In the last chapter.....

**********Flashback*********

"Mr. Johnson? It's Detective Rollins, we found your wife." He said.

"Thank God. Is she ok?" Dwayne asked.

"Yes and no." Rollins said.

"What the fuck do you mean yes and no?!!!" Dwayne snapped.

"Please.....just meet me at the emergency department of Ascension Sacred Hospital and I'll explain everything." He said.

"Ok....Joe and I are on the way." Dwayne said.

After Dwayne hung up, he turned to Joe.....

"Jasmine's in the hospital." He said.

Just then, Joe's face turned red, his nostrils started flaring and he began shaking.....

"Somebody's gonna fucking die!!!!" Joe growled through clenched teeth.
*************End Flashback**************
Dwayne and Joe were on their way to the hospital, and as they were traveling, each man had their own personal reflection......

Dwayne's POV

I can't believe it, I think I'm in a bad dream and I can't wake up from the shit. Jasmine is in the hospital because she's probably hurt. I'm feeling so many emotions right now, I can't think straight. I'm worried, scared and pissed off all at the same time. But I know I got to keep it together, not just for Jasmine, but for myself and especially Joe. I mean, he has the look in his eyes so evil that it would scare the devil himself. He has a look of wanting to murder any and everyone who stands in his way. Hell, I would put it past him to slit my throat if I were to stop him, not that I would because I want to murder the asshole who took my wife too. I just pray that she's OK and the babies are too.

Joe's POV

Man....all I know is if one single hair was harmed on my baby girl's head, blood is gonna be spilled. There is gonna be a bloodbath on the streets of Pensacola, Florida, and I mean that from the very bottom of my heart. Dwayne is trying to keep me calm, but the only thing that will calm my spirit is knowing that my wife and baby are OK and healthy, and she is only at the emergency room to be evaluated.

As Dwayne and Joe pull up to the emergency room, they look at each other with silent understanding that they were both anxious about Jasmine's well-being. Feeling Joe getting tense, Dwayne spoke up.....

"Joe...whatever you do...please remain calm." Dwayne warned.

"Look, I ain't promising shit!!!! If baby girl has so much as a paper cut, I'm destroying everything in sight!!" Joe growled through clenched teeth.

All Dwayne could do was shake his head, as they headed into the hospital. When they arrived, they were greeted by Detectives Rollins and Moxley....

"Hey, we're so glad to see you." Moxley said. "These quick thinking gentlemen brought your wife in." Pointing to Mark and Steve who were sitting down.

At that moment, Joe lost it....

"WHERE'S JASMINE!!! WHERE DA FUCK IS MY BABY GIRL!!!! HUH?!!! SOMEBODY BETTA TELL ME SOMETHING BEFORE I FUCK SHIT UP!!" Joe screamed so loud, everyone in the hospital heard him, prompting security to see what the commotion was about.

"Mr. Anoa'i, I need you to calm down." Moxley said, quietly in an attempt to calm him down.

"Man...Don't fucking tell me to calm down. I wanna know where my muthafuckin' wife is and if she's alright!!!" Joe snapped.

"Joe! Calm down a second!!!" Dwayne interjected. "Detectives, who brought her in?"

"These gentlemen right here." Detective Moxley said, as he gestured at Mark and Steve. "Fellas, can you tell us what happened?"

"Well, Mark and I here are truck drivers and we had just dropped a load off and was headed back to Dallas where we're from." Steve explained. "As we're driving down the road approaching the highway, this Mercedes SUV door opened and the little gal tumbled out and rolled into ditch. We pulled over and went over to see what the hell happened. Poor little gal looked like she'd been beaten up. Her face was all busted up, she was crying and shaking like a leaf." Steve finished as he shook his head.

At that moment, Dwayne's face turned red and both he and Joe let out growls that sounded animalistic.

