10:00PM

"I need to see him", said Jordan.

"Ma'am you can't go into the operating room", said one of the nurses.

Jordan walked to the window and saw them working on Tyquez.

"Mommy? Is daddy going to be okay?", asked Marcus.

"I don't... I don't know sweetie", said Jordan as she starred at everything going on.

Marcus hugged Jordan's leg as he started crying.

Will walked through the door.

"What happened", asked Will.

"We can't all gather out here", said Jordan.

"Is he still alive?", asked Will he looked through the the window. "Damn"

"Don't say that", said Jordan.

"Say what?", asked Will.

"Say damn like things look bad", said Jordan. 

"Are we looking at my brother?", asked Will.

Jordan looked down.

Tyquez's mom walked in.

"Wheres my baby?", asked Tyquez's mom.

Tyquez's mom walked to the window and cover her mouth.

"I can't lose anybody else", said Tyquez's mom. "Lord please save my son"

"...I'm so sorry", said Jordan.

"Why are you sorry?", asked Will as he looked at Jordan.

"This is...this is my fault", said as she started tearing up. "I should've just left him alone."

"Jordan, don't talk like that okay,", asked Tyquez's mom.

"Who did this?", asked Will.

Jordan looked at Alexis and at Marcus before she spoke.

"I - I don't know", said Jordan. "It was dark. I couldn't see. I just heard the gunshots and I didn't see anybody. I was so focused on Quez"

A nurse walked up to them.

"I'm going to have to ask you guys to wait in the lobby", said the nurse.

Will and Jordan started walking away.

"No!", Tyquez's mom shouted as the EKG line went flat.

Will and Jordan looked back.

The doctors began to perform CPR with the defibrillator.

Tyquez's mom started to pray.

Jordan didn't see what was going on but she knew it was bad.

After the second shock, Tyquez's heart started beating again.

"He's okay, he's okay", said the nurse as she touched Tyquez's mom back. "They are trying their best to stabilize him so as they do, you all need to wait in the lobby. We will keep you up to date on everything. I promise"

Tyquez's mom walked away with Will and Jordan.

11:30PM

Tyquez's mom, Alexis, Marcus and Will are in the hospital room with Tyquez.

"Where's Jordan?", asked Tyquez.

"She had to food and diapers for Alexis", said Tyquez's mom.

"So...why didn't she take her with her?", asked Tyquez.

"I don't know honey. But I am so glad you're alright", said Tyquez.

"You know you died right? Like that shit went flat", said Will.

Tyquez chuckles.

"Oh shut up. That isn't funny", said Tyquez's mom.

Tyquez stops laughing.

"She shouldn't have left", said Tyquez.

"...man who shot you anyway?", asked Will.

"Jordan didn't tell you?", asked Tyquez.

"Tell us what?", asked Will.

"Hakeem broke out of prison..he didn't shoot me. Someone else did. I don't know who but I'm sure Hakeem told them too", said Tyquez.

"Jordan said she didn't see anyone", said Will.

"Jordan lied because he threatened to hurt the kids", said Tyquez. "That's the only thing I remembered him saying before I past out"

"No matter what happened, I'm glad that you are okay", said Tyquez's mom.

Tyquez looked at Marcus. Marcus looked miserable.

"Come here Marcus", said Tyquez.

Marcus walked to the head of the bed.

"Are you okay?", asked Marcus.

"I am perfectly fine. Don't worry about that", said Tyquez before he covered Marcus's ears. "Somebody needs to call Jordan. I don't trust that nigga and she might do something stupid"

"I'll go to the house. She has been gone for a little minute", said Will.

"Please", said Tyquez.

Will stood up and walked out of the room.

"Can you call her. I wanna talk to her", said Tyquez.

Tyquez's mom pulled her phone out and called Jordan. Jordan's phone went straight to voicemail.

"Oh my god", said Tyquez as he sighed.

"I'm sure her phone just died", said Tyquez's mom.

"That's even worse. If her phone died that means she can call out or maybe it died because he snatched her up.", said Tyquez.

"Tyquez—"

Tyquez began to have a seizure.

Tyquez's mom quickly stood up and pulled Marcus away.

"Somebody help!", shouted Tyquez's mom.

The nurses came into the room.

(WITH WILL)

Will walked up to the house and the door is cracked out. He rushed inside the house and looked around.

"Jordan?!", he called.

Will jogged upstairs after getting no response.

"Jordan!", he called again.

As he walked he began to hear crying. When he followed the cry, it lead him to the bathroom.

He saw blood on the floor and quickly opened the door.

Hakeem is laying on the floor with a knife in his chest and Jordan is sitting against the wall, crying.

"Oh shit", Will said under his breath.

"Everything happened so fast. I just...I was threatening him with the knife and he - he-"

"No need to explain alright", said Will. "Just calm down. We are going to handle this."

"Tyquez probably hates me", said Jordan.

"No he doesn't. He was worried about you", said Will.

"He thinks I cheated on him because Hakeem was in the house. He was in the house around my baby girl last night", said Jordan.

"What?", asked Will.

"Nothing", said Jordan.

Will pulled his phone out and called 911.
