A/N: What's up CAM fans its me SDR back with another update. Now I know you're all dying to see what happens to David so without further wait lets go
Dangerous Games Part 2
Carly burst through the emergency room doors of the hospital in a frantic state. Upon hearing receiving the call from Sam that David had been shot. She hopped on her motorcycle and sped over to the hospital. Not caring how many laws she broke in the process.
" I'm looking for David Brown!," she asked the nurse.
"I'm sorry mam but we can't give that information out unless you're family," the nurse said.
Carly in no mood to be told no grabbed the young nurse by her collar. "Look I am carrying his child! Now you tell me where the hell he is!"
"Cupcake!," came voice from behind her.
"Sam oh Sam!," she said wrapping her arms around her wife and kissing her forehead. "Baby what happened?"
Sam stilled her resolve not to cry. As she gave a sniff to hold back her tears. "We were on the second floor and we didn't see the guy. Then I guess Mon saw him in a reflection and pushed me out of the way. And then and then …," she said breaking down into tears "Its my fault….if I had let him go back for that damn knife!"
"Sam you didn't know this was gonna happen ok its not your fault," Carly said comforting her wife. Trying to be the stronger of the two. But inside she was just as broken up if not more so. David was always so protective , wise and strong. And at his very core as gentle and as loving as lamb. His pride and life as a gangster had given him reputation for being quick tempered and violent. Which at a lot of times he was but beneath that layer was someone who loved life and fun and family. And to loose that would devastate her and their entire family. It was then she realized that she and Sam weren't the only ones suffering at the moment. "Come on lets go sit with Frankie."
Carly and Sam walked over to a distraught Frankie. The young African American and Brazilian was physically shaking back and fourth in her chair crying. As Katie and Miko tried to comfort her as best they could. Carly being ever sympathetic. "Baby doll?" Carly said getting the girl's attention.
"I'll kill him….. My poppi dies I'll find that bastard and I'll kill him myself," Frankie said through her angry sad tears.
"That makes two of us," Sam said her voice seething with anger.
"Guys Dave doesn't need us to be plotting revenge right now he needs us to be strong," Carly said. But in all actuality her thoughts were along the same lines. Carly had become fiercely protective over her family. She knew that she'd kill for them. And that if David died she knew that his killer would ha have to pay with his life. But for now she pushed those thoughts aside in favor of sending positive energy and silent prayers David's way.
"You call Mon's folks?," Sam asked Carly as she sat down in a chair next to Katie.
"Yeah your uncle Buzz said they'd be here as soon as they could," Carly said sitting next to her girlfriend. "I called Mel to she said she'd catch the next flight out."
"That's good," Katie said. "So what do we do now?," asked the saddened red head.
"Now Red now we wait," Sam said grabbing Carly's hand for strength. "We wait and we pray."
An hour or so later their had been no report on David's condition. A million thoughts went through the minds of the girls . The main one being the what ifs. What if David died? What if he slipped into a vegetative state and never recovered. Then as if an answered prayer a man possibly in his early forties walked out into the waiting room.
After scanning the room he settled on where he saw the girls in bullet proof vest and determined they were the ones he was looking for. "Excuse me did you come in with the gun shot victim?" he asked.
"David! his name David and he's my cousin," Sam said as they all stood up to greet the doctor.
Carly clinched Sam's hand tightly and placed her free one on Frankie's shoulder. "Give it to us straight doc is he going to make it?"
"He took eight shots at point blank range. The vest only caught one. He was hit in the abdomen chest and left shoulder," The doctor said filling the girls with dread. "But lucky for him his vest slowed the bullets enough that didn't hit any vital organs but it one hit his appendix and we had to remove it and we also had to repair his rotator cup."
"So he made it he's going to be ok?," Carly asked with optimistic hope.
"Well yes and no," The doctor said sadly.
"What do you mean yes and no doc is my cousin going to live are isn't he?," Sam asked her anger starting to rise once more.
"He lost a lot of blood. We had to give him two transfusions," the doctor explained. "He's stable but in a light coma."
"When will he wake up?," Frankie asked speaking for what seemed like the first time. Her tone conveying all her sadness.
"His brain is giving off strong waves and his heart is strong and he is breathing on his own but we have him on oxygen to save his strength. So could be tonight , tomorrow or a week from now. Its up to him," the doctor said. But
A few tense moments passed. The waiting room seemed to fade into nothing at the crushing news. David had survived the shooting but his over all survival now depended on his will to live. The only thing they could do now is hope that his will was as strong as it always had been.
"Can we see him?," Carly asked.
"Yes but only two at a time," the doctor said.
"Baby doll," Carly said as a signal that she could be the first to see her boyfriend.
"No, no I can't see him like that right now Sammie Carly you go please ," Frankie said once again breaking down into tears.
Sam looked at Carly and sighed. "C'mon lets go cupcake," she said as they began to follow the doctor
The walk into the intensive care unit seemed to take million years to Carly and Sam. The sterile medicine like smell filling their nostrils adding to their anger and sadness . When they finally reached David's room they stared at the door as if were the gates of hell. The doctor then opened the door.
