Thanks to Blueeyedauthor for the review. I have noticed the reviews have kind of dropped off. If something isn't working with my story please let me know. I am always looking for ways to improve. Anyway on with this chapter.
Kane dialed the number she had committed to memory long ago. Three rings went by until Don's voice answered. "Hey Stella. Are you with Kane yet?"
"Don it's me."
"Kandice are you okay? How's Caleb?" His voice had signs of panic.
"I'm okay. But I don't know about Caleb. They rushed him in. Stella jest went to look for someone. What about you? Did you get him?"
"Yea we got him. We'll be at the hospital in a little while."
"Why? What happened? Are you okay? Oh my God, Don." She flew into hysterics.
"Calm down Kandice. I'm fine but Hobbs isn't. He tried. He tried shooting me. It took all I had not to kill him."
"What did you do?" Kane said calmer.
"Just a leg shot. He'll be well soon enough. And I did everything to the letter. He won't be getting away for this. I promise."
"Thank you don. But please be careful." Stella and a doctor walked in the room. "Sorry don I got to go."
"Okay I'll be there soon."
"Don."
"Yea?"
"I love you."
"I love you too Kandice."
Kane wiped away a few tears then handed the phone back to Stella. Now she turned her attention to the doctor.
"Detective Axel I'm Doctor Steven Dent. I will be performing surgery on your brother."
"Do you know how much damage was done?"
"Not yet. We know that there is no exit wound and we believe it to be in his lower back area."
"Okay."
"We are going to do everything we can to help your brother."
"Thank you doctor." He gave her a reassuring smile then left the two CSI's alone.
Mac and Dylan arrived a few minutes after a nurse gave Kane paperwork to fill out. Kane made sure Dylan was in one piece then hugged him tightly. She did the same with Mac then thanked him for looking out for Dylan. Him and Stella soon left to go process the scene Kane had just left. She also gave them her clothes in hopes of locating where she was being held.
"You hear anymore about Caleb?" Dylan asked.
"No. 15 minutes ago the doctor said he was performing surgery to find the bullet and see the damage."
"He's going to be okay." Kane could tell he was saying it more to reassure himself more than her.
"Kandice!" The high pitch squeal. The mispronunciation of her name. That could be only one little girl. Kane turned just in time to catch her little sister in a hug. Carly was crying which made more tears come to Kane's eyes. The little girl finally started to calm down, then she asked for Dylan. Kane handed her over so she could talk to Lindsay who quietly entered the room.
"Thank you so much Lindsay. I hope she wasn't too much trouble."
"She was fine. We colored. How's your brother?" She asked quietly.
"Still no word. Does she know?" Kane said referring to Carly.
"No. I didn't know if you wanted me to or not."
"It's fine. I'll tell her." Kane turned to find Carly was still in Dylan's arms. "Carly can we talk?"
The little girl nodded then motioned for her sister to carry her. Dylan and Lindsay quietly left the room to get water. Then thought it best to let the sisters talk considering they had a strong bond.
Delicately, Kane explained to Carly that Caleb was hurt very badly and that the doctors were trying to help him. Carly took the news as expected. She cried and tried to understand. After some time both sisters calmed down. Dylan and Lindsay soon returned with Adam who was carrying a large duffel bag.
"I hope you don't mind but I asked your land lord to open your apartment so I could get you some clothes." Adam said timidly.
"It's okay Adam. Thank you. Whatever you grabbed will be better than these scrubs."
"I also got some things for your brothers."
"Thanks man." Kane opened the bag to find half of her wardrobe and half of her brother's inside the bag. She began to laugh.
"What the hell Adam? Did you grab everything?" The laughing continued. Though the situation wasn't that funny everyone joined in.
"Well I wasn't sure if you'd be cold or hot or what you liked. I got a little of everything."
"I'm surprised you didn't put my bathing suit in here too." Kane said through the laughs. The laughs continued as she and Dylan pulled out what they chose to wear. Finally, the laughs subsided. Adam then Lindsay was pulled into a hug by Kane. "Thank you so much. I don't know what we'd do without you all."
"You'd still have to wear those stiff scrubs for one thing." Adam said. The room erupted into giggles.
Finally Kane calmed down enough to run to the bathroom and change. Dylan went as soon as she got back. Now all they could do was wait. Wait for their parents, Don, and most importantly Caleb.
