Chapter Eleven
Robin's recovery room…
"How you feeling dear?" Millie asked when they entered the room
"Exhausted, wish Don could have been here." Robin said in a low, tired voice, yearning for her husband.
"Don is still in surgery, and will be for awhile." Colby said, "Megan will probably be done in an hour or two."
Colby noticed this still made the Eppes men and Robin still tense and Colby was feeling the same himself about this whole situation. He decided to try to see if he could ease it up a little bit.
"So…" he started, "what are you naming the baby?"
This startled everyone but Robin lit up a little bit, smiling a sad smile but answered anyway:
"Me and Don talked about naming him Billy Charles-Alan Brookes-Eppes," She answered
This made Alan smile, "naming him after people you know?" he said chuckling, adding, "That is quite a long name."
"We decided to name him after some of the most important people in our lives," Robin said, smiling at her brother-in-law, who was blushing.
Amita smiled and sadly added, "Hopefully, Don will be able to see his son."
"All we can do is hope for the best," Alan said, secretly unsure if he would be right or not but right now he is just hoping against hope.
"Please, Donnie," Alan silently pleaded, "We need you, please hold on, and same with you Megan, Larry needs you."
Meanwhile…
Merrick's home…
Benson was still in the car while Raymond was checking around the neighborhood to see if there was more security or not, there didn't seem to be much, other than two other guards.
"Anything?" Benson asked when Raymond got back into the car.
"Looked like two guards were with him but I used some knockout darts on them so we should be good to go." Raymond said to his friend
"Good, we need to get rid of Merrick, now." Benson said, preparing his gun
The two men snuck around the house, with Benson noticing there was a teenage girl sleeping on the couch, prompting him to use a dart to ensure she doesn't wake from the gunshots.
Merrick never saw it coming, as Raymond shot him twice in the chest and both of the assassins took off to ensure no witnesses, as they had several other targets in mind, with the Eppes family, as they had to pay for what they had done to them.
