3 WEEKS LATER

"Logan? Logan??" The voice of Phil echoes through his eardrums making him groan in displeasure.

"P-Phil?" Logan mutters waking up from his slumber.

"Hey man! Finally, you wake up." Phil pats him on the shoulder. Logan quickly widen his eyes raising himself to a sit up motion. A shot of pain travels up his chest making him fall back to the bed.

"Ariel! Where is she?! Have you found her?!" He questions his partner who only shakes his head.

"You should be resting. I'm taking care of the case."

Logan frantically searches around the room. "Somebody came in and shot me. They took Ariel! How could you not find her?!"

Phil places his hand on Logan's chest putting pressure on it. "You need to relax." He tries to make his partner lie back down, but Logan refuses to cooperate.

"I can't rest!" Logan shouts trying to sit up as Phil prevents him. "Get off of me Phil!" He warns. His wound begins to leak out blood into the bandage making him groan from the pain. Logan finally lays back down unable to retain himself.

"I told you I'm taking care of it! Don't you trust your own partner?" Phil shakes his head in a scowl. Logan sighs heavily in a nod.

"We found a dead body in your house. The poor son of a bitch was there at the wrong time." Phil exhales. "We examined the bullet from the side of your stomach. The hand gun that was used was not in the system. They used an unregistered gun."

Logan slams his fist on the bed gritting his teeth. "Anything on Ariel?"

"I'm working on it." Phil reassures him as the doctor walks in.

"Good morning, how's our patient doing?" The woman smiles getting closer to Logan.

"I'm fine. When can I go home?" He replies in a vexed manner.

The doctor looks at the monitor and his recent bleeding wound. "It seems you've opened up a few stitches." She raises an eyebrow looking back at her clipboard. "Mr. Gordon, You've been in a coma for three weeks. The ambulance had to revive you, your heart stopped beating for approximately five minutes." She looks back at her patient who only places his hand on his forehead. "Three weeks..."

"Man, didn't you hear her?! she said you fucking died for five minutes!" Phil shouts.

"I will have to conduct further tests on you. You will be able to go home in a week from now." The doctor smiles writing on her clipboard.

"A week?! No! i'm telling you I'm fine!" Logan snaps trying to sit up from the bed again. "I need to be on this case!"

"I'm sorry Mr. Gordon, the tests are necessary." She lastly says walking out of the room.

"Listen to the doc." Phil walks towards the door. "I'll be right back." He exits leaving Logan alone as he tosses the glass of water on the nightstand in frustration.

FLASHBACK: THREE DAYS AFTER ARIEL'S INJURY

"How is she?!" Ariel and Jordan's father shouts gripping onto the woman's arm.

"S-she's not in a good state, sir." She quivers out of fear as he pushes her against the bed his daughter was in.

"Then fucking explain what's wrong with her!" He slaps the back of her head making her whimper.

The blonde woman nods looking back at him as tears run down her face. "The results came back and she has four fractured ribs, a broken arm, and a ruptured uterus." She signals every part of  his daughter's body.

Sam places her hand over her mouth trying to hold back her tears. "Oh God." She muffles.

"And the baby?!" His shouting becomes louder.  The woman shakes her head looking down at the floor. "I'm sorry."

The man immediately grabs onto the woman beginning to beat her on the face. "What the fuck does that mean?! Huh?!" He continues as the woman screams dropping to the floor.

"Father, stop!" Jordan pulls him away as the woman heavily breathes on the floor. She continues to shake in fright while Sam helps her up.

"She lost the baby! That fucking bitch, she lost it! She didn't even give it a chance!" Jordan's father struggles out of his son's grip. "She's a fucking killer!" He punches Jordan on the jaw making his son bleed from his mouth. "That baby was yours and your fucking sister terminated it!"

The woman widens her eyes from his words. "T-that baby..." She whispers into Sam's ear in a muffle. "Would have too many g-genetic defects..You tell this woman she did nothing wrong."  The woman coughs as Jordan grabs her by the arm, pulling her to the side.

"You said her uterus is ruptured. Can she have children again?"  Jordan and the woman make eye contact while Sam and Jordan's father stare at her.

"I-it's unlikely.."

"Damn it!" Jordan kicks the wall making a hole in it.

Jordan's father pulls out a gun placing it on the back of her head. "Don't fuck with us or I'll fucking kill you, I don't care if you're a doctor!"

"I'm not! I'm not!" She shouts. "Oh God!" She cries. "O-once she has ruptured her uterus it's very unlikely for her to get pregnant again." She tries to explain before she takes one last breath. "I can show you the X- rays!"

"Show me!" He shouts pushing her out of the room leaving Sam and Jordan alone with Ariel.

"What are we gonna do now?!" Jordan whispers at Sam who shakes her head anxiously. "I don't know! I don't know!" She bites down on her lower lip looking at Ariel who is attached to an IV as the monitor beats normally.

"Once my father finds out she can't conceive, she's dead. He's gonna kill her." Jordan heavily sighs walking towards Ariel. "You stupid girl!" He shouts as his eyes become watery. His father comes back with the woman slowly shutting the door behind him.

NOW

"We have to call Logan!" Sam walks towards him. Jordan nods in agreement pulling out his cellphone. "Do you know his number?"

Sam nods beginning to dial Logan's number. "I never forgot it just in case I ever got a phone." She says waiting for her brother to pick up.

"Hello?" Logan's voice sends chills down Sam's body. She's speechless for a moment finally hearing her brother's voice.

"B-brother?" She sniffles, wiping away her tears.

There's silence for a few seconds until Logan replies in a shaky tone. "S-Sam?"

"Logan!" Sam whispers. "I'm alive, I'm still alive!"

"Where are you?!" Her brother frantically shouts through the phone making Sam hold back her tears once again.

"In a ship! They're taking us to India! Please, you have to get us! You have to hurry!" Sam quickly says looking back at Jordan.

"Sam! Is Ariel with you?!" He questions holding onto the railing from the hospital bed.

"Yes! She's here, but she's in a coma or something! I-I don't have much time, he'll be back..." Sam walks towards Ariel placing her hand over her's.

"I'm coming for you two. Don't worry, I promise." Logan puts all of his strength to get back on his feet, but he could only sit up from the side of his bed.

"Logan!" Sam whispers trying to ignore his painful groans. "Whatever you do.... Philip." The signal begins to corrupt making Sam's message unclear.

"What?" Logan questions. "We're breaking up, I can't hear you!"

"Don't.... Philip, don't!" Sam shouts hoping she could hear her last message as footsteps begin to approach the door. "Hurry up, he's coming!" Jordan whispers as he heart beats fasten. Sam hangs up quickly giving the phone back to Jordan.

She begins to put a wet rag on Ariel's forehead beginning to bathe her. Jordan tip toes back his post  watching her from a distance.

~~~~~~~~~~

Hello? Hello?!" Logan shouts making his wound bleed out more. He lowly groans from the stinging pain making him grab onto the side of his stomach.

The door opens as Logan looks back seeing Philip hold onto a cup of coffee. "Didn't I tell you to rest?" He walks towards his partner making Logan tuck his phone under the mattress.

"Go fuck yourself, Phil. I have to take a piss, so help me get to the bathroom." He frowns making Phil walk towards him. His partner places his arm over his shoulder as they begin to walk to the bathroom.
