Other Half: Zatima Chapter

Chapter 1

5 minutes earlier.....

Zac's pov:
So far this dinner with Fatimas parents has been great. I appreciated them for inviting me over and having this do over dinner. I also appreciate the fact that they gave me and Fatima some advice on how to handle our relationship. They didn't have to do this for us. Henry has told me a few things about Fatima growing up which was nice. Soon it was starting to get late and for some reason the hairs on my arm's started to stand up and I started to get really bad feeling like something was about to pop off and just like that gunshots rattled through house from the front windows and my first instinct was to push Fatima to the ground and cover her as quickly as I could. I noticed Henry did the same thing to Mona. I know Fatima has her gun in her purse and I quickly hopped up and grabbed it from the counter before quickly sitting down. I pulled her gun out and took the safety off before crawling close to front door without being seen. I'm happy this woman invested in a small silencer. I moved into a good position as I fired back at them until they stopped firing all together. When I looked to see if the coast was clear at the side of the window I heard Mona and Fatima scream.
Mona- Oh My Gosh! Henry!
Fatima- Daddy!!
I made sure the coast was clear and that the people who were shooting were dead and luckily they were before running back over to see what happened. Mona was crouched over Henry and she had her hands folded over a wound in his right shoulder. She had blood on the side of her face from when Henry was hit. Fatima was on the other side of him by his head. She has her hands placed on his face trying to coach him to stay awake with tears rolling down her cheeks.
Fatima- I need you to stay with me. We still have so many more moments to spend together so I'm going to need you here. Please don't leave us behind daddy. I still need you and mom definitely needs you too. It's not your time and definitely not like this. (Sobbing)
Mona had her head facing towards me with her eyes closed silently crying as she heard Fatima cry for her dad to live.
Mona- The nearest hospital is 30 minutes away from here and with this wound and with his age he won't make it. What are we going to do. (Sobbing)
There was blood on the floor and the wall. Mona was putting pressure on the wound to prevent blood loss. Growing up in the hood you pick up a few things. There's no possible way to get to the hospital without them dying from blood loss first. Nearest hospital is 30 minutes away. The gun shots were lethal and one wrong move and he will bleed out. I knew what I had to do to at least give him a fighting opportunity and longer life.
Zac- I'm going to make a call to someone I know and I'm going to need  all of you to trust me.
Mona-Hurry we're waisting time!!
Zac- Ok.
I pulled out my phone and placed a call to a friend of mine from a time in my life I thought I  would be done with. I was once a leader of a small gang. We robbed banks and sold drugs and had millions of dollars in offshore bank accounts. We have connections across borders and we were on the fbi radar more then once but no one could ever figure out who we were and how to find us especially since we disbanded 7 years ago and some of us haven't talked since then. Now that this situation has occurred it all has now changed and we may have to come out of hiding and the way I'm feeling right now is not good for anyone.
Zac- Hey I need a favor from you.
Unknown- You know I got you on whatever you need.
Zac- I need your surgeon skills. You got my location right?
Unknown- yes I do and I'm actually 6 minutes out from there, im at my moms house right now. I should be there in about 3 minutes with all my supplies.
Zac- that's great,thank you. See you soon.

I hung up the phone and looked at Mona.
Zac- I got someone that is coming fast and will be able to help. I promise you that.
Mona- Who?
Zac- A buddy of mine who is a doctor and where is your basement at-
The front door busts open with Madam and Tommy coming through it.
Madam- Auntie!! Fatima!! Oh my god Uncle Henry!! What happened in here?
Zac-You know what that's not important where's the bleach and I'm gonna need you sir to clean that table off.
Mona- There's bleach under the kitchen sink and alcohol in the top cabinet.
Madam- who are you?
Zac- I'm Zac.
I quickly walked over to where Mona said the bottles were and quickly grabbed them as Tommy did what I said cause he can tell I got things under control and plus were an a moment of urgency and Madam moved to the front room to place a call to the cleaning crew she had. Not even a good two minutes later as me and Tommy finished with cleaning the kitchen table, there was a knock at the door and Madam opened it and My boy Jermaine walked through the door with his brother Tyrell, both in scrubs.
Zac- Jermaine thanks for coming here so fast. The person that needs help is my woman's father that's over there. He was shot but I don't know about the damage of his wounds.
I led him over to where Henry was still laying down.
Zac- We didn't want to move him until you got here.
Jermaine-It's ok I got this.
Jermaine proceeded over to where Henry was and got on his knees next to so he can look at the damage.
Jermaine- May i please take a look at your husband wounds Ms?
Mona- Wilson and yes you can.
Mona slowly moved her hands as Jermaine puts on medical gloves on and a mask. He also grabbed gauze from his medical bag he brought with him. Once Mona moved her hand entirely Henry started to bleed more frequently and Jermaine quickly stopped that from happening with the gauze. He waved tyrell over. He then addressed Fatima and her parents.
Jermaine- I know neither one of you three know me but Zac does and we go way back and I owe him my life, with that being said me and my brother over here will keep him alive and we will need the room to do so. If that's ok?
Fatima- Do whatever you need to do to save my father please. We will go upstairs to the master bedroom.
Mona was still silently crying and so was Fatima. I walked over to them both and helped them both to stand upright. Madam walked over and helped Mona upstairs while I got Fatima. Tommy stayed downstairs to make sure the coast stay clear. I had my arm wrapped around Fatima's waist as we headed to the master bedroom. I made sure to tell her that everything is going to be okay and that her father is going to make it and to trust me. We made it to the room and Mona instantly went to the bathroom and closed the door.

(Disclaimer- I finally have time to get back into writing again and at the moment I'm going to go through these last few chapters and fix some mistakes and let me know what you guys think and what would you like to see happen in this story.)
