She walked through the long corridor of the hospital, my steps tired, my shoulders were drooped in exhaustion and my face held worry unconcealed. I hated hospitals but I had to be here, for her sake. She was family. My family and a little girl. She did not deserve to be alone.She had just returned from work and had come down here as soon as She had finished for the day. She opened the door to the room she was put in, She watched her small frame lying on the bed, ridden by tubes and IVs.Oh, Hailey. Tears blurred my vision.She walked quietly and took my using position by her side, holding her still hands. “Hello, Hailey.”The steady beeping of her heart was the only response I got. The evidence that she was still alive. Barely.My eyes trailed the lines of transparent wires infused into her skin, the liquid treatment trickling from the bag that held the drug into her veins. “Please find a way to fight this, Hailey. Please come back to us alive. Come back to me alive.”I paused to com

Feeling excitement, Leonard opened the door to the luxury car showroom with his heart racing. He had always hoped that he would own a brand new luxury of a car and it was a dream come true standing next t the garage and seeing the beauty of the car. While heading towards the sales counter, he noticed a stylish black sports car and saw the salesman glance up from his phone with a smug grin."Hey pal, do you need assistance?" he inquired, his tone exuding doubt.Leonard squared his shoulders, attempting to exude confidence. Yes, I'm looking to purchase a vehicle. "Specifically that one," he remarked, indicating the sports car with a nod.The salesman arched an eyebrow. Is that the one? Are you referring to the X500 limited edition? "That car costs $100,000, buddy."Leonard nodded firmly, his expression showing his strong resolve. "I am aware." I have conducted my investigation. "I am prepared to buy."The salesman made a snorting sound while looking at his coworker, who observed the i
When Leonard answered the phone, his heart raced because he assumed it was simply another standard check-in from the school. However, the severe tone of the principal's voice on the other end chilled him to the bone. "Leonard , you must come to the school right now. Gigi , your son, carried a gun to school." As Leonard stopped on the side of the road and stared at the wet pavement from the rain, his thoughts went blank. It was as if someone had hit him in the stomach. "What? How did this come about?" He stammered, anxiety vibrating in his voice. "We need you to come in and figure this out even though we're not sure yet. The principal stated firmly, "The cops are on their way."As Leonard sped back towards the school on the motorcycle, his mind was racing. Worst-case possibilities raced through his head, and fear weighed heavily in his heart. How could his son, his innocent, loving boy, have done such a thing? He noticed the police cars and ambulances with their lights blazing
He had the impression that he was trapped in a bad dream with no way out. In his living room, he paced back and forth, attempting to make sense of it all. But his confusion increased with further reflection. He heard the door open at that very moment, and his wife Matilda entered with a worried expression on her face. "What's going on, Leonard ? I noticed the police vehicles outside."Leonard 's gaze met hers as he looked for clarification. "Matilda , we need to talk." She set down her suitcase and approached him, concern shining in her eyes. "What is it?" Leonard inhaled deeply as he searched for the appropriate words. "In Gigi 's backpack, the cops discovered a gun. And it's owned by a detective by the name of Danny .""Oh Detective Danny , such a good man." She mentioned with a smile on her face, leaving Leonard in shock."I am talking about a man's gun in our bedroom with his Id card. What are you talking about?" Leonard questioned."Hey listen to me, I don't like it wh
"I'm sure that he must be feeling so sad right now, should I spite things up by going to his office to celebrate this victory with him? He might find out that I'm the one that stole that brown envelope but who cares? He'll learn not to ever mess with me again" I soliloquied as I lied down in my bed scrolling through my phone.I was about to call my girls when my father strolled in to my room in all smiles, he was looking so handsome in his blue fitted two piece Armani suit and a black leather shoe."Good morning, off to work, daddy?"I asked string at him and he smiled."Yes, dear. I have some things to settle in office" he muttered as he checked his wrist watch, I can never understand this man. I feel bad about what I did because I realized that this business plan is a great one for it to make my father as successful as this, it would have made Leonard more successful and he would have been pulled out of this mess his company is in, I'm sure that he'll never forgive me if he finds
I didn't think I'd get lost in the streets of Los Angeles. I looked everywhere for a way to get to this place. I was distracted by the man's words and neglected to take a photo of the building. I walked back a little and heard a faint scream coming from the tunnel. I thought about going ahead for a moment, but then the male voice that followed told me something was wrong. I ran towards the tunnel and found a group of boys assaulting an innocent young woman. She was intimidated by their presence, and their fear fuelled her. “Get your hands off her!” Everyone stopped and looked in my direction. “So who are you to tell us what to do?” asked one of the gang members. I assumed the man was the leader. The tattoo on the right side of his hand confirmed what I already knew: they were a gang. “Listen, I don’t want to smoke with any of y
When I came out of the secret room, I noticed that she was concentrating on her phone until I called her name. She then looked up at me and smiled. "You spent hours there," she said, as the other boys also left the room. "I had to do something," I replied. "I also noticed someone screaming in there. What was that? I stared at her for a while, trying to gather myself. "Maybe it's coming from the wrong room. I mean, look around, this company has a few rooms. Come on, let's go to my office." I offered my arm and she took it and we walked down the hallway until we reached my office. The moment the door opened, a very familiar face sat next to the couch and a large cigar box was on the table. "A Jew! I frowned when I saw him, but he knew it right away the moment he saw Skyler behind me." “Who is this fat bitch next to you?” I hea
