I put Hannah to bed and sat in my bed trying to finish up some small wedding details, well the ones I can do without having to call someone.
Thoughts of Jake were in the back of my mind. I know he really did not want to go undercover tonight but everyone pushed him to do it including me. If the rare case came up that he did get hurt I would feel guilt as well as everyone else.
But what are the real chances that Jake will actually have something happen to him I mean he is bartending a party to get intel.
I put my computer away around nine. I needed to get some sleep because I have a child that does not know time and is up at 6:30 every morning.
It only took a few minutes to for me to fall asleep. I was not even out for 20 minutes before I heard a knock at the door.
I sat up and went back to sleep. What ever it is can wait until morning or when Jake gets home what ever comes first.
Who ever was at the door kept knocking and I kept ignoring it. I needed to sleep.
A few minutes later the knocking stopped and my phone started ringing. If it was anywhere else besides on my night stand I would have ignored it.
I put on my glasses and looked at the screen. Rosa.
"Hello," I said groggily.
"Hey I am at your door wake up."
"Why?"
"I will tell you but you need to let me in."
"Fine."
I hung up my phone and walked to my front door. Only the main few locks were done because I did not know when Jake was going to be home.
When I opened the door Rosa barged in and shut the door.
"Is something wrong?" I asked.
"Yes."
"With.."
"Well two things. The one that needed me to barge in is that your neighbors were walking up and I pretty sure are pissed at me."
"Okay and the issue that caused you to need to knock on my door and call me at 9:30."
"Jakes been shot."
"Wait...What."
"There was a fight that broke out in the bar that caused a shootout and Jake was hit."
"Fuck, of course it would happen as if he was not nervous enough about going undercover this happens. Is he okay?"
"I don't really no. I was told he was alive and he was on his way to the hospital but that's all I know."
"Okay let me go get dressed and wake up Hannah and get over there."
"Don't worry about Hannah that's why I'm here. You go."
"I need to get dressed first but if you are going to stay with her you better get some sleep because she is up at 6:30 most mornings."
I ran and threw on some sweat pants and a T-shirt. Then put on my tennis shoes.
Rosa was still standing where I left her.
"Thanks for this Rosa. I will let you know when I hear anything." And I was out the door and in the car in a matter of seconds. And I was off like a bat out of hell.
Why do the bad things always happen to Jake. I mean when I was pregnant with Hannah it was him getting hit by a taxi, getting stung by a bee and going into shock, then having a seizure while on a stake out. I mean he was fine for a whole year and now its starting again.
I pulled up to the hospital 10 minutes after I left our place.
I ran into the emergency department and Charles and Terry were sitting there. Terry was cover in blood that I am assuming is Jakes.
They both looked distraught. I walked over and they stood up and gave me a hug. We all sat down.
"So how is he?"
"In surgery now. He took a bulled to the stomach."
"What happened?"
"Someone was pissed off at the guy we were tracking and shot him point blank and killed him. From there his guys were pissed and started shooting at the other guy and the whole place was shooting at each other. Jake just was stuck in the crossfire."
"How did you know he was hit?"
"I saw the video of the shooting starting. Jake said tell Amy and Hannah that I love them and then I could not get him to respond. Terry went in when back up came and was able to get home out."
I looked over at Terry he had not said a word. If he is taking it like this then I wonder how Jake is going to take it when he wakes up.
