Part 9
Greenlee rushed into Kendall's condo when she saw an ambulance outside. She saw Zach standing in the background trying to push his way up to Kendall's condo and the ambulance. Greenlee saw this and rushed over to where the cops were keeping people back. Greenlee stood by Zach and when he saw her he turned toward her and hugged her. Though Zach and Kendall weren't married he knew she was going to be well taken care of by the woman he was now hugging.
"They won't let me through…Madden came by and some bystander heard commotion and a scream and broke the door down and found Kendall being held by Madden. He had a needle in his hand and was about to inject Kendall. They knocked the basterd out when she saw Madden. Madden's already at the hospital and they're trying to convince Kendall to go as well but she won't go and Derrick just arrived and is taking the statements. He already got past me and was going in with Kendall and the bystander now. You just missed him! They won't let me through because I'm not family!" Zach said loud enough for the cops to hear him.
Greenlee looked at Zach and saw the cops around the area and she was staring to paic. She took in what Zach and told her and she felt her legs give out, thankfully Zach was there and he caught her before she actually hit the floor. Kendall was attacked and she wasn't there to protect her, Kendall was attacked and some bystander was there to save her, Kendall was attacked by Madden a man she brought into their lives. Greenlee felt like she was going to be sick, no she was about to get sick. Greenlee pushed away from Zach and ran to the corner of the condos and heaved up whatever she had just eaten at Erica's. Greenlee had no idea who the woman that saved Kendall was but she was now ready to pay this woman tribute for keeping Kendall safe.
Greenlee stood back up and thanked Zach for the napkin he offered her. She threw it away and stood up and walked back over to the crowd. Zach really was a nice guy, he just better be a nice guy that stays away from Kendall. Greenlee felt the nausea coming back when she heard commotion coming from inside Kendall's condo. She had had enough with just standing there doing nothing. She looked at the condo and then the police, took a deep breathe and rushed the cops trying to get past, frantic to get past.
"That's my partners place….let me by! She's my partner! Let me go…I need to make sure she's OKAY! LET ME BY!" Greenlee yelled as she fought against the two men trying to keep her back.
Greenlee was so grateful to see Derrick standing in Kendall's doorway. She looked up at him and he waved the two men off and Greenlee stood up, fixed her outfit and stalked up to the doorway and Derrick, looked at the two men then nodded at Derrick before walking into Kendall's condo, shocked to see what she saw.
Zach looked at Greenlee and laughed. "Why didn't I do something like that?"
--------
Kendall woke up to find Madden tied to a chair in her kitchen, a cold compress on her head and her sister. No it wasn't Bianca, it was Melissa. Kendall blinked a few times and felt her head spin, but not from the exertion of almost being drugged or almost killed, no she was in the mists of a head spin because her sister, her 16 year old sister was holding an infant while holding a cold compress to her head. Not to mention that she hadn't seen her little sister since she was 17 and that was almost…. 15 years ago. Melissa and her talked over the phone and for the past five years over the Internet she knew how Melissa was doing, how Alice had taken in another child that was their sister by blood. Did Kendall ever tell Erica about this, no…Kendall had been sworn to secrecy by both Alice and Melissa that Erica would not hear about them from her and Kendall had kept good on her word, she had!
Kendall had really tried not to think about it, and now was just another one of those times. Melissa didn't want to be known as Erica Kane's illegitimate daughter she wanted Alice Hart to be known as her mother no one else. Kendall felt her eyes water as she thought about the last email she had receive from Melissa, the last message she received from her sister. Melissa had been so distraught, Alice had suffered from a heart attack and had died three hours later. Kendall hadn't found out till after the funeral, because Melissa had been so upset and busy planning the funeral. The fact that her little sister was holding an infant that couldn't be more then five months, and she was rounder then the pictures she got of her and Kathleen every month told Kendall something else. Thinking about it for a second she remembered now that Melissa stopped sending pictures of both her and Kathleen but just of Kathleen and Alice about a year ago.
"Oh god…Melissa…" Kendall whispered, as she looked up at her little sister.
"Hey sis…nice to see you're awake." Melissa said smiling. She looked up and saw two policemen taking Madden with them out to the courtyard where an ambulance was waiting.
"I'm so sor…" Kendall started tears falling but was silenced by Melissa's finger to her lips and the smile playing on her sister's lips.
"Hush now…. you need to rest ok. You scared me there for a little. They wanted to take you to the hospital but you shuddered and kicked them while they were trying to pick you up…so they told me what to do until you woke up." Melissa said as she looked over toward the medics that were putting Greg into the first ambulance.
"But…"
"No butts…ok. I'm ok, you're going to be ok and you're baby is fine. They checked his vitals and yours they said you just passed out from the exertion." Melissa said as she smiled at Kendall, her head tilted as she ran her hand down from Kendall's hair to her chin. "You're going to make me an aunty…I see." Melissa said smiling.
Kendall laughed lightly and held her head she was very dizzy! "I see you already have…" Kendall said as she looked at the little girl in her sister's arms.
Melissa smiled and looked down at Anna before looking up at Kendall. "I'd offer to let you hold her but you're supposed to rest." Melissa said smiling up at Kendall.
