Killer Unknown

Chapter 14: She's Alive

As everyone left the hospital and walked in their separate ways, Mr. Cruz was suspiciously walking extremely slowly. Jules felt like he wanted them all out of the view, so that he could do something secretively. She quickly darted behind a brick wall garage, out of Mr. Cruz's sight. She watched as he looked around the area for any vehicles that he could recognize. When he was satisfied, he got into his vehicle and pulled off. Jules dashed to her car, started it up, and sped off behind him. She made sure to stay two vehicles behind Mr. Cruz as she followed him. For some weird reason, Mr. Cruz drove forty five minutes to a hotel when he could've stayed across the street from the hospital. She watched him park in front of the hotel and wait. Jules decided to park in the parking lot to see who was exiting the hotel. Imagine her surprise when she saw the secretary, or King's mom walking out of the hotel holding two hands of little girls. Jules exited her vehicle and rushed over to the front of the hotel as the woman stopped to tip the concierge boy.

"Really, Mr. Cruz?! She died in childbirth, but really she is alive. Really?" Jules yelled.

"Jules, what are you doing here?" Mr. Cruz said, exiting his vehicle.

"David, who is this?" Maria asked.

"Who am I? I am the woman who is going to get you killed, that's who I am!" Jules screamed at Maria.

"Daddy, daddy why is she yelling?" The little girl asked while tugging on David's shirt.

"Daddy? Oh you are in for it now!" Jules raged.

"Jules, please! Let's be rational about this!" Mr. Cruz pleaded.

"Rational, we are beyond rational! In fact, we are in a major catastrophe and I don't feel sorry for you. What are you going to do, offer me candy? I'm not Beverly," Jules snarled.

"Please, I'll do anything for you to keep this between us!" Mr. Cruz begged.

"Why are you begging her David? It's not like King and Penelope are babies, these are your babies," Maria snapped.

"Don't you dare call their names! Your bastard children have no say in anything regarding them, so don't put them in the same sentence. Why are you even talking?!" Jules yelled.

"You will not speak of my daughters that way!" Maria flared.

"Or you will do what? Go ahead I am dying to take my frustration out on someone, try me," Jules threatened as she approached Maria.

"Girls, please! Not in front of the hotel and my daughters," Mr. Cruz pleaded.

"So they are your daughters, huh? Well your oldest daughter is fighting for her life because you didn't have the audacity to tell the truth, your son is barely holding it together, but you can have a whole family with this woman?" Jules yelled.

"You're speaking as if King is not my son too!" Maria cried.

"I told you not to call his name and you are right, he is not your son because no mother would give up her child to have her lover," Jules stated, face-to-face with Maria.

"You can judge me all you want, but I was a kid! I couldn't raise him by myself; it was the best thing for him. I don't expect you to understand, you are a privileged spoiled brat," Maria yelled.

Jules performed a round house kick which caught Maria in the center of her face. Maria's head fell backwards, but she was able to keep her balance. The girls started to cry as Mr. Cruz tried to pry Jules off of Maria. Then he panicked when his oldest daughter jumped on top of Jules back. He picked his daughter up and placed her in the car. Then he picked Jules up who was still kicking and punching in the air in rage as he lifted her. As for Maria, she tried to scramble to her feet with blood flowing from her face. Mr. Cruz realized that members of the hotel were recording the whole ordeal, so he sat Jules on the bench. When he got up to walk back to Maria, Jules jumped on his back and started beating him. She bit him, kicked him, and scratched him as if she was a rabid animal.
