Cassandra's POV

BEEP BEEP BEEP

I groaned as bright light hit my eyes. I looked around my surroundings. It was like a hospital room.
I was hooked up to tubes, wires and plugs.

How the hell did I end up here? What happened?

I grunted as I tried to sit up. But then a sharp pain shot through my body, causing me to fall back on the bed.
I gasped....remembering everything that went down.

"Cass! You're awake! Oh thank goodness!"

It was Patricia.
I tried to sit up again but I just grimaced in pain.

"Here....let me help you."

Patricia grabbed at my shoulder and my arm, helping me to sit up.

"What happened?" I asked, worriedly.

Patricia sighed. "Dunbar shot you. But don't worry....he's in the custody. He isn't getting away this time," Patricia tried to reassure me.

But that was the least of my concerns right now.

"How's Barbie?" I asked worriedly.

Patricia sighed but she didn't say anything, which made me worry even more.

"Patricia! How's Barbie?!" I exclaimed.

"She's still in the ICU. She hasn't woken up yet," Patricia finally replied.

WHAT?!? ICU?!!

"She had cardiac arrest just before she was rushed to the hospital. She's more stable now," Patricia was quick to continue or else I was going to have a cardiac arrest, too.

I let out a sigh of relief.
But I was still worried for her.
I could see from Patricia's face that there was more into this.

I raised an eyebrow questioningly.

"The doctors say that if she doesn't wake up soon, she may....she may not make it."

My heart stilled for a moment as panic set in.

I struggled to get up.

"What are you doing?!" Patricia hissed, "You should be resting!"

"I should be resting?!" I scoffed, "Barbie is my cousin!"

Patricia gently pushed me back.

"You're not going anywhere!" Patricia replied firmly....causing me to grunt in frustration.

I knew she was right though. I couldn't do anything irrational. My mom would kill me for sure if I did.

Right then there was a knock on the door and a couple seconds later....Renee and Teresa entered the room.

"Hey girl!" Renee smiled cheerfully, "How are you feeling?"

I shrugged casually. Physically....I hated that I couldn't move from this damn bed. Mentally....I was worried sick for my cousin and I was soooo furious that I wanted to sneak into Pentagon's holdout cell and burn that asshole's ass for what he did.

I sighed as I rested my head on the pillow.
"Honestly I feel like I'm going to throw up due to.... everything," I remarked dryly.

They gave me sympathetic looks.

"How I wish I could punch that asshole in the face," Patricia sighed, apparently reading my mind, "He literally broke my nose!"

All of us started chuckling.

He's done way worse to Barbie....and me.

Just right then I heard another knock on the door. I kinda expected it to be grandpa or mom.
