Chapter 6.

"I told her we shouldn't have left her alone! I told her so!" Kris said, tears welling up in her eyes.

Jill, who was behind the steering wheel, put her hand on her sister's knee.

"Kris, don't worry, maybe she's okay. We'll be there within a minute, okay?"

"We should call an ambulance."

"Let's go in and check on her first. Maybe she just was a little dizzy."

With Jill driving, it didn't take many minutes to get to Kelly's house. They roared into the house, finding Kelly and Ella in the livingroom. Kelly was down on the floor, lying on her stomach, and Ella was sitting down next to her, tugging her arm. Kris grabbed Ella, walking away into the next room with her, while Jill kneeled next to Kelly.

"Kelly? Kelly, can you hear me?" Jill said, putting a hand on top of Kelly's back.

"Yeah…" Kelly whispered.

"Kelly, how are you feeling?"

"I'm okay… I… I just can't… get up."

"Sure? I think I'd better call an ambulance."

"No, Jill, no, please don't. Just help me up. Please."

Jill thought for a second, wondering if she should go against Kelly and call an ambulance, or if she should obey. She decided to help Kelly up, and see what happened.

"Okay, come on. Try to roll over to your back, and then we'll sit up, okay?"

Kelly let out some mumbling words, and Jill slowly and very carefully helped her to roll onto her back. Jill carefully put a hand under Kelly's head as she put it to the floor, trying to get the world to stop spinning. Kelly then grabbed Jill's hand, and Jill carefully helped her up into sitting position, supporting her all the way up. When Kelly got up, Jill put one arm around her shoulder, the other arm on the front of the closest shoulder, helping Kelly to sit up straight. Kelly looked up, meeting Jill's eyes for the first time.

"Hi." Jill said, trying to be cute, but the worry shown in her entire face made her fail.

"I… I forgot to… take my meds." Kelly said, taking deep breaths in the sentence. "And… I'm just so dizzy."

"Want us to help you get to your bed?" Jill asked, and Kelly slowly nodded, her eyes closed.

"Kris!" Jill yelled, and Kris entered the room. "Come on, let's get her to bed."

"Sure?" Kris said, kneeling besides Kelly too.

"I'm okay Kris, really." Kelly said, still with her eyes closed. "Just help me to my bed."

Kris and Jill looked at each other, agreeing on letting Kelly decide. They both grabbed her firmly, and carefully helped her up on her feet. Kelly put her arms over Jill and Kris' shoulders, and they slowly made their way into the bedroom, and helped to get Kelly into her bed.

"Kelly, where's your medications?" Jill asked when Kelly was settled in the bed, halfway sitting up; head leaned back towards the pillows.

"In my purse." Kelly whispered, and Jill nodded, and went to get the purse which still was in the hall. Kris gave Kelly's hand a friendly squeeze before disappearing into the kitchen, filling up a glass with cold water, which she gave to Jill when she entered the kitchen.

"Here, you give her this, I'll take care of Ella." Kris said, and Jill nodded, before leaving the kitchen, heading towards Kelly's room. Kris went into Ella's room, and she found the little girl in her bed, up against the corner. Arms wrapped around her legs, and her head towards her knees. Kris sat down in the bed, and when Ella noticed her she jumped over and sat down in Kris' lap. Kris held her close, putting down her nose into the girl's hair.

"Aunt Kris, I'm scared!"

"Ssch, don't worry honey. Mommy's okay."

"No, she's not okay!"

"Oh, Ella, I know you're scared. Mommy's not feeling too well, but she will be okay. It will take a few days, okay?"

"I want you to stay here Aunt Kris."

"I will stay here, Jill will stay here too. It's going to be alright."

Ella nodded, burying her face towards Kris' chest as Kris held her close, rocking her back and forth.

Jill helped Kelly to take her medications, and then tucked in her good. She sat down in the room, observing Kelly as she fell asleep, just making sure she was okay. Jill remembered the last time Kelly had been shot. Almost 4 years ago, when Skip had found a gun. They – to this day – don't know why he fired the gun, but Kelly still visited him often. He was happy with his mother and stepfather, and had really opened up. But Jill would never forget the phonecall. She was in the office with Sabrina and Bosley.

"Congratulations Angels, you've done it again!" Charlie's voice echoed through the speaker.

"Even I am forced to agree with you on this one Charlie." Bosley said, sitting behind the desk. "The girls were superb."

"At great personal risk Charlie." Sabrina said, doing her crossword puzzle.

"Yeah, how about lightening up on us on the next case Charlie, we've had enough of the guns and knives bit for a while" Jill agreed with Sabrina.

"I think you're overreacting ladies." Charlie said. "Now after all, who wants to kill an angel?"

"Hey, it's no joke Charlie. I'm beginning to feel like we're endangered specifies."

"By the way, where's Kelly?"

"Oh, she sends her apologies Charlie. She had a date, couldn't break it."

"Sounds serious."

"We think it is Charlie, she's been very strange lately."

"Who is he?"

"That's just it Charlie, she won't tell us. Just says we'll meet him when the time is right."

"Maybe the next sound we hear will be wedding bells."

"Could be. Kelly says he's the kind of guy she's always wanted to meet."

"Charlie, do you think we ought to start running an ad "Angel wanted"?" Bosley suggested.

"I don't think so Bosley, but just in case I'll start interviewing, right away. Come in my dear!" Charlie said, and they hear the sound of him hanging up the phone.

They all giggled, oh, good ol' Charlie.


They were still sitting, discussing old cases and possible new ones when the phone rang, about an hour later.

"Townsend Agency." Bosley said, clicking on the speaker.

"John, Sabrina, Jill?"

The trio immediately realized something was wrong. They had never heard Charlie sound so stern before.

"What's wrong Charlie?" Sabrina was the first to ask.

"I just got a phonecall from the police. There's been a shooting at the amusement park."

"The amusement park?" Jill asked confused.

"Yes. One of the officers identified Kelly."

"How bad is she?" Bosley quickly asked, as Jill put her hand towards her mouth, and Sabrina dropped her crossword down to the floor.

"They don't know. The bullet seams to have grazed the side of her head, they are bringing her to the hospital as we speak. You should go down, please keep me posted at all times."

"Of course." Bosley said, hanging up the phone.

Sabrina and Jill were already halfway out of the office. Bosley ran after them, hurrying down the stairs.

"Girls, you go down to the hospital, I'll go to the amusement park and talk to the police, then I'll be right with you."

Sabrina and Jill nodded as they got into the cobra and hurried down to the local hospital. In the same time as they ran towards the ER, they saw Kelly being loaded out of the ambulance.


Jill brushed away some tears, she hated seeing her friend sick or hurt. Kelly definitely had a guardian angel watching her, especially after the first shooting. Luckily Skip had been quite far away and since he was so much shorter he'd been shooting upwards, and the bullet had hardly grazed her forehead. When she had woken up a few hours later, she'd seem a lot better than anyone of them had even imagined. And this time, she'd really been lucky. The doctor had told them that if the bullet had hit just an inch to the side, she would be dead. But she was still here with them, and Jill was so grateful to that.

Jill shrugged her shoulders and walked out of the room, decided to check on Kris and Ella. She carefully walked into Ella's room, wondering why they were so quiet. As she looked in, she noticed both Kris and Ella lying down in the bed, Ella buried in Kris' arms, and they were both sleeping peacefully.