"Oh God," Carly said upon seeing David in the hospital bed. He had an I.V. in each arm an oxgen tube in his nose and a heart monitor attached to his finger letting his heart rate print out on a small monitor at the side of his bed. He looked near death. A sight that truly scared both girls.
"Can hear us?," Sam asked the doctor.
"Yes he can," the doctor said
"Doc could you?," Carly asked requesting that they be alone.
"Of course," the doctor said leaving Carly and Sam alone in the room .
Carly and Sam starred silently at him as he lay there motionless wondering. Was he in pain? If so could he feel it? Did he even know he was in the hospital? A thousand thoughts and a thousand scenarios ran through their heads all winding up at the same place would he pull through.
"What should we tell him Sam?," Carly asked. She then notice Sam's hand was no longer holding hers. "Sam?"
Carly looked to her side and saw that Sam had left her standing there. Thinking on what she knew about her wife. Carly sprinted out of the room through the hall into the waiting room there she saw Miko and Katie.
"Where'd they go!," Carly asked the two of them.
"Outside I guess Sam ran through and grabbed Frankie," Miko said.
"What and you two didn't stop them!," Carly yelled growing furious at her two friends.
"Relax Carls I got to the keys to the Yukon and Dave's truck in my boot," Katie said.
"Red you idiot when have Baby doll or Sam ever needed keys to get into and start a car," Carly then thought of something and started to feel around in her pockets. "Fuck!," she cursed. "Sam picked my pockets come on lets get outside maybe we can catch them.
The three girls raced outside to find Carly's motorcycle and David's pick up gone and the door to the to the Yukon open. Knowing where the other two girls went Carly told Katie to stay and wait for David's parents. While she and Carly went to the office.
Thirty minutes later Carly and Miko burst into the office and immediately went to the locker room where they saw Sam and Frankie loading clips with bullets.
"What the hell do you think you're doing !," Carly screamed as she saw place a loaded magazine into a gun that she noticed was David's Desert Eagle.
"I'm going to get our bounty what does it look like," Sam said Chambering a bullet as she cock the gun.
"It looks like you're going on a revenge mission," Carly said she then saw the gleam one the bullets in the magazine that Frankie was loading into her gun . "Live rounds ! you're using live rounds!"
"Yep," Sam simply as she placed a spare clip into her belt.
"Sam no don't this!," Carly said on the verge of tears pleading with her wife not to go through with her plan .
"What do you expect me to do!," Sam yelled as jumped to her feet to secure her bullet proof vest. "This guy put Dave in the hospital!"
"And you're answer is to end up in a bed next to him!," Carly yelled.
"If I have to yes I will!," Sam said continuing to be stubborn as she began moving towards the door way. Only to have Carly jump in her way. "Move Carly," Sam said in a stern voice.
"No," Carly said her voice coming out in a angry sad growl as she stretched her arms across the door frame.
" Carly don't do this you know you can't stop me," Sam said her rage blinding her a bit. "Carly baby don't make move you."
"Sam I want you to think about our child that's growing inside and think of the one that we've lost. And if you honestly still feel what you're about to do is right move me," Carly said hoping just hoping she could brake through Sam's rage.
Sam sighed and lowered her head she then picked up Carly and moved her out of the way. "C'mon doll lets go," she said as she and Frankie left the office the next sound the girls herd was the sound of David's truck screeching off.
"Sorry Carls," Miko said seeing the tears in Carly's eyes.
"Just come with me," Carly said as she walked towards the backdoor of the office. Carly then led Miko to the wide storage shed behind the office. Miko had seen the shed but had been told that its was where David stored stuff that he didn't have room for.
Carly quickly worked in the combination to pad lock and opened the door. Inside the shed was David's 69 Chevy Chevelle from his days in Seattle. David had kept the convertible that sat proudly on twenty four inch rims in perfect running condition. Carly quickly felt under the right wheel well finding the magnetic case that held the keys to the car. She then opened the trunk and pulled up the lining and pulled out the MAC-11 that David always kept hidden and cleaned. Loaded it and handed it and the keys to Miko.
"You remember the cosigners address, right?," Carly asked as she pushed Miko into the drivers seat.
"Yeah," Miko said fastening her seat belt.
"Good go there you'll catch up with Sam and Frankie ," Carly said as she slammed the car door.
"How do you know that?," Miko asked staring the engine.
"Cause I know Sam now go!" Carly said.
Carly arrived hospital to find Katie and a bronze colored white man in his early fifties with graying black tucked under a University Of South Carolina trucker cap asleep in the waiting room. She knew the to be David's stepfather and Sam's Uncle and her mom's older brother Robert "Buzz" Puckett. Carly then figured that David's mother must be in the room with him. Figuring this Carly crept back to the ICU and into David's room. Their she saw an older black woman with a small afro sitting in a chair.
"Mrs. Brown," Carly said placing a hand on the woman's shoulder.
