Chapter Nine
Hospital Lobby…
David raced up to Colby, who was with Nikki and Millie when he noticed that Charlie, Alan, and Robin weren't there.
"Where are they?" David asked, although he was beginning to get the idea of what was happening.
"Robin went into labor after finding out what happened to Don and Megan," Colby answered, "Charlie and Alan are with her right now as to keep their minds busy while waiting for news on Don and Megan."
"Will she and the baby be okay?" David asked, worried about what that kind of stress could do to both mother and baby.
"The doctor assured us that she and the kid would be fine." Colby said, trying to be positive in this situation.
"Any news on Don and Megan?" David asked, worried about his friends
"They are still in surgery." Colby said
"Any idea as to what happened or who could be behind this?" David asked
"All I know so far is that at least two snipers were behind the attacks and that it seemed that they were being targeted specifically." Colby answered
"That means that this was definitely a professional job and that someone hired those two." David said
"Yeah, which means we will probably have to put everyone on alert and possibly put the Eppes family and Megan under protection." Colby said, looking as hopeful as he could be on the outcome for Don and Megan.
"Should we wait to tell them until after Robin gives birth?" David asked, nervous about what that could entail.
"Yeah, it shouldn't be too long." Colby said, continuing to try to stay positive in this entire situation.
David looked at him questioningly but let it slide, as he knew that Colby was probably right and that he himself had a few phone calls to make. Merrick needed to be updated and make plans to set up protections for the Eppes and everyone who could possibly be targeted.
Millie talked with Nikki, as she was trying to deal with this entire situation as she faced the possibility of losing one of her stepsons.
"Millie, they will pull through." Nikki tried to reassure her
"I hope you are right." Millie said sadly
An agonizing hour later, a doctor emerged…
