Chapter Ten:

Sam sat in her mother's hospital room. Thinking about the nights events.

As they neared Sam's house, Jason and Sam saw the lights from a Paramedic vehicle flashing. Before Jason had totally stopped the car, Sam jumped out and ran up the steps to her home. Just as she made it to the front door, she saw the paramedics wheeling out a person on a gurney. When she saw who the person was, Sam's heart seemed to stop for a moment. Evelyn lied on the gurney, unconscious. She couldn't even move. Krystal wiped the tears on her cheeks away as she saw Sam looking after the gurney, in shock. She walked up to her niece and pulled her into a hug. Sam didn't say anything, just let the tears in her eyes fall.

Jason soon came up to them women, after talking to the paramedics. They didn't know what had happened to Evelyn, they just knew that Krystal had found her unconscious and called nine one one. Jason's heart broke as he looked at Sam and Krystal. They were both crying and holding on to each other for dear life. He walked up to them cautiously and watched as Krystal looked up at him with tear filled eyes, "Jason, can you do me a favor?"

Jason nodded, "I'll take you girls to the hospital."

Sam shook her head as she pulled away from Krystal, "I want to ride with Momma."

Jason shook his head, "Sam, their not allowing anyone to ride with her."

"Bull shit! That's my mother! They can't do that! Please, Krystal, don't let them do this. Can't you tell them that I'm her daughter? Please," Sam begged as Krystal tried to calm her down.

Jason stepped in, "Sam. We'll follow right behind the ambulance okay? Evelyn needs to get checked by the paramedics on the way there. They need all the room they can get."

Sam sniffled as she wiped away some more tears and let Jason lead her and Krystal to his car.

"Please Momma. Wake up. Tell me what happened," Sam said as tears filled her eyes.

She heard the door open and turned to see Krystal and Tony Jones walking into the room. She got up quickly when she saw the upsetting look on Krystal's face, "What happened? What's wrong with my mother?"

"Sam, hunny, please. Sit down okay?" Krystal said, wiping the fallen tears off of Sam's cheeks.

"Tell me Dr. Jones," Sam demanded.

Tony took a deep breath and then said, "Sam, Evelyn was raped."

"What? No. That can't be right. Who would want to hurt Momma? She's been loved by everyone who knows her," Sam said as she shook her head, not believing that someone would want to hurt her mother.

Krystal grabbed Sam's hand gently and squeezed it softly as she motioned Tony to leave. After the door closed, Sam turned back to Evelyn and spoke, "Who could do that to her Aunt Krystal?"

"I don't know Baby Girl. But when Evelyn wakes up, we'll find out. God help whoever did this to her. They will pay for this," Krystal said, looking at her sister's pale face.

Monica walked into her office and was shocked to see Jason sitting on the chair nearest to her desk, "Jason? What are you doing here?"

"Monica, Evelyn McCall was just brought into the emergency ward," Jason said, running a hand through his hair.

"What? Why?" Monica asked, shocked.

Jason looked into his mother's eyes, "She was raped."

Monica's eyes filled with tears as she opened her door and ran out towards the Nurse's station, "Elizabeth, what room is Evelyn McCall in?"

Liz looked into Monica's worried eyes, "She's in room 26."

Jason followed Monica as she made her way to Evelyn's room. She slowly opened the door, preparing herself for what she might see. Sam and Krystal turned when they heard the door open. Sam and Monica's eyes connected as Monica made her way towards Sam and pulled her into a hug, "Samantha. Sweetheart. I'm so sorry."

Sam didn't say anything, she just hugged Monica tightly and let more tears fall from her eyes. The two women pulled apart as the sound of the monitors connected to Evelyn started to go off.
