Ch. 15
Not quite dead
"Paul Cramer! How... how are you... is this possible?" Babe stuttered, shrinking back against her car as he stepped closer to her.
"I'm alive, and it's very possible." He went out to touch her cheek but Babe recoiled and he pulled his hand back.
"But I saw your b-body." She said.
"You weren't the only one who kept secrets in our marriage. One of mine was that I had a twin brother, his name was Greg. He was the one Daniel Colson killed, not me."
"It was you, wasn't it? You were the one who trashed my hotel room, who took that video of my son." Babe accused, and when Paul didn't answer she took it as a yes. "Why? What do you want?"
"What do I want? Well Babe..." Paul smiled and started to lean toward her. "Payback,"
Before Babe could answer, Paul grabbed her arms and they started to struggle. She pushed him off her and started running to her car. He grabbed her around the waist and picked her up.
"No! Get OFF ME!" Babe screamed.
"Babe, shut up!" Paul grunted while trying to hold onto her.
Babe kicked him in the stomach, making him drop her. She hit the ground hard and for a minute was a little dizzy. She picked her head up and shook it to try and clear her vision. Babe then got up and started jogging to her car. Paul grabbed her by her shirt which ended up ripping. He then made a grab for her hair and yanked it back, making her scream. He turned her around and made a fist that connected to the side of her face. Babe flew to the ground. She then turned and aimed at kick at his private area, making him shout and fall to the ground.
Babe got up and started limping to the nearest elevator. She pressed a button and kept pressing it.
"Come on, COME ON!" Babe screamed as Paul started running towards the elevator.
The doors were moving so slow, and Paul was almost there. Finally, they shut before Paul could reach his hand in. Babe slumped against the elevator wall and started crying.
She heard the familiar ding of the elevator door as it reached its destination and opened its doors. She stood up and grabbed for the elevator door as it slowly opened.
She heard the gasps of patients and doctors alike as she stumbled out of the elevator, bloody and tears running down her cheeks.
Babe heard Jamie's frantic call as she fell over into unconsciousness.
