Chapter 35

"I'm here for April Lanier! What room is she in?" Spazz asked her approached the receptionist desk in the ER.

"May I ask who you are sir? That patient is detained and as a has strict list of approved visitors." The nurse replied looking up from the computer.

"An'Toni Lanier her twin brother." Tony spoke pulling out his id.

"Okay thank you, wait right here I'm sending for an escort. Page to 9th floor nurse's station." The nurse said speaking into her walkie-talkie.

"Copy.." The walkie-talkie beeped.

"I need security escort for a visitor, clearance approved." The nurse talked in the walkie-talkie.

"Heard, sending security escort down." The walkie-talkie beeped.

"Okay Mr. Lanier, step over to my right for me. Security escort is coming right down." The nurse informed Tony.

Tony nodded and followed her instructions stepping to her right. He slightly leaning against the counter to stop himself from pacing.

"Mr. Lanier" The receptionist nurse called out, falling faintly on Tony's ears.

Dazed out, he jumped startled when the security guard tapped him.

"My apologies, follow me." She said sweetly.

Tony stood up straight, brushing off his clothes in nervousness as he dragged his feet to follow behind the security guard to the elevator.

"I don't know y'all, but I got faith that she'll make it through. God has his hands on her, just keep your faith it'll carry you far." She said sweetly with a small smile gently touching his hand.

Tony looked over at her with a nod. "Thank you" he said barely above a whisper.

As the elevator dinged to the 9th floor, Tony followed the security through three sets of secured doors to a secluded area with an ICU. He instantly knew which room was April's judging by the hefty presence of law enforcement guarding the door.

The security guard opened the door and stepped aside allowing him to walk in.

"Her rape kit came back, she has substantial bruising and scarring to her genital area. Along with the other injuries I don't know how long just yet before she can be awaken from the medically induced coma. We lost her twice on the oper—" The doctor paused reading his chart as Tony's tall figure appeared.

"Man nawll... that's not my sister." Tony called out in disbelief as he slowly walked around the corner seeing her hooked up to various cords, tubes, and medical devices.

"Tony.. I'm so sorry.. Doctor Williams this is her twin brother. Tony she—" Ronda called out to him seeing he was beyond upset and in a daze as he mumbled something to himself while analyzing his sister's condition.

"Fuck this! I can't look at her like this.. fuck this shit man I'm not finna stand in here watching her barely cling to life—" Tony announced aggressively growing angry.

"Sir calm down please this is an ICU—" The doctor said noticing a change in April's vitals.

"FUCK YOU AND FUCK THIS I DONT GIVE FUCK BOUT NO ICU! Can't even save my fuckin sister, bitch ass crackas gone feel me, fuck y'all looking at?!" Tony shouted angrily as he walked out, slamming the door.

April's machine started beeping like crazy, her vitals were going haywire. Shortly after she started to severely shake.

"Code 762, Patient is having a seizure, I need Doctor Gilliam and a nurse ASAP." The doctor spoke into the call button.
