CHAPTER THREE

EMERGENCY

The past week had been a blur to Fox, whom had rarely seen Theresa, since he had been preoccupied with getting Whitney's attention. All he really knew about Theresa, was that she had slipped into a coma shortly after she had vowed to make his grandfather pay for her brother's death. He couldn't say he blamed her for wanted Alistair to pay.

"Why do I care so much for Theresa! I love Whitney, and nothing will ever change that!"

He tried to convince himself of that for so long, but failed miserably. His mind always went from Whitney to Theresa. She could die at any moment, and he wasn't even there for her. What kind of person was he?

"What if she loses her baby?" He asked himself. "That's one blow that she'll never get past!"

The ring of his cell phone brought him out of his thoughts, and rushing to find the phone in the pocket of his jacket.

"Fox Crane speaking!" He answered his phone.

"Fox, it's Doctor Russell!"

"Doctor Russell, what is it?"

"Fox, you have to get to the hospital, now! It's an emergency!"

"What's wrong?" He asked concerned.

"Just come! You'll soon find out what you'll dread to know!"

"I'm on my way!" He said hurriedly.

Rushing out the door, he didn't even want to think about what the emergency could be. Jumping in his car, he sped down the road, not paying attention to how fast he was going, or how fast he was supposed to be going.

Hearing sirens behind him, he realized that he was being pulled over. Pulling over, he waited impatiently as the cop slowly advanced toward him.

"Is there a problem, officer?" He asked calmly.

"Do you realize how fast you were going?"

"Look, I understand you're just doing your job, but....."

"No excuses! You were going over the speed limit.....way over the speed limit! Can I see your licence and registration?"

Fox showed him both, and waited impatiently for what was to come.

"Look, officer, my friend is in the hospital, ok. Her doctor just called and told me to hurry up because there was an emergency. Please, I have to be there, please!"

"Alright, but don't let me catch you speeding again!"

"Thanks!" He said, before speeding off.

What if it was too late? What if he was too late?

"Please, god, let me get there in time, please!"
