(Hey everybody! Here is another installment of "Thug Love", this is when things start getting really interesting, lol! Enjoy!)

Quinn zoomed the G-Wagon out of the parking area sending tourists scrambling for safety as she zoomed down the street avoiding traffic and police. Brittany asked as she removed Santana's leather jacket, bloodied tank top and jeans,

"Is there a blanket in here?"

Quinn replied,

"With the first aid aid kit in the back!"

Santana groaned as Brittany shifted in her seat and got the blanket and first aid kit. Brittany said as she opened the first aid kid and got the bandages out,

"Don't' worry Sanny, I'll take care you!"

Santana groaned in pain,

"It fuckin' hurts!"

Brittany checked out the wound in Santana's abdomen and noticed a medium sized hole there and Brittany gasped,

"Holy shit, this needs the work of a doctor!" Quinn called out to Brittany,

"Dress the wound as best as you can, I know a friend who owns a compound in Arizona and another one who is a doctor. Also give San some morphine, there is some in the first aid box."

Brittany replied,

"Thanks Quinn!"

Brittany injected Santana with some morphine and Santana's groaning became softer and she closed her eyes. Brittany dressed Santana's wound as best as she could and then covered her with a tan blanket. Brittany kissed Santana's sweaty locks and said softly,

"Rest, baby. I'll take care of you. Santana groaned softly,

"Love you, Britt-Britt."

Brittany kissed Santana and replied, "I love you too so much."

Santana fell in a deep sleep and Brittany pulled the blanket up to Santana's chin and Rachel handed Brittany a water bottle and said,

"Here's water for Santana, you need to keep her hydrated. As soon as we get to whatever it is we need to get a doctor as soon as possible, Santana is losing a lot of blood.

Brittany said, "I know."

Brittany started taping on the door with her fingernails and Quinn noticed Brittany's tapping and checked out her pupils through the reflector,

"Are you using, Britt?" Brittany asked,

"Using what?"

Quinn said,

"Cut the bullshit, Britt. I know you are using and you are lucky Santana is not conscious!" Brittany sighed,

"I don't need a fuckin' lecture right now!"

Rachel said,

"What happens when Santana finds out, Britt?" Brittany snapped,

"We'll get there when we'll get there, ok? Let's focus on going to Arizona and get Santana help! I don't know what I'll do if Santana doesn't make it."

Quinn replied,

"Lopez is tough as nails, she was shot before and she lived so it will be fine."

Brittany started to cry and said as she looked at the unconscious Santana,

"I don't know."

Rachel said,

"Come on Britt, she will be ok. From what I've seen she is tough as nail, yes she is a softie at heart but she is tough as nail, she will pull through for you and for us. Just please get clean."

Brittany said through her tears, "I will.

Hours later, Santana woke up groaning and looked at Brittany and she asked, "Where are we?"

Brittany replied softly,

"We are heading to Phoenix, Arizona. We are almost there, do you need water?"

Santana nodded and Brittany gave Santana's water, Santana lifting her head slightly to gulp down the water. Santana groaned,

"Kiss me."

Brittany bent down and gave Santana a soft kiss, Santana said, "Again."

Brittany kissed Santana again and Quinn said,

"Oh Jesus!"

Santana moaned,

"Fuck you, Mrs. Berry.

Quinn exclaimed,

"See what I mean?"

Santana's breathing was labored and Brittany asked,

"Do you need more morphine?"

Santana replied,

"Yeah."

Sue Sylvester was riding in a swat van with Officer Roz Washington, Officer Shannon Beiste and the swat team driver Officer Will Schuester. Sue hissed,

"Ok shit for brains, what now?"

Officer Schuster said,

"We lost track of the jaguar and the Benz G-Wagon, m'am! They were pretty quick!" Officer Washington cracked,

"I didn't realize white girls could ran that fast!

Officer Beiste barked,

"Hey don't get racial!"

Officer Washington barked back,

"Fuck you bitch, I stand by what I said!"

Officer Beiste got into Officer Washington's face and growled,

"And I will put my foot up your donkey ass!"

Officer Washington was ready to draw her gun when Sue Sylvester snapped,

"Shut up or I will put my feet up both of your asses! We need to take Lopez and her gang of merry thugs down!"

The gang got to Phoenix, Arizona and arrived at the compound which was heavily gated and armed. The compound was made of black steel and wire bars on the outside. The compound was in the middle of nowhere in the desert which was perfect for the gang. The guard knew The Lima Height Panthers and let them in the gate, Quinn drove up to the main building where a muscular guy with a Mohawk was waiting for them outside. Quinn parked the G-Wagon and got out with Rachel. Quinn went over to the guy and gave him a hug,

"Hey Puck how's it going? This is my wife, Rachel."

Puck said as he hugged Rachel, "Got yourself a cutie of a wife, Quinnie!"

Brittany got out of the G-Wagon, carrying the wounded and unconscious Santana and Puck exclaimed,

"Holy shit what the fuck happened?"

Quinn answered,

"Got shot by the pigs so she needs surgery and we need to lay low too."

Brittany said as she headed over carrying Santana,

"I am Brittany Santana's wife, could you find us a bed and a doctor for her please?" Puck said as he led everybody into the main house,

"Yeah, I'll give you guys the main room here."

Brittany followed Puck inside the main house while carrying the groaning Santana and Quinn gestured for Mercedes and Lauren to park the vehicles in the garage and then they went inside of the main house.

