"How did I get here? One moment I'm walking, get grabbed by some psycho at gun point , Carmen shows up , and now I'm in a chapel " , thought Alicia .

"May I sit down ", asked a black man.

"If you want it's empty ", said Alicia. She continued to sit in wonder and turned to look at the mysterious guy who was smiling at her.

"Ok, I'll bite. What are you smiling for "? , she asked.

"They said you were going to be a handful ", he said still smiling.

"They", said Alicia. "Ok what are you talking about and who are you ", she replied.

"You will find out in due time ", the guy said. " Anyways let's take a walk ", he said taking her hand.

As they walked through the doors Alicia realized they were in a hospital. "What are we doing here "? Alicia asked . The guy continued to be in deep thought as he watched people come on stretchers bleeding to death.

"Hello ", waved Alicia in his face. " Oh, yea I'm sorry ", the guy said.

"You know it's been a long time since I have been in this hospital ", he said.

"Oh yeah ", Alicia said sarcastically rolling her eyes. The guy laughed and continued to walk.

"Your really weird ", said Alicia. " I mean you just sit down next to me and start up a conversation without even knowing me ", she said.

"Yeah, my brother uses to say the same thing a long time ago ", he said.

"So, I guess you grew up around here "? asked Alicia . "Yeah, I guess you could say that ", he said.

"Any brothers or sisters "? she asked . "One brother and a sister ", he replied.

"So how old are you "? she asked . "You do never stop talking do you Alicia,"? , he asked.

"How do you know my name "? she asked . "I know everything about you", he said.

"Ok, that's it who the hell are you because I have never seen you before ", she said getting frustrated. " You keep talking around my questions, so I want to know who sent you and what the hell I'm doing in a hospital ", she said angrily.

"They said you wouldn't remember ", he said walking away. " They, they," she repeated chasing after him.

They finally came to a halt. The gut stared out into a glass with a woman hooked up to wires. Alicia looked too and almost fainted.

"That's me ", she said. " Who the fuck are you ", she said looking at the guy. " Why am I in a hospital bed and standing here "? she asked . "Answer me damn it! ", she screamed.

"You were shot ", he said simply. Alicia continued to look at herself as she saw Carmen sitting over in a chair holding her hand.

"She loves you ", the guy said. " How might you know that "? she asked .

"Because she wouldn't be here if she didn't. Last time I checked you didn't want anything to do with her but she still came to your rescue ", he said.

Alicia started to get a headache and began to have flashes of the night she got shot. She saw Adam and Carmen as she laid in her arms bleeding to death.

"If I'm here and in that bed then am I dead "? she tearfully asked . "No, your not ", he said. " You're just asleep ", he replied. " Then I should wake up soon then ", she said hopefully.

"That's up to you Alicia ", he said as he walked away.

Alicia just stood there stunned.
