Hi Guys. You probably have questions about the previous chapters, so I'll try to answer them.
"Jace, put pressure on that cloth so we can try to stunt the bleeding. I don't want her to bled out." Jace put his hand on the cloth with as much pressure as he could but not too much because he didn't want to hurt her anymore than she already was. "Jace, I have a question. Why didn't you take her to the hospital?" Nixon asked.
"I didn't take her to the hospital because before she passed out from the loss of blood, she said she couldn't go to the hospital." Jace told his brother.
"I wonder why." Nixon said out loud as he looked down at Clary.
"I don't know. She passed out right before she told me." Jace said as he grabbed another cloth.
When Jace put the cloth on top of the others, Clary made another noise that sounded like she was in pain. Nixon turned around and said "I need to do an x-ray to see if I can see anything in there." Nixon got his portable x-ray machine and put it right over where Clary was bleeding. "Oh no! Jace, I'm going to have to operate. I'll have to do it as fast as possible because she's losing so much blood."
"Why? What do you see?" Jace asked Nixon, worried. Nixon motioned for Jace to come to where he was staring at the x-ray machine. "Oh! My! Goodness! Are those bullets?" Nixon shook his head yes.
"Yeah, I think she has about four bullets in total. I don't see anymore than that. It looks like they all hit her liver!" Nixon said as he got ready to operate. Jace was really worried about Clary.
"What do you need me to do, Nixon?" Jace asked as he got out of Nixon's way.
"I need you to leave the room while I operate. Wait in the hallway." Nixon got his surgical tools out and when he was prepared he pushed Jace out of the room.
'What should I do? I can't just sit around while Nixon helps Clary.' Jace thought to himself as he paced back and forth. Jace walked paced past the door and heard a really loud noise that sounded like Clary could feel Nixon operating on her.
He stood by the door and listened in. Eventually, he got bored of pacing and sat across from the door and waited for his brother to get him. He must have fallen asleep because his brother was shaking him awake. "Jace! Wake up. The operation is over. She came through it perfectly." His brothers said as he walked downstairs and went to wash his hands.
Jace walked into the room and saw Clary laying there with bandages on her. She didn't look like she was in pain. He sat down next to her and held her hand in his. "Clary, please wake up soon! I'm so worried about you. I want to know who you are."
Jace fell asleep about 20 minutes later. When he woke up, he saw that Clary had turned a dangerous shade of blue. "Nixon! Get up here! I think Clary is going into shock!" Nixon rushed out of his room and into the room where Clary was.
"Jace! Go down stairs and heat up some water!" Nixon yelled at his brother. 'I hope she'll be okay.' Jace thought as he rushed down the stairs.
After about 2 hours, Clary's color came back and Jace and Nixon could finally rest. "Why did that happen?" Jace asked his brother. His brother was staring out the window, thinking to himself, 'There must be something I'm missing.'
"Jace, do you have any other information about her?" Nixon asked Jace as he walked over to the chair on the other side of Clary's bed. Jace and Nixon fell asleep at Clary's bed side. When Jace woke up, he smelled Nixon cooking downstairs. He went into his closet. Since they were in his room, he didn't have to walk far. He put on a fresh pair of jeans and a dark gray shirt. He walked out of his room, down the stairs, and into the kitchen where he saw Nixon eating his breakfast.
"Did you make me any?" he asked his brother. "Yes, it's on the counter." Nixon pointed towards a plate. Jace walked over to it and saw that there was eggs, bacon, toast, and hash browns. He sat down at the counter and ate his breakfast in silence.
Meanwhile upstairs, Clary had woken up. She looked around the room and noticed that no one was there. She sat up and cringed. That's when she looked down and saw the bandages. 'Oh my goodness! I was shoot at again.' Clary thought to herself. She threw her legs over the side and got up. She walked out the bedroom door and she kept walking until she heard voices downstairs.
"I hope she wakes up soon." She knew the voice, it was Jace's.
'I guess I should go downstairs and ask Jace where we are.' Clary thought to herself as she walked down the stairs
While she was walking down the stairs, a sudden burst of pain happened. She couldn't grab the railing in time. She fell down the stairs. When her body finally reached the bottom of the stairs, she couldn't figure out where she was. She was knocked out after she fell down the stairs.
In the kitchen, Jace heard a noise and said to Nixon, "I think Clary is awake." His brother was reading the paper he just shrugged his shoulder and went back to reading his paper. Just then Jace hear a noise on the stairs. He looked up from his breakfast and turned around. He saw that Clary was at the base of the staircase, having a seizure.
"Nixon! Hurry, Clary is having a seizure at the base of the stairs!" Jace yelled at his brother as he bolted out of the kitchen. His brother came rushing to his brother's side holding down Clary so that her body could just go through the seizure. Just then they heard a car. "Who could that be? Jace, go check and see who that is." Nixon told his brother.
Jace looked out the window and saw that it was his sister, Elizabeth. "It's Elizabeth." Jace said to Nixon as he rushed out the door. Jace walked up to his sister and asked, "What at you doing home, Elizabeth?"
"I came home because I needed some more stuff." she said while trying to get around Jace, so she could go in the house.
