Chapter number 8. Don't leave me now

Jack's heart began beating at a gazillion kilometer's per hour, he couldn't lose her right when he had just got her back, even the thought of that was enough to make his heart shatter.

"What went wrong?" Jack finally asked.

"The operator's haven't told us yet, all we know is that they had to put her on life support" the nurse replied. "I'll tell you when we know more".

Jack sat back down in his chair even more worried for Martha's life than he had been before. 'Martha, please don't leave me now' Jack whispered to himself, hopping that she would pull through 'please not now'.

Back in the dark room where Steve's mates were planning their revenge the leader of the gang, whose name was Jay was instructing them on how they would plant the bomb in the boat and where. "This is a map of the boat. You see this storage room at the bottom of the boat has a large ventilation system near the top of the wall, so if we plant it far enough in there then they won't suspect anything because the bomb won't be blocking the ventilation enough to affect anything." Jay explained to the men. "Now all we have to do is get our hands on some security passes and a small enough bomb to put in the ventilation system and then it's show time boys!"

"Um boss how are we going to get the bomb in the boat without being caught?" one of the men asked. He wasn't the brightest in the gang, he usually thought of the obvious things without thinking about the important part's that seemed to always change the whole situation.

"That's what the security passes are for you idiot, they'll think were just doing a normal procedure check" Jay told him.

"Boss, I hate to break it to you" one of the other gang member's started "But their going to get a bit suss if their's twice as many security guards as normal".

"Well then well just have to a bit more work then won't we" Jay said returning to the front of the room where the planning board was.

"What do you mean boss?"

"I mean, well have to steal the identities of the security guards that have been hired already," Jay said.

"You mean we kill them?"

"I think you know where I'm coming from now," Jay said with an evil smile plastered all over his face.

"Hey babe" Steve said as he entered the caravan he and Hayley had hired, carrying Noah in with him.

"Hey, what took you so long?" Hayley asked.

"Oh on the way Dad called and-" Hayley cut him off.

"Why do you guys talk to each other so much, I thought you told me that you and your dad can't get along for at least five minutes at a time".

"Oh, that was a while ago, recently we've been getting along a lot better, so whenever he calls I take the time to talk to him and get to know him better. I never really got to know him properly when I was a kid, he was just never around and when he was around we would always fighting" Steve lied. She had been right, it was true that him and his dad couldn't get along for five minutes at a time, the only reason that they were working together now was because they both cared about Eve (Zoe). But by the look on Hayley's face, he knew that she had believed his lies once again.

"Ok, that's good. I was expecting that I was going to have to be the one to stop fight's when we went down there next week".

"No not at all babe" he said holding her in his arms as she drifted off to sleep. It had been a long day for Hayley and she really needed the sleep.

"Mr Holden" one of the nurses said approaching a very worried Jack.

"Yeah, is she ok" Jack replied.

" Yeah, well she's breathing by herself again. She's just come out of surgery, but we won't know if the operation has worked until she wakes up".

"Can I see her?" Jack asked.

"Yes, but she won't be awake for a while yet" the nurse replied "She's in room thirty two".

Scott sighed as he sat on the beach as the sun set. 'Martha will probably be out of surgery by now' he thought to himself, he wasn't going to go and see her though, he just knew that he wouldn't be able to handle that right now.

"Hey Scott, Haven't seen you for a long time" A familiar voice from behind said kindly as she sat down beside him and kissed him on the cheek.

Next time:
Has Martha's operation worked?
How will the gang's plan go?
Who is the mistery girl that came back to see Scott?