Rachel asked Quinn as they went up the stairs,

"How do you know Puck?"

Quinn replied,

"We used to do drug deals together and we remained on good terms as friends. Rachel said,

"Oh cool!"

Puck led everyone into huge bedroom that had a huge black bed, giant flat screen Smart TV, leather couch and a bathroom attached to it. The room was pretty much basic, painted in black and had black carpets and rugs. Brittany went to the bed and Puck pulled back the sheets and duvet as Brittany tucked the groaning Santana in who was only wearing a bra and panties underneath the blankets. Brittany said as pulled the blankets over Santana's chin,

"Santana needs oxygen, she is getting weaker." Puck said as he went into the hall closet,

"Have plenty of oxygen in case this shit happens and a doctor is on her way, her name is Doctor Emma Pilsbury."

Brittany asked,

"Is she any good?"

Puck replied as he hooked Santana to an oxygen tank, placing an oxygen strip under her nose, "Oh she's the best, we go way back!"

Quinn cracked,

"You fucked her didn't you?"

Puck scoffed,

"So what if I did?"

Brittany replied,

"Never mind the bullshit, I'll just wait here with Sanny."

Everybody left the room and Brittany went over to the bed and laid next to Santana and kissed her softly on the forehead, Santana moaned softly and gently placed Santana's head on her arm. Brittany stroked Santana's face and whispered,

"You will be ok, babe. I know you will, you've just got too." Brittany softly kissed Santana on the lips, Santana moaned, "Britt-Britt."

Santana slightly leaned into Brittany and Brittany held her gently, reassuring her with gentle kisses. After several minutes, there was a knock on the door and in came a short petite red head with doe eyes and Brittany gently got up from the bed and shook the lady's hand,

"You must be Doctor Emma Pilsbury, I am Brittany Lopez, Santana's wife." Dr. Pilsbury shook Brittany's hand and said,

"Nice to meet you, so this is Santana?"

Brittany replied,

"Yeah and she is pretty pale."

Dr. Pilsbury went over to Santana and pull down to check her vital signs and her wound. Santana vitals were weak and the wound was seeping out blood. Dr. Pilsbury turned to face Brittany and said,

"I need to operate right now, please go down and get the portable operation table downstairs and the antasthetic machine as well."

Brittany nodded and went out the door and asked the gang and Puck to help her with the equipment, they all did and set everything up. Brittany and Dr. Pilsbury got Santana on the table and said,

"Mrs. Lopez I am going to need to remove her bra and panties in order to operate." Brittany replied,

"Fine but I remove them, let me wash my hands."

Brittany went into the bathroom to wash her hands and afterwards she came back out and ordered everyone to turn around as she removed Santana's bra and panties. Everyone obeyed and Brittany removed Santana's bra and panties, covering Santana with a blue sheet. Brittany kissed Santana and then said to Dr. Pilsbury,

"Everyone is going to leave except for me when you operate because if anything happens to Santana, I will kill you."

Dr. Pilsbury's doe eyes widened and said, "You're kidding right?"

Quinn answered,

"No she isn't, we will kill you."

Dr. Pilsbury looked pleadingly at Puck but he just shrugged and said,

"You are on your own, babe! Just don't let anything happen to Lopez!"

Brittany's blue orbs darkened and she said intently,

"Do you understand me? You will be remaining here until Santana's out of danger." Dr. Pilsbury nodded her head and replied nervously,

"I understand perfectly and will be more than happy to stay, Mrs. Lopez."

Brittany said, "Good, now everybody get out!"

Quinn smiled at Brittany as she, Rachel, Mercedes, Lauren and Puck left the room, "Well what do you know Brittany grew a pair!"

Lauren asked,

"Grew what?"

Mercedes snapped,

"She grew horns, get out!"

Dr. Pilsbury asked,

"Do you mind placing the anthestic over Santana's face?" Brittany replied,

"Sure."

Brittany placed the mask over Santana's nose and mouth while Dr. Pilsbury turned the machine on and Santana went into a deeper sleep. Dr. Pilsbury washed the instruments and her hands before slipping on gloves. She marked Santana's abdomen where she was going to make her incision and then she wiped the abdomen down before making an incision to locate the bullet.

Dr. Pilsbury gulped as she was digging into Santana's abdomen,

"I am glad I got here when I did, she has lost a lot of blood and needs a transfusion after I find the bullet."

Brittany asked,

"Do you have extra blood?" Dr. Pilsbury replied,

"I do, brought them with me."

Dr. Pilsbury found the bloodied bullet and was able to remove the bullet, but had to repair the abdomen which took a few hours and to stitch everything up and to dress the wound. As soon as the doctor was finished the dressing. She gave Brittany a gown for Brittany to put on Santana as Dr. Pilsbury brought Santana back, Santana was out of it so Dr. Pilsbury helped Brittany place Santana in bed and place an oxygen strip under Santana's nose.

Dr. Pilsbury explained,

"Santana should be out of danger but she is going to be out for a while. She is one tough cookie.

Brittany replied,

"She is but we need to wait for a while just to make sure Santana will be fine then you can get yourself settled."

Dr. Pilsbury said, "I understand."

TBC...(Glad you are still reading and don't worry Santana won't die. I can't do that to you guys! Santana is the meat and potatoes of this story.)
