Chapter 45

"This can't be right. Not her," Kyle said looking at the charts that Dr. Rediger had given him.

"I'm sorry about your friend Kyle," Lily said. "The lab simply ran the tests and this is simply what came up. I'm so sorry."

Kyle looked back a t the results and said, "That bastard is so going to be sorry…"

"Kyle," Lily said hushing him, "Calm down. The police are on it. There's so much drama right now. I don't want it taking hold of the world."

"I know," he said closing the chart.

"Do you want me to come in with you when you tell or do you want me to do it?"

"I think I can manage it on my own. I just hope that Laura and Vincent will be okay when they hear it."

"He seems to really care about her," she said. "He doesn't even want to leave her side. If I know anything about that all I can say is that it really is true love…"

Kyle then glanced up at Lily who suddenly snapped back to reality, "I'm going to go check if the Lab has anything else that we should be aware about. It's a good thing that we don't have many other patients tonight. Also," she said leaving, "I'll let you know whether I hear any news form the cops."

"Lily?"

"Yeah."

"Thanks for all this. For caring so much about this case."

"That's what friends are for," Lily proclaimed with a sad smile.

Kyle just nodded and made his way through the hallway.

This would have to be probably one of the toughest things he'd ever have to do as a doctor.

"We just need to know a few things can you possibly remember what happened?"

"I don't know. It's still not clear," Laura said with tears.

"Do you have to this now while she's in pain?" Vincent asked.

"The sooner the better so we can catch this Patrick Sommers."

"Don't say his name-please. All I remember is fighting. He…I don't know how…threw me…I fell back…hit my head. I don't know what happened I…"
"Laura. You need to be strong. What else happened?" the policeman asked writing it all down.

"Vincent…"

"I'll be right here. Don't be scared."

"Laura, please?" the policemen asked, "You don't need to be scared. I am a good friend of Maxine's and I promise we'll find him, okay?"

Laura nodded with her tears.

"All I know is that I woke up alone and there I was all this blood. I don't know how I go t out but I remember walking streets and seeing the place that I work at which is DCF. I went there and I thought I was all alone but thank God Vincent was there and I blacked out. This all happened a little bit over a week ago."

"I called an ambulance and they picked her up within 10 minutes," Vincent choked out.

"Thank you," the policeman said, "Now I'm sorry you had to go through that but there might be a long road ahead in catching this guy especially due to his status in his line of work and society which still has this behavior un-called for. We've been on this now for a little over 3 days and we're having no luck. But we hope we will soon. Get some sleep and take care. Vincent, you're doing good staying with her but get some rest too."

"I will."

"I'll go talk to the others and see if they have tracked down anything we should be aware of. Get some sleep," he said leaving.

Laura then started crying.

"I'm here," Vincent said.

"I don't want him to hurt me," Laura said in terror, "I don't want to see him."

"Shhh….you won't."

Suddenly there was a knock on the door and Kyle walked in softly and quietly.

"How are you holding up?"

"A little in pain but less than before. Are you on your break," she asked. She had been raised to another level of the hospital due to her long stay. Laura had always been observant and despite her weak and fragile state she knew that there was something deeply bothering Kyle.

"Kyle? Is there something that I should know about?"

Kyle was silent.

"Kyle?" Vincent asked also feeling the vibe."What's wrong?"

"I would usually…umm…like to tell this news but under the umm…circumstance…I just don't know…"

"Tell me, Kyle. Please…"

"I don't know how else to say this so just let me plain out tell you."

"What?" Laura asked as Vincent held her hand.

"Laura, you're pregnant."
