Chapter 14:

"Eddie, did you get to see Carmen over the weekend?"asked Henrietta Wilson.

Eddie was tying his boots-looks at Henrietta. "NO! Carmen didn't want to see Evan and I"answered Eddie.

"Do you know why?"asked Howie.

Evan comes walking upstairs in the kitchen. "Liam just called Maddie at work, said that Carmen was upset"answered Evan grabbing an apple.

Eddie stands up quickly. "Upset! I don't care we are going over there to check on Carmen after shift"answered Eddie.

14 hrs later

Eddie, Maddie, Christopher and Evan drove to Santa Monica.

Liam Johnson came outside to get ready for the bike patrol with Hayden Carson.

"Liam! How's Carmen doing?"asked Maddie.

"Was gotta take a shower"answered Hayden.

"Now?"answered Evan.

"Yes! Now she was at the beach for most of the day"answered Liam.

Maddie heads inside to check on Carmen.

Carmen was indeed taking a shower-private suite.

Groans through-still in pain.

Knocked on the doorway.

"Carmen! Can I come in?"answered Maddie.

Carmen winced a little bit-tying not to scream.

Maddie opens the doorway-saw Carmen sitting in the shower. "Oh My God! Carmen"shouted Maddie.

Which brought Evan upstairs in a flash of lightening.

Eddie was downstairs with Christopher

Christopher looks at his father. "Daddy!"answered Christopher.

"Is something wrong, buddy?"asked Eddie kneeling down to his son level.

"Go! See Carmen"answered Christopher.

Crystal comes walking from outside."Christopher will be fine, go check on Carmen"answered Crystal.

Eddie races upstairs.

Finds that Evan had picked up Carmen in his arms-was in their daughter's room.

Carmen was shaking.

"Carmen! tell us what's wrong?"answered Maddie.

Carmen shakes her head-screaming into Evan's shoulders.

Screams.