"I told you to call me auntie La , Carly," Laurette said turning back to look at the young woman. "You're carrying my grandbaby you can at least call me Auntie not Mrs. Brown," she said. Laurette Brown was David's mother a strong woman who like her son had incredible capacity for love. At one point she was married to David's birth father. And apon the divorce she kept her married last name of Brown so that she and her Son would have the last name. two years later when David was four she met fell in love with and married David's stepfather Buzz . It was also the year David met Sam and a bond was formed. An unbreakable bond of family.
"I'm sorry Auntie ," Carly said.
"Its ok baby, where's Sammie?," Laurette asked wondering wear her nice was.
"She's off being stupid," Carly said once again feeling herself on the verge of crying.
"Hmm she after who shot my boy?," Laurette said getting a nod from Carly . "and Baby Doll went her?," she asked again only getting a nod from Carly "Well that doesn't surprise me."
"How are you so calm about this?," Carly asked her tear's once again beginning to flow.
"Because I put it in Gods hands Carly and I know he'll pull my boy through," Laurette said. Her word strengthening Carly's faith as well as her own.
"But still Sam knows better, Knows that hunting this guy down isn't going to make David wake up faster!," Carly said now crying. "I know what its like to want revenge I wanted when Sam went to prison and when Nat was killed I wanted it more. Revenge only leads to revenge nothing good can come from that."
Laurette sighed when she listened to Carly lament about her thoughts on the situation. "Its not just revenge with David and Sam its about family and honor," she said.
"What?," Carly asked curious and confused.
"Did you ever see the scare on Mon's left arm," Laurette getting a head shake of no from Carly. "Well I'm not surprised his tattoos are probably covering it. Anyway a long time ago when Sam and David were maybe six seven years old. Sam had come to visit. One day while Mon was at school it was the last week before summer vacation she went to the park a mile or two up the road from the house. Buzz and I didn't think much off it all of David's cousin on my side used to do it and Sam being from Seattle we knew she could handle it. But some older boys jumped her I don't no what she did or What they were trying to do to her . But David saw from bus and opened the emergency door to the bus and jumped out and fought those boys off with his book bag and whatever he can find and took more than a few good licks too. But that's not all Sam had got beat so bad she could barley move and Mon carried her all the way to our house. He didn't even know there was a hunk of an old bottle in his arm. My boy saved Sam's life that day and never left her side at the hospital. It was also the day they made a blood pact to always have each others back."
"So that's what you mean by honor," Carly said . "But Sam and David have each repaid that debt a thousand times over," she said referencing their life as gang and David and Sam's lives in general.
"Carly the only person I've seen Sam love more than her mother and Mel is David," Laurette said with a sigh, "and the only person I've seen her love more than David is you."
Carly hung her head and sighed. She had seen the connection between the two. A connection not unlike the one she shared with Sam. Yet completely different as Sam and David weren't in love with each other. But their connection was deeper than cousins are brother and sister . It was like the two were two parts of the same person. With Sam being a bit more of the wilder side. And with this knowledge she knew why Sam was doing what she was doing.
"Auntie can I be alone with him?," Carly asked.
"Ok," Laurette said as she got up and left the room.
Once the older woman was gone Carly walked over to David's bed and kissed him on the forehead. "You better wake up soon."
In the early predawn hours Sam crept into David's room to find Carly asleep in a chair by his bedside. She bent down and gently kissed the brunette and brushed her hair from her face. Sam always loved the way Carly looked in her sleep. She said it was what the child of an angel and a fairy must look like when she sleeps.
"Did you catch him," Carly asked startling the blonde a bit.
"Yeah cupcake I did," Sam said in a defeated voice.
"Good," Carly said looking up into Sam's saddened blue eyes. She then stood up and kissed Sam deeply on the lips. " I'm going to leave you two alone," Carly said sensing Sam's need to be alone with her cousin.
Sam walked around room for a few moments. Before finally all the anger and sadness hit her and she fell to her knees crying at David's hand and grasped his hand in a death grip.
"Why does it always have to be you huh!, Why do you always have to save my life!," Sam screamed blaming herself and David for what happened. "Why do you have to be a hero! Why do you have to care about people all the time! Why can't you just be selfish! Why didn't you just let him shoot me!," Sam balled her face turning red from tears. "You better wake up ! You hear me David Armond Brown you wake up! Please I love big man I need you to wake up. Just please wake up please, please," she said resting her face against David's arm
"Sam," came a weak rasp from the bed making Sam look up. "Sam," the voice said again.
"Dave?" Sam said hopefully sucking back tears. "Dave man if you're awake you better say something! Say something!"
"Sam quit screaming I already I got shoot for you I don't need a headache too," David said weakly his eyes opening .
"You're awake!," Sam screeched with joy as she hugged David.
"Ahh ! gunshot wounds! Gunshot wounds!," David said feeling the intense pain burn through his body.
"Sorry its just you're back!," Sam said her tears now tears of joy.
"I know its good to be back," David said his voice still weak. "Now go get the doctor and tell everybody I'm awake ok," he said.
"You got it cuzo!," Sam said ecstatic to see her cousin awake again.
"Oh and Sam, about what you said," David said making the blonde girl stop and turn. "I love you too."
