Reliving The Past

Chapter 19

Then ambulance rolls up. And are escorted into the house. At this time, Elizabeth has gone unconscious again. But Audrey believes the bleeding has slowed down from the pressure she has applied. As they get the IV in her and check the wound, it looks to be a thru and thru. So no worries about the bullet moving around inside her if they move her. But she had lost quite a bit of blood. Just as they are putting her on the gurney, Laura shows up. Audrey and Laura hug as they watch Elizabeth being wheeled out of the house. Laura goes to the kitchen where the boys are.

"How are you my little loves?" She pastes a smile on.

"Grandma Laura, is my mom ok?" Cam asks, trying to get back out to the living room.

"Honey, your mom is ok. They just have to take her to the hospital. Are you ok?" Laura holds his shoulders to stop him from leaving and to try to look in his eyes.

"I'm fine. My mom saved me and then saved Aidan. Can Jake and Aidan stay with Gram Audrey and we go to the hospital? Please Grandma Laura. We didn't get to finish our conversation. I want my mom to know everything." Cam looked so grown up to Laura. This made her sad and proud at the same time.

"Ok. If your Gram Audrey is ok with staying here with your brothers, then I will take you to see her." Laura hugs Cameron. After Audrey went upstairs to wash her hands and change her shirt, she rushes into the kitchen.

"How are you boys?" Audrey's face is panicked.

"They are fine Audrey. Cam has asked for me to take him to the hospital. Would it be ok for the boys to stay with you while we go to the hospital?" Laura asks, knowing that Audrey is worried about Liz and wants to be three.

"Well, I was thinking that maybe we should all go to the hospital. I'm sure Aidan would love to see June. She's his favorite daycare caretaker. And maybe Jake would like to go draw something with Jace. Kevin and Max might want to join you too. I just really need to be there to see her as well. We can't stay here until the glass is all cleaned up." Audrey messes with Aidan's hair while staring blankly.

"Audrey, are you ok? Maybe we should all going to the hospital. I think that's a good idea. Let me go see if the police will let us all leave." Laura heads to the other room. By then, Nathan has shown up.

"Detective West, may I take the boys and Audrey to the hospital? I, of course would like the body guards to join us. Cameron and Audrey really need to see Elizabeth. Aidan is fine, but Jake might be having a little trouble. He hasn't said anything. I would like to get them out of here." Laura looks to him for approval.

"I will have to keep Kevin and Max here. I still have questions for them. But I don't see why you all can't go to the hospital. We will need statements from Audrey and the other guards, but I doubt nothing with change in a few hours. I will stop by the hospital after I am done here. Do you know how Elizabeth is doing?"

"They said something about a thru and thru. But Audrey slowed the bleeding down. Can you keep an officer here until someone comes to fix the window? I know that Audrey isn't thinking about this, but this guy could come back and go traipsing around her house. Taking anything that he or she wants." Laura is trying to think about everything.

"Sure. We have a few 24/7 glass and lock people we work with. I would assume you would take your car. I'm not sure whose car was hit by bullets. Can you take 7 people in your vehicle?" Nathan is writing notes and listening.

"Yeah, I have a minivan. But I think Dante and Lulu need to be called. Oh and Franco for Jake. If he's not doing well, then Franco can get him better. Those two have a bond." Laura digs into her pocket for her cellphone.

Meanwhile, in the kitchen, Cam calls Ric. Cam isn't a fan of Franco, but he still likes Ric.

"Hello?"

"Ric, it's me Cam." Cam pauses.

"Hey Cam, how are you doing? What's up?" Ric says, trying to be cool for Cam.

"Ric, my mom was shot. Can you meet us at the hospital? I'm scared. I want someone there that is a man." Cameron tries to keep the emotions under control.

"Sure. Who's with you?" Ric tries to get info.

"Gram Audrey and Grandma Laura. They shot at us out in the lawn. Mom covered me. Then we got inside." Cameron starts to cry.

"Hey, hey buddy. It's ok. You just be good for your Grandmas. I will see you there. WE can talk then. Just stay calm. Can you do that? For your little brothers? Then we can talk all about this." Ric feels so helpless for Cam.

"Yes. Grandma Laura went to see if it was ok for us to leave." Cam sounds a little numb know. This makes Ric a little nervous.

"Ok. You just hang in there and I will see you there very soon. Cameron, I love you." Ric waits.

"I love you too." Then hangs up. Then he decides to text Emma Drake.

'Emma, my mom's been shot. Will you pray for her?'

'Cam, are you ok? Sure I will pray for your mom. How is she?'

'She's ok for now. But they just took her. I'm scared. My dad isn't here. My Gram Audrey is not acting right. Grandma Laura is all about Jake and Aidan. But I need to talk to my mom. I didn't get to tell her everything in our conversation. She pulled me to the ground and covered me with her body.'

'Cam, she will be ok. She works at General Hospital. They will do everything they can for her. They all love her like you love her. Isn't Mr. Lansing around? He was your friend, right?'

'Yeah. I called him. He's going to be there. But I just don't like this. I have a bad feeling. Nothing seems to make it better.'

'Cam, you went through a bad thing. It could just be nerves.'

Before Cam can respond, his phone rings.

"Hello?"

"Cam, its Emma. I just wanted to hear your voice. I'm sorry I can't be there for you. But you can call me any time. It's summer so I'm sure mom and dad won't mind. They are friends with your mom." Emma tries to calm him some. Make him feel less alone.

"Emma, you are a good friend. Thank you for being so nice. Oh my Grandma Laura is coming. I will call you back soon. Thank you."

"You're welcome Cameron. Be safe." She hangs up. He puts his phone back in his pocket.

"Ok. Let's go get into my vehicle and go to the hospital." Laura ushers them all out to the vehicle. They pile in and are on their way.