Kendall smiled back at her sister and closed her eyes, she felt the cold compress on her forehead and thanked god it was there because if it wasn't she knew her heard would be on fire, and soon after her hair. Kendall had a lot of questions for Melissa and she had a lot to make up for but she knew the first thing she had to take care of was the major question about her sister. Kendall wasn't worried about Spike Melissa had just informed her that she and Spike were ok, now she needed to know about Melissa and Kathleen.
"What's going to happen to you and Kat now?" Kendall asked as she opened her eyes to look at her sister.
Melissa tried to shush her again but Kendall wasn't going to be shushed.
"You're my sisters. Alice is…she's dead.." Kendall whispered as she saw Melissa's eyes cloud with tears. Kendall reached her hand out and placed it on Melissa's arm and squeezed it. "..Where are my baby sisters going to go?"
Melissa rolled her eyes. "You never did listen…"
Kendall laughed. "No I never did, now answer me."
"We're here in Pine Valley to see….Molly can't keep us. Molly won't keep us, she said she'd take Kathleen but she couldn't handle me and…little Anna here." Melissa said lifting Anna up slightly when she mentioned her daughter's name. "Molly said she'd take me to Pine Valley to give me a chance to talk to you…." Melissa looked down and stopped talking for a minute. "Look we'll talk about this when you're better…."
Kendall wasn't about to have that. "Molly won't take you because you have a baby!" Kendall was getting angry at her cousin.
"Kendall look…." Melissa tried to divert Kendall but failed.
"No…answer me. Molly won't take you because you have a daughter?"
Melissa shook her head and looked down. "I never said that!""
"But that's what's going on!"
"Kendall you have to rest we can talk about this later…
"No we're going to talk about it now. We're going to settle this now. You're staying here with me…. you're not going anywhere near Molly again." Kendall said firmly as if finalizing the matter.
Melissa sighed and stood up when Anna started to stir in her arms. She rocked her little girl back and forth and hummed till she was falling back asleep. Kendall was staring at Melissa and her niece and she smiled, Melissa was always going to make a good mother but she was too young. Later when Kendall wasn't pregnant she was going to get into it with her sister about the whole father issue.
"What about…." Melissa was about to say to Kendall but was stopped when a woman started screaming outside the condo, something about Kendall being her partner. Melissa turned toward the door just as the woman came barging through the door.
Melissa watched as Greenlee…. she knew it was Greenlee because well she admired Kendall, Greenlee, Mia, and Simone for starting Fusion. Though at the moment she wished Greenlee knew her because the look in Greenlee's eyes and on her face was frightening Melissa deeply. Melissa watched as Greenlee slowly walked into the room, her eyes fixated on Anna. Melissa saw this and slowly stepped back every time Greenlee stepped forward. There was no way she was letting Greenlee have her daughter, no matter what she thought at the moment Melissa was NOT going to give Anna to Greenlee until she knew that Anna was not her child.
"Greenlee…." Kendall said and all of a sudden Greenlee's attention was on Kendall and not Melissa and Anna. Melissa was great full for that.
"Kendall…god are you ok?" Greenlee asked as she rushed over to Kendall and kneeled in front of the couch. "Why aren't you in the hospital?" Greenlee asked as she ran her hand down Kendall's cheek.
"They already gave me the Okay…." Kendall said looking at Greenlee. She watched as Greenlee looked confused and turned toward Melissa and the baby she was holding before Greenlee's eyes turned back to her. "….that's Melissa, my baby sister." Kendall said watching for Greenlee's reaction to this new information, but what surprised Kendall was it didn't faze Greenlee at all.
"Yes…I already know about Melissa."
Kendall's eyes got wide. "How do you know about her?"
"Simone." Greenlee answered as she continued to look at the baby in Melissa's arms.
"Greenlee….look I'm still pregnant…that baby Melissa's holding is my niece." Kendall said then realized what Greenlee had just told her. "How did Simone know?"
Melissa looked down at the floor and took a step forward and raised her fingers up. "That would be my fault. I went to Fusion looking for you yesterday." Melissa said looking at Kendall.
Kendall looked at Melissa and then at Greenlee and closed her eyes. "Oh, okay."
Greenlee looked up at Derrick and saw he was waiting for the right moment to ask but he rarely ever did wait for anyone.
"You're Kendall's sister?" Derrick asked looking at Melissa as he pulled out his notepad.
"Yes…." Melissa said looking at Derrick.
"Is there a reason why you didn't give us this information when we asked how you knew Kendall?" Derrick asked giving Melissa a tilted look.
Greenlee looked up at Derrick and then over at Melissa confused. Why wouldn't Melissa want people to know she was Kendall's sister now? After all she had told Simone about being Kendall's sister, why not Derrick. Then again why would Kendall never mention Melissa after all these years? Then as if she had been struck by lightning she remembered how Kendall hadn't wanted anyone to know she was Erica's daughter when she first came to town. Melissa may want the same thing that must have been why Kendall never mentioned her; Melissa didn't want Erica to know who she was. Melissa was Erica's daughter…. that could explain a lot, except then again Greenlee was only grasping at straws. Only if she knew she had grasped onto the right one, but she really had no idea how big that straw was and when she found out, she'd wish she never grasped it in the first place.
TBC….
