The Ross Penthouse, April 13, 6:20 AM

Emma fiddled with the door knob for about 20 minutes. Nothing.

She had half the money that was needed to remove Morgan's tumor. She needed to get the other half out of him and Christina's bedroom, but the door was locked. She figured since she was the only one who was awake, she might as well eat breakfast. She walked downstairs and into the kitchen.

Emma's POV

When I was grabbing the cereal down from the top of the fridge, I heard the elevator door open. I went out to see who it was. It was Tony. His hair was a mess, he had a black eye, and he had enough bags under his eyes big enough to carry fifty dollars worth of groceries.

"Tony, what the heck happened to you?" I asked.

"I was raped." he said.

"WHAT?!" I said with wide eyes.

"It's true. A little after I went home last night, this blonde girl came into my apartment and said, 'Drop your pants, cutie-boy'. After that, she jumped onto my bed and started torturing me!"

From the way he said it, he sounded like he didn't really wanna talk about it. I couldn't imagine what kind of sick person would do that to Tony.

"Did you get her name?" I asked.

"No. After she raped me, she just left without saying another word."

"Well, I think you should tell the police."

"I did. I'm going in for questioning later today. As if I didn't have enough problems in my life already. I can't afford to pay my rent, my girlfriend is in the hospital, and I was sexually abused."

Tony looked around the apartment with his hands up.

"Anyone else wanna take a shot at me?!" he yelled.

"Shh! Everyone else is still asleep!" I said with my finger to my mouth.

"Oh, sorry."

"Anyway, you think you got problems? My parents and my nanny are in the hospital, and I have to come up with $3,000 to get my dad's stomach tumor removed."

"Morgan has a tumor?" Tony asked, looking worried.

"Yep." I said, "The hospital called and told me last night."

"Oh, man. I hope he'll be okay."

"Me too."

Tony's phone buzzed. He checked it.

"I'm needed downstairs. I wish you the best of luck."

"Thanks."

After he left, I started pushing it around in my head: how was I gonna tell everyone else that Dad had a tumor? I mean, they were already heartbroken that that he, Mom and Jessie were in the hospital, and telling them about his tumor would just break their hearts even more. I decided not to tell them.

St. Brown's Hospital, 7:04 AM

No POV

Before Tony went to the police station, he decided to visit Jessie again. When he walked in to her room, he was greeted by:

"Tony!"

"Jessie!" Tony was glad to see that she was awake, and furthermore, alive. He walked over to her bed. Jessie pulled him in for a kiss.

"I'm so glad you're okay!" he said.

"Me too! I was in surgery last night." she said.

"How did it go?"

"Good! It still hurts a little, but I survived."

"Well, that's good to hear. Anyway, babe, I'm afraid I have some bad news."

"What is it?"

"Your father came here last night, and me and the kids and Bertram heard him saying that he was gonna sue Morgan and Christina and that he was gonna take you back to Texas if you lived through all this."

"What?! He can't do that!"

"Um, Jess, I hate to break it to you, but he's your dad. He can do whatever he wants."

Jessie was so angry she almost ripped off the IV attached to her arm.

Manhattan Deluxe Hotel, 7:59 AM

When J.W woke up, he sent a text to the girl who had raped Tony, Kristen.

He put:

So how did it go?

Kristen replied:

Success!

I'm glad to hear that! I'll get you your money later today. Meet me in the alley by the bank. And make sure pretty-boy doesn't go to the cops.

23rd Street, 8:08 AM

When Tony was driving to the police station, he got a text from an unknown number. When he got to a stoplight, he read the text. It said:

You listen and you listen good. If you go to the po-po, you lose your life. Don't think I won't kill you, cutie-boy, because I'm not scared to.

Tony immeadiately knew who it was. He decided to go the police anyway, because he knew it was time to be a man. But little did he know that after the next few hours, he would regret his decision.
