Chapter 37-Bleeding Love
"Oh my god April!" Punk shouted at his wife as he put Charlie down on the floor and ran over to his bleeding unconscious wife. "C'mon baby wake up for me please," he said to AJ as he tried to shake her awake, but it was no use.
Knowing that his wife needed help fast, Punk picked up the phone and called the only person that would help him. "Hello," said a groggy voice on the other line.
"Dean it's me Phil, I need your help please. It's AJ she's hurt and I don't know what to do. I don't even know that happened," Punk frantically said to Dean.
"What do you mean that you don't know what happened?" Dean asked now wide awake as he got up and quickly got dressed."
Punk put the phone on speaker and returned to his wife as he put pressure on her wound, "I really don't know what happened, one minute I was as sleep and the next I'm hearing a window breaking and Charlie started to cry. Then when I came into the living room, April was on the floor bleeding. God April please wake up."
Hearing the desperation in his friend's voice, Dean quickly ran out of his hotel room and straight to his car, "Alright man just hang on, I'm on my way now. How bad is AJ injury?"
"It's…it's…it's pretty bad. I think she was shot or something. Okay just apply pressure to her wound and keep talking to me. Where is Charlie?" Dean asked as he drove to Punk's at a high rate of speed.
"He is playing with his toys on the other side of the room. I don't want him to see this, but my hands are bloody and I don't want to leave April," Phil cried as he cradled AJ against his chest.
Dean knew that he had to get AJ help fast, so fast he was talking to Punk, he sent a text to Roman telling him to dial 911 and send them to Punk's house fast. He would then explain things to him later. "Look Punk I know that you don't want to leave April, but you have to take Charlie out of there. You're in a potential crime scene and besides, what if the person who is responsible for this is still out there and is willing to take you all out. I already have Roman calling 911 and they will be there any moment to help AJ. You need to leave her and watch out for Charlie. You know that AJ would want you to take care of Charlie more than her."
Punk knew that Dean had a point and he had to take care of Charlie no matter what, so he kissed AJ's head and placed his hand on her stomach, "I love you so fucking much April Brooks, you and our baby. I just need you and the little one to hold on and I promise you that I will find whoever did this to you. I fucking promise."
He then placed AJ down carefully with a blanket keeping her warm and ran to the kitchen to wash the blood off of him. Once he was clean, he picked up Charlie who was slowly crawling towards AJ's body. Deciding that Charlie's nursery was the safest place right now, Punk took him there and laid him down in his crib.
"Alright little man you need to stay here and sleep a little for me okay. I know that things are a little scary right now, but mommy and your baby brother or sister will be fine. Just stay here please," Punk said kissing his son's head one last time.
However as he went back to the living room out of the corner of his eye through the window, he saw a figure in the shadows get into a van and instantly he knew that was the man that shot April. Hearing the sirens off in the distance, Punk knew that AJ and Charlie were going to be alright, so he took off towards the van looking for justice.
A few minutes behind him, Dean had pulled up into the drive with the ambulance and other police officers right behind him. Not bothering with turning off his car, Dean jumped out of the car and ran into the house. "Punk, Punk where are you?" he called out into the awfully quite house.
Unfortunately there was no answer and when he looked into the living room, that's when he saw AJ laying on the ground looking white as a ghost. Running up to her and looking for a pulse, Dean breathed a sigh of relief when he found one. That's when the paramedics ran into the house and finally AJ was in good hands.
Dean then turned his attention to finding Punk and Charlie and when he heard a faint crying in the background, so he took off towards the noise. That's when he found Charlie in crib crying for his mommy and daddy. "Hey it's okay little man, Uncle Dean is here. I bet you had a scary night huh, but it's okay because your mommy is going to be fine. Now I need you help in finding your daddy. Do you know where he is?" he asked the baby as he held him in his arms.
As Dean looked throughout the house, he couldn't find Punk anywhere and he feared the worst. Knowing that Punk obviously left the house, Dean went to run outside when he ran straight into Randy and Roman. "Dude what the hell is going on? We saw an ambulance speed away from here," Roman asked his friend.
"I'm not sure myself what exactly happened either. All I know is that Punk called me freaking out saying that AJ was shot and he didn't know who did it. So I stayed on the phone with him for as long as I could before it went dead. When I got here I found AJ on the ground and Charlie here in his crib with Punk nowhere to be found," Dean explained still with Charlie in his arms.
"Oh shit man is AJ going to be okay?" Randy asked as he took the boy from Dean's arms.
