I Hope Punk Is Alright Along With Charlie And AJ And Doesn't Have To Spilt Up I Think Randy Felt Guilty And Symptomatic Towards Punk And How That Went Down Cant Wait To Read It
Congrats and please keep on reviewing!
Chapter 12-Back to Reality
As soon as Punk was shot by an unknown assailant to the FBI, he was rushed to the FBI helicopter along with AJ and Charlie to be treated at the hospital in Seattle since it was the closest location to the crash site. As they flew, AJ held Charlie on her lap while holding Punk's hand with her other hand. He was still unconscious and Dean was desperately trying to stop his bleeding. He didn't know what happened back at the cave, but he was going to find out one way or another.
Trying to help the chaotic situation in the chopper, Roman sat next to AJ and tried to check on her status. "So umm…how are you doing?" he asked her with his deep booming voice.
"How do you think I'm feeling, you guys shot my boyfriend and now you are probably going to take my son away," AJ cried as she kissed the top of Charlie's head. He was too busy looking out of the helicopter to notice what was going on around him.
"Okay let's get a couple of things straight here. First we didn't shoot your boyfriend okay. That's wasn't us and I promise you that we will find whomever did this. Secondly Charlie is not your son. His real parents died in that plane crash," Roman told her sternly. He didn't like being accused of something that he didn't commit.
AJ just looked at him and then at Charlie, "But you don't understand Mr. Reigns, Phil and I are all that Charlie has left. The whole time that we were out here, Phil and I have come to love Charlie and he even calls us mom and dad. You may not believe me, but deep down I know that his parents would be grateful that we took Charlie in and made him part of our family. Please Mr. Reigns, don't have Charlie taken away from us. We need him just as much as he needs us."
Roman looked at AJ and knew that she had a point. From what Dean had told him, the little boy in her arms had no one left and from the way he shouted 'dada' when Punk was shot, Roman knew that this little boy had already chose his new family. "Ok Ms. Mendez I'll see what I can do, but I don't know if CPS will let you keep Charlie. However considering what you have been through and the way that Charlie is attached to you, you will be in his life one way or another," Roman told her as he rubbed her back.
From the remainder of the trip, AJ was quiet and held Charlie and Punk with all that she had. She didn't want to lose her boys, because if she did then she didn't want to live anymore.
Back in the middle of the woods, Randy and his men were waiting for their ride to show up. They had managed to steal two ATV's from the FBI and had made it the road at neck brake speed. As they waited, Randy began pacing back and forth as replayed what happened back in the woods. "I can't believe that you did something that stupid Rollins!" he snapped at his younger gang member.
"Hey don't blame me for what happened Orton. Hunter wanted Punk dead and I what he told us to do. It was we either killed him now or he was going to go back to the FBI headquarters and tell them everything. Do you want to go back to prison Orton?" Rollins argued back.
"We all know that I don't want any of us to go to prison, but shooting Punk in front of the FBI was a bad mistake. Now they are going to realize that someone else was in the woods with them and they are going to be searching for that person. Not to mention that but we searched the campsite and the plane when the FBI wasn't looking and we didn't find the USB drive. That means that Punk still has it and more than likely the FBI will get their hands on it. We should have planned things out and got to Punk first so we could have searched him and possibly killed him before the FBI got there," Randy sighed. He was still sad that he had to witness his friend possibly die this way.
Cesaro and Batista looked at each other and knew that Randy had a point. Since Punk was now in the hands of the FBI, their lives were in jeopardy now that the FBI possibly had the USB drive and that Hunter would for sure kill them. "So what are we going to do now?" Cesaro asked instantly becoming nervous.
Randy knew that he had to come up with a new plan quick before they were all dead, but luckily he was quick on his feet. "Alright here is what we are going to do, I want you three to go back to Hunter and tell them that Punk is possibly dead and that I went to go make sure that it was true. If he asks about the drive, just tell him that I am retrieving it and I'll be back as possible, got it?"
The guys nodded and as their ride approached, Randy set the three men back to Portland while he took off towards a camping ground that was a few miles away. Hopefully there was a car there that he could take, so he could get his ass to Seattle. So many things were riding on it.
Back at the hospital in Seattle, Punk was immediately rushed to the emergency room to be treated for his gunshot wound. So far it wasn't looking good, because Punk had lost a lot of blood and they were starting to lose his pulse when they landed. Everyone hoped that they would make it on account that Punk's testimony on the plane crash and Evolution. However no one was more worried than AJ. She wanted Punk to survive so that he could come back to her and Charlie and they could escape the FBI and be together forever.
Once Punk was taken away, several doctors and nurses took AJ and Charlie to a different part of the hospital to get checked out. However as a nurse tried to take Charlie for AJ's arms, he began to scream and cry for AJ to the point where AJ began to scream at the nurses to give him back. Eventually everyone had to settle for having Charlie sit with AJ while they checked over him.
With everyone getting a surprisingly good bill of health, AJ and Charlie were free to go sit in the waiting room to await word on Punk's condition. As they sat there, AJ had a feeling that CPS was coming to take Charlie away, so she decided to make the most of her time with son. "Alright little guy, I think we need to talk," AJ told him as Charlie began to babble away. "So as you know your dada and I aren't your real parents, but that doesn't mean that we love you any less. You are our special little boy and we love you with all of our hearts. They only thing is that since we aren't your real parents, you might get taken away from us but I promise that your dada and I fight to get you back. I promise Charlie that we will be together again."
Just as she finished telling Charlie how much she loved him, Dean came over to her and sat down with another lady by his side, "Hello Ms. Mendez, I would like to introduce you to Mrs. Eve Torres, she from CPS and is here to take Charlie for a while."
"Look I know that you have been through a lot Ms. Mendez and that you have become attached to Charlie here, but he needs to come with me for a while. We need to do an investigation on his family to see where he should be placed," Eve told her with a lot of care and concern in her voice. She could already see that Charlie was already attached to the young woman and was afraid that taking him away would scar the young boy.
"But he should be placed with me. I mean I practically raised him and took care of him since the plane crash. Phil and I taught him how to talk, walk, and even play patty cake. I know that you guys might not see if considering that we have only known Charlie for 18 days, but he loves us and we love him. He will always be our son and we will always be his parents," AJ said as she looked at Charlie with tears pouring down her face.
Eve just gave AJ a sad smile and said, "That may be the case Ms. Mendez, but I'm afraid that I still have to take Charlie. I promise that I will keep you updated on his progress and will let you know what we will do with him."
AJ knew that she didn't have a choice and handed Charlie over to Eve. As soon as he was in Eve's arms, Charlie began to cry and scream. "Momma! Dada!" he screamed over and over again as he reached over to AJ. He didn't want to go with this woman at all.
"Hey it's okay little guy it's going to be okay. Remember what I said, you are only going to go away for a while, but I promise that we will see each other soon," AJ cried as she kissed his little tiny head one last time. She then turned to Eve and said, "Make sure that you tell whoever he is with that he likes to take a lot of baths, he will only sleep on a full stomach, and that he has to have someone to sing to him as he goes to bed every night."
"I'll tell them don't worry, we will take real good care of Charlie," Eve told her before she walked away with a still screaming Charlie.
Once they were gone, AJ collapsed into her chair and started to cry. There was no way that she was going to lose both of her boys. She just needed to Punk to be okay so that he could comfort her and find a way to bring Charlie back to the both of them.
Oh man that's awful, I can't believe that they took Charlie away from AJ. You can so tell that they love each other and that AJ would be a great mom to him. Everything was so much better when they were in the woods and now everything is going to tell. I just hope that Punk makes it and that he can go back AJ.
