In the hospital, they waited to see how Mercedes was. The doctor walked out as the rest of the team were working on her and asked what she ODed on.
"The man said Meth and Coke." Bosco hung his head as tears trickled down his cheeks. Rose had arrived with Carlos was told what happened. Rose was crying on Mikey and Kim was comforting Carlos. Ty was being looked at for a concussion and Faith was declared fine. She was just knocked out. The doctor nodded and turned to walk away.
"It wasn't Meth and Coke. It was salt water. Saline." The doctor turned and looked at him as Rose and Bosco looked over.
"Are you sure?" Mikey nodded to the doctor.
"I remembered Mercedes telling me that they use salt water in IV's. So I made it up when Sully rushed the guy who took me in the other room. Then he knocked out the one that came after me and I replaced him. Did I do something wrong? I didn't kill her did I?" The doctor looked him in shock. Everyone turned to look at Mikey as he looked confused.
"No. You might have saved her life... The doctor rushed back into the room as Rose hugged her youngest son. Maurice moved to him and smiled, hugging him
"And the coke? Where is that?" Maurice asked, wondering if he had snorted it. Mikey pulled it out of his pocket.
"Didn't even touch it. Told you I was clean now." Maurice hugged his brother tightly, almost crushing their mother. After a few moments, the doctor came out.
"She was raped, repeatedly. There is vaginal tearing which we sewed up. Her abdomen is slightly tender, and we did an ultrasound. Her spleen was damaged, and they are taking her to the OR to remove it. Other than that and a concussion, she should be fine. The cuts to her stomach and arms are superficial, and shouldn't cause any scarring. One thing though... the damage to her cervix was severe. There is a possibility she might never be able to have children. We will find out more after the surgery." The group rejoiced until they heard the children part. Rose sobbed softly as Mikey held her. Maurice sighed, the children thing was hard, but she would be ok, and he looked at it that way. She would live.