Dean just shook his head, "I don't know I mean she lost a lot of blood, but thankfully I found a pulse on her so hopefully she will be. In the meantime Randy I'm going to need you to take Charlie with you for the night while we try to find where the hell Punk is."
Roman turned and looked at Dean in confusion, "Wait, you don't know where he is? Why the hell would he leave Charlie and AJ here all alone especially when AJ had been injured?"
"Maybe he just cracked and lost it or maybe he saw who did it, I don't know but we have to find him. Luckily for us Colt is on his way here and he has the tracking system with him. I guess Punk either forgot he had it on or he was smart enough to let it go off so that we could track him," Dean said as they went outside while the FBI processed the crime scene.
"Hey guys how's it going?" Colt asked as he walked up to them with a briefcase in his hand. "I got the tracker like you wanted me too."
Dean patted Colt on the back and said, "Thanks man we really need it. It seems like Brooks has taken off somewhere and we don't know where he is at."
Colt smiled and said, "No problem, just let me turn this bad boy on and we will find where you man is." Colt then put the briefcase on the hood of the car and started to get the tracking system up and running. After a few minutes, the tracker was on and working, "Alright boys, there's your man."
Both Roman and Dean looked at the screen and they could see that the ankle bracelet on Punk's leg was showing that he was in the bad part of Chicago near some old run down motel.
"Cool thanks Colt at least we know that he is okay so far. However we do need to get him back, so I'm gonna go stop him from doing anything stupid. I want you two to get to the hospital and make sure that no one other than the FBI, Randy and his family, and the doctors only see AJ. Thank son of a bitch that shot AJ is still out there and the might strike again," Dean told Colt and Roman before he got into his car and speed off towards the direction that Punk was in.
Over with Punk, he had managed to follow the van and the unknown assailant through the streets of Chicago until the van came to a stop at a motel that looked like it was very close to either closing down or burning. Still not seen by the van, Punk pulled over and hid in the shadows as he saw the van empty with about five people getting out.
Two of the men he recognized as Hunter and Seth and immediately Punk grew angrier more than he had ever been. Not only that, but Punk got an even bigger shock when he saw the one woman that was with group.
"What the fuck, Brie? How…why…" Punk said to himself in confusion. "I knew that I should have never fucking trusted that woman. Even though Randy is my best friend, I'm gonna rip her fucking hair out and shove it down her throat. I swear to god I'm gonna…"
Unfortunately as he was about to come out of the shadows not caring that he was alone, someone had come up from behind him and grabbed him with their hand on his mouth. Punk instantly went into a flight or fight mode and started to fight against his attacker.
"Hey, hey calm down man it's me," Dean said as he tried to keep Punk calm before he made a scene.
"Dean? Man you scared the shit out of me. What the hell are you doing here?" Punk asked as he tried to control his heart beat and breathing.
Dean shook his head and said, "Why the fuck do you think I'm here man, I'm here to make sure that you didn't do anything stupid. Why didn't you stay at the house like I fucking told you to? I told you to take care of Charlie."
Punk looked down and said, "I know and that's what I was going to do, but then I saw someone hop into that van and I knew that I had to follow them. I also knew that you were on your way, so I knew that Charlie was in safe hands. I mean he is okay right and April is she alive? Did she get to the hospital alive?" If she died all alone in their house, then there would be no forgiving himself for what he did by leaving the house.
"Look as far as I know, April was on her way to the hospital the last time that I checked. She did have a pulse though as they were taking her away, so we can just hope that she made it. As for Charlie, I sent him with Randy for the night and I assume that he is on the way to the hospital which is where you should be," Dean said scolding him like a child.
"I know man and you're right I should be at the hospital with my family, so let's go. Besides I think I need to talk to Randy about some things. Either he is being fooled just like me, or he has been playing with me since the beginning," Punk said with anger in his voice as they got into their car and took off.
Today was supposed to the greatest day of his and AJ's life. It was supposed to be the day where they were joined together as husband and wife and spend the rest of their time together in happiness as a family. Unfortunately only one of those things happened and now AJ was hopefully at the hospital fighting to stay alive. No matter what the outcome of tonight's tragic events was, Punk vowed to end Hunter and Evolution one way or another.
Oh man what a crazy chapter. At least Punk was able to find out who shot AJ, but at the same time it meant that he had to leave his family behind. It was a heartbreaking decision, but Punk did what he had to do. Also I hope that AJ and the baby make it and I can't wait to see what Punk does when he gets to the hospital and sees Brie.
