I watch as they zip up the body bag. Its kind of hard to believe that tonight really happened. They instructed me to sit in the back of the ambulance truck, even though I told them I was fine. Was I fine? Nope, I was sad and angry. Call me crazy but I want the people who did this dead.
"Is it alright if I ask you a few questions" I look up and there's a guy standing there. He had light brown skin with light eyes. I couldn't really make out the color.
"What's there to ask? She's dead, the cashiers dead, so it only means the store was robbed."
"Well, how were you the only one to survive?"
"She told me to get down, and I did. I asked her to come to me and she didn't want to. " I still had the shaking in my voice
"Calm down, what's your name?"
"Jennifer Daniels, I'm a doctor at the childrens hospital clinic." I answered.
"Did you see the guys that did it?"
"No, they were wearing masks" I answered. "It all happened so fast."
"Well can you tell me what happened?"
"Me and Evelyn were going shopping for thanksgiving and all of a sudden two guys in black ski masks walk in. They told the cashier to give them money. At the time,me and Evelyn were unseen. She told me to stay quiet, and I told her to come to me. She shook her head and told me to get down. A gunshot went off, and they must have heard her gasp because footsteps followed after. I hid within the isle, then I saw her back up. She said "God will forgive you for your sins." Then they shot her. Evelyn was a saint, she seriously wouldn't hurt anyone. She puts people before herself. Just make sure you find the guys who did it,alright?"
"We will try our best." He said. "Why don't you go home and get some rest?" I nodded and jumped down from the truck. I watched as they secure the crime scene. I'm just going to sleep and hope it was all a dream.
I woke up the next morning feeling pretty bad. I really don't want to go to work today but I don't think there's a doctor that can take my spot. Also Evelyn wouldn't want me to miss work. I toss the sheets over and looked at my feet. My toes were painted a pretty shade of red. I actually think I might call out of work. I'm calling out, I know I shouldn't but I am. I grabbed my cell phone from the night stand.
"Thank you for calling the childrens hospital clinic, this is destiny."
" Hey, its Jen."
"Hey, what's up?"
"Yeah, I'm gonna use one of my sick days today. I'm not really feeling well" I
said.
"You seem fine yesterday," she said.
"Yeah, but it was something that I ate. Can you try to get another doctor in?"
"I can try but since its so close to thanksgiving, people might be away for the
holiday."
"If you can't get anyone to come in, then ill suck it up and come in anyways."
"I will give you a call back after I finish making calls." She said.
"Thanks," I placed my phone on my night table. What am I gonna do? Last night keeps playing I'm my head. The gunshots, our fear, her words. Why did we have to go to the store last night? Why was it her and not me? All I can ask is why?
I get out of the shower, and wrap my towel around my body. My phone vibrates on the night table.
"Did you find someone?" I asked.
"No, everyones busy for thanksgiving." She said.
"What about Dr. Johnson?"
"He's out of the state with his family." She answered.
"Bradshaw?"
"Busy,"
"And you asked everyone?" I questioned, walking out of my room.
"Well,"
"Well what?"
"I didn't ask that new doctor you've been crushing on lately." She said.
"I'm not crushing on him, I just think he's attractive." I informed, walking into my living room. I jump at the sight of the mercer brothers. "Shit!"
"What?"
"I'll call you back,"
"Jen, whats-" I ended the call. I hugged my towel close to me.
"How did you get in?"
" You gave me a key, remember?" Jackie answered.
"Yeah for emergencies, Jackie." I reminded him. My eyes lock with Bobby's. My middle school crush standing in my living room. Both of them I must say. I mostly had a crush on Bobby. I "I'm gonna put some clothes on.". I walked back into my room and went straight for my closet. I put on a pair of sweatpants and a tanktop along with a sweatshirt. As I walked down the hallway, I could hear them talking.
"That's not Jen," Bobby
"Jennifer daniels has glasses, a pizza face, and braces." I walk out from my spot.
"Still talking shit, I see" Crossing my arms.
"Look, Mom's dead." Jackie said.
"I know," I said.
"You knew and you didn't tell us?" Bobby said, getting in my face.
"Get the fuck out of my face," I shoved him causing him to stumble back.
"Have you lost your mind?"
"Fuck you, Bobby." I said, walking into the kitchen area. I grabbed my purse and pulled out a cigarette. Yes, I smoke but in my defense being a doctor is stressful. I placed it into my mouth, and walked into the living room for a lighter. Once the cigarrete was lit, it was time for me to take it all in. My old crush was in my house, Evelyn's dead, and I might have to work. Last thing I need right now is for someone to be yelling at me. I flick the ashes into the ash tray. I gave a heavy sigh, and looked at the three brothers. "Me and Evelyn went to the store to get some stuff for thanksgiving. As were were looking on the shelves two guys with masks came in. They robbed the guy then shot him."
"That doesn'-"
"Evelyn gasped, and they heard her. Moments before she told me to get down and to be quiet. I wanted her to hide with me, but she refused." I continued. "Anyways, I saw her back up, she said a few words then they shot her. I called the ambulance, but she was dead before they arrived. I tried everything I could to keep her alive. After that some detective interviewed me, then I came straight home. I was gonna stay home and figure out a way to tell Jack. I guess someone beat me to it." I finished my cigarette and smooshed it into the ashtray.
"What were the words?" Jerimiah asked.
" 'God will forgive you for your sins.' " I answered. I could see each of the brothers tearing up a bit. "If you guys need anything, I'm here for you."
"Wanna help plan her funeral?" Angel asked.