"Oh my god!!! No!!! This can't be real!!!" Dwayne yelled in anguish. "What the fuck?! She's fucking 7 months pregnant!!!! What kind of depraved monster does this kind of shit?!!!"

Joe didn't say anything, but kept pacing the corridor, grabbing his hair and snarling.

"Did you all see who was driving the car?" Detective Rollins asked.

"No, but we did get a license plate number." Mark said, pulling a piece of paper from his pocket and giving it to him.

"Ok great, I'll have this ran and we're gonna find the assholes that did this." Moxley said.

Just then, a young bald doctor approached them...

"Are you all the family of Jasmine Anoa'i?" He asked.

"Anoa'i-Johnson." Dwayne corrected.

"My apologies. My name is Dr. Corbin, and I'm the chief resident of Emergency Medicine." He said.

Just then, Joe stopped pacing and rushed up to the doctor.

"Where is she?! Where's my wife?!" Joe yelled.

"Um...she's currently in surgery, we had to transfer her to the operating room.

"WHY?!!" Joe screamed. "WHY THE FUCK IS MY BABY IN GODDAMN SURGERY?!!! HUH?!!"

"Well, sir, she sustained blunt trauma to her abdomen and sustained significant blood loss." Dr. Corbin explained. "Dr. Copeland is one of our best surgeons, so she's in good hands. I also noticed that she's pregnant and Dr. Shareef is her OB/GYN, so I've notified her and she's on her way."

"This has to be some horrible nightmare." Dwayne said   in disbelief. "When can we see her?"

"Well, as I said, we just took her to surgery, so it's going to be at least a couple of hours, depending on how the surgery goes and her time in recovery." He said.

At that moment, Dr. Shareef and Malinda entered the emergency department....

"Dwayne! Joe! How's Jasmine?" Dr. Shareef asked, her face etched in concern.

"They took her to surgery." Dwayne said sadly.

"Hi. Dr. Shareef? I'm Dr. Corbin, we spoke on the phone." He said, as he shook her hand.

"Dr. Corbin, yes we did. How is Jasmine?" Dr. Shareef asked.

"Well, she is in surgery now. Dr. Copeland is working on her now." He said.

"Oh good." Dr. Shareef said. "My God, what happened? Her number dialed me and when I answered I heard yelling, screaming and a scuffle!"

Just then Detectives Rollins and Moxley interrupted....

"Apparently, she was attacked by an unknown assailant. Hi, my name is Detective Rollins and this is my partner, Detective Moxley. And your name ma'am?" He said, extending his hand.

"I'm Dr. Shareef, Jasmine's obstetrician and this is Malinda, my midwife." She replied.

At that moment, an announcement came over the hospital intercom.....

"May I have your attention....code blue O.R 3....code blue O.R 3....code blue O.R 3..."

Dr. Shareef, Malinda and Dr. Corbin all looked at each other with worry in their eyes.

"Oh no, I hope it's not....let's go Malinda!!" Dr. Shareef said, as she, Dr. Corbin and Malinda ran off.

"Nurse Edwards, grab the crash cart!!" Dr. Corbin yelled.

Mark and Steve look at each other confused......

"What the hell was that?" Steve asked.

"I dunno." Mark said. "Hey detectives what's going on? Why they run off?"

"Sounds like somebody is having a medical emergency in the operating room." Moxley said.

Just then, Dwayne and Joe looked at each other with worry on their faces. Could Jasmine be in trouble? They thought.

At that moment, Mark and Steve stood up.

"Well, we got to head back to Texas. We have another delivery coming up in a few days that we have to take to Chicago. Here, we're gonna give you our phone numbers. Can you please call or text us and update us on the little lady?" Mark said as he wrote their numbers on a piece of paper.

"Sure..we can." Dwayne said, taking the paper and putting it in his pocket.

"Thanks a lot. I hope she gets better." Mark said to Dwayne.

"Yeah me too and I hope y'all catch the sorry bastard, that done this!!!" Steve said to the detectives.

