Chapter 17
*MC NARRATOR SPEAKING*
Police cars sounds were left heard at Santiago, Jordan in the so-called Lost Place of Santiago where unhoped people get a chance to live and unlawful acts are performed. This is where the outlaws live, the smokers, smugglers, robbers, raiders, criminals.
Samantha Jacobs can be seen laying on a stretcher while being pushed inside an ambulance along with Khai Crunos who have multiple bandages around his right arm and white strips scattered in his naked upper body.
"I'll be with her," Khai said to the woman in a white overall suit. They both nodded while getting inside.
*Sirens*
On the other side, Danny with six men were handcuffed while being pushed into police cars.
INSIDE THE AMBULANCE.
"Sam you're safe now, don't worry you're safe," Khai whispered as he lies down to face Sam's sided face. It was pale and dried. But Khai managed to see a smile before his eyes turned out.
"Mr!" the woman in uniform neared and slightly tapped Khai's cheeks. Yet he was not awakened and declared blacked out. He must've poured all his strength into what happened earlier fighting men to save Samantha.
AFTER TWENTY MINUTES.
*HOSPITAL*
The patients were moved out of the ambulance. Both were unconscious.
Suddenly, a man came in. He is in a businessman suit. Still with the tie and polo.
"I am looking for this man," he asked showing a picture of a young man's face in the nurse station. Turned out that it was Khai's. He is the personal assistant of his father in the company.
The man signed some papers and went on to enter a room. Khai was still lying on the bed. Then after a minute, the door opened.
Ariane was seen standing at the door surprised that his brother is there for real. She could not believe her father and came to check out if it was really real that Khai is hospitalized.
The man stood. "Your father sent me," he said but Ariane was not there to care for the assistant's opinion, therefore, ignoring him like he does not exist in the room. Instead, she neared Khai.
"What happened to you," she asserted. While in panic, Ariane grabs her phone and dialed someone. "Hey, come to the hospital my brother needs you!" she cried.
"Miss, your brother needs rest," the assistant reminded Ariane as if the girl is not looking for the betterment of his brother's situation. And perhaps, the assistant had been working for the family for long years and knows what Ariane's real intentions were for phone calling her best friend.
Instead of listening, Ariane looked at him angrily. "Yes, and I am here to take good care of him! And so does his girlfriend!" she yelled. Ariane educated the man instead.
"Girlfriend?" Someone murmured. Khai is now awakened by his sister's exclamations.
"Oh. Sorry to wake you up," Ariane sided to give her brother a proper look. "I already called her over."
"Where is Sam?" Khai asked the assistant ignoring Ariane. He removes the blanket and tries to get out of the bed but only to feel the hurt in his right hand. "Damn it!" Khai expressed.
"Why would you look for Sam?" A girl just entered. "And what the hell happened to you?"
Khai moved his attention from Kerry to Ariane. Twice. Then looks at the assistant. "Why the fuck are they here?" he asked angrily.
"What happened and why are there so many police cars outside?" Kerry tempts impatient by Khai's ignorable act to her. "Tell me, I can help you with it? I can call father right away," Kerry pushed herself too much to be noticed while Khai struggles to walk away.
Khai continues to walk while three people follow him. The assistant finally decided to help him.
They all walked out of the room and Khai asked one of the nurses who happened to pass by. "Do you know where is Samantha Jacobs's room?"
"Room 47 Female Ward." Then walked away.
"Samantha? The new girl?" Kerry exclaimed. She looked at Ariane but her best friend shrugged her shoulder.
"I don't know what happened," Ariane said.
To get into Samantha's room, they had to walk past the main door taking the left-wing hallway. But before they could reach it. A noise from the outside caught their attention.
"What happened to my daughter!!" A woman cries out.
Turns out that it was Sarah who just came in time from L.A. right after she received a call from a certain someone telling that Samantha was in the hospital after an incident happened.
Khai rushed out to see Sarah explaining what happened while the police invites him back to his room to have a proper discussion.
"Where is Sam, I need to see her?" Sarah asked Khai.
"Room 47 Female Ward," Khai answered right away.
"Excuse me but I need to see my daughter," Mrs. Jacobs excused herself. Then Sarah separated running into the hallway while Khai and the police went on the other side.
Sarah held her emotions urging to see Samantha's condition. Two police were standing by the door. "May we ask who?"
"I'm the mother," Sarah responded quickly.
Right as she entered the room, she see two girls roaming around the patient, unsure if she was Samantha, her daughter.
"Serves you right for stealing Khai from me," Kerry said to herself avoiding anyone to hear her. Not even Ariane who was crossing her arms facing the patient in bed.
"Who are you?" Mrs. Jacobs who just entered confusedly asked.
The two girls seemed shocked to see a woman behind them.
Then here comes the pretentious act.
"Oh hi," she smiled perfectly. "We're her friends," Kerry immediately said before Mrs. Jacobs could speak another word for suspicion.
"Hello, nice to meet you. I'm her mom," Mrs. Jacobs even gave them a shake.
"Ok. Nice to meet you too. We just came in to see if she was fine," Kerry said and can't stop peeping at Ariane who was going with the flow of the situation.
"Yeah." Ariane finally said.
Sarah just smiled. Then she walks past them to look at the patient lying.
It was a good chance for them to excuse themselves. "We're going," the ladies said their goodbye and proceeded by the door.
Sarah rushed to look at Samantha lying on the bed. Her heart rate raises as she looked down at her daughter with a less pale face. There is still the mark of tears flowing from the side of her eyes. "What happened, sweetie? What were you doing in that place?" She could only blabber at her sleeping child while hugging her in the bed.
Then the doctor finally came in. They converse.
*Sarah and the doctor talking*
After the conversation, the police barged in. It was the chief police who came to see the situation.
"Hello ma'am, this is Cheif Police Officer Albert from the Main office of City of Jordan Police Department," the man introduced himself along with other police in the background popping his palm for a shake.
*Sarah and chief police Albert talking*
On the other side, Ariane and Kerry went back to see Khai who was at the right time finished talking with the police.
"Were you with Samantha?" Ariane asks her brother.
Again, Khai ignores the girls as if no one talked.
Ariane frowned but Kerry was annoyed lifting her one fixed eyebrow. She dared to pull Khai from his back shoulder and yelled. "I'm so fucking done with you! If you were together with that girl for real," lifts her eyebrow again as her eyes twitch. "Then I hope she dies lying in that room!!" Kerry screamed at Khai's face.
The assistant and Ariane were just watching both people in their fight.
"What did you say?" Khai lifted his left arm in the air with a hard curled fist ready to punch Kerr-r-r.
"Khai stop it!!" Ariane screamed.
Finally, Khai deformed it and pinpointed it at the door. "Get the fuck off!!" Khai calmly ordered. It was not a yell. It was more of begging for Kerry to get out of his sight.
Kerry lets a heavy breath. Her chest thickened and out from her nostrils were loud air coming out. She stamped her feet and glared at Khai once more before walking away.
Ariane was terrified and was still standing at her ground in the corner.
"All of you! Get the fuck off!!" Khai loudly shouted. It caught the attention of some people in the hallway.
One nurse came running towards the room. "The patient you asked for is unconsciously awake now," the nurse delivered the good news.
Kerry and Ariane heard it clear. While they look at Khai come out of his room and rush to see Samantha, Kerry rolled her eyes and walks away leaving Ariane to catch up with her speed.
"Sam."
