As we walked through the streets of Paris, I took the girls sight seeing. My sisters and I are not leaving the girls alone; it is going to be a long time before I let Lela baby-sit. One bit of comfort though, is that even though Howard is here with us, he is paying to have a new security system installed into the mansion. So that something like their kidnapping won't happen again.
On a good note, I got a call from Detective Jones. The kidnappers plead guilty, so there won't be a trial and the girls won't have to testify. That's good especially for Lela, she was not looking forward to testifying about the rape.
"So it's really over." Terri asked.
"We really don't have to testify?" Becky asked.
"Yes it's really over and no you really don't have to testify." I said to them, giving them a hug.
We walked a little further when all of sudden Lela collapsed.
"Oh my goodness" I said as I ran over to her.
She lay so still.
"Someone call for an ambulance please." I called to the people around me.
"I will do it." Howard said.
He left and then came back a few minutes later, "Alright it's done, they should be here soon.
Lela started coming to and tried to stand up, but I stopped her. "Don't get up; we called for an ambulance when you collapsed. They should be here soon." I told her.
We waited for the ambulance to come, when they did, they laid Lela on a stretcher and loaded her into the ambulance. I am going with them.
"Meet us at the Hospital," I called to the others.
When we got to the Hospital, they took Lela for tests and I waited for them to show up. Terri came running up to me and gave me a hug.
"How's Lela?" Delaree asked.
"I don't know, they are running some tests." I said to them.
As we waited I saw how scared my girls are for Lela.
A nurse came up,
"How's Lela?" I asked the nurse.
"They are taking her into a room; we have to admit her for now." The nurse replied.
"Can we see her?" Marianne asked me and the nurse.
"No I am afraid she can't have any visitors right now, except for you." The nurse said looking directly at me.
"You go; we will stay here with the girls." Aja said.
I went into see Lela she was barely awake. I just sat down in the chair next to her bed.
After awhile the nurse came in and we went into the hall to let Lela sleep. When she told me what Lela test results revealed. I thought I was going to be the one to pass out.