"Oh we will." Rollins said.

At with that, Mark and Steve left the hospital.

Dr. Shareef and Malinda rushed to the surgical department to get more details. Dr. Corbin was following closely behind with Nurse Edwards from the Emergency Department.

"Hey there, what's going on? Who coded?" Dr. Shareef asked Nurse San Jose.

"Um....let me check..." She said. "It was Jasmine Anoa'i-Johnson."

At that moment, Dr. Shareef, Dr. Corbin and Malinda faces dropped.

Just then, Dr. Copeland emerged from the surgical suite....

"Dr. Shareef?" Dr. Copeland said.

"Yes?" She replied.

"C-Can I talk to you in private for a second?" He asked.

"Sure." She said, as she stepped into the physician's conference room.....

Meanwhile in the Emergency Department....

"What the hell is going on?! Why the fuck did Dr. Shareef and Malinda run off, when they announced that code. Mannnn...somebody betta tell me something before I WRECK this fucking hospital!!!!!" Joe yelled, losing his temper once again.

"Joe!!! Calm the fuck down!!!! I'm not gonna tell you again!!" Dwayne said, as he slammed his fist down on the counter again losing his patience.

"Gentlemen, please calm down. I'm sure we will get answers soon." Rollins said.

At that moment, Dr. Corbin, Dr. Shareef, Dr. Copeland, and Malinda returned to the ER with serious looks on their faces.

"Hey Dr. Corbin?" Detective Rollins said. "Is everything ok?"

Dr. Corbin took a deep breath and sighed......

"I-I think it would be better if Dr. Shareef and Dr. Copeland explain everything." He said, seriously his head hanging down as he went to see another patient.

Dwayne and Joe just looked at each other....

Just then, Dr. Shareef called out....

"Dwayne...Joe....can you come with me for a second?" Dr. Shareef said.

"What's going on?!" Dwayne said in a panic.

"Please just come with me." She said.

Dwayne and Joe then reluctantly followed her to the physician's lounge, where Dr. Copeland was waiting and sat them down.

"Hi, I'm Dr. Copeland. I performed surgery on your wife. That code blue you heard was indeed her in distress. Her heart stopped during the procedure, but the good news is that we were able to resuscitate her and get her back. She is a fighter, so I expect her to make a full recovery." He explained. "However...."

"However? However what?!" Dwayne asked nervous.

And that's when Dr. Shareef spoke up...

"Due to the massive blood loss, the fact that Jasmine went into shock which caused initially her heart to stop and the trauma to her abdomen..." Dr. Shareef took a deep breath and then said....

"The babies did not survive. I'm so very sorry."

"Both of them are..." Dwayne asked as tears sprang in his eyes.

"Yes, I'm afraid so." Dr. Shareef said sadly.

"Where is she?" Joe asked, tears in his eyes.

"She's in a medically induced coma, we did that so that her body can rest and heal. I recommend 7 days to prevent any further complications. She was beaten pretty badly in her abdomen. If it hadn't been for those two truck drivers finding her when they did,  she would have died as well." Dr. Copeland explained.

Dwayne and Joe closed their eyes as tears ran down their faces.

"Can we see her?" Dwayne said.

"Of course, she's in the ICU. They only want one visitor, but I talked to the nurse manager to make this exception and it's fine." Dr. Shareef said.

At that moment, Dwayne and Joe went to the ICU, and went into Jasmine's room and what they saw broke their hearts. She was hooked up to monitors, she had a tube down her throat and machines were beeping. As they looked at her was pregnant abdomen, they saw that her stomach was now flat, reminding them of the loss of their children.

"Muthafuckin' bodies are gonna start droppin' and there's about to be a fucking bloodbath in the city of Pensacola!" Joe vowed through clenched teeth as tears continued to stream down his face and into his beard.

Dwayne looked up at him and with tears running down his face, nodded in agreement.
