ZACHARY

We're outnumbered. Fifty against sixteen.

We're fucked.

We cautiously pointed our guns towards the men surrounding us. Charlie and Delta quietly snuck up on them, aiming their guns and waiting for Sin's signal.

"Fire!"

The enemy and the two groups shot as we ducked. Unfortunately, one bullet got HQ as one of the enemies calculated we would do this. Multiple of the bad guys had died but we still had the rest who had come from the sounds.

I knocked Ezrick out with the butt of my gun and dragged him towards us. Quickly, we started firing to make a path for us to go through.

"Kitten!" Sin put his gun on his back and went to hold his sister. She pushed her brother's shoulder away, "The bullet is still in me, it's holding the blood flow, so don't let me lean on the front. Lean on the back so the blood doesn't flow out."

He did what she said and let her lean on her back.

"We need to get out of here," Lawless said, firing his rifle at oncoming enemies.

"Cover for Harley and the victim and let's get out of here. Drag Powell out with us and try to find Smith," Sin laid down the order and we started to move and circle HQ and Howards. I grabbed the traitor's foot before dragging him behind us. Switching the rifle to a pistol, I started shooting one-handed as we tried our best to get the enemies.

Sin picked my Diamond up bridal-style and we started moving. HQ was holding onto her bullet wound as Sin steadily carried her.

We successfully made it out and Sin ordered into the earpiece, "Head out, Harley Quinn is injured."

I put my pistol in my holster and Sin passed my girlfriend to me. I quickly carried her to her car and Landon opened the door. He leaned the passenger seat down and I laid her on there.

"I'll lead the way to the hospital," Landon said and I nodded, buckling Diamond to the seat. He ran to his car as I closed the passenger door and went in the driver's seat.

Taking her keys from her, I started the engine and followed the twins behind their car as we zoomed to the nearest hospital, a retinue of cars right at our tails, forming a fucking conga line.

***

The car came to a stop and I got out, running to Diamond's side. I opened the door and unbuckled the seat belt before picking her up in my arms, making sure to lie her horizontally so the blood doesn't flow out. I could tell how much pain she currently is in and sped up.

"Diamond, you're going to be alright," I tried to reassure her but she just pushed my face back to look where I was running, "Shut up and just get me there. The blood is starting to seep out."

I nodded and ran into the hospital. Landon was already calling for a doctor and a nurse came with a stretcher. I laid my girlfriend on there and they pushed the stretcher towards the emergency room.

Another nurse pushed the double doors open and the stretcher went in before the doors closed and locked. I ran my fingers through my hair as I sat down.

"Oh, god," I muttered to myself, "Please let her be safe."

An hour had passed and I was playing with my fingers anxiously. Landon- I think- was pacing back and forth across the hallway, nervously cracking his knuckles. KT leaned next to the ER doors, biting his lip now and then and looking at the door.

Sam sat next to me, nibbling on his nails and bouncing his leg. Mark was seated beside him and he lightly tapped the back of his head on the wall, closing his fist tightly and reopening them before repeating the same actions again and again.

And me? Well, I was playing with my fingers, twirling them around and taking note of everything going on around me. I linked my fingers together before twiddling my thumb around each other, tapping my feet on the tiled floor.

No one had said a word since she went in there and I'm starting to go crazy with worry.

Oh, shit. Now I rhyme when I'm nervous, it's gorgeous. Fuck.

The door opened and we all shot up. The surgeon walked out, pulling his mask down.

"How is she?" Landon asked immediately and the surgeon asked back, "Relations to the patient?"

"I'm her brother, how is she?" he asked again and the surgeon smiled, "The bullet didn't hit any vital organs, she's going to make a full recovery."

She's going to make a full recovery.

My lips widened into a full-blown grin.

My Diamond is going to be okay.

"Oh, thank god," Landon and KT's shoulders visibly relaxed as they sighed in relief. Sam and Mark were already hugging each other, smiling nonstop.

"When can we see her?" I asked, standing beside Landon. The surgeon raised an eyebrow, "Relation?"

"I'm her boyfriend," I answered and he nodded, "Currently, the patient's unconscious from the anesthetic, but she'll wake up soon. We moved her to a recovery room, 308."

"Send her to a VIP room," Landon ordered and the surgeon shook his head, "I apologize, sir, but the VIP section is only for certain people-"

"I am the CEO of EAH," Landon said, pulling out his phone to show his business card, "And I demand you to put my sister in a VIP room."

The surgeon's face paled slightly and nodded, "Yes, Mr. Estrada. We'll move her right away."

The surgeon gestured to a nurse and turned back to us, "She's been moved to room 905."

"Good," Landon turned and walked in the direction of my Diamond's room and we followed behind. KT fell in step with his twin and we silently walked through the hallways, heading into the west wing of the hospital.

The twins pushed the door open and looked up at the doorplates. KT pointed to a room on the left of the corridor, "There."

We walked to the door and the twins turned to face us before Landon spoke, "I think you should wait out here first. We'd like a family moment."

Sam, Mark, and I nodded before taking a seat on the waiting chairs while the twins knocked before walking in. I linked my fingers again and started to swivel my thumbs.

Thank fuck she's okay.
