He clenched his fist. He only took out Kale so he wouldn't stop him from killing Joey, but he was stopped by Chandler of all people! He shook his head in irritation. He would get out of here, and that was a promise!
Welp, that's all folks! Anyways, this answered the question that Mondler had asked me in the comments, about why he killed Kale. But, I believe I have yet to confirm if Kale is really dead yet or not. He was shot, sure, but I didn't say where he was shot at. So there's something to ponder on while you wait for a new chapter. :) Toodles!
Tall, Out!
